At Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 in London, Samsung Electronics unveiled Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9, expanding the digital health experience on the wrist. From the moment users wake up to the time they finish a workout and begin recovery, a smartwatch stays in contact with the body throughout the day.

Samsung Newsroom got an early look at the new wearables during Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 — from Galaxy Watch Ultra2, built for precise workout tracking and structured training in demanding environments, to Galaxy Watch9, designed for everyday health management spanning sleep, cardiovascular health, exercise and recovery.

Galaxy Watch Ultra2: Adventure Without Limits

Combining top-tier performance with exceptional durability, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is optimized for high-intensity sports and outdoor activities.

Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is the first Galaxy Watch powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® Wear Elite Platform,¹ delivering fast performance and precise GPS tracking. Its 800mAh battery offers 35% more capacity than the previous generation’s. The display reaches up to 5,000 nits of brightness — a first for a smartwatch — making on-screen information easy to read even under bright lighting.

Comfort has also improved. The cushion design seamlessly integrates the display, bezel and body. Despite its larger battery, the watch is 12% thinner than the previous generation thanks to component optimization and an internal redesign. The band is 26% lighter with a new air pocket structure, providing a secure yet comfortable fit.

Trail Run, a new feature exclusive to Galaxy Watch Ultra2, offers real-time insights including detailed elevation data, climbing progress and cumulative ascent and descent distance. With this information, users can gauge workout intensity and adjust their pace accordingly.

Galaxy Watch Ultra2’s capabilities now extend beneath the surface. From the moment users enter the water, it automatically records depth, dive time and water temperature. Backed by EN13319 certification for diving instruments, along with 10ATM water resistance and an IP69K rating for dust and water resistance, the device is engineered to support safe underwater activities. Furthermore, in collaboration with global diving equipment brand Mares, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 will support advanced diving features — including real-time ascent and descent rates as well as safety decompression time.²

During workouts, users can take advantage of hydration guidance, newly added to Nutrition Alert. Based on sweat loss relative to body weight, it calculates recommended fluid intake in real time to help users stay hydrated during extended exercise sessions.

Galaxy Watch9: A Companion for Everyday Health

Galaxy Watch9 is designed to be an everyday companion for continuous health management. Its slimmer body and band with a new air pocket structure fit comfortably and securely around the wrist, making it ideal for all-day wear — from workouts to sleep.

Powered by the Snapdragon Wear Elite platform, Galaxy Watch9 features a 390mAh battery³ with 20% more capacity than the previous generation’s to support fast performance and consistent health monitoring throughout the day.

The Galaxy Watch series’ digital health experience is centered around the updated Samsung Health, an all-in-one health coach that brings together five core pillars — Activity, Mindfulness, Nutrition, Sleep and Vitals — in one place. By capturing signals from the body and presenting them at a glance, the app helps users stay ahead of their health.▲ The five core pillars of Samsung Health 

Sleep is the foundation of health management. The upgraded Sleep Apnea feature analyzes the number of breathing disruptions per hour using an AI algorithm and categorizes them into three levels. It further refines the sleep apnea detection capability that earned Samsung the world’s first De Novo authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2024.

Key health metrics measured during sleep can be viewed at a glance in Vitals. Using heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen saturation, Galaxy Watch9 establishes a personalized baseline to help identify meaningful changes in health.

Heart Health Score provides an easy-to-understand snapshot of cardiovascular health by combining factors such as activity level, sleep, body composition and stress trends into a single score representing the user’s current condition.

Workout plans can also be tailored to fitness levels. Fitness Index uses body composition and workout history to assess whether a user’s current exercise volume is appropriate, helping set individualized goals. On days with more intensive workouts, Daily Cardio Load helps users assess training balance and determine how much recovery time they need.

Galaxy Watch Ultra2 excels in high-intensity training, while Galaxy Watch9 supports everyday health management. Together with enhanced hardware and Samsung Health, the next-generation Galaxy Watch series delivers a smarter, more personalized health experience.

At Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 in London, Samsung Electronics unveiled the eighth-generation Galaxy Z series. Combining agentic AI that understands users with hardware tailored to different lifestyles, the lineup offers three distinct foldable experiences.

