"Stunning! The first Smartphone equipped with the 2nd Generation of the Iris Recognition Technology come to you – the HOMTOM HT10
Just open your eyes, glimpse at the screen, and then unlock your HOMTOM 10. Easily!
So what is the iris recognition technology? What are the characters and functions? What are the improvements compared to last generation?
About Iris recognition technology
Iris recognition, as a biological authentication system, uses the pattern of the iris of the human eyes. It takes four steps: Iris image acquisition, image preprocessing, feature extraction and feature matching. The Iris recognition technology in Smartphone requires the front camera to complete the collection of the information. The Iris recognition works on the base of recognition to the iris of outside annular pupil collected with infrared. Under the normal circumstances, due to its own uniqueness, the accuracy of iris recognition is higher than that of the white of the eyes.
The characteristics of the iris
Iris recognition distinguishes people’s identity based on the iris and it is mainly used in security equipments or in those highly confidential places. Iris contains many intertwined spots, filaments, coronal, stripes, crypts and other detailed features. After two years old, the iris will hardly change. So using the iris as the password will have a better sense of "long-term safety." These characteristics determine the uniqueness of the iris, and also the uniqueness to recognize the identity. Therefore, we add the iris recognition technology to HOMTOM phones to better protect your personal information.
The second generation of the iris recognition technology
The HOMTOM HT10 will use the second generation of the iris recognition technology. So what are the more advanced features in the new generation? It scans your iris in unlocking the phone within a second, faster than ever. Also it improves the sensitivity in a dark environment experience. Now you can unlock your phone at night or low light indoors. In addition, the iris recognition technology can be added to encryption programs. Your programs and information will be more secure, and you never get nervous for the moment when you forget the password.
The HOMTOM HT10 will come out on market with the second generation iris recognition technology to unlock the phone. Compared with fingerprint or TouchID, the iris recognition can be more convenient in different environments. For example, cold day make it uncomfortable for you to take off the gloves to unlock your phone by fingerprint, or after finishing work out, sweat causes your phone incapable of reading your touch ID. But all of these awkward occasions can easily be avoided with the iris recognition. Please take a relaxing look at the screen and unlock your phone. Moreover, it is safer than the Touch ID. "
release date?
How about the price?
Not a black model for the Homtom HT10 model?
My unpleasant surprise is that this brand are liars !
This smartphone model is a scam. Functions advertised were removed.
No 5Ghz Wi-Fi networks compatibility available.
No OTG function available.
No NFC function available.
OS isn't working properly (settings are not permanent, everytime I turn it off or IDLE too long (it could be two hours) it has lost my language preference and more).
There are plenty settings missing Vs others OS.
Battery optimization is too aggressive and long to fix because you need it to do it manually for all apps to correct it.
If you choose to protect your device with a password (PIN/password/pattern) for intrusion your device is going to freeze and you will have to reboot !
Camera quality in low light situation is really bad and only average in good light situation.
And last but not least: no official forum to report bugs and share tips with others customers!
Also no planning for updates.
Mine is working really nice at the moment, they are launching updates to correct bugs.
About the OTG i believe it's a software limitation, i tried several apps from the store and all recognize the hardware to work with OTG.
I have a problem with my HT10, the microphone in the calls does not work. I can record videos and I can talk if I use the headset. I already changed the bottom plate where the microcomputer is but it remains the same. I already changed the rom and it does not change. will it be necessary to change the mainboard?

REVIEW:
The Doogee Shoot 2 provides customers with a very interesting value proposition, being the cheapest phone on the market with a dual rear facing camera set up., and boasting premium features like fingerprint unlocking.
The box came with a usb cable, a charger with an Asian 220V plug, and of course the phone. I have tonnes of chargers from my old phones, so the Chinese charger wasn't too big of an issue for me.

