Samsung talks about the big improvements that the Vulkan API will bring to smartphones

Vulkan is the new low-level API from Team Chronos that comes to succeed the already outdated OpenGL and to fight with Microsoft's DirectX 12. Vulkan will not have it easy to become the new reference for the development of video games on PC but on smartphones the situation is very different.

Samsung is proud to announce that the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are the first smartphones to include Vulkan compatibility and the great benefits it can bring to the most gamers. Samsung has shown a video that shows the improvements of the Vulkan API to the performance of video games on its terminals.

Specifically, the games shown were Need for Speed ​​No Limits, Heroes of Incredible Tales and Vainglory. Clear improvements in the frame rate per second and greater stability compared to OpenGL could be seen.

In addition to Vulkan support, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 include features known as Game Tools and Game Launcher that are especially useful for video game fans on smartphones. Samsung is working on two new versions of these technologies and they are expected to be ready very soon.

Game Tools allows you to record your games and share them on social networks with your friends, while Game Launcher brings together all available games with new automatically added downloads in one place. Before playing, you can mute and hide alerts, as well as change game settings to save battery power.
