Samsung Galaxy S4 became a huge success that the spotlight now turns on its upcoming refreshed version: the Samsung Galaxy S5. According to reports, the Korean tech giant will be ramping up production in January 2014 in time for a February or March release. New information also surfaced saying that Samsung just filed a patent on eye recognition technology for user authentication. Can Samsung be including an eye sensor for their next flagship? 

Apple introduced the TouchID sensor in the Apple iPhone 5 series. It seems Samsung wants to challenge chat as reports cited the South Korean company filing a U.S. patent on eye recognition technology for user authentication on devices.
