**The ZTE Grand S3 with IPrint Technology: A New Era in Mobile Security**
As we take a closer look at the ZTE Grand S3, it's clear that this device is equipped with advanced features that set it apart from other smartphones on the market. One of the most exciting features of the Grand S3 is its use of eye printing technology, also known as IPrint, which allows users to unlock their phone using their own eyes.
**Design and Hardware**
The Grand S3 boasts a colorful UI and capacitive buttons at the bottom, making it easy to navigate through different apps and settings. The device comes with three gigabytes of RAM, allowing for seamless multitasking. We can see that there are already some apps running in the background, but we can easily clear them out by pressing on them. The design itself is quite nice, with a focus on clean lines and minimalistic aesthetics.
**Security Features**
But what really sets the Grand S3 apart is its security features. The phone's security system is designed to be highly secure, using advanced biometric scanning technology to protect user data. We can take a closer look at this feature by navigating to the settings menu and selecting "Sky ID". Here, we can create our own unique eye print, which will serve as our password to unlock the phone.
**How IPrint Works**
The IPrint technology uses an 8-megapixel camera on the front-facing camera to scan the user's eyes. A 20-second video is recorded as the camera zooms in on the eyes to capture the unique patterns and details. This information is then stored securely, ensuring that only authorized users can access the phone. We're able to try out this feature ourselves by positioning our eyes in the camera viewfinder and holding still for a few seconds.
**Camera Capabilities**
In addition to its IPrint technology, the Grand S3 also boasts an impressive camera system. The front-facing camera has an 8-megapixel resolution, making it perfect for selfies and video calls. We can see that there are several camera modes available, including pro mode, which allows for manual focusing and more. The rear-facing camera has a 16-megapixel resolution, with 4:3 and 12:9 aspect ratios to suit different shooting styles.
**Conclusion**
Overall, the ZTE Grand S3 is an impressive device that offers a unique combination of design, hardware, and security features. With its IPrint technology, the phone takes mobile security to a whole new level, making it an attractive option for those looking for added protection against unauthorized access. We're excited to get our hands on this device and put its camera capabilities and other features through their paces in a future review.
**Additional Features**
The Grand S3 also features Dolby-enhanced sound, which provides a rich and immersive audio experience. The phone's design is sleek and modern, making it a great choice for those looking for a stylish and functional device. With its advanced security features and impressive camera system, the ZTE Grand S3 is definitely worth considering for anyone in the market for a new smartphone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey it's joshua garr from android authority what's going on everybody and here we're taking a look at the zte grand s3 what we have here is a 5.5 inch screen on the front powered with full hd resolution and we're taking a look at the back real quick i wanted to show you the soft touch backing that's here that is actually removable i'm going to go ahead and remove that yes right over here there you go and we have a removable backing right here that has a removable and replaceable battery along with the dual sim setup that's down here on the bottom but the backing itself is of a soft touch material which is really nice in the hand it might get a little bit smudgy from time to time but that's uh what we expect from a soft touch backing but nonetheless it's a very attractive looking device at 5.5 inches with a metal frame all around with the power button and the volume rocker right here on the side the power button falling in a very nice place in order for you to get at it really easily and here's the full hd screen i'm gonna go ahead and unlock the phone and we're just gonna go through some of the elements the snapdragon 801 powers this kitkat version of zte's ui and as you can see there's no app drawer uh but you will be able to get some organization done using folders and whatnot getting through the settings you could you i'm going to go ahead and show you just inside of the settings the security area that already shows you the skylock and sky eye areas now sky eye is what we're going to be focusing on it's an eye print that you will be able to use in order to unlock the phone using your own eyes in order to do so but just going through a few of the elements before i get into the actual eye printing uh the colorful ui over here and these capacitive buttons here on the bottom three gigabytes of ram will allow you to have multitasking on here in a pretty easy fashion as you can see we already have some apps in the background going already i'll just go and just clear all of those you can see that happen but yeah the design itself is actually quite nice but the features are obviously what is underneath sound is as you can see down here enhanced by dolby and really the main crux of this particular device is its security features which i'm going to show you right now all right so here we are taking a look at the eye printing technology i'll go ahead and jump into the notification drop down to get easily to the settings it's a nice little transition that they have there i actually like the way that zte shows the quick settings panel uh but coming down to security is where we're going to find here the sky i as it is called in the settings area i'm going to go ahead and go there i'm going to change the i id from the one that our presenter already had confirm our pattern i'm going to go ahead and erase the existing eye print in order to create mine so you'll see it happening in real time over here alright position my eyes in the window there now what's actually happening here is that a 20 second video is actually scanning not only the how my eyes look but actually zooming in using the eight megapixel optics on the front-facing camera in order to see the blood vessels inside of my eyeballs now i actually have glasses on but the edge i'm going to show you in a little bit i am not going to have a problem with that if i take off my glasses so there we are we have the sky id already set up i'm going to lock the phone right now and when you unlock the phone you swipe down from the top now considering you're already going to be looking at your phone the moment you unlock it it's kind of nice that you're just going to use your eyes to unlock it and then you'll be able to get into what you need to do right away oops it timed out there here you go positioning my eyes and there you go now it took a second there because i blinked but as you continue to use the eye printing on this it will get better and better because each time it scans your eyes in order to unlock the phone it updates the scan i already mentioned that the front facing optics are of an eight megapixel uh resolution and that is really great for a front-facing camera we're gonna go ahead and jump into that camera real quick after i had just shown you the eye printing or the sky eye that is there so this is the camera interface here i'll just bring that around hey everybody and you can see the settings here you have eight megapixels there at four by three six for 16 by nine video capabilities are 1080p on the front facing camera so it's a pretty powerful camera optic package that is on the front that is able to do the eye printing that you just saw me demonstrate if i bring it back around we'll have a pro mode in the rear facing camera which is always great and if i wanted to have a leveler on here some manual focusing just a lot of different little elements that kind of get out of the way and transitions aren't keeping it from doing what it needs to do in a faster ma fashion i should say and going into the 16 megapixels is uh the resolution on the back at 16 by 9 12 for 4x3 and you also have uhd resolution for video capture so we have a pretty powerful camera package on here obviously we're going to reserve our camera picture quality opinions until we get our own review unit and be able to take pictures with it but nonetheless that is the camera experience on the cte grand s3 and it's just that easy the grand s3 by zte has that new security feature in there and i'm sure it's going to be a pretty fun one to use but it's also very good for security if you want to make sure that other people are going to keep their prying eyes away from your device this is joshua vergara
