Samsung Electronics Australia has today launched Clash of Commuters, a new experience that offers gamers the opportunity to play a uniquely Australian and public transport inspired map in Fortnite Creative[3], featuring national icons from the humble Bin Chicken to a Sydney train.

With 44% of Aussie gamers admitting they game while commuting to pass the time, the Clash of Commuters map enables players to experience an all-new Fortnite Creative island and allows them to defend the very thing that they commonly game on; Australian public transport.

From 2 May to 30 May, players will also have the opportunity to win Samsung swag IRL by participating in the Clash of Commuters competition[4]. Gamers will need to defend an Aussie public bus across 5 checkpoints as it meanders through a dystopian Australian commute, complete with bin chickens, servos and caffeine-starved commuters, for their chance to win. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, with its realistic graphics, lifelike visuals, and  Samsung’s most powerful chipset to date, has been designed to meet the high performance demands of gamers. These devices will be hidden throughout the map, with players able to unlock special bonuses if they find them.

The player who completes all five rounds of the Clash of Commuters campaign in the shortest amount of time (The Shortest Haul) will be eligible to win a Samsung gaming pack worth over $8,000, which includes a 55” QN90D NEO QLED TV, 57” Odyssey Neo G95NC Curved Monitor, Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy Buds2 Pro. There will also be additional prize packs for the fastest player to complete the campaign on a mobile device (The Ultimate On-The-Go Gamer), the most side quest phones acquired (Seat Scavenger), as well as four winners drawn at random from all completed time submissions (Regular Riders).

Recent research conducted by Samsung Electronics Australia sheds light on the preferences of Aussie gamers, with 48% listing smartphones as the device they game on most frequently, surpassing consoles (26%), desktops and laptops (24%), and other devices (3%). Moreover, for over 55% of Australian gamers, gaming serves as a means of relaxation, with one-third saying they game as a means of de-stressing.

Nathan Rigger, Head of Product & Services Mobile at Samsung Australia, said: “More than ever before, Australians are looking to their smartphones for entertainment and as an escape from the daily grind, and gaming is a great way to tick both of those boxes. With advanced ray-tracing features and a bigger[5] vapour cooling chamber, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is optimised to create a seamless gaming experience, allowing Australians to keep up with their favourite games, regardless if they are at home, or on the go.”   

In Melbourne and Sydney, Samsung will be bringing the Clash of Commuters map to life and giving everyday Australians a chance to experience game play on the Galaxy S24 Ultra at interactive pop-up activations. Players and passers-by will be able to explore a post-apocalyptic public transport world and play the new map at Sydney’s Parramatta Square from Saturday 4 May to Wednesday 8 May, before the activation heads over to Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station from Saturday 11 May through Wednesday 15 May.

Activation opening times:

• Parramatta Square, NSW: 4 to 8 May, 11am to 7pm daily
• Southern Cross Station, VIC: 11 May to 15 May, 11am to 7pm daily

Can already-great devices be improved upon further?

With the aim to deliver world-class technology to make people’s lives even better, Samsung now brings the premium capabilities of the Galaxy S21 series to even more people with the latest addition to the family, the new Galaxy S21 FE 5G. The well-rounded smartphone empowers students and young working professionals to make the most of school, work and play, all day and every day.

Read on to find out how the Galaxy S21 FE 5G is the ideal daily companion with its powerful performance, pro-grade camera, and iconic eye-catching design.

8:00 AM: Fuel up for the day ahead

The start of a day, a blank slate, a fresh beginning. Whether traveling to your workplace, school, or just taking on the to-dos for the day from home, you deserve to start the day off on the right foot.

For example, if you would like to slip in some quick entertainment while on your morning coffee run, with the reliable performance on the Galaxy S21 FE 5G, you can game, stream, and watch across all your favourite apps, as well as virtually connect with friends and family on the go.

Part of the Galaxy family, this device offers seamless connectivity across the Galaxy ecosystem. During early commutes, pair the Galaxy S21 FE 5G with your trusty Galaxy Buds2 to listen to the thumping bass of your favourite song that gets you revved up the same way caffeine gets you going in the morning, or even for your daily dose of TikTok.