Samsung Newsroom got an early look at the new devices during Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 — from Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the first Ultra model in the Galaxy foldable portfolio, to Galaxy Z Fold8 with its all-new form factor and Galaxy Z Flip8 with more intuitive AI on FlexWindow.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Ultra Experience on a Foldable Display

Within the Galaxy lineup, the “Ultra” name represents Samsung’s highest level of performance and user experience. As the first Ultra model in the Galaxy Z series, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra pairs ultra-level performance with an expansive foldable display to elevate productivity through AI-powered multitasking.

The first thing that stands out is how thin the device is. Unfolding it reveals a spacious 8-inch main display. Measuring 4.1 millimeters thick when unfolded and weighing only 215 grams, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the thinnest Galaxy Z Fold yet — making it comfortable to carry and use throughout the day.

The display has also been refined to deliver smoother, more comfortable folding. The folding magnets, hinge mechanism and display tension have been precisely optimized, while refinements to the edge design make the device easier to unfold. Samsung’s proprietary Flex Titanium technology helps minimize the display crease while enhancing durability.

The expansive display also unlocks enhanced AI experiences.

Gemini Notebook streamlines the process of organizing meeting materials and notes. Users can upload a PDF of meeting minutes or an audio recording of a presentation to generate a summary of the key points, then transform the same source material into a variety of formats — including AI-generated videos, presentation slides, podcasts and quizzes.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra truly shines in AI-powered multitasking. Agentic AI anticipates when multitasking is needed, using Now Nudge to open Multi Window at the right moment. For example, Now Nudge can suggest adding dinner plans from a messaging app to the calendar and open the Calendar app in Multi Window.

Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy and a 5,000mAh battery support Galaxy AI experiences and seamless multitasking on the expansive display.

Galaxy Z Fold8: A Foldable, Reimagined

Redesigned with an all-new form factor, Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces an aspect ratio optimized for a wide range of content.

Unfolding the device expands the display to a 4:3 aspect ratio, ideal for watching movies or playing games. Rotating the device switches to a 3:4 aspect ratio that feels more natural for reading e-books or browsing the web. The cover screen’s 10:16 aspect ratio also provides a familiar experience for browsing short-form content.

A 4,800mAh battery supports more than 26 hours of video playback. Weighing just 201 grams, Galaxy Z Fold8 is the lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet and remains comfortable to hold — even during extended viewing sessions.▲ Optimized aspect ratios enhance content immersion.

Galaxy Z Fold8 goes beyond content consumption with tools for creating and editing.

Galaxy AI-powered My FanCam makes it easy to create videos focused on a specific person. After selecting a video in the Gallery app, users can launch My FanCam and choose the subject to follow. The video is then automatically reframed around the selected subject.▲ My FanCam

The device also delivers a more advanced agentic AI experience.

For example, if a user shares a photo of the Eiffel Tower with Gemini and asks it to book a nearby hotel, the AI agent finds accommodations that match the specified criteria — even while they continue using other apps. Afterward, they can simply review the recommendations and approve only the actions that require confirmation, saving time and effort.

Galaxy Z Flip8: More Without Unfolding

Galaxy Z Flip8 makes a strong first impression with its thin, lightweight design. Measuring 6.1 millimeters thick when unfolded and weighing only 180 grams, it offers excellent portability. A stronger frame and a more durable hinge made with a new high-strength material improve durability while maintaining the device’s slim profile.

One of Galaxy Z Flip8’s biggest upgrades is its more versatile FlexWindow. Users can check important information and access their favorite features without unfolding the device.

Another highlight is Galaxy AI’s Now Brief. From FlexWindow, users can instantly see the day’s weather, schedule and important notifications. Everyday information such as exchange rates and stock updates is organized into personalized cards, making it easy to stay on top of the day.

App functionality also extends to FlexWindow. Without unfolding the device, users can browse photos in the Gallery app, chat with friends through messaging apps and quickly complete tasks. More than a hub for notifications and widgets, FlexWindow has evolved into a gateway to more of what Galaxy has to offer.

The camera experience has also been refined to better complement the Galaxy Z Flip form factor. Camcorder Grip — exclusive to the Galaxy Z Flip series — enables stable one-handed recording, while Super Steady’s horizontal lock helps keep footage smooth and level, even on the move.

