63-585: The Galaxy S7 is an evolution of the prior year's model, with upgraded hardware, design refinements, and the restoration of features removed from the Galaxy S6, such as IP certification for water and dust resistance, as well as expandable storage with a MicroSD card. Succeeding the S6 and S6 Edge+, respectively, the S7 is produced in a standard model with a display size of 5.1-inch (130 mm) as well as an Edge variant whose display

126-468: A microSD card, inserted using the SIM tray built into the phone (with dual SIM models utilizing the shared second SIM slot as an option if you want to use either 2 SIM cards at the same time, or just a single SIM card alongside a microSD card). The Galaxy S7 devices include a USB OTG adapter in the box. It can be used either as a regular adapter to attach USB devices (like flash drives, wired peripherals or

189-648: A beauty salon in Antipolo City, Rizal, Philippines. Samsung said they were investigating the incident. The Galaxy S7 is the first Galaxy S model on which the device's hardware is essentially identical across all of the US variants. As such, all variants were assigned the same device ID (A3LSMG930US) by the FCC . The only differences between US variants is in software/firmware and some minor external branding. IP Code The IP code or ingress protection code indicates how well

252-471: A cellular phone rated at IP67 is "dust resistant" and can be "immersed in 1 meter of freshwater for up to 30 minutes". Similarly, an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. IP22 or IP2X are typical minimum requirements for the design of electrical accessories for indoor use. The digits indicate conformity with

315-817: A device is protected against water and dust. It is defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission  (IEC) under the international standard IEC 60529 which classifies and provides a guideline to the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against intrusion, dust , accidental contact, and water . It is published in the European Union by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization  (CENELEC) as EN 60529. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof . For example,

378-499: A distance of 0.15–0.2 meters (5.9 in – 7.9 in). The specific requirements for the test nozzle are shown in figures 7, 8, & 9 of IEC (or EN) 60529. This test is identified as IPx9 in IEC 60529. Water volume: 14–16 liters per minute (0.051–0.059 impgal/s) Pressure: 8–10 MPa (80–100 bar) at distance of 0.10–0.15 meters (3.9 in – 5.9 in) Water temperature: 80 °C (176 °F) (All tests with

441-674: A door open and walking out into the street would appear to start off in slow motion, but in a few seconds later within the same shot the person would appear to walk in "realtime" (everyday speed). The opposite speed-ramping is done in The Matrix when Neo re-enters the Matrix for the first time to see the Oracle. As he comes out of the warehouse "load-point", the camera zooms into Neo at normal speed but as it gets closer to Neo's face, time seems to slow down, perhaps visually accentuating Neo pausing and reflecting

504-448: A moisture sensor. When it detects moisture inside the USB port, wired charging is deactivated to prevent damage to the equipment. All three models (S7, S7 Edge & S7 Active) have larger batteries in comparison to the S6, with 3000 mAh, 3600 mAh & 4000 mAh capacity respectively and support for AirFuel Inductive (formerly PMA) and Qi wireless charging standards; however,

567-423: A moment in time. Vsevolod Pudovkin , for instance, used slow motion in a suicide scene in his 1933 film The Deserter , in which a man jumping into a river seems sucked down by the slowly splashing waves. Another example is Face/Off , in which John Woo used the same technique in the movements of a flock of flying pigeons . The Matrix made a distinct success in applying the effect into action scenes through

630-648: A moment, and perhaps alluding to future manipulation of time itself within the Matrix later on in the movie. Slow-motion is widely used in sport broadcasting and its origins in this domain extend back to the earliest days of television, one example being the European Heavyweight Title in 1939 where Max Schmeling knocked out Adolf Heuser in 71 seconds. In instant replays , slow motion reviews are now commonly used to show in detail some action ( photo finish , goal , ...). Generally, they are made with video servers and special controllers. The first TV slo-mo

693-400: A more sophisticated technique that uses specialized equipment to record fast phenomena, usually for scientific applications . Slow motion is ubiquitous in modern filmmaking. It is used by a diverse range of directors to achieve diverse effects. Some classic subjects of slow-motion include: Slow motion can also be used for artistic effect, to create a romantic or suspenseful aura or to stress

756-428: A short dissolve between still frames). Many complicated algorithms exist that can track motion between frames and generate intermediate frames within that scene. It is similar to half-speed, and is not true slow-motion but merely a longer display of each frame. Slow motion is used widely in action films for dramatic effect, as well as the famous bullet-dodging effect , popularized by The Matrix . Formally, this effect

Test b) is conducted (with a shield in place) for 5 minutes minimum. Test duration: 1 minute per square meter for at least 5 minutes Water volume: 10 liters per minute (0.037 impgal/s) Pressure: 50–150 kPa (7.3–21.8 psi) For an oscillating tube: Test duration: 10 minutes Water volume: 0.07 liters per minute (0.00026 impgal/s) per hole a) an oscillating fixture, or b) A spray nozzle with no shield. Test a)