9:00 AM: Productivity is the name of the game

As students and young professionals begin to settle into the day’s tasks, whether it’s a Zoom lecture or face-to-face meeting, ensuring the day is productive will likely be top of mind.

Use the Galaxy S21 FE 5G to concurrently run the productivity apps you rely on daily, such as Evernote, Forest, Zoom and, of course, your email. The lightning-fast 5nm 64-bit Octa-Core Processor[1] ensures all your apps run smoothly, so you can focus on getting things done.

12:00 PM: Catch up on what you’ve missed on social media

As much as lunch time is for quelling those hunger pangs, it is also a break from the day’s work, and a chance for you to recalibrate before getting back to business.

If you are on campus with friends, you may be toying with the idea of roping them in for your own rendition of the Helikopter trend on TikTok. The pro-grade camera on the Galaxy S21 FE 5G does all the heavy lifting, letting you effortlessly capture and edit the reel to share on your social media channels. Or if you’re celebrating a colleague’s birthday over lunch, gather your team members and snap a selfie with the Galaxy S21 FE 5G’s advanced 32MP front camera and AI Face Restoration that helps everyone look their best. It’s no wonder the innovative camera is a fan-favourite of the Galaxy S21 experience.

Even if you identify more as a consumer of content on social media rather than a creator, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G delivers a super smooth and fast viewing experience with its 120Hz refresh rate and high-resolution 6.4-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display[2], so you don’t miss a single second of the action.

5:00 PM: Take a break from work or school

When the sun is about to set and you are wrapping up for the day, chances are that your Galaxy S21 FE 5G is still juiced up with its long-lasting all-day battery[3]. If you need a quick top-up before heading

out for an after-work meal with your colleagues, Super Fast charging lets you charge the phone’s battery by more than 50% in just 30 minutes[4].

This means that you can continue to binge on all the shows you want to your heart’s content on the Galaxy S21 FE 5G after dinner, and if you are more of a mobile gamer, you can enjoy stunning, lag-free gaming graphics with lightning-fast 240Hz touch response rate[5], powered by the 5nm 64-bit Octa-Core Processor[6].

The Galaxy S21 FE 5G, an ideal and trusted daily companion

Rest assured that your device is well-defended by the Samsung Knox platform, which can detect cyber risks and protect your valuable personal data at all times. The Galaxy S21 FE 5G also features Private Share[7], which allows you to share pictures and videos with loved ones and friends, determine how long they can have access, and even take back the content if you change your mind.

Available in four fresh colour options — Olive, Lavender, White and Graphite — all of which include a stylish haze finish, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G offers the fan-favourite aspects of Galaxy S21 flagship experience to a wider group of consumers and gives users even more ways to express themselves while staying on top of the day’s activities.

Samsung Electronics today announced the launch of its next-generation earbuds: Galaxy Buds Pro. These earbuds feature immersive sound, superior call quality, intelligent ANC and enhanced connectivity across your devices – all packed into a modern and sleek design. Galaxy Buds Pro represent Samsung’s most premium earbuds offering to date, built to help you get the most out of your work, entertainment, and everything in between.

“As people look for technology that helps them adapt to new routines and lifestyles, the market for true wireless earbuds has expanded substantially, and consumer expectations have risen,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “With Galaxy Buds Pro, we’re making a big statement with a small device, offering users a one-of-a-kind audio experience that makes even everyday tasks truly epic.”

Unparalleled Sound & Call Quality

A premium earbuds experience always starts with sound. Whether you use your earbuds to play music on a run or listen to podcasts on the way to work, audio quality is what matters most. Galaxy Buds Pro offer a more comprehensive sound, sporting an 11-millimeter woofer for deeper bass and a 6.5-millimeter tweeter for a crisp treble with minimum distortion. This delivers Samsung’s best audio experience yet – a dynamic, balanced sound. So, whether it’s a rhythmic hip hop groove or intricate classical melody, you can enjoy your music just as the artist intended, anytime and anywhere.