Dual Recording captures both the creator and the subject in the same video, perfect for vlogs and social media challenges. Opening the Camera app displays the creator’s view at the top of the screen and the subject’s view below, allowing both perspectives to be recorded simultaneously. A live preview is also available on the cover screen, so both can see the shot while filming.

From AI-powered productivity on a large display to optimized content viewing and everyday convenience without unfolding, the eighth-generation Galaxy Z series expands the possibilities of foldables. Designed to suit a wide range of needs, the latest Galaxy foldables offer users more ways to choose the mobile experience that suits them.

Developed with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, intelligent eyewear becomes part of the user’s personal style

Samsung Electronics today introduced its intelligent eyewear at Galaxy Unpacked in London. Building on the concepts announced at the latest Google I/O, the new designs were developed with global eyewear brands, Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. The intelligent eyewear shows how the Galaxy ecosystem can move beyond the mobile phone and into eyewear that supports daily routines, work, travel and hands-free moments.

What’s New:

• Designed for everyday use, the eyewear pairs a lightweight frame and slim profile with the durability and comfort needed for daily wear.
• Developed in collaboration with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, the eyewear reflects each brand’s expertise in design, offering a range of frame styles, colors and lens options to suit different preferences and lifestyles.

“As agentic AI reshapes mobile experiences, the next step is to make those experiences more intuitive and responsive to each user’s context,” said Won-Joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer of the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Intelligent eyewear creates a new point of interaction, bringing more personalized AI assistance naturally into the moments that make up everyday life.”

Why It Matters

As AI enters an agentic era, the question is no longer only how intelligent it becomes, but where and how that intelligence meets people. Mobile phones remain at the center of connected experiences, while devices across the Galaxy ecosystem add context to different moments of daily life. Intelligent eyewear represents that next step, bringing AI closer to people as they move, work, communicate and explore, without requiring every interaction to begin with a screen.

Built for these moments, intelligent eyewear brings AI directly into the user’s line of sight, providing timely information and assistance while allowing them to stay engaged with the people, places and tasks around them. Clear controls and safeguards support responsible and secure use, while hands-free access delivers assistance naturally without requiring users to stop what they are doing or turn to another screen.

New Intelligent Eyewear Experience

Designed for everyday wear, the eyewear combines a lightweight frame, slim profile and battery performance, offering up to nine hours on a single charge with up to seven additional full charges from the charging case.¹ A built-in camera brings visual context into the AI experience, while Snapdragon^® AR1 Gen1² Platform supports the AI performance designed for real-time assistance, with touch interaction, connectivity, power efficiency and thermal management optimized within the eyewear’s compact frame.

As a hands-free extension of the Galaxy experience, the device lets users stay focused on the moment. Built in partnership with Google, it brings Gemini into a familiar wearable form factor, making interaction feel more natural, immediate and intuitive.

“Google and Samsung have a shared vision to bring helpful and context-aware intelligence into everyday life,” said Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem at Google. “Built on the Android XR platform, the intelligent eyewear blends world-class designs with Gemini’s advanced assistance that naturally responds to what you see, delivering all-day, hands-free help. We’re excited to continue this momentum and bring this experience to people soon.”

Key experiences include:

• Staying in the moment: The device can help summarize long messages, read key information aloud, support live translation and allow users to control the experience with simple voice or gesture interactions through connected devices.³
• Capturing context: When prompted, the eyewear can capture what the user is seeing, such as a whiteboard or meeting discussion, organize key information in Notes and make it easier to review, share and follow-up on later.⁴
• Real-time interaction: Users can ask for guidance based on their location, such as finding a route, setting a destination or understanding what is around them, while live translation can support communication in another language.⁵
• Context-aware assistance: The device can support more useful follow-up interactions by understanding the user’s current context and connecting relevant information across tasks, helping users continue where they left off with less repetition.⁶
• Live visual sharing: Users can share what they are seeing during a call or record their own point of view, making communication more immediate while keeping their hands free.⁷

A More Personal Approach to Eyewear

Eyewear is both a functional product and a personal style statement. Samsung worked with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to create intelligent eyewear that balances thoughtful design, comfort and everyday wearability. By combining Samsung’s hardware craftsmanship with each brand’s distinctive design approach, the collaboration offers a broader range of styles to suit different preferences, lifestyles and occasions.