The phone itself has a pretty hefty feel, weighing in at 178 g. It has a 5" 720p displa, with the 3.5 mm earphone jack and micro usb port on the top. On the bottom of the phone, it has some holes for the sound to come out. The phone has a fingerprint sensitive home button on the bottom bezel, and a power and volume button on the right side of the phone. The SIM and SD card slot is under the back cover. Overall the device has a good design and feels good in the hand.
The phone runs Android 7.0, and the set up in the beginning was a little troublesome. It was kind of slow and restarted on me. Maybe because the variant I had was the 1 GB RAM variant, and that the problem won't happen with the 2 GB RAM variant. But after the initial set up, and especially after the software update, the phone was much snappier. The phone comes with a little bloatware, as expected from pretty much all manufacturers, but overall the phone still was able to mostly retain the stock android feel. The feel was snappy, and there was no lag. For those who don't like the default launcher, of course you can install a 3rd party launcher (I did Nova Launcher), and replace all the 3rd party apps with apps of your choice. The fingerprint sensor did as it was supposed to, and I had no issues unlocking with my fingerprint, being able to unlock in about a second.
Antutu Benchmarks scored it at 22877, which is as fast as a Moto G3 3rd Gen at 23258.
The 5" screen is very bright, and watching YouTube was fine. The speakers are more than adequately loud as well. Definitely the area where Doogee spent the most time on was the camera app that comes included with the phone. It has tonnes of modes and options for camera enthusiasts to play around with, like ISO, exposure, white balance, etc. The app also has a dedicated Bokeh mode to really take advantage of the dual 5 mp camera lenses. It also boasts a 2x optical zoom, just like what the iPhone 7 Plus has. Truly, the dual lens camera is the highlight feature of the phone.
Last but not least is the battery life. It's phenomenal. With the standby intelligent power saving mode on, I can get about 3 days out of it if I don't touch my phone. Even with moderate usage, I can get a day out of it no problem. That's because it has a 3360 mAh battery. Paired with a screen with 720p resolution, that means the Shoot 2 can last much longer on a battery of this size compared with a Samsung S8, with it's 1440p screen.
Overall this is a great entry level phone, designed especially for those who want to snap some great photos without having to fork over hundreds for the higher end phones. Other than the hiccup during the initial set up, there were no issues with the phone at all, and from the time I got the phone and wrote the review, there were 2 OTA updates available for the phone. I look forward to the continued support from Doogee to keep this phone up to date.

Unboxing
Unlike some other non-smart equivalents, this one doesn't include any extra accessory in the box, containing: 1x 12V Power Adapter, 1x User Manual and the device itself. That's it! No dispenser or cleaning tool is included.
The build quality is decent, but not superb. Being 100% made of plastic, at least for the chassis, it can't fell premium of course, but this is normal for this kind of products. Something not normal is the way all plastic parts are cut, definitely not as good as i would have expected.
Starting from the front side, there are five buttons used to configure and manage the device. I like that the manufacturer left all manual controls even if this is a Smart Device. As you can notice, there are also lots of LEDs that indicate the current status, timer, power and mode.
On the back there is only the power connector, while on the lower side there is a small fan and lots of holes for heat dissipation.
As regards the transparent parts over the buttons and on the top side, this is where the RGB LED light do the "magic". First of all, the brightness isn't super-high, thus i had to take a photo with no in-room light. I know, the photo is noisy, but i had no other ways to let you see it.
Usage
Being a Smart Home device, it requires a dedicated app to manage all controls. The app is called "Oittm Smart", at least on the Play Store, and works perfect, with Amazon Alexa and Google Home compatibility. Unfortunately both services are not available yet in Italy so i won't be able to test them.
The app is well-made, with no noticeable issues neither translation errors, and there are lots of features. Of course it isn't made only for this humdifier, but for the whole Oittm eco-system.
It is possible to add scenes linked to the WiFi connection and so on, everything synced online.
Here a video where i show all the real-time changes using the app. It is vertical because, unfortunately, the app doesn't support landscape mode.
Conclusions
Some of my followers know that i am gradually making my, or better my parents's, home smarter and smarter day by day, and this is only the beginning.
This smart humidifier, or "aroma essential oil diffuser" as they call it (dammit soo many words), does his main job brillantly, and the smart management works perfect thanks to a well-developed application. It doesn't mean that it is perfect though, since build quality isn't superb, and LED brightness can't be adjusted.
So, do i recommend it? Yes, it is a valid smart home device.
Pros:
- Well-Developed App
- Google Home and Amazon Alexa compatible
- Easy to configure and manage
Cons:
- Fixed LED Brightness
- Mediocre Build Quality
Rating: 8.6
Packaging and Accessories: 7.5
Design and Materials: 7.5
Usage: 9.5
Price: 9.5 (based on Amazon price)

