The New Year brings a sense of hope and opportunity for a fresh start. For many of us, this is the time to reflect on how we can become better versions of ourselves – whether in our career, health, personal development, or social lives.

Setting New Year’s Resolutions can be a good exercise towards creating a purpose-filled year ahead.

They don’t always need to be weighty goals, such as getting a master’s degree or running your first marathon. These could simply be about being more present with loved ones or taking the time to be healthier or more productive.

With Samsung’s diverse range of products – from the Galaxy Watch 4 series with advanced health tracking features, to the Neo QLED for family fun – you can equip yourself with the right tools to help you stay on track towards your goals, and more importantly, make the most out of the moments that matter the most.

Read on to learn how Samsung can help you make the most out of the year ahead with resolutions that are simple yet meaningful!

Spend quality time with the people that matter

With restrictions around social gatherings expected to ease, many of us are excited to reconnect with family and friends over outings and gatherings,

For those who miss hosting gatherings at home, make up for lost time by catching up over a few rounds of your favorite multiplayer Xbox or PlayStation games, on the cutting-edge display of the QN90A Neo QLED. With 4K gaming at a silky-smooth 120 frames per second with variable refresh rate, and auto low latency mode, the Neo QLED sets the stage for hours of exhilarating fun!

If you’re excited about making up for lost time with friends and family over outings, capture the best moments with the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G!

For the aspiring social media stars, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G provides the convenience and flexibility of taking hands-free selfies and videos. Whether you’re filming the latest TikTok dance or just taking a group selfie with friends while hiking, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G has got you covered as it can stand on its own without additional props.

Staying in the pink of health

Most of us would include some form of health or fitness-related goal in our list of resolutions. Afterall, health underpins our overall happiness and quality of life.

With the advanced tracking features on the Galaxy Watch4 Classic, which supports more than 90 exercises, you have an accurate and holistic view of your fitness progress over the months, letting you keep track of your progress and set realistic, and achievable goals – whether it’s a new personal best on the squat rack in the gym, or working towards a 5km run.

Of course, health isn’t just about being physically fit. Being able to access vital health data helps us affirm that we are reaping the benefits of regular exercise and healthy eating. To this end, the Galaxy Watch4 series takes remote health data to the next level, featuring a ground-breaking BioActive Sensor that reads blood oxygen level[1] and for the first time, calculates body composition[2]. These are crucial data that give us a better understanding of the overall state of our health.

Self-improvement and productivity 

Productivity will always be a priority at school and at work, whether we’re working remotely or physically present in an office or school. Regardless of your productivity goals, Samsung’s Smart Monitor promises something for everyone.

Fire up Samsung DeX[3] and connect your smartphone to your monitor to experience full mobile productivity – without a laptop in sight! Imagine coming across an interesting tutorial while taking the train on the way to school, and seamlessly resuming the lesson on the big screen.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is the perfect companion for those of us who are looking to be more productive at work by embracing the “work from anywhere” philosophy.

A mobile-working powerhouse, the Galaxy Fold3 5G features the Multi-Active Window[4], which unlocks next-level multi-tasking you never knew was possible in a smartphone – allowing you to open three apps simultaneously on a large 7.6-inch display.

Actualizing your resolutions

Regardless of whether you’re able to fully commit to the New Years’ Resolutions you set out at the start of the year, setting those goals and making a consistent effort to meeting them is half the battle won.

Samsung’s extensive suite of devices are designed to let you focus on the things that matter so you can bring out the best in yourself, whether for work or for play!

As a pioneer in the foldable category, Samsung continues to lead the industry in smartphone innovation and excellence. Since its debut in 2019, the Galaxy Z Fold series has redefined entertainment and productivity capabilities in a smartphone with its revolutionary form factor. The Galaxy Z Flip series has also gained a cult following since its launch. A fashion statement sure to turn heads, the Z Flip combines a chic, highly customizable design reminiscent of retro clamshell phones with Samsung Galaxy’s flagship features.

Setting a new standard for mobile experiences, the new foldable smartphones now feature stunning new color options and improved craftsmanship to reinforce device durability. This year, the Z Fold3 takes foldable technology to the next level, with the integration of S Pen[1] support for the first time on a foldable device. The device also features an uninterrupted 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display for efficient multi-tasking on the updated Multi-Active Window[2], which lets users see multiple apps at the same time, and via the new Taskbar[3] feature, which allows for easier app switching. Available in Phantom Black, Phantom Green and Phantom Silver, the Z Fold3 is truly a lean and mean productivity machine.

