If you have already had the opportunity to travel to Japan, you probably know the operator NTT Docomo. Little known in the West, the Japanese company, however, in my opinion, one of the most innovative operators worldwide. And his latest novelty is a smartphone equipped with an iris scanner.


In essence, instead of asking you to put your finger on a fingerprint scanner or to ask you a combination of points, the NX smartphone Arrows F-04G operator authenticates you with your iris, which also contains a biometric fingerprint.

And in addition to authenticate the user to unlock the smartphone, this new sensor also enables to allow mobile payments. Everything matches the specifications of the FIDO Alliance (Fast IDentity Online). The error rate was one in 100,000 on prototypes.

Otherwise, the smartphone, which was actually developed by Fujitsu, has a 5.2 inch screen (2560 × 1400), a 21.5 megapixel camera at the back and a battery of 3120 mAh.

The OS used is of course Android. As for the price in Japan, it is more or less interesting since, as reported by our PC World colleagues, it would be around 460 dollars.

We now know that Samsung is also working on this authentication method.
