It takes an infrared picture of your iris. The IR light can pass easily through sunglasses while visible light is dimmed and UV is blocked.

LUCKY YOU!!! My Note 7 did this, and it would open so fast I thought it wasn't even set right. It would read in the dark, whith my sunglasses, glasses and contacts. I can't even get S8+ to even read my bare naked pupils oh well, fingerprint scanner is OK.

I wear contacts with my Note 7 if I set it up with my contacts in, it wouldn't read my iris when I didn't have my contacts in.

I'm using facial precondition now and it works fast except when it's dark it doesn't want to work.

My prescription glasses darken in the sun, and I've noticed the same. Very cool. It also works in a dark room. Magic.
