One of those is it can’t work well in strong light condition. It’s so annoying when you are outside and want to unlock your phone, but the Iris can’t recognise you. In this condition, Iris scanner on Lumia 950 XL works better than Iris scanner on Galaxy Note 7, but it still takes a long time in processing, about 5-6s.