At the Unpacked, Samsung introduced two distinct designs by: Gentle Monster and Warby Parker.

The Gentle Monster edition features a slim frame in black, pairing a straight upper rim with softly rounded lower edges to create a refined and fashion-forward silhouette. The Warby Parker style features a subtly upswept brow line in a rich brown hue, creating a refined, versatile shape perfect for everyday settings.

Throughout the design process, Samsung worked closely with the eyewear partners to refine key fit points such as the forehead and ears. These insights helped shape the final designs with enhanced comfort and everyday wearability. Fit considerations were tailored to each model, alongside durability and reliable performance.

Specifications Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra

The post Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 and Flip8: Foldables, Perfected for Every Way of Living appeared first on Tech Scene ZA.

Built with Samsung’s end-to-end foldable innovation, the new display technology enhances durability and reduces crease visibility for a more refined foldable experience

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 20 July 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has unveiled new Flex Titanium technology for the next generation of Galaxy foldable devices. Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and engineering expertise, the redesigned display structure utilises structural and material advancements to deliver a more refined viewing experience with enhanced durability and reduced crease visibility. Made possible thanks to Samsung’s accumulated display know-how, Flex Titanium technology integrates two titanium-based components — a titanium-alloy film and a titanium plate — working together to balance slimness, flexibility and strength within the foldable display structure.

“Samsung’s strength in the foldable category comes from connecting user needs with our technologies that deliver tangible benefits in everyday life,” said Sunghoon Moon, EVP and Senior Executive, Mobile R&D Office – H/W, Samsung Electronics. “For the next generation of Galaxy foldables, Samsung is building on years of expertise to bring display innovations into devices that enhance user experiences, anchored by exceptional viewing experiences.”

Building on Years of Foldable Experience

Samsung has played a leading role in advancing mobile display innovation and bringing it to consumers at scale through mobile devices. This legacy includes the widespread adoption of AMOLED displays 2007 and, the evolution of displays into flexible form factors.

Innovative technologies can only reach their full potential and provide meaningful user experiences through continuous refinement in real-world conditions, and the foldable category is no exception. Across seven generations of Galaxy foldables, Samsung has listened closely to consumer feedback. This has given the company a deep understanding of what users expect from the category: larger, more immersive viewing experience with less visible crease — without compromising durability or portability.

To meet these expectations, Samsung had to rethink how foldable displays are constructed by bringing together breakthroughs in technology, materials and mechanical engineering. The result is the latest milestone in foldable display innovation: Flex Titanium technology. By successfully integrating display innovation with device engineering, Samsung will continue to shape the direction of the mobile industry and deliver standout user experiences.

Flex Titanium: Next-Level Viewing

To create a display that provides an immersive viewing experience while maintaining its ability to withstand everyday use, Samsung took a new approach to structural design. This required a material strong enough to withstand external shock, flexible enough to endure repeated folding and thin enough to fit within a refined device structure. Balancing all three factors was essential to advancing foldable displays — and titanium offered the right mix.

Known for its resilience and strength, titanium has been used in some of the most demanding applications, including satellite antennas and the wheels of a Mars rover. While its strength makes titanium a dependable material, it also presents significant engineering challenges when applied to the thin and flexible structure of a foldable display due to its stiffness. Drawing on its expertise, Samsung has integrated titanium into two key components: a titanium-alloy film and a titanium plate.

The titanium-alloy film is a component that supports the display from within, sitting below the OLED panel. Compared with polymer film, it provides 20 times greater mechanical stiffness. A precision rolling process makes the material exceptionally thin — measuring roughly one-third the thickness of an average human hair — enabling a slimmer display panel.

Below this sits a robust titanium plate, a flexible structure that supports the display module from beneath. It allows tighter bonding with the display module by eliminating air gaps between the module and the adhesive on the plate through advanced hole processing technology. This new structure provides more stable support underneath the display when unfolded while retaining the flexibility needed to accommodate repeated folding.

