<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, the latest Galaxy A series devices that bring Samsung’s newest mobile innovations — including enriched Awesome Intelligence<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> — to more users worldwide. The latest Galaxy A series reflects Samsung’s commitment to expanding AI capabilities across more devices and empowering more users to harness the power of intuitive AI that simplifies everyday tasks. Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G strengthen the experiences users rely on every day with upgrades to performance, camera and display, alongside durability and security features. With up to six generations of OS upgrades and long-term security support, the new Galaxy A series is built to perform. Leading the lineup is Galaxy A57 5G, featuring a slimmer, more refined design and upgraded AI-powered capabilities compared to previous generations, that make it the most powerful Galaxy A series device yet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The new Galaxy A series reflects our continued commitment to AI democratisation by bringing the latest innovations to more Galaxy users,” said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “With Samsung’s fundamental capabilities combined with enriched Awesome Intelligence, Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G will deliver reliable everyday performance to users around the world and drive rapid AI expansion.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Enriched Awesome Intelligence Designed for Everyday Life</u></strong></p>
<p>Through the latest One UI 8.5, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G extend Samsung’s latest AI innovations to more users, with Awesome Intelligence that helps people get more things done with ease while unlocking new ways to create and stay productive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Voice Transcription</strong> is new to the Voice Recorder app, making it easier to revisit important details from meetings, lectures or calls by quickly transcribing and translating call recordings or turning voicemail audio into text. <strong>AI Select<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a></strong> is easier to access with a long press on the Edge Panel, surfacing relevant actions directly on the screen to extract text or create content without manually selecting items. AI Select also supports Drag &amp; Drop in Multi-Window layout, allowing users to easily move images into Samsung Notes or Photo Editor for faster editing and improved productivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Awesome Intelligence makes everyday photo editing easier than ever. <strong>Object Eraser<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> </strong>now delivers more natural results when removing unwanted distractions, like a passerby in the background or clutter in a café. On Galaxy A57 5G, <strong>Best Face<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a> </strong>supports more photos and continuous shooting, making it easier to capture the perfect group photos where everyone looks their best. Fan favorite tools like <strong>Filters</strong> and <strong>Edit Suggestions<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a></strong> help users quickly refine and share moments without extra effort, while Galaxy A57 5G also features <strong>Auto Trim<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a></strong> for even easier video editing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Circle to Search with Google<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a> </strong>adds multi-object recognition so users can easily explore multiple items in an image at once — from an outfit to surrounding accessories — all in one search.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Galaxy A series expands Awesome Intelligence experiences with a choice of agents designed to simplify everyday tasks from search to organising plans or easily adjusting settings. As a conversational device agent, upgraded <strong>Bixby<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a></strong> lets users intuitively control Galaxy settings and features using natural language, while <strong>Gemini<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span>[9]</span></a></strong> navigates complex tasks across native Galaxy apps and select third-party apps to support faster, more intuitive interactions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Awesome Camera to Capture Clearer Photos and Videos, Day or Night</u></strong></p>
<p>As AI becomes more deeply integrated into mobile experiences, camera performance remains essential to delivering the everyday usability and satisfaction users expect.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G deliver bright, clear visuals powered by the upgraded camera hardware and an improved Image Signal Processor (ISP).<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a> The devices feature a versatile triple-camera system, led by a 50MP main sensor<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a>, delivering sharp, detailed images across a wide range of lighting conditions without the need for manual adjustments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When the lights go down, the Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G camera adapts seamlessly with <strong>Nightography<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a></strong>, capturing clear and true-to-life photos and videos even in low light conditions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G takes photography a step further with enhanced image processing that sharpens detail and reduces noise for even clearer, more vibrant results. It delivers rich contrast and balanced color even in challenging light, while with a fast shutter speed, users can instantly capture fleeting moments faster and with improved clarity.<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G also benefit from AI-based subject recognition and scene optimisation to balance portraits, preserve natural skin tones and create clearer background separation. When the moment calls for a wider perspective, the ultra-wide lens captures more in every group photo or landscape view, while the 5MP macro camera reveals fine details up close for added creative flexibility.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Performance for Streaming and Multitasking</u></strong></p>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G delivers the best of both design and performance<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a> to deliver incredible performance with its sleek and light form. Built for smooth streaming, scrolling and content creation, its refined design features a glossy finish and distinctive triple-camera island for a standout modern look that feels comfortable in-hand.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite its slimmer profile, Galaxy A57 5G packs powerful performance. Its 5,000mAh<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span>[15]</span></a> battery supports up to two days of use<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span>[16]</span></a> — powering everything from filming and editing to viewing on the go. Super Fast Charging 2.0 allows for a quick boost before heading out, while the larger vapor chamber<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><span>[17]</span></a> helps sustain performance during extended gaming or recording. Slimmer bezels and a bright <strong>Super AMOLED +</strong> display on Galaxy A57 5G and <strong>Vision Booster</strong> ensure an immersive, clear viewing experience indoors and outside.