Flagship devices Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus have been made available on the market and boast top-notch specifications and quality. One of the main focuses on this release has definitely got to be the ‘’infinity screen’’ which runs from edge to edge and as such it reduces the bezels.
Surprisingly, headlines seem to focus quite a lot on the Galaxy S8 despite the fact that there are two handsets that have been launched. Differences come both as obvious and some as not so obvious. One of the main things is the larger screen on the S8 plus and a price of about 100$ extra.
Galaxy S8’s digital assistant
Samsung has seen fit to put a lot of the S8’s marketing coverage on the power of its digital assistant, named Bixby. It features a built in dedicated button on the device and pressing the button will activate the assistant which will start listening to your voice commands and begin executing them.
Users have specified that its able to do everything that the user could do with the touch. While this feature will be available initially only to Samsung apps, it is being considered by Samsung to try and get third-party developers to help integrate their applications into Bixby.
Bix can use the camera in order to recognize objects in front of the device and retrieve information on it and afterwards can connect the user to various sellers of said objects, review websites and pricing information for online orders. It will also be able to connect the users to services like Amazon and also features a home screen personalized for Bixby that will show you recommended content such as videos on Youtube.
Google Pixel Camera
Google Pixel has been lifted in the top of the charts in the way that it has received image reviews and Google is very proud of this camera software. It has arisen as part of the Google Glass project and the development team has said that their mission was to improve the quality of photography on mobile devices by integrating computational photography techniques.
The solution for this seems to have been a so called image fusion, which took a very fast sequences of shots and then used then had them fused together to create a single, high quality image. This technique has allowed the team to render badly-lit scenes in higher detail and help improve the quality of mixed lit scenes. Overall, making the pictures much more brighter and sharper.
