Crapsung S8 BTFO!
>The Samsung Galaxy S8 is the first flagship smartphone with iris recognition. The manufacturer of the biometric solution is the company Princeton Identity Inc. The system promises secure individual user authentication by using the unique pattern of the human iris.
>A new test conducted by CCC hackers shows that this promise cannot be kept: With a simple to make dummy-eye the phone can be fooled into believing that it sees the eye of the legitimate owner. A video shows the simplicity of the method.

Good. I hate Samsung.
But I also hate phone users so I don't care if they get bent over
A picture + generic contact lens is all that's needed to open someone's phone now.

Biometrics is the worst security idea since smbv1
It is literally nothing.
How would one get a decent picture of your iris without you knowing?

A camera. It's not that difficult.
Why tho. Finger prints work fine already.

Selfies and other pics would have terrible iris quality.

Stand across someone, fiddle with a phone and pretend you're just reading faceshit or something and then just snap a pic of someone.
EASY!
you know how you have to do stupid things like "unintentionally" make your iris recognition software so shitty that an undergrad could make a better version in less than a day, just so you get the news attention and so this will advertised like for free
Apple iPhone 7 Plus doesn't have this problem.

Stand across someone, look above his shoulder when he enters his pin/pattern into his mobile and recognize it.
EASY!
What did you expect? Pentagon level security in a phone not bigger than a calculator?
I'm really curious as to how easy it is to beat those too. fingerprints can be beaten with a printer.