Meanwhile, the Z Flip3  comes equipped with new features, from expanded color options to stylish accessories such as ring grips and strap cases[4]. Aesthetics aside, the Z Flip3 also emphasizes convenience with a larger 1.9-inch[5] Cover Screen, which lets users view notifications, read messages and even make payments with Samsung Pay without even needing to flip open the device. The Z Flip3 is available in Cream, Green, Lavender, Phantom Black, Gray, Pink and White[6].

Offering the flexibility and versatility of seamless multitasking from any angle, the Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 are both equally compelling devices, so we don’t blame you for being torn for choice! Find out whether you are Team Galaxy Z Fold3 or Team Galaxy Z Flip3 with this quiz, and discover how each device can help complement your lifestyle and unlock new possibilities to what a smartphone can do.

For those who need the ultimate device for productivity and immersive entertainment, Galaxy Z Fold3 is a true multitasking powerhouse with next level performance, an undisrupted 7.6-inch[1] Infinity Flex Display, and the first ever S Pen[2] support on a foldable device. For those who want style that comes with function, Galaxy Z Flip3 is the ideal device with its sleek, compact, and pocketable design, enhanced camera features, and a larger Cover Screen[3] built for quick use on the go.

“With Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3, Samsung is once again redefining the possibilities with foldable smartphones that empower users with the flexibility and versatility needed for today’s fast-paced world,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “As a pioneer and industry leader in the foldable category, we’re proud to build on our legacy of innovation with the Z Fold3 and Z Flip3. These devices equip consumers with technologies that unlock new ways to maximize and enjoy every moment with an ecosystem built on openness and innovation.”

Craftsmanship Built to Last

Samsung users expect foldable devices that are built to last. That’s why this generation of Galaxy Z devices is built with unrivaled craftsmanship. For the first time ever on a foldable smartphone, Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 are equipped with IPX8[4] water resistance. Both devices are also built with our new Armor Aluminum on the frame and hinge cover—the strongest aluminum used on a Galaxy smartphone—along with tough Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus[5] to help protect against scratches and accidental drops. In addition, both devices include a new protective film made of stretchable PET[6] and optimised display panel layers resulting in a Main Screen that’s 80% more durable than previous devices[7].

Samsung continues its legacy of foldable leadership with rigorous processes to create devices that remain reliable after years of use. The revolutionary Hideaway Hinge, first introduced on Galaxy Z Flip, enables the devices to stay in place at any angle for innovative user experiences with Flex mode[8]. And thanks to enhanced Sweeper technology, the bristles inside the Hinge are now shorter, helping to repel dust and other particles and help maintain the devices’ durability and seamless user experiences. Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 were also put through a strenuous folding test, verified by Bureau Veritas, to withstand folding 200,000 times[9] . Plus, they’re equipped with the latest powerful 5nm AP and 5G[10] band compatibility for the best experience inside and out.

Galaxy Z Fold3 5G: Ultimate Productivity and Entertainment

Unfold Galaxy Z Fold3 to immerse yourself in theater-like viewing experiences and stay fully engaged in your favorite content on the uninterrupted 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display—thanks to our new Under display camera technology. With minimum pixels applied on top of the camera hole, Galaxy Z Fold3 features an increased viewable area so users get an unbroken canvas for their favorite apps. With the new Eco² display technology applied to the screen, it’s 29%[11] brighter while consuming less energy[12]. Experience even smoother scrolling and quick device interaction with the Super Smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate now on both the Main and Cover Screens.

For the first time ever on the Galaxy Z series, Samsung is bringing its beloved Note series technology to Galaxy Z Fold3—the S Pen functionality. Users can take advantage of fully optimized S Pen features on their foldable screen, which is a perfect fit for on-the-go multitaskers. On Galaxy Z Fold3’s massive Main Screen, it’s easier than ever for users to jot down notes during a video call or check off a to-do list while reading emails, and Galaxy Z Fold3 users can also power their creativity and productivity with our fan-favorite S Pen. S Pen for Galaxy Z Fold3 comes in two options: S Pen Fold Edition and S Pen Pro[13]. Both feature a specially engineered retractable Pro tip with force limit technology to protect Galaxy Z Fold3’s Main Screen for peace of mind while using the S Pen. This is Samsung’s best S Pen experience yet, with even lower latency for true-to-life composition—ensuring that notetaking and sending messages is seamless and intuitive.

Productivity seekers will also enjoy Galaxy Z Fold3’s enhanced Flex mode features, which let you do more at once, such as joining a video call on the device’s top screen while checking meeting notes on the bottom. With Galaxy Z Fold3’s updated Multi-Active Window[14], it’s even easier to make dinner plans over text while checking your calendar, all on the device’s large screen. And now on Galaxy Z Fold3, users can create a shortcut and reopen apps in the same way later thanks to enhanced App Pair. Plus, they can use Galaxy Z Fold3’s new Taskbar[15] to quickly switch between apps without returning to the Home screen.

