ZTE’s Grand S3 is one phone you don’t want to give the evil eye to (hands-on)

 

BARCELONA — Most of us spend a lot of time looking at our smartphones, so it should be no surprise that ZTE is taking it to the next level with a biometric security solution that uses the vein patterns in the human eye to unlock the phone.

Yes, you read that right. The ZTE Grand S3, unlike Apple’s TouchID, comes with Eyeprint ID, which scans your eyeball with the front-facing camera to verify that it’s you before unlocking the phone. It’s based on EyeVerify technology announced last year at MWC; it uses images the veins in the corner of your eyes as a unique identifier.