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Built for everyday use, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G are tested against IP68 standards<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><span>[18]</span></a> for water and dust resistance, offering users peace of mind when accidents happen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Long-Term Support and Foundational Security</u></strong></p>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G reinforce Samsung’s commitment to device longevity, offering up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades, along with up to six years of security updates<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><span>[19]</span></a> – giving users the confidence to rely on their device for years to come.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung provides an added layer of device safety, transparency and user choice with <strong>Knox Vault</strong><a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><span><strong>[20]</strong></span></a>, a hardware-based security solution. Galaxy A series offers users holistic protection through innovative security and privacy features including Security &amp; Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Private Sharing, Theft Protection as well as the new <strong>Private Album</strong>, a Gallery feature that allows users to lock away personal media quickly and easily. Unlike traditional safeguards, the latest A series devices also <strong><em>proactively</em> </strong>notify users about potential risks with <strong>Privacy Alerts</strong>, that offer clearer insight and control over location permissions or suspicious monitoring of sensitive data. Together, these enhancements make security feel as intuitive as the rest of the experience, making device protection easier than ever for everyone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Parental Controls and Samsung Kids</u></strong></p>
<p>For parents looking to purchase a phone for their kids or teens, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G boast the same robust <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/apps/galaxy-for-families/">parental controls</a></span> found on flagship Samsung phones that allow them to set rules for how Galaxy devices are used, creating a safe and age-appropriate experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Parental controls can be accessed via the mobile’s Settings, allowing parents to prevent younger users from accessing particular online content, apps and media; as well as limiting screen time and app usage. <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/apps/samsung-kids/">Samsung Kids</a></span>, which can be accessed from the Quick Setting panel, turns your Galaxy A57and A37 into a child-friendly zone and offers a wide range of educational and entertainment activities, games and more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Availability</u></strong></p>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G will be offered in Awesome Navy and Awesome Lilac<a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21"><span>[21]</span></a> and available from $749 and $849 for 128GB and 256GB respectively.  Galaxy A37 5G comes in Awesome Lavender and Awesome Charcoal<a href="#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22"><span>[22]</span></a> From $599 for 128GB.

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the global and Australian availability of the <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/samsung-unveils-galaxy-s26-series-the-most-intuitive-galaxy-ai-phone-yet">Galaxy S26 series</a></span> and the <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/samsung-unveils-galaxy-buds4-series-ultimate-hi-fi-sound-with-enhanced-comfort-and-fit">Galaxy Buds4 series</a></span>. As Samsung’s third generation of AI phones, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 deliver the most intuitive and proactive Galaxy AI<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span>[1]</span></a> experiences yet, helping users accomplish more with fewer steps. Following Galaxy Unpacked, the newly launched Galaxy S26 series has generated exceptional early demand, with initial global pre-order figures surpassing previous records and marking a double-digit increase. The premium Galaxy S26 Ultra has quickly become the standout model, selected by more than 70% of pre-order customers worldwide.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy S26 Ultra: Where Innovation Leads</strong></h3>
<p><strong><u><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7647" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Launch_1-751x563.jpg" alt="" width="751" height="563" /></u></strong></p>
<p><em>Galaxy S26 Ultra in Cobalt Violet</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra brings together Samsung’s most advanced innovation in a single device – powerful performance, an industry-leading camera system, enhanced intuitive Galaxy AI and the Galaxy’s first mobile phone with a built-in Privacy Display<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span>[2]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Privacy Display, </strong>which has drawn widespread praise since its unveiling, is a breakthrough in display technology that fundamentally changes how privacy can be protected on a phone at a pixel level. Designed for everyday situations, hardware and software are working as one to protect privacy without compromising everyday viewing experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Built for all-day performance, Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers the most powerful performance on a Galaxy S series yet, powered by a customised mobile processor — <strong>Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span>[3]</span></a></strong> — with significant gains<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span>[4]</span></a> across the CPU, GPU and NPU to support faster, smoother experiences that keep up throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra also features Samsung’s most intuitive and user-friendly AI experience to date. Features like <strong>Now Nudge<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span>[5]</span></a></strong> provide proactive and relevant context-aware suggestions, while <strong>Now Brief<a href="#_edn6" name="_ednref6"><span>[6]</span></a></strong> surfaces timely reminders for important events. A choice of agents<a href="#_edn7" name="_ednref7"><span>[7]</span></a> also help users to complete tasks easier with a single button press or voice prompt.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra builds on Samsung’s industry-leading camera system, seamlessly integrating capture, editing and sharing into one intuitive workflow. <strong>Nightography video</strong>,<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8"><span><strong>[8]</strong></span></a> keeps footage vibrant even in low light, and <strong>Super Steady</strong>,<strong> <a href="#_edn9" name="_ednref9"><span>[9]</span></a> </strong>which comes with a new horizontal lock option for greater stability, even during dynamic movement. Editing is just as easy and straight forward. With the upgraded <strong>Photo Assist</strong>,<a href="#_edn10" name="_ednref10"><span><strong>[10]</strong></span></a> users can refine images and express their creativity by simply describing what they want in their own words, while <strong>Creative Studio<a href="#_edn11" name="_ednref11"><span>[11]</span></a></strong> empowers users to easily turn their ideas into polished visuals — from stickers and invitations to personalised wallpapers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy Buds4 series: Superior Hi-Fi Sound with Computationally Designed Fit</strong></h3>
<p><strong><u><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7648" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Launch_2-751x563.jpg" alt="" width="751" height="563" /></u></strong></p>
<p><em>Galaxy Buds4 Pro in White</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Users can enhance the capabilities of the Galaxy S26 with the new Galaxy Buds4 series which integrated Samsung’s most advanced audio and wearability innovations together in one seamless experience.