Galaxy Z Fold3 is built with a sleeker, thinner, and lighter design for even better portability than Galaxy Z Fold2. It comes with a choice of three timeless colours: Phantom Black, Phantom Green, and Phantom Silver.

Galaxy Z Flip3 5G: The Ideal Balance of Style, Function, and Nonstop Fun

Galaxy Z Flip3 empowers users to express themselves with bold colour options, a sleek design, and premium features. With the choice of four trendy colours—Cream, Green, Lavender, and Phantom Black—plus new stylish ring grips and strap cases[16] that make it even easier to hold and fold the phone, Galaxy Z Flip3 is a device for true self-expression. For those in search of even more colour options to fit their style, Samsung.com carries exclusive colours, such as Grey, Pink, and White[17].

The redesigned Cover Screen is now four times larger[18] and makes it easier to view notifications and messages without having to open Galaxy Z Flip3. Users can keep up with their schedule, check the weather, and monitor their daily step count with new Cover Screen widgets or coordinate the Cover Screen wallpaper with their new Galaxy Watch4 or Galaxy Watch4 Classic for a matching look. And with Samsung Pay built directly into the Cover Screen, it’s never been easier to check out on-the-go at the local coffee shop.

Galaxy Z Flip3 is also crafted to give users the best capability for capturing and sharing memories. Packed with some of our latest camera features, users can take even more stunning selfies hands-free with Flex mode. Or they can keep the device folded and capture a quick photo—and now, even video—right from the Cover Screen using enhanced Quick Shot by double-clicking Galaxy Z Flip3’s power key. Plus, scrolling and sharing are super smooth, thanks to Galaxy Z Flip3’s new 120Hz adaptive refresh rate[19].

Galaxy Z Flip3 is great for relaxing and watching a YouTube vlog or a TV show hands-free. Thanks to Galaxy Z Flip3’s new, upgraded Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos®, you get immersive sound with incredible clarity, depth and spatial effects, no matter what you’re watching or listening to. And the new Flex Mode Panel feature makes apps look better and easier to use. When the device is partially folded, Flex Mode Panel gives you new ways to interact with Galaxy Z Flip3, offering a more convenient viewing experience by moving the video to the top half of the screen and the show’s controls—like brightness and volume—to the bottom half.

Optimised Foldable Experiences Open Up New Possibilities

With the Galaxy Z series, users will get access to more apps that take full advantage of the foldable screen. Samsung is expanding partnerships with leading companies like Google, Microsoft, and more, so users can enjoy more of their go-to apps tailored to their unique needs. Collaborate effectively with Microsoft Teams app: Enjoy optimised meeting experience adapting based on the Flex mode of your Galaxy Z series and the power of Office and Teams coming together. For the best productivity at work, Microsoft Outlook’s dual-pane mode for Samsung foldables enables users to read a full email while previewing others on the side, just like a desktop experience. To bring users even more choices, Samsung’s new Labs[20] feature offers users the ability to optimise even more apps to the foldable screen when they need it.

Furthermore, Samsung continues to rethink how app developers can create amazing user experiences from anywhere. To provide them with more options while ensuring high-quality optimization, Samsung supports Remote Test Lab (RTL)[21], giving app developers the ability to directly install and test their applications in real-time, from wherever they are.

Galaxy Buds2: Buds for everyone with incredible sound and comfortable fit

Joining the Galaxy Z Series are Galaxy Buds2 – designed for a comfortable fit made to be worn all day and provide amazing sound quality so you can immerse yourself in the moment, wherever you are. As one of the latest additions to the Galaxy Buds lineup, Galaxy Buds2 join the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds Pro, providing more choices to consumers to fit their needs. As a part of the Galaxy ecosystem, Galaxy Buds2 make the perfect companion to your Galaxy smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch.

Whether you use your Galaxy Buds2 to listen to music or dial into a conference call, you’ve got all the features you need to immerse in yourself in your own world. The dynamic two-way speakers deliver crisp, clear high notes and a deep bass, while Active Noise Cancellation helps block out unwanted noise. If you need to hear your surroundings, simply tune back in with three adjustable ambient sound levels[22]. And now your voice will be clearer on calls, thanks to a new, machine learning-based solution that is designed to filter out a variety of distracting background noises.

Galaxy Buds2 are Samsung’s smallest and lightest earbuds yet boasting an iconic curved shape. For a more perfect fit, we’ve developed the ‘Earbud fit test’ in Galaxy Wearable app. Choose from four contemporary colours[23] —graphite, white, olive and lavender—to show off your personal style, and complete the package with third-party accessory cases[24].
