Another round of Sumsung vs Apple is coming up. So we all know who won the last round. But what is different this time? One article I read displays many things the new Apple iPhone 7 and 7Plus don’t have. Samsung has it…Apple doesn’t. Does it matter?
So the first two things that come to mind are the wraparound screen and video enhancer. This screen takes up so much space it literally wraps around the edges. Now, that could be a good thing or bad thing. But this should give Samsung 8 40% more screen than Apple 7. Then there’s the video enhancer. This makes your smartphone videos brighter.
But what struck me is the eye and facial recognition. You can literally unlock your Samsung Galaxy 8 screen with your eyes. Just hold it 10 inches or less to your face. Also, you can unlock it with your face. Furthermore, they brag about battery use. The Samsung people say this battery will hold 95% of it’s charging power a year from now. In layman’s terms, your battery will be almost as powerful as it is now. Voice control is very popular these days. So Samsung introduces Bixby. They say Bixby is the smartest voice yet because it processes bigger commands. There are other differences, but these are the ones that caught my eye. Samsung has it…Apple doesn’t.
I’m sorry, but the eye and face recognition scares me. If you have this recognition, who else has it? You know they do at the airport, or they’re at least trying to get it. I’m not a big fan of this new screen, either. Sure, you can see 40% more. But will you able to see everything, or is this screen so big you’ll miss something? I hope Samsung Galaxy 8 does well. In our Boston computer service shop, we’re just as anxious We all remember what happened to them last year. Will it matter if Samsung has it…Apple doesn’t?
