Digicel has launched the newest additions to the Galaxy family of products, Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, in the Caribbean and Central America.
The new smartphones introduce the first Dual Pixel camera on a mobile device, delivering brighter and sharper images with brighter lens, wider aperture, bigger pixel and a more accurate autofocus even in low-light conditions. Motion Panorama, a new camera mode, brings movement to traditional panoramic photos, giving the user a completely immersive visual experience.
This is coupled with an elegant design, made possible through a perfect combination of 3D glass and metal; the Always-On Display (Always-On Screen) that provides users with a simplified experience without having to touch the screen; IP68 certification, which provides resistance to dust and water under certain conditions and an overall improved user experience with the screen edge of the S7 edge, capable of displaying easy shortcuts to users favourite features.
The technology found in the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge also incorporates fast cable and wireless charging capabilities, extra storage via a microSD card slot, a powerful processor and increased battery capacity. These features, together with the Game Launcher and Vulkan API make the phones a new staple for gamers who can now record their experiences, share their screens with other gamers and even play high-performance graphic games with lower battery consumption. Regional sales director of Samsung Electronics Latin America, Jorge Lopez, said: "At Samsung, we understand that the smartphone is at the centre of everyday lives, which is why we are fully dedicated to listening to what our customers need and want from their mobile companion and making that happen for them.
"For instance, with the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, we set out to design a best-in-class camera, with optimal graphics for gamers and a phone that was resistant to water and dust. The constant evolution of the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem is reflected in innovative products precisely like the new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7edge, Gear 360, Gear S2, Gear VR and solutions such as Samsung Pay, all of which have taken the mobile experience to the next level."
Digicel chief commercial officer for Caribbean and Central America, John Delves, said: "Our customers want their devices to deliver on form, function and fashion. They want a device that spans both business and entertainment. The Samsung Galaxy S7 line delivers on all fronts–and then some. So we happy to be bringing next generation technology to our customers now–it is truly an exciting time in the world of technology for Digicel and our customers."
Over the coming months, consumers in the Caribbean and Central will also have access to the secure, easy-to-use mobile payment service, Samsung Pay, which today operates in multiple other countries around the world and has become a global sensation after processing more than US$500 million during the first six months of operations.
