Since the Note 9 has an Infrared iris scanner, I am wondering if there is an app that can use the scanner with visual, like a camera or night vision. Off course small distances, just for fun.
Something like this on the Poco F1

I've been lookig for something like this since the s8, and I havn't found anything

That was custom done by a dev or app maker who has the Pocofone...
You could always ask them to hep but as they don't own the Note they probably won't do it all...

Can the IR emitting light that's built for the iris function be used by apps like the Note 4 IR blaster could? (Specifically I'd like to know if we can use the Note 7 with Galaxy Universal Remote "
Isn't it the same type of light, and isn't it the same technology?
Is there an IR hardware quasi-expert that can weigh in on this?
No expert here. But sounds like a slim chance. "No IR blaster, sorry": http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note7-review-1478p2.php under "Unboxing... "
But by all means let us know if anyone learns otherwise. IR blaster is the only reason I'm not upgrading... I use it too much on my N3
it has an IR light emitter for the iris scanner camera. But i tried the app (galaxy universal remote) today and it said this device has no IR blaster.

It's likely not going to happen. Just get the harmony hub and use wifi to send it a signal, which has an app for your phone, if it's for your home or business. Otherwise, RIP ir blaster; I know this is not the news you want to hear but sadly it's the one people will get :|

Hi, use ir blaster for iphone end zazaremote, it works perfectly
Hi All,
I've bought both the Xiaomi Mi5s (miui 8 global) and the OnePlus 3T (oxygen OS 4.03 Android 7) and am trialling both for a few before I send the loser (if you could possibly call one of these great phones a loser) back. I'm finding it very difficult to chose.
Either phone is a huge upgrade from my previous and very safe and stable iPhone 5s. I hope you can help me resolve my conundrum.
My thoughts so far on the comparison:
Software and interfaces:
Both phones have great software but for me the xiaomi swings it on being more customisable in terms of the interface, being able to easily change themes. As nice as changing themes is however, a lot of the themes are like those Kodi skins with weird phrases like "seize the moment" plastered on the home screen. It is a nice to have though and some of them have added some clever navigation features for app sidetray access.
It has a couple of other features that are nice to haves like 'force touch' and recording calls as a standard option but both of these features I would rarely use and can live without. Miuis second space feature is a bit surplus to requirements considering fingerprint locking is all you need for security I'm not sure why I'd need to hide apps etc on another part of the phone, I also found it a bit slow to switch spaces.
Hardware:
Here the OnePlus wins, more ram more speed, not that noticeable in day to day operations but the fingerprint sensor on the Xiaomi has been disappointing, even after rescanning my thumb a couple of times it still either fails to unlock or takes a long time to unlock. The OnePlus 3T is super quick on the fingerprint unlock like the speed of light and very reliable for me. Screen sizes on both are nice, I prefer the larger OnePlus though. I would also say the microphone sensitivity on the OnePlus 3T is better in picking up the "OK google" commands. Both seem to be quite quiet on phone calls with the earphones plugged in, if you make regular conference calls this is quite annoying and there are lots of complaints on the xiaomi forums regarding this for the global rom.
Camera:
This is where the big let down is on the 3T and probably the reason I am still hanging on to the xiaomi . Despite impressive specs on paper I've found shots low in detail compared to the Xiaomi and poor when shooting moving objects. Low light performance is not great on both but overall I feel the Xiaomi Mi5s is the better camera. Video recording I can't comment, both seem to very similar. I'm not a huge photographer and don't post lots of pictures to social media so maybe I can live without it. I'm hoping something can be done with the OP3T camera to resolve some of the above issues.
Athetics and buttons etc:
I like the feel of the OP3T better but the Xiaomi is easier to hold on accounts of is size.
Anyway I hope you can help me with some thoughts here, would love to keep both but I ain't that rich, ideally I'd merge the two but it just can't happen.
No offense but starting your review (and the software aspect) talking about themes is ..... meh.

OK so maybe you could suggest what's more important for you personally? Am I too hung up on the themes aspect?
Xiaomi Mi5s has a rear camera sensor with 1.55 um pixels (IMX 378 - As in the G Pixel), yet low light performance is not great? How come?
"Despite impressive camera specs on paper for 3T" - The Mi5S has more impressive specs on paper.
Because sensor is not everything my friend
Just got my Samsung galaxy s8, the heart rate and SpO2 sensor is quite an amazing feature and Samsung FIT can detect quit a lot of stat. Just wonder, if there any more application using those sensors? I just thinking if we can use those sensor, check every half hour, then it can know my calories in take and consume, and also when I do exercise, and suggest better exercise plan for me?
This one uses heart rate sensor

Also works on Android Wear

Interesting, it say it support my old HTC 10 but not Galaxy S8
Can confirm it working on my S8. Got myself a Tickwatch E and works well in that also.
Now I'm looking for some app to use actual SpO2 sensor. Wrote to that developer to see if he / she is willing to upgrade their game, I'd buy it even if it was in app purchase.
Samsung Health is just too heavy on the system and there are better combos out there
I was wondering if anyone tried the Note 10+ 3D Scanner app on their A9 (2018) since they seem to have the same depth sensor (only thing missing is IR blaster but I’m guessing that just increases range) and if so did it work or do you know of any other app that can access the A9’s depth sensor data and visualize it as 3D please?
TIA

So, no one, how about A80's, depth camera with projector, does it do 3D scanning?
So since the OnePlus 9 pro came out I couldn't but notice that the main/selfie camera is the same as our "beloved" 8 pro but if I understood correctly that hasselblad tweaked the 9 pro's camera app. Or was it just the glass?
Anywho is there any difference between the OnePlus 9 pro's camera app and our 8 pro?
I personally do not know. However, I do not believe that they will ever make anything good again. Who the heck needs or wants a frant facing camera, anyway? I mean are we 13-16 year old girls trying to get as many STD's as we can before we hit the wall?
Well personally I love a good front facing camera especially with a wide angle one with a good aperture but that will never happen....
After seeing what op9p has to offer I think OnePlus has lost its touch and my experience with the op8p isn't helping either..
Is anyone working on a port of the APK?
I don't think the hardware is anything to do with the company they collaborated with, so if it's software then it could be portable?
Maybe
