Desmontan el Galaxy S7 para revelar el sistema de refrigeración de la CPU

Samsung dedicó una gran cantidad de tiempo a su nueva API de juegos Vulcan en el Mobile World Congress el domingo 21 de febrero, con la compañía haciendo hincapié en lo potentes que son los nuevos Galaxy S7 y S7 edge. Podemos decir que los juegos se están convirtiendo en otra de las principales prioridades de Samsung para mejorar su experiencia de usuario, llevando sus dispositivos por encima de lo que Google pretende ofrecer a los usuarios de Android en lo que a juegos se refiere.

Now, we have yet another piece of evidence that explains Samsung’s emphasis on the gaming experience last Sunday: a CPU cooling system in the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. Russian tech site Hi-Tech@mail.ru got its hands on the Galaxy S7 immediately after the announcement, and discovered that Samsung has placed a CPU cooling unit into the device to help reduce the overheating that occurs when gaming, for example: “For the first time Samsung has established within the smartphone heat-conducting copper tube for cooling. The new chip Exynos 8890 is not only powerful, but also hot!” (the response comes via Google Translate).

We can tell from this statement that the Russian tech site was able to test an international (or even Canadian) version of the Galaxy S7, since the US received a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset in its Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. The Exynos 8890 may prove to be hot, but the truth of the matter is that most processors on the market overheat when it comes to the gaming experience. Gaming tends to be the one activity that drains the battery quickly, even faster than video playback — and yet, Samsung says the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge can get you through an entire season of Game of Thrones on a single charge. Impressive!

Samsung’s in-built CPU cooling system will not only benefit those who want on-device mobile gaming to take off, but also those who are early adopters of Samsung’s Gear VR headset. Gear VR, unlike LG’s 360 VR headset, doesn’t mandate a VR display but uses your Samsung smartphone as the headset’s display. The end result, however, is that a device such as the Galaxy S6 edge Plus or the Galaxy Note 5 can quickly overheat. In my own testing with the Galaxy Note 5 and Gear VR, it only takes 30 minutes before you’re told to power off the device and let it cool before continuing.

With the new CPU cooling system for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, however, it’s likely that gaming will last longer because the device will stay cooler than before — which will also improve the battery performance (since overheating leads directly to battery drain). The end result is that users will use their new Galaxy S7 and S7 edge longer, and that Samsung’s Gear VR headset (which the company está regalando ahora con la compra o el alquiler de cualquiera de los dos S7 dispositivo) pasarán mucho más tiempo en la cara de los consumidores.
