The Chinese company ZTE at the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2015) in Barcelona presented its new flagship smartphone – ZTE Grand S3, the main advantage of which is the support of Eyeprint ID security technology from EyeVerify, which uses the front-facing camera built into the smartphone to recognize the user by blood vessels in the whites of the eyes.
This system is used as an alternative to the smartphone security system, where a password is required (unlocking the device, restricting access to functions, etc.), and will soon be integrated with the mobile payment system and other applications.
