Submission + - Samsung Unpacks Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge And Gear 360 VR Camera At MWC2016 (hothardware.com)

Submitted by MojoKid
MojoKid writes: Samsung held their annual Unpacked event at Mobile World Congress today and have officially unveiled their next generation Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones. The Galaxy S7 sports a 5.1-inch QHD Super AMOLED display with a 2560x1440 resolution (577 ppi), while the Galaxy S7 Edge wields a larger 5.5-inch dual-edge screen with the same resolution (534 ppi). Among the new features are the company's always-on Super AMOLED display technology. When you pull the Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge out of your pants pocket or purse, you'll be able to peek at basic information like the time, calendar, or notifications without touching or waking the display. Both devices also feature rear "Dual Pixel" 12MP cameras with optical image stabilization. Using dual-photodiode technology, this is an alternative to phase-detection auto-focus, one that's supposed to work faster and better. Samsung also claims the new rear shooter on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge captures 95 percent more light through a wider F1.7 lens. Compared to Apple's iPhone 6s, Samsung is promising brighter and sharper images, particularly in low light situations. Both are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM. There's also 32GB of internal storage, now expandable via microSD along with 802.11ac MU-MIMI Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC support, fast wireless charging capability, a 3,000 mAh (Galaxy S7) or 3,600 mAh (Galaxy S7 Edge) battery that's not removable and Android 6 Marshmallow. All of this comes wrapped in a water-resistant and dust-resistant design (both devices) with IP68 certification that will withstand total submersion for 30 minutes. The company also announced a new Gear 360 VR video camera and a partnership with Facebook-Oculus. The Gear 360 sports dual fisheye lenses each with high resolution 15MP CMOS image sensors capable of capturing 360-degree video at 3840x1920. It can also shoot 30-megapixel (7776x3888) still images. When the Gear 360 is synced to a compatible Galaxy phone, you can preview footage in real-time using the phone as a remote. Samsung also apparently has the attention of Mark Zuckerberg, who was a surprise on-stage guest at the Galaxy Unpacked event as well.

This is likely to prepare for full Open SSH server/client integration, which is already underway over on github. It looks like xterm is finally coming to Windows.

OpenSSH was previously announced last year by the very forward looking PowerShell team: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.c...
