The Galaxy Note II includes several sensors that detect motion, including an accelerometer, RGB light, digital compass, proximity, gyro and barometer, and are ideal for a range of applications including gaming, navigation and virtual reality. Atmel’s AVR UC3L sensor hub solution combines the input from these multiple sensors to provide real-time direction, orientation and inclination data to deliver superior performance, in addition to lower power consumption to achieve longer battery life.
“The flagship Galaxy Note II has been a rapidly selling product specifically for users that require a larger screen and more capability than just a smartphone,” said Sueng-jun Park, senior engineer, Samsung Electronics. “Atmel’s sensor hub solution offers our customers a visibly superior experience while running motion-related applications. We are excited to collaborate with Atmel to deliver the continued flawless performance and long battery life that our users have come to expect.”
“Samsung continues to bring some of the most innovative products to the market with a variety of new features and applications that require motion sensing,” said Peter Jones, vice president and general manager for microcontroller and touch business units, Atmel Corporation. “Atmel’s sensor hub solution enables Galaxy Note II users the ability to enjoy accurate and quick response time required for applications ranging from gaming to navigation, virtual reality and more. We also look forward to a strong ongoing collaboration with Samsung.”
