ViewSonic is expected to launch a new smartphone with next generation technology at CES 2015. The company might unveil the V55 smartphone with Iris Scanner and recognition technology.
The V55 should sport a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS Full HD display, a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 clocked at 1.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 16 or 32 GB of storage and a 13-megapixel camera. Apart from usual set of connectivity features, ViewSonic V55 will come equipped with 4G / LTE connectivity. The company has also released a video teaser of the device showing Iris Scanning technology. The Iris technology will allow only the owner whose iris patterns are recorded, to unlock and access information from the smartphone. It will help the users to protect their data in their device and prevent it from any unauthorised access.

ViewSonic V55 smartphone will include the iris scanner on top right corner of the handset and will be covered with a small piece. Users will have to slide the piece covering the scanner to use it. Samsung was touted to be working on iris detection technology along with biometric sensors in May.
