Retinal scanner itself is believed to be safer than the fingerprint. Identity recognition process is also claimed to be faster, i.e. less than 2 seconds.

Eye scanner users also claimed to be more comfortable to wear because there is no physical contact between users with their Smartphone. This technology also can still work well even though the owner was wearing glasses. Unfortunately not yet known when this technology can be implemented into the phone.