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-7608" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/25_Galaxy-Buds4-Pro_Family_v1-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="768" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/25_Galaxy-Buds4-Pro_Family_v1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/25_Galaxy-Buds4-Pro_Family_v1-751x563.jpg 751w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/25_Galaxy-Buds4-Pro_Family_v1-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced its latest<strong> Galaxy Buds4 Pro </strong>and <strong>Galaxy Buds4</strong>, redefining what premium earbuds can deliver in both superior hi-fi audio and everyday wearability. Built to sound as good as they feel, the Galaxy Buds4 series pairs <strong>incredible sound quality with a more refined, computationally designed fit</strong>, bringing Samsung’s most advanced audio and wearability innovations together in one seamless experience. For the first time, Buds4 Pro features a <strong>wider woofer</strong>, combined with <strong>enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a></strong> and a state-of-the-art <strong>enhanced Adaptive Equaliser(EQ)</strong>, to help supply <strong>full-spectrum sound as true to the original recording </strong>— while intelligently adapting to real-world conditions. Thoughtful design updates, intuitive hands-free controls, and deeper AI integration further underscore Samsung’s commitment to earbuds designed for how people listen, move, and live throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung understands that a truly premium audio experience combines technical sound quality with how that sound feels throughout a user&#8217;s day,” said Ikhyun Cho, Corporate VP of Mobile Enhancement R&amp;D Team, Mobile eXperience. “With the Galaxy Buds4 series, our design philosophy was <strong>uncompromising, providing</strong> all-day comfort <strong>without sacrificing</strong> audio performance, because these are what consumers value most. We engineered our most powerful hi-fi audio and our most secure, ergonomic fit to enhance one another, delivering the <strong>best and most satisfying listening experience we’ve ever created</strong>.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Computational Design </strong><strong>Optimised for</strong><strong> Enhanced Stability and </strong><strong>All-Day </strong><strong>Comfort</strong></h3>
<p>With the Buds4 series, Samsung has established a <strong>computational design</strong> based on more than hundreds of millions of<strong> global ear data points</strong> and <strong>over 10,000 simulations</strong><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>. The Buds4 series features an <strong>ultra-sleek, ergonomic fit</strong> with smaller<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a>, better-fitting earbud heads to deliver a more secure, comfortable experience during all-day wear. The new stabilised blade includes a premium metal finish and an engraved pinch control<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a> area designed to help users easily locate and adjust settings. The new, transparent, clamshell-type cradle makes storage and charging more intuitive and convenient— while also highlighting the refined blade design to deliver a stylish, high-quality listening experience on the go.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 offer distinct design architectures to meet different needs. Galaxy Buds4 Pro features a canal fit design that combines ultimate sound with maximum functionality. The open-fit design of Galaxy Buds4 delivers a comfortable, user-friendly audio experience. Customers also have the option to choose from several distinct colourways. Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 are available in White and Black with a refined matte finish, as well as an online-exclusive Pink Gold for Buds4 Pro, only available on <a href="samsung.com/au">Samsung.com/au</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Superior Hi-Fi Sound With Innovative Hardware Updates</strong></h3>
<p>Larger speakers offer better sound quality, and Buds4 Pro introduces a new wider <strong>woofer</strong>, featuring a new design that helps to make efficient use of space. By maximising the vibration area and minimising the speaker’s edge, the wider woofer increases the effective speaker area by almost 20%<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a>. Combined with the <strong>tweeter</strong>, these features deliver natural, immersive audio with clean bass and rich treble that supports 24-bit/96kHz audio<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a> — ultimately delivering high-fidelity sound as true to the original recording. These enhancements capture everything from the high, resonant sounds of violins to the deep, throaty pulses of double basses — details that were difficult to reproduce in earlier generations. Also, the outer microphone is strategically placed on the upper side of the metal finish to maximise Active Noise Cancellation functionality while minimising feedback from wind and other external factors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Maximised Audio Experiences With Enhanced Adaptive EQ and ANC</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy Buds4 series offers software updates that build on powerful adaptive sound capabilities users have come to love in previous Buds generations. <strong>Enhanced ANC</strong> is designed to tune out noise from heavy transit sounds to everyday background noise, helping to ensure an immersive audio experience that adapts to changing environments. For example, when commuting on a bus, train or airplane, Buds4’s enhanced Active Noise Cancelling reduces low-frequency engine and road noise while maintaining rich, balanced sound — allowing users to focus on music, podcasts or calls without distraction.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Enhanced Adaptive</strong> <strong>ANC/EQ</strong><a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a> allows for full media immersion, minimising noise leakage by analysing the wearing conditions and unique ear shape of each user. Alongside dynamic frequency adjustments, this feature applies optimal ANC algorithms in real-time for peak noise-cancelling performance so users can enjoy fine-tuned sound experiences tailored to their individual needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When it’s time to make a phone call, <strong>Super Clear Call</strong><a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a> utilises super wideband call technology to provide ultra-clear call quality and double the bandwidth of conventional Bluetooth calls. Whether users are cheering at a baseball game, dining in a bustling restaurant or spending time with their children at the playground, their voice remains crisp and clear, ensuring they sound as if they were speaking face-to-face.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>An Enriched Galaxy Ecosystem Experience</strong></h3>
