Galaxy S7: 17 hours of video playback?

One of the most interesting features of the Galaxy S7 is also that which still resisted the rumor: autonomy. It is well known recently that the battery will undoubtedly with a capacity of 3500 mAh, but no more.

At coire in the blogger Eldar Murtazin, which has been the source of many rumors that proved true, we can expect a battery life for the Galaxy S7. The unit should indeed be able to read the video for 17 hours with brightness to the max!

Obviously this sounds too good to be true, when you know for example that the Galaxy S6 bed 13 hours of video under comparable conditions - this generation embeds a 2550 mAh battery, then it is not impossible that his successor is able such a feat.

Remember that the Galaxy S7 could be presented during the MWC in Barcelona. It should include Super AMOLED 5.2 inches and 5.5 inches for the Edge (1440 x 2560 for the two slabs). The device is powered by a Snapdragon processor Exynos 8890 or 820 depending on the version, 4GB of RAM, 16, 32 or 64 GB of memory, a 20 megapixel camera (same as on the Z5), a front camera of 8 megapixel.

HTC Perfume: the smartphone that feels good

HTC has in his files a new high-end smartphone called internally Perfume, but should take the M10 name once the shelves of retailers.

The machine impresses with the datasheet accessed by the site VentureBeat. The unit ticks all the boxes of premium smartphone: 5.1-inch AMOLED screen qHD (1440 x 2560), 820 Snapdragon processor with Adreno 530 GPU, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage with a microSD slot, a sensor fingerprint, all under Android 6.0.1 with Sense overlay (8.0).

But the most interesting aspect certainly is the comeback of UltraPixel technology. Inaugurated in 2013 with the One M7, without giving results as expected; M9 has it embedded a more traditional 20-megapixel sensor. But for the M10, HTC has revised the number of megapixels: 4 for the M8, it will rise to 12 for Perfume. Hopefully, the manufacturer has also improved algorithms pictures ... We should also find a laser autofocus and optical stabilization in the rear as in the front.

By cons, it will mourn the Boomsound audio signature, which would not be present on the future device ... The M10 will probably not presented during the MWC in late February. We certainly hear talk again.
