Samsung held a massive launch party for its new line of Galaxy smartphones, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, at Samsung IMAX cinema Lahore. Bringing in the new series of hardware, Samsung held this party to bring about awareness of the new phones in Pakistan as well as celebrate its successful run of pre-orders which included a free Gear VR headset for every buyer. This scheme was available all over the globe as well as in Pakistan.
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are the embodiment of Samsung’s promise to provide latest and greatest features along with inspiring innovation. Both new phones are IP68 certified which means they can resist water and dust. The most important thing here which Samsung boasts is, it achieved this certification without any flaps or coverage over its ports which is astounding. There was a live demo present at the launch event showing this characteristic.
Also, new addition includes a highly optimized and improved camera. The dual-focus is truly amazing once you experience it. To further show the capabilities, Samsung had set up a camera exhibit where the phone was placed on a tripod in front of a very poorly lit foreground. The S7 and S7 Edge truly shined by displaying accurate details and very little grain in pictures and videos.
Lastly, there was a separate booth catered towards letting customers experience Gear VR along with Samsung’s own Level headphones. The combination left first-time users in awe. Even celebrities who were present at the event truly appreciated the technology.
Gear S2 Sport, Gear S2 Classic and Gear 360 was announced as well at the event. It is good to see large companies like Samsung bring in new devices and accessories at the same time internationally and in Pakistan. The Samsung Galaxy S7 is available at RS79,000 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge at RS89,000.
