The current Smart Stay features uses the phone’s front camera to control the amount of light being displayed on the phone. It brightens or dims the phone, based on whether the user is still reading text from it. According to some new reports, this feature would now be enhanced to scroll text on the screen as well.

Some media reports had also claimed that the phone company had filed for patents in regards to an eye scrolling technology earlier this year. The new feature was allegedly called Eye Scroll. If this were true, it would appear that Samsung has managed to develop a potentially groundbreaking electronics.

The Galaxy S4 will be based around a quad-core processor, rather than an eight-core one.