Another smart home stuff
Now the industry of a smart house is developing by leaps and bounds. Especially with Amazon.
Amazon recently published the news that they are developing a smart AR mirror. In addition to displaying weather, time, web search, etc. Its main function will be that it will show in real time how one or another outfit will look at you, taking into account the physics of the fabric and the movements of the operator's body.
P.S. The oil diffuser is useful thing)

Description
The Gooweel M15 is a 5" Smartphone with 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM running Android 6.0 and Flyme OS Add ons.
The camera sensor front is 2MP and on rear 5MP.
Battery specs are 2600 mAh, the battery is replaceable.
The phone has a full metal body and fingerprint sensor.
There is no LED notification light.
Weight is 158gr
Here is my short review and warning using the stock ROM!.
I purchased the Gooweel M15 at the official Gooweel shop on Aliexpress.
When it arrive, I found that there are too many apps communicating with servers in China.
Then I rooted the phone using Magisk and found surprisingly that the device is infected by
Android.Triada.231
Android.DownLoader.541.origin
Android OS 6.0 (Freemee OS Launcher Add ons)
Thanks to Dr.Web the threats could be cleaned and the virus, trojans are eliminated.
Using the Magisk Debloater Modul, I could debloat the device from all the FreemeOS apps and replaced the Freeme-Launcher with Google Now Launcher.
And also thanks to the Magisk Module "Google Framework" all Google Apps (Phone/Dialer) could be installed.
Camera:
The camera sensor has only 5MP, but gives decent pictures.
Fingerprint:
The finger print sensor is OK and quite fast.
I could get 9 good results out of 10.
GPS-Fix
The GPS Fix is quite fast and the reception stable.
LCD Screen
LCD type is only 2 touch.
Resolution 1280 x 720 with 320 (xhdpi)
RAM
2 GB LPDDR3_1600
Battery Live
I need the measure battery capacity by the USB-Meter.
But for the first time, there seems to be no wakelock issue, according CPU Spy the deep sleep ratio is good.
Conclusion
Beside the absolutely unacceptable Android 6.0 OS, with the trashing FlymeOS Add ons and the dangerous Trojans, the device hardware
is acceptable. For the ones looking for a cheap 5"-Phone with low weight (158gr), replaceable battery and full metal frame you may like the device.
But you need to root, clean up and debloat the device first - you will be warned using the device with stock ROM V303!
This is even worse than what happened on LEAGOO devices a while ago, unbelievable.

Yes. it is really perfidious from the ROM provider, that they integrated the Trojan hidden into the ROM.
By embedding itself into the ibandroid_runtime.so system library specifically, the malware makes
its way into the memory of all installed applications and relies on Zygote for initialization.
The main function of Android.Triada.231 is to secretly run additional malicious modules that can download other Trojan components.
Dr Web doesn’t go so far as saying that the manufacturers themselves are responsible for the malware being planted on the Android smartphones,
but instead points the finger of suspicion at “insiders or unscrupulous partners.”

This is what happens when companies rely on low-quality and low-cost software engineering teams.
Thankfully with the new Google policies the probability of getting an infected device should be lower since Google Apps will be allowed to run only on GMS certified devices (no more unofficial Google apps), thus the software should be safer to use since it must pass all CTS tests and so on.

