Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to get a retina scanner?

Samsung is looking to one up its competition once again by introducing a new security feature: a retina scanner. Samsung Exynos tweeted something about improving security for the future and showed an image of a retina being scanned by a phone with the words “Unlock the future.” This may or may not make its way into the Galaxy Note 4 and it would be interesting to see how this feature might fair in real-life situations. We're curious, would you want a retina scanner on your device?

Security can be improved using features unique to us. That's what we envision. What would you use? #ExynosTomorrow pic.twitter.com/KLgQ1q9GkP

Shazam now lets you stream full tracks from Rdio within the app

If you’ve wanted to listen to a full track on Shazam, then you can now do that with the help of Rdio. A recent update will let you playback an entire song using Rdio’s library. The catch is you have to have a Rdio subscription. If you do, you just need to link the two apps and you are good to go. The tracks you “Shazamed” will be sorted into its own playlist and there will also be an “Add to Playlist” button to put the song into your playlist of choice. The update is already available for iOS devices and will come to Android in the following days.

Some PS4 users can already pre-load ‘Destiny’ Beta

While the beta of Bungie’s Destiny was expected to drop on July 17, it would seem some users are already able to pre-load the game. The 14.3GB beta download is said to be available to people who pre-ordered the game digitally with those who ordered it from the EU PSN Store being able to pre-load the game. However, this doesn’t mean gamers have an early peek into the game. An error message still shows up when users try to play the game. It does, however, save time for people who don’t have to download the beta when it drops on the 17^th.
