DT Daily: Samsung S6 camera tech, NASA’s Titan submarine, new VR View-Master

Today on DT Daily: Samsung ramps up expectations for the Galaxy S6, NASA wants to build a submarine and Mattel rolls out a new View-Master for the Internet age.

Outside of the iPhone, few handsets can manage as much pre-release hype as a new Samsung Galaxy, the firm’s flagship phone. The newest iteration, the S6, is coming soon, and word is, it’ll have some serious cameras built in.

In 2005, NASA landed a little probe on Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon. It sniffed around and took some photos, revealing rocks and whole oceans of liquid methane. Now, NASA wants to send a whole submarine there.

We talked about a Mattel-Google View-Master mashup earlier, and now, Mattel has taken the wraps off a prototype device, and it looks pretty cool! Mattel says the new View-Master will work with Apple and Android devices, and should sell for 30 bucks.

Second, we should also remember it’s the latest weapon in Apple’s ecosystem arsenal, designed specifically to keep you buying the iPhone for years to come, possibly including one of the most controversial rumored iPhones on the horizon.
What is MagSafe for iPhone?
What does MagSafe do? It’s a new way for chargers and accessories to attach and talk to your iPhone. The simplest accessory is Apple's own MagSafe Wireless Charger, a $39 charging plate that looks a bit like a thinner, oversized Apple Watch charging plinth. It uses magnets to clamp itself tightly against the back of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models, securely keeping it in place for accurate charger positioning.
