Windows Hello via Iris recognition is a pretty unique feature of Microsoft’s new 950 and 950 XL flagships, but it seems it may be coming to more handsets than we expect.

According to Microsoft’s pages which introduce Windows 10, we can expect to see it soon on more Windows 10 devices, with Microsoft writing:

The Lumia 950 and 950 XL are ready to use Windows Hello now, and more devices that have iris recognition are coming soon.

Unlike the Lumia 950 range we don’t know too much about Microsoft’s future roadmap, but that device could be the rather low end Lumia 650, or possibly the much vaunted Surface Phone still on the way.

Either way its good news that the Lumia 950 and 550 range will not be it for the next 12 months, despite Microsoft’s stated intent to trim their range to only very few devices.