But does it root?
Can this be rooted??
Doogee S70 / Doogee S80
I know some of you aren't too enthusiastic about Doogee's products but after 1 year using the Y7 Plus, I can't complain about my device, except for the camera quality - especially at low-light it's a real pain in the "bottom". However, never having to worry about low battery levels during the day, is a luxury I'd never do without anymore.
The Doogee S80 - and the S70 - have got a camera sensor and a chipset which are both well above average. (and I'm not even talking about the huge battery)
Camera sensor: IMX363
Chipset: Helio P23
What do I need to do to get the best out of it? Is there any dedicated ROM? Any dedicated gcam or some other camera app?
I hope there's enough devoted Doogee devs and users left, to help us out!
Doogee S70 / Doogee S80
No reactions yet? Are these phones that impopular?
I've been spending every second of my spare time in the last weeks, reading as much as I could find about these (and several other) phones. FYI, it seems that installing Open Camera improves the photo quality a lot. I hope that this info could maybe be useful to some of the users. Too bad Doogee didn't put more attention into its camera software.
I'm still not convinced enough to buy them tho, so is there still no-one who has some good news about any GCAM port for the Doogee IMX363 camera phones?
My main concerns for a new phone are a large battery (for professional reasons, I'm using my phone's GPS constantly) and quality (very) low-light pictures - again for the job.

I know it's been awhile but I'll answer you. Does it root? Barely. I got one about a year and a half ago, maybe two years. Long story short after loads of research, (once I unlocked the bootloader as always in fastboot) I finally found there was a magisk method that required using specific releases only along with a custom magisk update channel. (For mtk devices) this method still doesn't technically root it either I have to use another script before the su manager is functional (luckily someone packaged it into an apk later, but originality it was an init setup) there is no official custom recovery. There are some unofficial twrp but only one of them work and it can't decrypt the storage no matter what .. so .. it sort of Roots? Also like any and every rugged phone I've ever had, it didn't take long before the protective rubber started peeling off ..
Yup,

"9to5Google can report today that Google’s original plan was to launch the Pixel 6 Pro with face unlock, but the feature was pulled relatively close to launch."
According to sources familiar with the matter, Google intended to announce the Pixel 6 Pro with support for face unlock to complement the under-display fingerprint sensor. The capability was only meant for the larger flagship and not the smaller Pixel 6, which collaborates something we previously speculated based on code.
The hardware difference between the two phones is an 11.1MP front-facing camera with 94 degree “ultrawide” field of view on the 6 Pro compared to 8MP and 84 degrees on the $599 Pixel 6. Otherwise, there’s no dedicated hardware (IR cameras, dot projector, or flood illuminator) as was seen on the Pixel 4 in 2019. There’s nothing like Soli radar to speed up the unlocking process either.
Google is presumably relying solely on what’s captured by that selfie camera to authenticate that it’s you. This has always seemed like the more Google-y approach, which is primarily using software to tackle difficult problems. It was also something that the Android Ice Cream Sandwich-powered Galaxy Nexus leveraged.
There have hopefully been marked processing and accuracy advancements in the past 11 years, especially with the presence of dedicated hardware like Tensor. For example, Google touts its chip as allowing for faster, more accurate face detection – in photography contexts – due to integrated subsystems, while consuming half the power compared to a Pixel 5.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The relatively last-minute decision to pull face unlock is reflected in how early and launch-day marketing material referenced the capability. This included a German print ad (though that mistakenly claimed it was for the entry Pixel 6) and one UK-carrier launch page that showed “Face and Fingerprint Unlock” in a live image of Android 12’s Security Hub. That reference — as well as one in a Play Store listing screenshot — was later pulled. Since then, there have been additional straggling references to the capability on actual Pixel 6 Pro devices.
One of the sources told us that Google is still working to add face unlock to the Pixel 6 Pro, and that it’s targeted for the next major quarterly Android update, though plans might still change.
If that is indeed still the plan, it’s quite interesting for Google to update the Pixel 6 Pro with a major new feature so close to the end of its annual product cycle. It will definitely be a welcome addition for current owners and those who continue to have qualms about the fingerprint reader. Meanwhile, this method of face unlock will presumably be a staple on future Pixel devices going forward.

I bet this phone will be awesome... Next year . Seriously face unlock would be a big plus and looking forward to it
A front-camera only face unlock?
Hope they give a huge disclaimer saying it's the least secure