<p>For Galaxy users, the Buds4 series introduces integrations that enhance the Galaxy ecosystem experience. Users can initiate AI agents<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span>[9]</span></a> — including Bixby<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a>, Gemini<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a> and Perplexity<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a> — with hands-free and voice controls, helping users stay engaged with their surroundings while maintaining control over their audio experience. Buds4 Pro allows users to access AI features without reaching for their phones, making it easier than ever to integrate AI into their everyday routines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy ecosystem users can enjoy simple Buds setup.<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a> Just by opening the cradle — without having to install the Galaxy Wearable app — Galaxy users can easily connect their Buds to their phone or tablet. Through the Buds shortcut menu or in the Quick Panel, users can control and customise the volume or EQ for the optimal sound experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Buds4 Pro also includes <strong>Head Gesture</strong><a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a> controls to manage calls and engage with Bixby, allowing users to perform subsequent actions hands-free. Along with voice commands, hands-free controls such as these allow users to navigate their day without distraction, ensuring their daily activities remain seamless and uninterrupted.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Availability</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy Buds4 series is available for pre-order in Australia starting today, with general availability starting March 11.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Galaxy S26 series, powered by the most intuitive, proactive and adaptive Galaxy AI<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> experiences yet and designed to simplify the tasks people do on their phones every day. From managing plans and finding information to capturing and refining content, Galaxy S26 reduces the effort and number of steps required to get things done. As Samsung’s third-generation AI phones, Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra handle complex tasks in the background, allowing users to focus on results rather than how the technology works.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S26 series was engineered with Samsung’s most advanced capabilities working together as one: incredible performance, an industry-leading camera system and Galaxy AI. This provides a strong foundation that gives Galaxy S26 users the confidence to depend on their phone throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building on Samsung&#8217;s decades of innovation in display technology, Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces the Galaxy’s first built-in Privacy Display for mobile phones to unlock a new class of display experiences and reinforce Samsung&#8217;s commitment to privacy at a pixel level<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>. Galaxy S26 Ultra also delivers a customised chipset and upgraded thermal management that enable faster and more powerful AI — all wrapped up in the slimmest Ultra yet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, these choices allow the Galaxy S26 series to deliver the most powerful Galaxy experience yet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We believe AI should be something people can depend on every day, designed to work consistently for everyone and without the need for expertise,” said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “With the Galaxy S26 series, we focused on making AI feel effortless, working quietly in the background so people can focus on what matters.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Powerful Performance Designed Around Everyday Use</strong></h3>
<p>Engineered for all-day performance, the Galaxy S26 series is built on the most powerful hardware ever on a Galaxy S series. Across the line-up, the Galaxy S26 series is engineered for AI performance, power efficiency and thermal management, ensuring demanding tasks run smoothly and consistently, so users can rely on their device when it matters.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Galaxy S26 Ultra, a customised mobile processor — <strong>Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy</strong><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><strong>[3]</strong></span></a> — delivers the best performance ever in its class with significant gains across CPU, GPU, and NPU to support faster, smoother experiences that keep up throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A CPU performance increase<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a> means Galaxy S26 Ultra responds more quickly and handle complex workloads intelligently, even when multiple tasks are running at once. An improvement in NPU performance powers always-on Galaxy AI features that run seamlessly, allowing users to move between tasks without lag or interruption. A boost in GPU performance delivers richer visuals and more fluid gameplay.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To sustain this level of performance, Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces <strong>a redesigned Vapour Chamber</strong> with thermal interface material positioned along the sides of the processor, allowing heat to spread more efficiently across a larger surface area. This improves<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a> heat dissipation to keep the device cool and consistent, even during demanding activities such as gaming, multitasking and video capture. To support all-day use<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a>, Galaxy S26 Ultra also brings <strong>Super-Fast Charging 3.0</strong>, allowing for a faster charge.