But earbuds aren’t just for entertainment anymore – they’ve become crucial for work communication, and call quality is more important than ever. Galaxy Buds Pro separate your voice from unwanted sounds with three microphones and a Voice Pickup Unit (VPU), ensuring you are heard as clearly as possible. One of the outer microphones also has a high signal-to-noise ratio(SNR), further eliminating background noises. In addition, Samsung has integrated its new Wind Shield technology into Galaxy Buds Pro. While a less protrusive shape minimizes the wind contact area, a specially designed chamber and mesh filters out wind interference. Your phone calls have never been clearer, even if you’re stuck in windy weather.

Most Intelligent ANC on True Wireless Earbuds

The Galaxy Buds Pro experience is about hearing more of what you love, and less of what you don’t. That’s why Galaxy Buds Pro have the most intelligent ANC capabilities of any true wireless earbuds.¹ When you need to focus on work – or tune out from the world around to relax – you can reduce the background noise by up to 99 percent,² fine-tuning to your preferred level. And with Ambient Sound, you can choose to amplify nearby sounds by more than 20 decibels, meaning you can adjust and personalize according to your needs. This feature is ideal for busy multitaskers – those working from home while looking after a child or those who want to take a run through the city while staying alert for oncoming traffic.

What’s more, ANC and Ambient Sound automatically work together, adapting to your surroundings, to optimize your audio experience. Galaxy Buds Pro recognize when you’re speaking, and they can automatically switch between canceling nearby sounds and amplifying them.³ They will also turn down your music when you want to talk, even if you are using Ambient Sound or have ANC turned off. This technology allows you to hear and communicate more effectively and makes Galaxy Buds Pro the perfect tool for daily use.

An Even More Seamless Galaxy Experience

Galaxy Buds Pro are an integral extension of the Galaxy ecosystem – our most seamless earbuds yet. Now, you can automatically toggle your earbuds connection between your Galaxy smartphones and tablets based on your usage – no manual adjustments required.⁴ For example, if you’re watching a video on your Galaxy Tab S7 and then receive a call on your Galaxy S21, the all-new Auto Switch feature will pause the video and let you answer the phone using Galaxy Buds Pro. Once the call is over, your earbuds instantly switch back to your tablet; the video plays again, and you can hear the audio through your earbuds again.

Galaxy Buds Pro also expand your audio experience by connecting with other Galaxy devices – especially Galaxy S21. You can enjoy realistic and immersive sound on your Galaxy Buds Pro, wherever you go with the 360 Audio featuring Dolby Head Tracking technology,⁵ which enables you to stay at the center of the scene. For vloggers, you can clearly capture your voice and surrounding sound by synchronizing the mics on your Galaxy Buds Pro and Galaxy S21. Galaxy Buds Pro also boast Game Mode, so when reduced audio latency is paired with Galaxy S21’s powerful performance and immersive display, you can take your gaming experience to the next level.

No matter how you use your Galaxy Buds Pro, you can do so without worrying about battery life. When fully charged, you get up to 8 hours of playback, with an additional 20 hours of reserve power available in the wireless charging case. Even when using ANC, you can still enjoy 5 hours of playback with 13 hours more available in the case.⁶ If you end up running out of juice, you can gain one hour of playtime after just five minutes of quick charging.⁷

New Stylish & Purposeful Design

Galaxy Buds Pro aren’t just great to use, they also look great. Taking inspiration from Galaxy Buds Live’s innovative and iconic shape, Galaxy Buds Pro feature an updated, more ergonomic form factor. The shape of the canal-type earbuds improves sound quality, plus it looks less protrusive and more natural when in your ears. This new design also reduces the contact area between your ear and the bud, improving comfort and minimizing a clogged-up feeling.

In addition, Galaxy Buds Pro are designed to give you added peace of mind. They are protected with an IPX7 water resistance rating,⁸ the highest standard of water resistance in the Galaxy Buds line. And now, worrying about losing an earbud is a thing of the past. SmartThings Find can easily locate either of your earbuds, even when they’re out of Bluetooth^® range or completely out of sight, misplaced at a distant location.⁹ Galaxy Buds Pro were also built to help cut down on waste – using 20 percent environmentally conscious Post-Consumer Materials (PCM).

Availability

Galaxy Buds Pro come in three stunning colors: timeless Phantom Black and Phantom Silver, and an incredible Phantom Violet¹⁰ to match with your Galaxy S21. Galaxy Buds Pro will be available in select markets starting from January 15^th.
