The rise and fall of the stock market is mysterious, and the changes in the technology world are also rapid changes. IBM, Microsoft, and Samsung have all led the way, but their status has been challenged. Samsung's flagship model Gestapo series has been unlimited, and under the attack of the domestic "Citi Little Sister" camp and the iPhone, sales have not been as good as before. In order to win back everything that has been lost, Samsung's "Gestapo" series is brewing a counterattack.
As the topmost of the entire mobile phone supply chain, Samsung's independent research and development of CPUs, cameras, screens and other parts are the best technical indicators in the Android camp. Its next-generation flagship model, the Samsung S7, also continues this "tough" style, going farther and farther down the road of stacking hardware.
The camera is really good
Samsung's most commendable thing is probably the photographic effect, in the authoritative photography website dxomark ranking, galaxy s6 edge ranked second, it was not long ago surpassed by the latest Sony z5. As for the iPhone, the overall score of the latest generation is 82, which makes it the tenth, and the score of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is also 82, far behind the Nexus 6P, Z5, Galaxy S6 Edge and other Android flagships.
Many fruit powders may be unconvinced, but this is indeed true. In the test last September, the iPhone ranked first. A year later, the latest iPhone6s have regressed in camera capabilities. According to expert reactions, it mainly includes some visible luminance noise, partially visible color difference in indoor environments, and slight macula in outdoor environments.
Samsung is determined to continue to extend its lead, and its next-generation cameras have surfaced. First of all, this cargo is very thin and light, the new sensor height is reduced by 20%, the thickness of the camera module does not exceed 5 mm, such a thickness can make the parts completely placed inside the fuselage, there will be no protrusions on the surface of the casing, preventing wear.
In terms of image quality, the camera of the S7 is not an RGB tri-color combination, but replaces green with white to form a WRB pattern, which seems to be Samsung's originality. From the actual effect, its performance is indeed much better than rgb, the restoration of color is very real, and there is rarely a phenomenon of deceptive color. The focusing speed has also been greatly improved, and the camera integration of the new machine is integrated with pdaf, which has been widely adopted by Sony before.
Performance explosion
Samsung will pair the S7 with a self-developed exynos 8890 processor, which uses a 14nm finfet manufacturing process to further reduce heat generation. More importantly, Samsung uses its own architecture design in the chip, rather than using the arm public version. In the 4+4 layout, 4 are autonomous architecture cores and 4 are public cortex a53 cores. What is even more surprising is its graphics processing chip, which integrates 12 mali-t880 cores, which is three times the number of Huawei Kirin 950, which shows the strength of its graphics performance.
In the actual running score, exynos 8890 with 7400 in the multi-threaded test of the crowd, while MediaTek mt6797 (6500 points), Huawei Kirin 950 (6400 points), Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (5300 points) and Apple a9 (4436 points) are ranked 2 to 5, which is also the highest score that can be obtained on mobile phones at present. With such powerful performance, dealing with Android and the upcoming Windows 10 is not a problem at all.
Curved screen + 3d touch
As the originator of curved screens, Samsung S7 and S6 also have versions of curved screens. In addition, Apple's proud 3D touch will also log in, and the s7 will be able to achieve different functions through different operations on the smartphone screen, such as variable speed sliding, unlocking the screen, controlling the game, etc.
Samsung partnered with synaptics, a well-known touch technology manufacturer, to equip the galaxy s7 with the company's newly developed clearforce pressure-sensitive screen touch technology. Previously, Huawei launched the first smartphone mate s that supports this technology, which uses synaptics' 3700 series technology to achieve identification by different pressure levels.
After the release of Huawei mate s, synaptics further optimized its technology, from the current official information, it supports richer operation methods than Apple 3D touch, including: variable speed agitation, picture zoom and panning, function preview and selection, continuous variable game control, unlock and wake, right mouse click behavior (open context menu), drawing stroke thickness control (Chinese characters and artwork), image brightness/contrast/saturation editing, capitalization lock and symbol selection (Bypass keyboard).
The flagship machine war will undoubtedly be upgraded next year, the iPhone has taken away 80% of the profits of the smart phone, and Samsung wants to return to the peak, I am afraid it will take a while of effort.
