The feature is expected to be unveiled on the S9, it has been also reported that it doesn’t require any extra hardware.

Intelligent scan! According to the strings in the Settings apk, Intelligent scan is a combination of both Iris and Facial recognition. It uses “Iris Scanner and Face Recognition together for better results even in low or very bright light.” Well this is new.

As this feature is unknown to users, so it is expecting to be introduced with the S9. Samsung could give the feature to S8 and Note 8 users when the official Oreo upgrade arrives. But still it is not clear that they will get the same level of face recognition-based features. S9 is going to beat iPhone X in terms of face recognition and now you will also experience other features that depend on stricter security.