<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Embedded into the processor, Samsung’s proprietary technologies enhance visual performance. <strong>ProScaler<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a></strong> improves image scaling so photos and videos appear richer and clearer at a glance by sharpening text and fine detail while smoothing textures. Additionally, <strong>Samsung’s mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) </strong>delivers more subtle and lifelike colours thanks to image processing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Taken together, these advancements deliver dependable all-day performance, making every action feel effortless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy’s Industry-Leading Camera System</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy S26 series brings the same focus on intuitive interaction to creativity and productivity, delivered through the best Galaxy camera system. With an approach that integrates capturing stunning photos and videos, editing and sharing into a single, seamless experience, creativity feels more natural and accessible even without professional tools or technical knowledge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Galaxy S26 Ultra, wider camera apertures<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span>[9]</span></a> allow more light to reach the sensor, delivering clearer photos with richer details in low-light conditions, even when zoomed in. <strong>Enhanced Nightography Video<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a></strong> keeps footage clearer and more vibrant even in dim scenes, whether capturing concerts indoors or recording moments around a campfire after sunset. Video capture is further enhanced with<strong> upgraded Super Steady<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a> </strong>capabilities, which add a horizontal lock option for greater stability and to make consistent framing easier to achieve, even with bumpy trails or fast-paced activities. Galaxy S26 Ultra is the first Galaxy device to support <strong>APV</strong>, a new professional-grade video codec designed to deliver efficient compression for high-quality production workflows. Developed with advanced creators in mind, it can help maintain high video quality even through repeated edits.<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Improvements to the <strong>AI ISP<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a></strong> now extend to the selfie camera, capturing more natural skin tones and finer detail in mixed lighting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Editing photos and videos is just as easy and straightforward, with AI-powered tools built into familiar workflows so users can make changes quickly and unlock their creativity without design expertise.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With <strong>the upgraded Photo Assist<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a></strong> suite, users can simply describe what they want to change in their own words. Changing the scene from day to night is just a matter of asking. It can also add to images and restore missing parts of objects like a bite taken out of a cake. Personal details, such as a spill on clothing, can also be cleaned up with Galaxy AI’s new ability to change outfits in photos. Edits can now be made continuously, reviewed step by step, and easily adjusted or undone along the way, helping to make the process feel fluid rather than final.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Creative Studio<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span>[15]</span></a></strong> builds on this simplicity by bringing creation and customisation into one integrated space, making it easier to act on ideas when inspiration strikes. Starting from a sketch, photo or prompt, users can quickly turn ideas into polished visuals — from stickers and invitations to personalised wallpapers — and refine or share them without switching tools or interrupting creative flow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S26 series also simplifies frequent visual tasks with AI-powered tools like the <strong>Document Scan</strong>, which removes distortions and distractions such as creases or fingers to deliver clean scans instantly. Multiple images can be organised automatically into a single PDF, making it easy to digitise receipts, forms or notes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>An Intuitive Galaxy AI Experience</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy S26 series is designed to make frequently used experiences feel straightforward and user-friendly, with Galaxy AI reducing the steps between intent and action. It works more proactively and seamlessly on the user’s behalf based on context, surfacing the right support at the right moment and automating tasks with minimal manual input. As the technology fades and handles tasks in the background, users can focus on the results.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With <strong>Now Nudge<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span>[16]</span></a></strong>, timely and relevant suggestions help users stay in the flow without being distracted. If a friend asks for photos from a recent trip, Galaxy S26 automatically suggests photos from the Gallery, removing the need to search through albums or switch between apps. When receiving a message about a meeting, Galaxy S26 can recognise context from a conversation, integrating the Calendar and Gallery apps to provide relevant recommendations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the Galaxy S26 series, <strong>Now Brief<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><span>[17]</span></a></strong> has become more proactive and personalised<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><span>[18]</span></a>. It surfaces timely reminders for important events – from reservations to travel, based on personal context, helping users stay organised throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Searching for information is also easier than ever. <strong>Circle to Search with Google<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><span>[19]</span></a></strong> on the Galaxy S26 series has been upgraded with enhanced multi-object recognition, so users can now explore more deeply on multiple parts of an image at once. If users spot a look they love, the feature also identifies everything from the jacket to the shoes, all in one search.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 series features an upgraded Bixby<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><span>[20]</span></a> as a conversational device agent, making it more intuitive and easier than ever to interact with Galaxy devices. Users can navigate their devices and adjust settings using natural language, without the need for exact terminology or commands. Alongside Bixby, Galaxy S26 series integrates a choice of agents, including Gemini and Perplexity. Once set up, tasks can be completed with a single button press or voice prompt. Galaxy S26 can also handle multi-step tasks in the background, streamlining the process on the user’s behalf. For example, with Gemini, booking a taxi<a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21"><span>[21]</span></a> can be as simple as asking, reviewing the details and tapping confirm. These agents support tasks such as searching, and carrying out complex tasks seamlessly across apps through natural interaction.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, these proactive, personalised and adaptive experiences lay the foundation for more agentic AI experiences — setting the stage for Galaxy devices to become trusted companions that understand and anticipate user needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Layers of Protection in the Age of AI</strong></h3>
