Security plays a big part in phone design and specification, and ZTE have taken it up a notch with an eye scanner in the new ZTE Grand S3.
Eye scanners have been rumoured before in smartphones but until today no company had actually gone ahead and used one. The new ZTE Grand S3 uses EyeVerify to scan your eye with the front facing camera for an additional level of protection for your personal data.

The rest of the phone all look positively flagship too, with a Snapdragon 801 processor, FHD 5.5-inch display 3GB RAM, 8 mega-pixel front camera and 16 mega-pixel rear sensor.
Currently the ZTE Grand S3 will go on sale in China only but will hopefully see an international launch at below $500 in the near future.

what a crap. why i need so much security? i am at the pentagon or cia? code with 4 digit or stupid security pattern its more than enough.
Sure. “I have nothing to hide” has been the ideal and honorable excuse to provide unlimited access to everything a sensible person would consider ‘private’. NOFI, but this kind of attitude you express (or maybe: a lack of interest) that makes our governments and administrations pass restrictive or even oppressive laws so easily, these days.
And no, I’m not wearing a tin foil hat.
Sorry, I don’t quite understand. Because we don’t have strong sense of privacy the government can pass oppressive laws? Don’t really see the connection there
hi man
i think you a paranoid, we dont need more than regular security, and i dont have something to hide from government
Direct competitor of the Xiaomi Note, both are too pricey for me. S801 is already outdated, I much prefer MT6752 than this at half the price.
