Samsung is reportedly lining up an iris verification system, QHD resolution and a new Tizen OS as main technologies for 2014.
The electronics giant is said to be applying the QHD resolution that is of higher quality than full HD and iris verification tech into its smartphone range next year.
According to Cnet, the iris verification technology was acquired by Samsung and been known via Korea's Patent Office and lets users unlock their smartphone with an iris scan.
It is unclear if Samsung will be the one to launch the 'first QHD' smartphone as China's VIVO and LG are also working on the same technology for smartphones, the report added.