<p>As mobile experiences become more personalised thanks to AI, <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/your-privacy-secured-inside-the-tech-powering-safe-personalized-galaxy-ai-experiences">protecting user privacy</a> becomes even more critical. Samsung builds added protection into the Galaxy S26, keeping personal data safe while giving users a clear sense of how their information is used.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces privacy at the pixel level with the Galaxy’s first built-in <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/coming-soon-galaxy-new-layer-of-privacy"><strong>Privacy Display</strong></a><a href="#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22"><span><strong><u>[22]</u></strong></span></a>, a breakthrough in display technology that fundamentally changes how privacy can be protected on a phone. Designed for everyday situations like transit, cafés and shared environments, Privacy Display goes beyond anything previously available on Galaxy devices — hardware and software working as one to protect privacy without compromising the viewing experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By controlling how pixels disperse light, the display keeps content clear, bright and comfortable for the user in everyday use, while limiting what others can see. Unlike traditional stick-on privacy films, Galaxy’s integrated Privacy Display preserves full viewing quality from all directions when off, and limits visibility for others from side viewing angles when activated, even when switching between portrait and landscape orientation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Users can customise when it turns on — such as when entering PINs, patterns and passwords or opening selected apps — and adjust privacy levels depending on the situation. <strong>Partial Screen Privacy</strong> intelligently limits visibility for notification pop-ups, while <strong>Maximum Privacy Protection</strong> further obscures side views for added discretion, all with minimal impact on power or usability.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S26 series also brings smarter software safeguards that work quietly in the background. AI-powered <strong>Call Screening<a href="#_ftn23" name="_ftnref23"><span>[23]</span></a></strong> identifies unknown callers and summarises intent, making it easier to safely manage calls. <strong>Privacy Alerts</strong> use machine learning to proactively notify users in real time when apps with device admin privileges unnecessarily attempt to access sensitive data, such as precise location, call logs or contacts. These alerts help users quickly understand when apps are seeking deeper access, so they can manage permissions with greater clarity and control.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Private Album</strong>, built into Gallery, lets users easily hide selected photos and videos without creating a separate folder or signing into a Samsung Account. To stay ahead of emerging threats, Galaxy S26 also extends Samsung’s innovation in <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-introduces-future-ready-mobile-security-for-personalized-ai-experiences">post-quantum cryptography</a> (PQC) to critical system processes, including software verification and firmware protection, strengthening device integrity for the future.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New updates to <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-introduces-future-ready-mobile-security-for-personalized-ai-experiences">Knox Matrix</a> strengthens protection across connected Galaxy devices, adding PQC-enabled end-to-end encryption for direct transfers like eSIM migrations and clearer visibility into firmware update status across the ecosystem through <strong>Security Status of Your Devices</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These experiences are supported by Samsung Knox, the security platform that helps protect Galaxy devices. For on-device Galaxy AI, <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/your-privacy-secured-inside-the-tech-powering-safe-personalized-galaxy-ai-experiences">Personal Data Engine (PDE)</a> enables context-aware, personalised AI experiences. To keep this process safe, <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-introduces-future-ready-mobile-security-for-personalized-ai-experiences">Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP)</a> encrypts each app’s data, while <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/your-privacy-secured-how-knox-vault-protects-you-in-the-era-of-ai">Knox Vault</a><a href="#_ftn24" name="_ftnref24"><span><u>[24]</u></span></a> adds a physical layer of protection that isolates sensitive data inside its own hardware. Together with settings that let users choose how AI features operate, Galaxy S26 combines hardware and software to deliver a comprehensive, system-wide approach designed to help keep personal data protected.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These updates build on Galaxy’s existing security and privacy portfolio which includes Auto Blocker, Theft Protection, Private Sharing, Secure Wi-Fi and more. These layers of protection are designed to give users greater transparency, choice and control through Samsung’s continued mobile security innovation in the age of AI. And with seven years of security updates, Galaxy S26 helps keep these layers resilient over time — supporting longer, more confident use well into the years ahead.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26’s ease of use continues even when the phone is out of reach. The new Galaxy Buds4 series is a natural companion to Galaxy S26, extending everyday experiences beyond the phone while delivering rich and immersive hi-fi sound. When Galaxy S26 is paired with Galaxy Buds4, interactions can continue naturally in moments when using hands isn’t practical. Users can activate AI agents<a href="#_ftn25" name="_ftnref25"><span>[25]</span></a> with their voices, manage calls through simple Head Gestures<a href="#_ftn26" name="_ftnref26"><span>[26]</span></a> on Buds4 Pro, and stay connected without breaking their flow.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Availability</strong></h3>
