And suddenly he appeared. When nobody expected or imagined him, the lights lit up his gray shirt, his worn jeans and her teenage eternal smile. There was Mark Zuckerberg at the launch of the new phone Samsung Galaxy S7, like other high-end phones that were shown yesterday in Barcelona, included as an accessory a camera taking pictures and videos at 360 degrees easily and with pretty good quality .Material that can be quickly shared via social networks such as Facebook, Youtube or Google Street View. And it can also be seen as an experience of virtual reality helmets or special telescope. There was Zuckerberg (CEO and founder of Facebook), supporting this new trend in mobile telephony. He appeared on the scene and uhhh ... widespread in the grocery Convention Center where the presentation was heard.
The unexpected presence of Zuckerberg was interpreted here as the beginning of a sort of alliance between Facebook (social networking) and Samsung (handset maker). A union that could be very powerful, given the enormous importance today are having social networks in the mobile world and the profound changes that drive social networks.
But before there were two presentations stirred up the attention of the press who came to Barcelona to cover the Mobile World Congress which starts today and runs until Thursday. The Korean Samsung and LG showed their high-end mobile, two of the most anticipated in this exhibition for technology and that set trends in the industry along with Apple iPhone (which does not come to this type of exposure) and other equipment brands looking to position itself, but it costs them.
Samsung Galaxy S7 showed that in addition to the photos 360, comes with a new feature that lets always on screen (can display the time or calendar) and a cooling system that uses water. Yes, a tiny passage through which water that cools the chips that are increasingly powerful, but hotter.
The new S7 will come in two versions. Classical 5.1 inches, and the Edge (with curved screen) 5.5 ". The design of this latest model is modified with respect to the S6: it is now curved top, bottom and one side, so you have "grip" the company said.
The S7 also has a lens that lets you take pictures of high quality, with a focus at high speed and in all lighting conditions. In addition, it is resistant to water and dust. According to engineers Samsung, you can be submerged to 1.5 meters for half an hour.
In the morning, LG showed the new G5, which caused very good impression among connoisseurs. Like the S7 it comes with a camera system and software tied to 360 virtual reality glasses and screen "always on".
He also has a modular design that allows you, for example, removal and replacement of a battery like an old "cassette". Or there include other accessories such as one that enhances the camera, which extends the battery and has a shutter button and a wheel to zoom- or an audio system HD.
LG this time put emphasis on design. He left the plastic and leather casings, and replaced by a single piece of metal, rather showy. It also comes with two rear lenses, which allows you to take photos up to 135 degrees, wider than the human eye covers, experts from LG.
There was also news from the US China's Huawei and Alcatel, who presented the Idol 4 which, in keeping with trends and how could it be otherwise, comes with virtual reality glasses. Everything is to compete with Apple, which is well planted with iPhone 6S and, for now, no plans to introduce a new high-end cell phone.
