Samsung introduced Galaxy Buds Pro and SmartTag - a reissue of old headphones and its analog Airtag

Anonim

Here, the next Apple presentation turned away. How does it sound, and? After all, each event of the company from Cupertino, how often they were carried out, invariably leave after themselves an indelible impression. But with Samsung presentations, nothing happens. It is not enough that they are held without a special pump, so also the aftertaste after themselves do not leave. Looking at the next event of the company from South Korea, you first think you think, - why are you, in fact, did it all looked? - And then you just forget about it. I will write what I saw until I forgot.

Before Galaxy S21 Samsung released its cheapest 5G-smartphone

Headphones Galaxy Buds Pro became the first novelty of Samsung in today's event. They became the first headphones of the company with active noise reduction. Surprisingly, but, despite the fact that Koreans have long been doing with the "ears", until now in their assortment there was no uniform model that would support the active noise.

What can Galaxy Buds Pro

Appearance Galaxy Buds Pro leaves the impression of something very not new

This is how else new Samsung headphones can boast, except for supporting active noise reduction technology:

  • Accelerometer support (for voice recognition)
  • "Environment" mode (analogue "Transparency" in Airpods Pro)
  • Adjusting active noise reduction
  • Actual noise cancellation function

Most likely, the work on Galaxy Buds Pro began either at the same time, or shortly after Galaxy Buds, which came out a year ago. It may seem that there is nothing strange. In the end, Apple has released its Airpods Pro more than six months since the airpods 2. But if Airpods Pro turned out to be a completely independent model, Buds Pro clearly does not pull anything.

Samsung invented how to revive old Android smartphones

It is well noticeable on the appearance of new Samsung headphones. The design of Galaxy Buds Pro is exactly copied by the original Galaxy Buds. It is rather strange, because Samsung has released Galaxy Buds Live in the form of beans. It turns out that either the Buds Live Form Factor turned out to be unsuccessful, or Samsung simply released outdated headphones with a single killer-feathers in the form of active noise, which, as for me, is nothing better.

What is SmartTag

The second novelty - Galaxy SmartTag. The name does not completely select, but if you look at it, you can guess that we are talking about searching Bluetooth tracker. Running forward, I will say that the thing turned out more than boring - the Koreans themselves talked about her with poorly hidden indifference, "but I like something in it. The fact that Samsung quicted Apple again and released AIRTAG earlier.

SmartTag is a search tracker from Samsung, an analogue of the uncompressed Airtag

Perhaps the Able's beacon will be cooler and functional, but the fact that the Koreans coped with the development and launch of the product for this niche faster, really causes genuine fun. You can argue as much as you like that in Cupertino is never hurry, but we are released everything when truly confident as your product, but leave this lyrics to irresponsible fans. Remember: the market is getting the one who captures it before.

Because of what SAMSUNG sales failed in 2020

Since SmartTag is just a small key chain with built-in Bluetooth, it is sure to need a software base that will be found on infrastructure devices. Simply put, it should be an application through which Samsung smartphones will track the beacon. His role executes the SmartThings Find service.

How SmartTag works

The name is completely random and not proven, especially in Russian, but it works exactly the same as the Epplovsky "Locator". The tracker is constantly emitting a Bluetooth signal that Samsung smartphones passing by users can be considered. They record the identifier of the key fob, its coordinates and transmit them to the owner of the disappearance. Of course, not directly, but through the Samsung server, where the signal is encrypted so that the random passerby does not recognize that it works as an involuntary repeater, and the final recipient is about who handed him a signal.

Lighthouse can be attached to any thing that you do not want to lose, and track its location from the smartphone. And with it, it is possible to find a wounded incomprehensible where Galaxy S21, but only if it is in the reeling area of ​​the Bluetooth signal. Just click on the SMARTTAG button, and the smartphone will start to make a beep, requiring it to be found.

Why urgently update flagship smartphones samsung

Ultra Wideband, who, by rumors, Koreans planned to implement in SmartTag, does not support keychain. But it will maintain an improved version called SmartTag +, which will be released later this year.

There is such a thing in the US $ 29. It seems a bit, but our money is more than 2 thousand rubles that most would most likely refuse, because it is expensive. Fortunately, Koreans decided to have this problem and simply did not bring SmartTag to Russia. Most likely, not in his will - the local legislation has affected, prohibiting the importation of spy gadgets into the country - but what's the difference. The goal is achieved! ?
