If rumors are to be believed we would see a retina scanner in the yet to be announced Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The Phablet is expected to be announced this September. The device may come with a 5.7 inch display and the new Exynos 5433 chipset. After the fingerprint scanner and the failed attempt of Face-unlock feature we may finally get to see what a retina scanner could do to help secure devices. If Samsung pulls it off we may be looking at a better way of securing our devices.
