Samsung on Tuesday launched its flagship Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge in India, well within a fortnight of their global launch at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The two flagship phones, being sold at competitive prices of Rs 48,900 and Rs 56,900 long with the Samsung Gear VR headset, will come with the heavy component of Made in India features as well as Made for India services.
The phones arguable have the best cameras in Android devices, most of which was tested and developed at Samsung’s R&D facility in Bangalore. It is also the second largest such facility for the Korean tech giant.
Samsung R&D institute vice-president Dr Balvinder Singh said his team worked on multiple user scenarios to perfect the camera which uses a new dual pixel technology to offer better performance in low light.
Powered by Samsung’s own Exynos processors, the phones will offer better network capabilities, says the company. Incidentally, the phone will not be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 procession like in some other markets.
Giving some extra value to customers of the premium devices in India, Samsung is now adding a layer of concierge services in the My Galaxy app.
Manu Sharma, director mobile at Samsung India, said along with curated services, S7 customers will get to jump the queue at around 400 service centres and will also have pickup and drop facility with the option of getting a standby device if needed. The concierge will be in the form of an on-call personal assistant powered by Haptik Inc available from 10 am to 6 pm every day along with a chat service with longer timings.