Furthermore, by integrating a high-resolution architecture and next-generation organic materials, the new display delivers ultra-vivid display resolution while reducing power consumption — delivering a dramatic boost in overall power efficiency.

“By introducing sophisticated micro-patterned holes to the folding section of the titanium plate, we have successfully secured flexibility with robust durability,” said Kyung-Jin Yoo, EVP and Head of Mobile Display Product Development Team, Samsung Display. “Combining high-resolution display architecture with new organic materials that maximises power efficiency, we will further strengthen the competitiveness of next-generation Galaxy foldable devices.”

Together, these advancements enable a strong foldable display that maximises content immersion on a seamless screen and reduces crease visibility — all while keeping it slim. By balancing strength, flexibility and structural stability, Samsung continues to set the bar for foldable displays.

The new Flex Titanium technology will debut with Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy foldable devices. Further details will be unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Brings Together Super Steady Video with Horizontal Lock and Seamless Sharing

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 16 July 2026 – Today’s connected world means creating incredible content is only half the story. The other half is sharing it.

Whether it’s a concert clip, a family celebration, a rare moment, or an important work document, people expect their technology to help them capture, create, and share without limitations. Yet for years, one of the biggest frustrations facing smartphone users has been the divide between mobile ecosystems. Sharing high-quality content between Android and iOS devices has often meant relying on third-party applications, compressed files, reduced image quality, or unnecessary extra steps.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 is helping to change that. By combining powerful camera[1] innovation with seamless content sharing capabilities, Samsung is delivering an experience that puts the consumer first. The result is a smartphone experience that allows users to create stunning, stable content and share it instantly across platforms without compromising quality.

Available on the Galaxy S26, Super Steady Video[2] with Horizontal Lock brings advanced video stabilisation technology to more users than ever before. Powered by intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) processing and enhanced by the ultra-wide camera lens[3], Super Steady Video helps minimise unwanted motion and shake, allowing users to capture remarkably smooth footage even while moving through dynamic environments.

Whether you’re dancing at a weekend groove, recording a live performance at a concert, capturing action on a hiking trail, or documenting a family gathering, the feature works behind the scenes to deliver videos that feel polished, professional, and cinematic[4].

Horizontal Lock helps keep footage level and visually balanced throughout recording. By maintaining a straight horizon, users can create cleaner, more professional-looking videos without needing extensive editing afterwards. Together, these features ensure that every memory, every story, and every piece of content looks its absolute best.[5]

Creating beautiful content is important. Sharing it should be just as effortless. Today’s social circles are diverse. Families, friends, colleagues, and collaborators don’t all use the same devices. One person might use Android while another prefers iOS. Yet the moments they share belong to everyone.

That’s why Samsung has embraced a more connected approach to sharing. With AirDrop compatibility available on the Galaxy S26, users can transfer photos, videos, and documents directly to nearby Apple devices quickly and conveniently, helping remove barriers between ecosystems[6].

Imagine capturing well-stabilised footage at a music festival using Super Steady Video and Horizontal Lock. Moments later, you can share the original high-quality video directly with your friend using an iPhone sitting next to you. No messaging applications or complications.

For content creators, quality is everything. Every frame, every colour, every movement contributes to the final story. Creators invest significant effort into ensuring their content looks polished and professional, making it frustrating when sharing platforms or file transfers compromise the quality of their work.

With the Galaxy S26, creators can confidently record smooth footage using Samsung’s advanced camera technology¹ and then share it instantly while preserving the quality they worked so hard to achieve.

The benefits extend far beyond social media and lifestyle content. Modern professionals regularly collaborate across different devices and operating systems. Teams exchange presentations, contracts, spreadsheets, images, videos, and project files every day. By making cross-platform sharing easier, Samsung is helping streamline productivity for working professionals who need information to move quickly between Android and iOS devices.

The Galaxy S26 demonstrates Samsung’s vision for a more connected mobile experience by combining intelligent camera innovation with seamless sharing capabilities. Because the best content deserves to be shared, and the best experiences shouldn’t depend on what smartphone everyone else is carrying.

Mini LED M80H: The Ultimate AI-Powered Football Experience

Leading the new range is the Mini LED M80H, the flagship model designed to showcase Samsung’s latest AI-driven entertainment innovations.

