We do not yet know what result this will give in practice, but it is clear that Samsung has just had a great idea: to use the microphones of its Galaxy Buds 2 Pro to improve sound capture when recording a video with its smartphone. . A “3D” sound recording, which is called “binaural”. “This feature picks up sound from 360 degrees through a microphone in each earbud, placing viewers in the center of a festival crowd or next to a bubbling stream in the middle of a forest”, explains the brand. A way to improve the sound capture traditionally provided by the microphone of the smartphone.
To offer such a function, Samsung exploits one of the capacities of the Bluetooth LE Audio protocol, which also makes it possible to benefit from improved latency and better autonomy. However, this feature is currently only available on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 folding smartphones. It will also be on the future Galaxy S23.
Finally, to perfect the creative experience offered by its high-end smartphones, Samsung will soon be able to control the zoom of their photo or video camera directly from a connected Galaxy Watch (4 or 5). “Users will be able to remotely control their phone’s camera zoom with a simple pinch of the watch face or twist of the rotating bezel — perfect for taking group shots or solo selfies on the go. distance and avoid having to walk back and forth to the camera to frame the perfect shot”explains the company, which continues to update its ecosystem by imagining concrete improvements for users of several Samsung devices.
