As always Samsung has made it big . For the presentation of its new top of the range, the Galaxy S7 even in supercurva version, S7 edge staged an authentic multimedia show . Studded, of course, by its Gear VR , the mask for the virtual reality that functions as a display using one of its flagship phones. It has distributed about five event for the press organized the international center for conferences beyond Barceloneta, stormed like a championship derby.
To set the tone of the evening was DJ Koh , head of the mobile division, retracing the history of the South Korean giant of fundamental innovations and momentous steps for communication. The new smartphone will not detach themselves too much from the previous S6 and S6 edge, which in any case under that profile were already impressed a year ago in their glass and metal body, it has the same sleek design. If anything, they differ a bit ‘more of each other, aiming to target somewhat different, in other elements. The first, the Galaxy S7 features a display 5.1 inch (577ppi pixel density), the curved one brother screen from 5.5 Dual Edge , both weigh just more than a pound and a half. Other differences: the smallest model shows off a battery from 3,000 mAh , the largest 3,600 mAh , a substantial jump. They are of course equipped with the operating system Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
In terms of other features, however, the devices they travel in pairs: 4GB of RAM , memory denominations of 32 or 64 GB (128 GB nothing but return the slot to use a microSD card) the display, in constituent terms, is a Super AMOLED qHD (resolution 2560×1440) in either case, the processor is a octacore Exynos 8890 in two parts , that is, with a heart with a 2.3 GHz frequency. There is also a version that mounts Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core. As for the cameras down the resolution of the rear (12 megapixels), but change profoundly the photographic technology that is now based on a Dual Pixel sensor full of secrets, new lenses and longer focal opening (f / 1.7, the same of the front 5 Mpixel) to gather more light in the most diverse situations. So many goodies including Motion Panorama, for shooting animated panoramic pictures.
As for the rest, the smartphone returns waterproof , features an Always On feature to make the most Super Amoled display that distills notifications and information unabated and has a first-rate connectivity kit, from Bluetooth 4.2 to the reader of fingerprints or the sensor for the heartbeat. Available in Italy from March 11 to 729 and 829 euro . With pre-order is included for free a Gear VR sensor. Speaking of money: Samsung Pay, the payment system set up by Koreans, it expands into new countries. Not to Italy.
But the surprises came at the end. Also at the Samsung event it has in fact also presented Gear 360 , a room that can run video 360 degrees to create, watch and share Content immersive , accessible via the Gear VR viewer, especially on the road, group events such as parties or concerts or perhaps to the jetties under cover, not too lively. Suddenly he came out also Mark Zuckerberg , founder and CEO of Facebook, which on virtual reality, as is known, aims a lot: ‘ This is the new reference platform, will live there, we will work or notify “said Zuck. In substance, has strengthened and renewed the agreement between his Oculus, he bought two years ago, and Samsung. “Videos are already the fundamental content: those 360 degrees are more engaging, our community loves them, a million people watch them every day on Facebook.” Will be born in the coming weeks so the Social VR Apps , that begins to take shape a world of things to do and see with viewers, games and applications to be tested directly on the social network most populous in the world.
Back to the room, mounts two opposing fisheye lenses , both with 15-megapixel sensors, able to film clips with 3840×1920 resolution (the focal opening and 2.0). But you can also make videos and images with 180 degree angles. Course work in pairs with a Samsung smartphone (S7, S7 edge, SG +, Note 5, S6 and S6 edge) covering the director’s role with a preview of what was filmed, autosave, and the setting of another series of parameters. The inspiration is apparent and the intervention of Zuckerberg was not coincidental: begin with – or at least try – to involve deep into the ecosystem users of virtual reality , making them the protagonists in content production.