The M80H features the new AI Football Mode⁴ (AI Soccer Mode), an artificially intelligent feature developed specifically to enhance football viewing experiences. Using real-time AI analysis, AI Football Mode automatically optimises both picture and sound settings when football content is detected.

This feature intelligently adjusts brightness, contrast and colour to ensure clearer visibility across the pitch while simultaneously remastering audio to recreate the atmosphere and excitement of the stadium. From fast-moving plays and dramatic goals to crowd reactions and commentary, every moment is enhanced to create a more immersive viewing experience.

As football continues to unite fans across South Africa and around the world, AI Football Mode demonstrates how Samsung is using artificial intelligence to make content more engaging, responsive and enjoyable in real time.

Mini LED M70H: Premium Mini LED Performance Within Reach

The Mini LED M70H brings many of the advantages of Samsung’s advanced Mini LED technology to consumers seeking an accessible entry point into the premium television category.

Delivering exceptional brightness, sharp detail and immersive picture quality, the M70H offers an outstanding entertainment experience across a wide range of content. Whether enjoying family movie nights, catching up on favourite shows or watching live sports, the M70H provides the performance and reliability consumers have come to expect from Samsung. By making advanced Mini LED technology available to more households, Samsung continues to expand access to premium viewing experiences without compromise.

The introduction of the Mini LED M70H and Mini LED M80H marks another significant milestone in Samsung’s ongoing television innovation journey. The new range reflects Samsung’s vision for a future where televisions do more than simply display content, but actively enhance, personalise and enrich every viewing experience.

Celebrating South Africa’s Youth with Confidence, Connection and Peace of Mind

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – June 2026 – Youth in South Africa have always been at the heart of change. They shape culture, influence trends and create communities. They fill concert venues, support artists, pack out sporting events, drive conversations online, and bring great energy everywhere. They are the generation constantly discovering new experiences, building connections, and creating memories.

As Samsung and the rest of South Africa celebrate Youth Month (June), young people continue to shape the future while recognising something equally important: that they deserve to feel safe while doing it.

That’s where Samsung SOS+[1]* comes in. More than just a smartphone feature, Samsung SOS+*, provided by AURA, is designed to be a safety companion that gives users access to help when they need it most. It provides users with access to safety and medical emergency response across the country[2]. Whether you’re heading to a party, meeting friends for a night out, attending a concert, or travelling across town for an event, Samsung SOS+* helps put support within reach. Because enjoying life and staying safe should go together.

For The Generation On The Move

Gen Z is a generation that thrives on experiences. From street culture and music festivals to food markets, creative showcases, campus events and weekend grooves, youth in South Africa are constantly exploring, connecting and participating in these moments. With movement comes responsibility, and sometimes uncertainty.

Late-night travel, unfamiliar locations, waiting for transport, or simply being alone in certain situations can leave one feeling vulnerable. Samsung SOS+*[3] was created to provide an added layer of reassurance during those moments. Picture this: You’re waiting for your e-hailing ride outside a venue after dark. The streets are quieter than they were an hour ago and your friends have already left. It’s a situation many young people have experienced. If you suspect any danger, Samsung SOS+* can be your go-to, and knowing that you have access to support through your Samsung device can provide valuable peace of mind.

Like A Guardian In Your Pocket

The reality is that safety concerns don’t always begin at the destination. Sometimes it’s the moments in between that matter most. It’s sitting alone in an e-hailing vehicle. It’s walking from the parking area to the venue (or vise versa). It’s heading home after a long evening with friends. It’s taking a shortcut you normally wouldn’t take. All in all, it’s finding yourself in a situation that doesn’t feel right.

These moments often happen unexpectedly, which is why having access to a safety solution already built into your daily life can make a meaningful difference. Samsung SOS+* acts as a trusted companion, quietly ready in the background while you focus on enjoying the moment.

Celebrating Youth Month with Confidence

Youth Month is a time to recognise the contributions, achievements and potential of young people in South Africa. It’s also a reminder that the future of the country walks its streets, fills its malls/campuses, supports its creative industries, and drives its culture daily. Young people should be able to embrace opportunities, attend celebrations, discover new experiences and create unforgettable memories with confidence.

