Galaxy S7 has ice water in its veins !
Samsung wants mobile gaming to feel much like desktop gaming as possible, and with the Galaxy S7 it's pushing to deliver on that mission.
But there's saying "we take games seriously" and then there's delivering meaningful features that make a real difference to what people want to do when playing games. The good news is that in the Galaxy S7 , launched at the mobile world congress here in Barcelona , Samsung has integrated deep hardware and software tools back up the claim.
Games push processors harder that anything else , so the first big upgrade from Samsung is water cooling like you'd find in a serious desktop gaming system . Obviously the scale is miniature compared to desktop water cooling, but the sealed copper cooling system will still do its best to shift excess heat away from the S7's processor when games push things to the phone's thermal limits.
The galaxy S7 lets you adapt game settings to balance how good your games look against your battery life.
In other low level updates ,the S7 also supports the Vulkan API for game development. You don't need to care about the details , but what it means is that many new games are coming soon to take better advantage of modern multicore processors . The S7 is ready to support these games , and when they arrive they should look and play much better than almost anything you've seen on Android before.
Samsung needs the Galaxy S7 to reignite consumer's interest in its phones. Although it remains top dog in mobile , it's not biting off as much of that market as it used to :
About 23% of all smartphones shipped last year came from Samsung , down from 25% percent in 2014 and 31% in the year before.Consumers aren't rushing the way they once did to acquire new phones , and when they do upgrade, they're increasingly opting for cheaper devices from companies like Huawei and Xiaomi .
A new "no alerts" mode means launching a game to suppress all notification pop ups so you can play uninterrupted. Anyone who has ever has a high score ruined by a rogue calendar reminder will love this. You can also lock the recent and back keys so your cant accidentally bump something and knock yourself out of a game.
YouTube lets play videos of console and desktop games are a huge industry now and Samsung is also making it easy to record mobile gameplay on the S7. Launching game recording will also trigger the front camera so your can commentate over the top of your gameplay with a picture in picture mode.
Finally Samsung also offers the ability to tweak graphics performance between three setting so you can dial things back a little if you want to put battery life ahead of gameplay. The standard setting will run games at maximum resolution and at 60 frames per second.
These features are all launched from a new "game tools" icon that can lurk inconspicuously at the edge of your screen during game play so taking screenshots, recording videos or tweaking settings are all just a tap away !
#Peace
