The guy that did the unboxing last week of S8+ has made a video today of the Iris Scanner.
I can't say I'm impressed to be honest.
Any of you guys experience similar performance?
Video is here:

Better than the Note7!
Of course in direct sunlight it's going to struggle.
That IR LED looks quite powerful so no problem in room light and dark.
The only area where the Iris Scanner seems to take a second or two for me so far is sunlight when it is right behind me (in front of me is fine).
Dark room/indoors is instant if aligned.

Hi guys,
Overall, I am quite satisfied with my s7 edge, including the camera.
There is one thing that bugs me though.
Whenever there is a birth light source - sun, street lamp, etc., it reflects inside of the lens system, creating weird artifacts. See the attached photo & the video.

Do you experience this too?
Hi,
Yup got those lens flares/ ghosting (due to the lens construction),
Even my pro glasses for my DSLR has it
Cheers
Thanks for the reply.
I had never noticed this with my previous phones. It is good to know, that this is not a bug, rather a feature of the design.
I've searched around and there's a short mention here or there, and I'm not sure if I should exchange my new S7 because it's actually quite an annoying problem that I've not noticed on my S6 or Nexus phones before this S7.
When I take a photo with the camera facing a bright light source, eg the sun or a bright light at night, there is a blue spot that appears in the picture. I know it's a limitation of modern smartphone cameras, and it's likely a lens refraction or reflection, but it really does take away from the photo if I'm taking one of a beautiful sunset or even a cityscape at night. LIke I said, it's the first time I've noticed this in any of my cellphone cameras. I've tested similar exposure in my friends' S5 and they have the spot too. Even my backup windows phone has this.
Do ALL cameras have this? Are there any S7 owners here who don't have this problem? If there are S7s without this problem, then I'm ok with exchanging the phone for a new one hoping for one without this. I'ts kinda a buzz kill for me on such a fantastic phone otherwise.

I have the same problem with my phone. When I take a pic of candles, there is also some kind of purple halo around the flame. I read somewhere that it is because of the lack of IR filter on the lens.
I agree with the fact that this is really annoying for a phone of that price
first problem is lense flare, it depends on optics design and is normal!
second issue (purple halo) is ir radiation not properly filtered, due to probably lacking IR filter.
this is an issue long present in mobile cam history, although there are and were mobiles with proper filtering cam modules existing...

Thanks guys, as expected, i figured it is a 'normal' thing, but it still drives me nuts. I'm still hoping to hear from more people, since misery loves company in the event that some actually say they don't have this, i might exchange my phone for another to try my luck.
I thought I was the only one me too
Hi All!
I've been reading that many users got ligh leaks above the front facing camera and he iris scanner on the S8 (to check it you need to go to a dark room, put the brightness on max and use a white backgour, or for example, slide the notifications slider and cover the top of the display with your hand, looking to the front facing camera area, while tilting the phone in order to get the leak visible).
While not being an issue regarding IP68 protection as it is just light being reflected by he glass, and not an actual gap between the glass and the metal, it is tremendously annoying. My new S8 has it and I am thinking about an exchange.
Yet, and to know if while exchanging I will get my issue solved, could you just answer this inquiry, please?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, I think my S7 Edge camera has a serious HDR issue especially in the front camera. Whenever there's a little light coming from behind (while taking a selfie), the camera just turns black and I can't even see my face even during the day. The same issue is with the primary camera. I was lying down on the couch with my iPad reading my research work on my lap, I wanted to take a snap of the ceiling as I was laying down, so I opened up the camera and the ipad screen happened to peek in a little bit(the brightness was a bit high on the iPad) and the camera again turned completely black, so even in a well lit room it was like all the lights were dimmed completely. I have attached the photos of the same.
First photo is the issue I am talking about. And the second photo is of the actual room without the ipad screen.
Please help me out here. Is there some app or tweak that will force the camera not to do this? See I love this phone a lot and been holding on to it since it's release and I don't wanna switch phones just because of the camera but I am really frustrated with this issue.
Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the , all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Great
Weird thread but ok. Love this phone actually, just wish the battery life was better and that the Moto team spent more time on the camera software.
Agreed battery life not as good as hoped and camera needs attention hopefully can be sorted with updates

This phone is a steal at its price point, android 1, great camera, great performance except for gaming which I haven't checked, good speaker and signal strength.
tl;dr of pros and cons
Pros
48MPx camera (quad pixel, 12MPx image and 5MPx depth sensor)
25 MPx FFC
4K Video (30fps)
Slow-mo ([email protected] and [email protected])
OIS (rear camera only)
Fingerprint sensor is relatively fast
Face unlock
21:9 LCD
HDR10 certified display that's bright enough on a sunny day
Reasonably loud speaker
Quick charging
Headphone jack
Overall design
Performance
Cons
Light bleed around the FFC on LCD
Fingerprint sensor is not reliable
Touch sensitivity is horrible white charging
Again, touch is less sensitive while using screen protector
Little bit buggy software (as of September 2019)
Camera app is bit slow
turbopower is QC 2.0, not the newer one QC3.0
GPS sometimes slower
Good to know stuff
NFC antenna is below fingerprint sensor
LCD is behind Gorilla Glass 2.5D
Back glass is Gorilla Glass 3D
Photos in low light might have purple-ish tint, but only sometimes ?

Did you start facing too much problems after android Q
related to LCD, system ui etc?
What was there a change in screen refresh rate after android Q? Please reply ASAP.
" LCD is behind Gorilla Glass 2.5D " ....
Let's see , I have this phone almost a year , first I was really in a hurry to put on a screen protector but due the curved screen I can't use it so since several months I use the phone without screen protector , only with a plastic back cover . I must say I'm surprised all this time the screen is scratchless , absolutely clean and bright . I don't know what Gorilla Glass class is but it's fine to me .