Samsung believes technology should do more than connect people. It should help protect them too. As young people enjoy their activities across the country, Samsung SOS+* offers a practical way to support safer experiences without interrupting the freedom, spontaneity and excitement that define youth culture.

As the youth paint the town red by heading to concerts, attending celebrations, exploring new spaces and making memories, Samsung SOS+* exists for all those moments, to provide the reassurance they deserve and remind them that help is never far away.

[1] To activate, you must install the Samsung Members app, find the SOS+ banner, and register on the linked AURA platform to complete the process. After registration, it’s recommended to also download the separate Samsung SOS+ app and save the toll-free number for full access to the emergency response service. 

[2] AURA has partnered with the best private security & medical companies across South Africa to ensure that you have help wherever you may be. AURA has a live coverage map to see specifically where the services cover you based on your location. AURA currently covers all population centres including all major cities, towns and even certain informal settlements.

Samsung is bringing intelligent innovation and premium mobile experiences to more users with the recently launched Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G. As smartphones become increasingly central to how people create, connect, work and play, Samsung continues to make meaningful innovation more accessible, delivering powerful performance and advanced camera experiences. Samsung is continuing its mission to democratise innovation by bringing some of the most-loved Galaxy S series experiences to more people.

The new Galaxy A series devices are designed for people who want smarter, more intuitive mobile experiences without stepping into ultra-premium price territory. Whether it is managing busy schedules, creating social content, staying organised, or protecting personal memories, the Galaxy A57 and A37 make advanced mobile technology feel accessible, useful, and seamlessly woven into everyday life.

At the heart of this shift is Samsung’s approach to making flagship  features part of the mainstream smartphone experience.

Imagine sitting in a lecture, a brainstorming session, or a family meeting where ideas are flying across the room faster than fingers can type. With Voice Transcription, users can record conversations and convert speech into text in real time, helping students capture notes effortlessly, young professionals keep track of meetings, or content creators quickly turn ideas into captions and scripts. It transforms the smartphone into a practical productivity companion that works quietly in the background while life moves at full speed.

Photography and content creation have also become more intuitive with Object Eraser[1]. Everyday moments are rarely picture-perfect on the first try. A stranger photobombing an exquisite sunset photo, an unwanted sign in a travel snap, or clutter distracting from a carefully styled outfit can all be removed with a few taps. What once required advanced editing apps or desktop software can now happen directly on-device, giving users the freedom to create cleaner, more polished content instantly.

Then there is Circle to Search[2] with Google, a feature that feels almost futuristic in its simplicity. Users can simply circle an object, phrase, or image on their screen to instantly learn more about it without switching between apps. Spot a pair of sneakers you like on social media? Circle them to search. Watching a recipe video and curious about an ingredient? Circle it. It reduces the space between curiosity and discovery, making information feel more immediate and naturally integrated into how people already use their phones.

Samsung has also introduced upgraded Bixby[3] into the Galaxy A series experience, creating a more conversational and intelligent way to interact with your device. Instead of navigating endless menus, users can simply ask Bixby to set reminders, search for photos, manage schedules, or help control connected devices. In busy households, during commutes, or while multitasking through a packed day, it becomes a digital assistant that simplifies small but meaningful daily interactions.

Privacy, too, is becoming increasingly important in a world where smartphones carry deeply personal memories and sensitive information. Private Album offers users an added layer of security for photos and videos they want to keep separate from their main gallery. Whether it is important documents, family moments, creative projects, or personal memories, users have more control over what stays visible and what stays private.

What makes the Galaxy A57 and A37 particularly significant is not just the inclusion of these features, but what they represent. Samsung is narrowing the gap between flagship and mid-range experiences, ensuring that more users can enjoy intelligent, AI-powered mobile technology regardless of budget.

For many consumers, smartphones are now long-term lifestyle investments. People want devices that can keep pace with work, entertainment, creativity, and communication without compromise. By introducing premium-inspired functionality into the Galaxy A series, Samsung is reshaping expectations around what accessible smartphones should be capable of delivering.

The result is a mobile experience that feels smarter, more personal, and more empowering. One where innovation is no longer reserved for a select few, but designed to fit naturally into the lives of everyday users across South Africa.