<p>Pre-order for Galaxy S26 Ultra, S26+ and S26 will be available starting from February 26 and general availability will be available March 11 in Australia. The Galaxy S26 series features a unified design language across all models, with shared colour options including Cobalt Violet, White, Black and Sky Blue<a href="#_ftn27" name="_ftnref27"><span>[27]</span></a> alongside the <a href="samsung.com/au">Samsung.com/au</a> exclusive<a href="#_ftn28" name="_ftnref28"><span>[28]</span></a> Pink Gold and Silver Shadow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For added peace of mind, Samsung Care+<a href="#_ftn29" name="_ftnref29"><span>[29]</span></a> offers a device and mobile refresh program.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6887" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/001-foldable-Innovation-main-body-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="682" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/001-foldable-Innovation-main-body-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/001-foldable-Innovation-main-body-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/001-foldable-Innovation-main-body-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ever since Samsung created the foldable category by unveiling the first foldable smartphone in 2019, Samsung has pursued one goal: to give users large-screens in a pocket-friendly device. Years and thousands of design and engineering advancements later, Galaxy foldable devices have again not only exceeded that goal but set a new standard for mobile foldable innovation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are Samsung’s thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldables to date.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Pocket-friendly Proportions</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Flip7 slides into pocket at just 6.5 mm thin when open and 13.7 mm when closed.  An ultra-high-density circuit board makes sure there is no wasted space internally and Samsung enhanced the battery’s energy density, boosting its capacity by 300 mAh while reducing its thickness.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6883" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/002-foldable-Innovation-main-body-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/002-foldable-Innovation-main-body-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/002-foldable-Innovation-main-body-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/002-foldable-Innovation-main-body-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Galaxy Z Fold7 is nearly half the thickness of the original Fold, measuring just 8.9 mm folded and 4.2 mm unfolded<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6881" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/004-foldable-Innovation-main-body-gif-1024x576.gif" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/004-foldable-Innovation-main-body-gif-1024x576.gif 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/004-foldable-Innovation-main-body-gif-728x410.gif 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/004-foldable-Innovation-main-body-gif-1000x563.gif 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/004-foldable-Innovation-main-body-gif-768x432.gif 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a <strong>third-generation FlexHinge that is</strong> <strong>27% thinner and 43% lighter</strong> than its predecessor<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>. Key upgrades include:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Thinner critical rotating and supporting elements</strong>, resulting in a hinge that is smaller in size.</li>
<li><strong>Separate supporting and rotating functions </strong>add structural stability.</li>
<li><strong>A wingplate that opens wider</strong> delivers a flatter and cleaner screen for a more premium viewing experience.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Thinner Displays</strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6885" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foldable-Innovation-main-body-4-1024x572.png" alt="" width="1024" height="572" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foldable-Innovation-main-body-4-1024x572.png 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foldable-Innovation-main-body-4-1000x559.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foldable-Innovation-main-body-4-768x429.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The display is a cornerstone of Galaxy Z Fold7’s hardware innovations:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reduced display thickness </strong>by completely reoptimising the panel structure.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6886" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foldable-Innovation-main-body-5-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foldable-Innovation-main-body-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foldable-Innovation-main-body-5-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/foldable-Innovation-main-body-5-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Galaxy Z Flip7, Samsung maintains the Z Flip series’ iconic design but packs more power in a smaller package:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A new edge-to-edge Infinity Cover Display</strong> removes the black notch to provide more content and cleaner visuals.</li>
<li><strong>The HID camera is precisely corner-mounted</strong>, keeping visuals clean and symmetrical.</li>
<li><strong>The display bezel shrinks from 3.94 mm to 1.25 mm</strong>, a 68% reduction that makes Galaxy Z Flip7 the Galaxy’s thinnest display bezel on a foldable.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Pro Cameras, Optimised for Potability </strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80015" src="https://img.us.news.samsung.com/us/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/21092354/007-the-breakthroughs-powering-samsungs-thinnest-most-refined-foldables-Newbody-1.gif" alt="" width="1440" height="810" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers an ultra-level camera experience, providing flagship technology in a sleek and light design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>First 200 MP wide-angle camera in a Galaxy Z Series</strong></li>
<li><strong>The camera module shrunk by 18% </strong>and ran nearly 30,000 simulations, culminating in the thinnest 200 MP camera on a foldable device that doesn’t sacrifice image quality.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6884" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/007-foldable-Innovation-main-body.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="400" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Galaxy Z Flip7, the camera module has been redesigned from the ground up, delivering flagship image quality in a slimmer housing. To achieve a thinner design while maintaining high performance, Samsung streamlined the internal structure of the entire module, incorporating a smaller actuator to ensure high-performance autofocus with less bulk.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Strong Materials, Lighter Feel    </strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80016" src="https://img.us.news.samsung.com/us/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/21092625/009-the-breakthroughs-powering-samsungs-thinnest-most-refined-foldables-Newbody-1.gif" alt="" width="1440" height="810" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Bottom Line </strong></h3>