882-422: A television screen and any other device that displays consecutive images at a constant frame rate. For purposes of making the above illustration readable, a projection speed of 10 frames per second ( fps ) has been selected (the 24   fps film standard makes slow overcranking rare but nevertheless available on professional equipment). The second type of slow motion is achieved during post production. This

945-422: A very large factor, for example to examine the details of a nuclear explosion . Examples are sometimes published showing, for example, a bullet bursting a balloon. Usually, digital camcorders (including: bridge cameras , DSLM , higher-end compact cameras and mobile phones ) historically had two ways of storing slow motion video (or: high framerate video ) into the video file: the real-time method and

1008-419: Is fast motion . Cinematographers refer to fast motion as undercranking since it was originally achieved by cranking a handcranked camera slower than normal. It is often used for comic, or occasional stylistic effect. Extreme fast motion is known as time lapse photography ; a frame of, say, a growing plant is taken every few hours; when the frames are played back at normal speed, the plant is seen to grow before

1071-490: Is able to record at 60 fps (e.g. Asus PadFone 2 (late 2012: 720p@60 fps ) and Samsung Mobile starting at the Galaxy Note 3 (late 2013) with 1080p at 60 fps, labelled "smooth motion"), recorded it using the real-time method. These advantages make the real-time method the more useful method for power users . The menial method saves recorded video files in a stretched way, and also without audio track. The framerate in

1134-465: Is an effect in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down . It was invented by the Austrian priest August Musger in the early 20th century. This can be accomplished through the use of high-speed cameras and then playing the footage produced by such cameras at a normal rate like 30 fps , or in post production through the use of software. Typically this style is achieved when each film frame

1197-409: Is captured at a rate much faster than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving more slowly. A term for creating slow motion film is overcranking which refers to hand cranking an early camera at a faster rate than normal (i.e. faster than 24 frames per second). Slow motion can also be achieved by playing normally recorded footage at a slower speed. This technique

1260-487: Is conducted for 10 minutes. b) is conducted (without shield) for 5 minutes minimum. Water volume: 12.5 litres per minute Pressure: 30 kPa (4.4 psi) at distance of 3 meters (9.8 ft) Water volume: 100 liters per minute (0.37 impgal/s) Pressure: 100 kPa (15 psi) at distance of 3 meters (9.8 ft) Water volume: 75 liters per minute (0.27 impgal/s) Pressure: 1,000 kPa (150 psi) at distance of 3 meters (9.8 ft) Tested with

The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are the last two phones in the Samsung Galaxy S series to have a physical home button with a front-sided fingerprint sensor embedded in the button. The S7 Active is the last in the Active series to feature three physical buttons with

1449-607: Is equipped with software that allows the curved edge to act as a ruler , a night clock and various visual notification features such as the Edge notification light for phone calls and incoming messages, of which the preferred colour can be selected for five contacts. There is an additional setting that allows adjusting the brightness of the built-in LED lamp when used as a torch between five brightness levels. The S7, S7 Edge & S7 Active are IP68 -certified for dust and water resistance; unlike

1512-528: Is known as time-stretching or digital slow motion . This type of slow motion is achieved by inserting new frames in between frames that have actually been photographed. The effect is similar to overcranking as the actual motion occurs over a longer time. Since the necessary frames were never photographed, new frames must be fabricated. Sometimes the new frames are simply repeats of the preceding frames but more often they are created by interpolating between frames. (Often this motion interpolation is, effectively,

1575-422: Is more often applied to video subjected to instant replay than to film. A third technique uses computer software post-processing to fabricate digitally interpolated frames between the frames that were shot. Motion can be slowed further by combining techniques, such as for example by interpolating between overcranked frames. The traditional method for achieving super-slow motion is through high-speed photography ,

1638-531: Is offering free repairs/replacements for users in Belgium/Netherlands/Luxembourg (limited to those) under warranty given that the screen is not externally damaged. It is extremely difficult to repair a broken screen. Removal of the AMOLED panel will be required should the user break the screen on a Galaxy S7. On September 23, 2016, a make-up artist’s Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge started to diffuse smoke in

1701-441: Is possible. The 240 fps footage is encoded in real-time and recorded with audio. The footage can be edited with the precluded slow motion video editing software. The five-minute time limit for 2160p video has been removed. The improved burst shot mode captures twenty full-resolution photos per second up to one hundred photos per row. The limit was raised from the thirty photos per sequence at approximately eight photos per second on

1764-404: Is referred to as speed ramping and is a process whereby the capture frame rate of the camera changes over time. For example, if in the course of 10 seconds of capture, the capture frame rate is adjusted from 60 frames per second to 24 frames per second, when played back at the standard film rate of 24 frames per second, a unique time-manipulation effect is achieved. For example, someone pushing

Still photos can be captured during 1440p (30 fps) and 2160p (30 fps) video recording, while the predecessor could only do so at up to 1080p. However, still photos can not be captured during 1080p video recording at 60 frames per second. The camera software of the Galaxy S7 has a mode for the manual adjustment of operating parameters, such as exposure , ISO light sensitivity , white balance , and exposure value . Parameters can also be set for video recording. However,
