itel Mobile, one of the latest entrant to the Indian smartphone market has launched it1520, its latest selfie-focused smartphone with a 13-megapixel camera. Even though the company says that it has an Iris scanner, looking at the images it doesn’t seem like it has a dedicated iris scanner like the Samsung Galaxy Note7 for biometric unlocking. The smartphone will likely use the 13-megapixel front-facing camera to scan the patterns in the eye, offering password-free unlocking solution. This is used in ZTE phones.
It also has a 13-megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash, 5-inch HD On-cell display, is powered by a quad-core processor, runs on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and has 4G VoLTE support.