<p>Give consumers a refined foldable that feels as effortless as any premium smartphone.</p>
<p>Welcome to the new era of pocket-ready power.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a> The thickness of Galaxy Z Fold7 when unfolded does not include the frame of the Main Screen.</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span>[2]</span></a> Compared to previous Galaxy Z Fold series.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic are now widely available in Australia. Record-breaking sales during the pre-order period have highlighted Australians’ appetite for foldable devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

The new Galaxy Z series and Watch8 series aim to raise the bar by seamlessly blending design, engineering and powerful AI<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> to elevate everyday life and adapt to users’ unique, multi-faceted lifestyles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

The new Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7 and new Galaxy Z Flip7FE are the culmination of 15 years of R&amp;D, creating the pinnacle of design, hardware and software in a foldable form, while the Galaxy Watch8 series combines powerful new on-device AI with improved comfort and hardware advancements to reshape the wearables experience. These new products are designed to enhance the multi-faceted lifestyles that Australians enjoy, making these devices the ultimate multitasking companions.&#8221;</p>

<h3><strong>Redesigned Inside and Out for Ultimate Wellness</strong></h3>
<p>By reimagining both form and function, the Galaxy Watch8 series delivers unmatched<sup>2</sup> comfort alongside industry-leading performance, making it the ultimate companion for everyday wellness. The distinctive cushion design, which debuted with Galaxy Watch Ultra, now defines the entire Galaxy Watch line-up. To achieve the thinnest design yet<sup>2</sup>, the Galaxy Watch8 series’ internal structure was completely reengineered and its component mounting capability has improved, resulting in an 11% thinner design<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a>. Combined with the Dynamic Lug system, this design moves naturally with the wrist, providing greater comfort and improved stability<sup>2</sup> for a better fit and enhanced health-tracking accuracy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Watch8’s sleek profile is complemented by its exceptional performance. Even when you are outdoors under bright sunlight, the display has a peak brightness of 3,000 nits for easy visibility, and the battery ensures the watch can keep up with an active lifestyle. Moreover, the dual-frequency GPS provides detailed and precise location results while our 3nm processor delivers fast performance and great power efficiency. With the ground-breaking BioActive Sensor that enables deeper and more accurate health insights, that was introduced with last year’s Watch7 series, the Galaxy Watch8 series helps provide a holistic view of your health.</p>

<h3><strong>Motivation for Lasting Health Changes</strong></h3>
<p>Sleep is a window into your overall health and each restful night allows your body and mind to recover for the next day. That’s why Samsung is continuously advancing the sleep experience, offering tailored sleep coaching, helping to create an optimal sleep environment, and even detecting patterns of breathing disturbances suggestive of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a>. On top of that, the Galaxy Watch8 series comes with <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/feature-stories/great-health-can-happen-overnight-with-galaxy-watch/">new unique health features</a><a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a> on the Samsung Health app<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a> that help you build healthier habits through instant, motivational insights – from sleep to nutrition and workout.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Bedtime Guidance<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a> </strong>can measure your circadian rhythm to suggest the optimal time to go to bed so you wake up refreshed the next morning. Providing insights on various lifestyle factors including sleep, stress and activity, it helps you adopt a more comprehensive approach to managing your health.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch8 series introduces <strong>Antioxidant Index<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a> </strong>for the first time in a smartwatch, enabling you to measure carotenoid levels in just five seconds and make informed lifestyle choices to help with healthy aging.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether you’re a novice or experienced runner, the Galaxy Watch8 series delivers personalised fitness insights to keep you motivated when you need it most. <strong>Running Coach<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span>[9]</span></a></strong> calculates your fitness level from 1 to 10 and develops a tailored training plan complete with real-time guidance and motivational insights. With the updated <strong>Together</strong> feature, which now supports running, you can gamify your fitness journey by challenging friends and family.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With <strong>Mindfulness Tracker,</strong> you can record your mood and receive guidance on breathing exercises to relieve your stress – all at once on your wrist.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Plus, the AI-powered <strong>Energy Score<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a></strong> gives you a snapshot of your energy level, combining physical and mental energy metrics so you can have a healthier day, every day.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Easier Watch Interaction with Wear OS 6 and Gemini</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Developed in close collaboration with Google, the Galaxy Watch8 series is the first smartwatch equipped with <strong>Wear OS 6</strong> and <strong>Gemini<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a></strong> built-in for convenience on the move. Go hands-free using natural voice commands to perform various tasks. For example, when you’re ready to start your workout or planning your next fitness goal, simply say, “Start a 300-calorie circuit training workout.” or “Set a 20-minute run” just as you would to a person. The watch will then seamlessly initiate the workout in Samsung Health<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition, thanks to the new <strong>One UI 8 Watch</strong>, the user interface is optimised for the size and shape of the watch face. The new <strong>Multi-Info Tiles</strong> provide easy access to health metrics, weather, events and more – all in a single, quick look. Moreover, <strong>Now Bar</strong> and depthless notifications ensure key activities are front and centre.</p>
