Galaxy S7 edge that can be called for smartphone games
This unit is the successor to the "Galaxy S6 Edge" released last year.It has evolved in numerous events, including expanding display size, increasing RAM capacity, waterproof and dustproof.
First, let's introduce the basic specifications of this unit.

Qualcomm's latest mobile processor "Snapdragon 820" and 4GB RAM are equivalent to this year's flagship model.
By adopting a 3D glass with a curved left and right edge as well as the front display, the display size is expanded, and it maintains ease of holding.
If a vertical game game does not require a tap to the four corners, it is possible to operate only one hand.
The performance of the game terminal you care about is compatible with the next generation graphic API "Vulkan".This reduces the load on the CPU by about 20 % in addition to improving the performance.
At Mobile World Congress 2016, held in February this year, a demonstration of UNREAL ENGINE4 compatible with Vulkan was unveiled with Galaxy S7.
"Game launchers" and "game tools" want to pay attention to the functions that are useful when actually playing games.
We will explain how these functions have an effect on the smartphone game environment.
Collective management of games in the game launcher
The game launcher is a function that allows you to manage the installed games together.
When you install a game app, it is automatically stored in the game launcher, so you can save you the trouble of creating a game folder yourself.
The game launcher is automatically created on the home screen when the game application is first installed.When you tap, a dedicated launcher is different from the normal folder, and the game can be started from here.
Tap [Popular Ranking] at the bottom left of the game launcher screen allows you to check the popular game ranking among Galaxy terminal users.
There are four types of rankings: the number of players, the number of players (new), the order of play time, and the play time (new).If you tap the game you care about, you can move directly to the Google Play download page.
Tap the [Recommended Video] on the right of the popular ranking to display videos about games in the game launcher.
If you tap the video you want to watch, the YouTube app will be launched automatically and you can watch the video immediately.These videos are searched on YouTube in "Game title + Android", and tap [See more] in each title displays YouTube search results.
Battery saving in the game can also be set from the game launcher.
You can choose from three stages: OFF (no savings), power saving, and maximum power saving.Use it when there is no power supply nearby, such as on the go.
When the power saving is set, the resolution and the frame rate decrease.Because it is a high -spec terminal, it is better not to use it.
Game tool with 5 functions
A game tool is a general term for functions that can be used when playing games on this unit.The following five functions are installed.
- ゲーム中に通知を制限
- 履歴キーおよび戻るキーをロック
- ゲーム画面の最小化
- 画面キャプチャ
- 録画
When Game Tools is enabled in the launcher, the game tool icon is displayed at the end when the game is started.This icon can be moved to a place that can not be played by holding a long press
When playing a smartphone game, it is common for notifications such as telephone, email, SNS, etc., and interrupts concentration.
If you turn on "restrictions on notifications during the game", shut out all such notices.You will be immersed in the game.
If this function is enabled, notifications like the image will not be displayed, and you can concentrate on it.
It doesn't seem to be hidden when receiving calls.Still, a fairly smart notification does not hinder the game than a normal large pop -up.
In this unit, the "history key" and "return key" are placed on the side of the physical home button mounted at the bottom of the display.
These keys can be used conveniently in various situations, but they may be touched without intention during game play.
By locking these keys, you can prevent malfunctions and realize comfortable gameplay.
In particular, in the horizontal screen games, the key is often mistakenly pressed.I want to always recommend this function
A function that makes the game being played an icon and always displays it on the screen.
You can stop the game once, see the capture site, reply to emails, and resume at any time.
Minimizes a round icon shape, and is always displayed on the screen even when other apps are launched.It is a useful function for play style, such as checking information on the capture site and resuming the game immediately.
A function similar to the so -called screenshot that saves the displayed screen as an image.
Unlike a normal screenshot, if you shoot with a screen capture of the game tool, the game folder is automatically created, making it easier to manage images.
When you check it in the gallery, the image is stored in a folder different from the normal screenshot.It will be useful for those who often take screenshots such as gacha images and rare drops.
Among the game tools, the recording function is particularly notable.It is possible to shoot only on the terminal without the need for equipment.
You can record with one tap from the game tool menu.However, a profile image is displayed.You can move it by holding a long press, so let's put it in a place that does not get into it.
In Android, there are several apps for recording the screen, but all of the sounds are recorded from the microphone, so noise will inevitably enter.
However, in the recording function of this unit, only the game audio can be recorded directly, so you can shoot a play video without noise.
At that time, if the volume of the game is low, the volume of the recorded video will also be reduced.
If you change the settings, you can record the audio from the microphone.You can also display the image of the front camera instead of the profile image, so you can create a live -style video.
What is your ability as a game terminal?
A place where you are worried about the movement of the game.Therefore, I will tell you the feel of playing a 3D game where the specifications are required, along with the benchmark result.
The benchmark app used this time is "Antutu Benchmark (Ver6).1.Four)".The total score was about 135,000, which was very high.Above all, the height of the 3D score was noticeable.
Not only 3D scores, but also high levels overall.In comparison with the iPhone 6s, there was a big difference in the 3D score, despite the small difference in the total score.
From the benchmark above, it turned out that the performance related to 3D graphics was high, so we decided to verify that they can actually play comfortably.
This time, I played two works, "UNKILLED" and "Assassin's Creed Identity", which made full use of 3D graphics.
I was worried about the processing drop when a large amount of zombies occurred, but I could not confirm it as long as I played, so I was able to play smoothly.
Although it is a horizontal screen game, thanks to the lock function of the history key and the return key, it is possible to play without worrying about malfunction.Thanks to the good colored display, blood splashes were noticeable, and the atmosphere of the zombie game was fully felt.
The game is made of quite detailed graphics, such as the pattern of the wall, but the operation is smooth.I was playing and never felt dissatisfied.
This work, which can move freely on a wide map, is 5.It is very compatible with this unit equipped with a 5 -inch large screen display and can be played comfortably.
Both works were able to enjoy beautiful graphics.Regarding fever, I couldn't say that it was too hot to be in my hand, so I can affirm that it is one that is suitable for playing the game.
