																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Diabetes Research Center (DRC) today jointly announced a research study to investigate the efficacy of Galaxy Watch in assisting adults starting GLP-1RA<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> therapy to monitor and potentially manage muscle loss. With <span><a href="https://www.kff.org/public-opinion/poll-1-in-8-adults-say-they-are-currently-taking-a-glp-1-drug-for-weight-loss-diabetes-or-another-condition-even-as-half-say-the-drugs-are-difficult-to-afford/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nearly one in five adults in the US saying they have taken GLP-1 medication</a> at some point</span>, this innovative clinical study will investigate how continuous data from Galaxy Watch can help patients and clinicians monitor and mitigate muscle loss by providing a clearer, more holistic view of a person&#8217;s body composition and activity levels during treatment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This research will delve into the feasibility of managing muscle loss for GLP-1 patients by utilizing biometric data including body composition, activity levels and heart rate provided by Galaxy Watch and Samsung Health.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung and MGH have continuously collaborated on digital health research utilizing both Galaxy Watch and Samsung Health, including studies on Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). The MGH Diabetes Research Center, which specializes in research on diabetes, initiated the joint study with Samsung after recognizing Galaxy Watch’s advanced capabilities in body composition monitoring. This study also utilizes Galaxy Watch8 powered by Samsung’s intuitive BioActive Sensor<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Under the leadership of Dr. Melissa Putman, the study will use the Galaxy Watch to monitor participant body composition, track physical activity and receive tailored exercise guides. Their progress will be compared to another group who will receive the standard guidance and care typically given to patients starting GLP-1RA therapy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To evaluate the study’s progress, researchers will use clinical-grade DXA scans <a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a>— the gold standard for body composition analysis — to track physiological changes in both groups. This data will help determine whether the insights and tailored guidance provided by Galaxy Watch8 can  support participants in building healthier daily habits.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Many GLP-1 patients struggle with muscle mass loss, a common side effect that can cause an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and a drop in basal metabolic rate, which can lead to future weight regain,” said Dr. Putman, Director of the MGH Diabetes Research Center. “We’re interested in exploring how continuous data from a wearable like Galaxy Watch can provide invaluable insights into a patient&#8217;s activity levels, heart rate and body composition, giving clinicians a more holistic view of treatment impact and allowing for more timely, data-driven adjustments to their care plan.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“This collaboration with MGH focuses on addressing real-world health challenges that patients face during GLP-1RA therapy, specifically managing muscle loss and building healthy habits,” said Jongmin Choi, Head of Health R&amp;D Group, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business, Samsung Electronics. “Ultimately, this study highlights Samsung’s ongoing commitment to delivering comprehensive and proactive health management solutions through the advanced capabilities of Galaxy Watch.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung remains committed to researching how Galaxy Watch can support patients in managing their daily physical health. By fostering sustainable wellness habits, we aim to help patients achieve better clinical outcomes and long-term vitality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung continues to expand its partnerships with leading medical institutions to advance wearable health monitoring capabilities and broaden the digital health ecosystem. Recently, Samsung demonstrated the potential for early vasovagal syncope (VVS) detection using Galaxy Watch in a <a href="https://bit.ly/4d7IfJJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joint clinical study with Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital in Korea</a>, and also <a href="https://bit.ly/3YdvLJQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collaborated with Stanford Medicine to further advance Galaxy Watch&#8217;s Sleep Apnea feature</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h6><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a> Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone secreted by the intestines after eating that regulates blood sugar levels and suppresses appetite. While GLP-1 weight-loss medications that mimic this hormone are gaining significant popularity globally, they can be accompanied by side effects such as gastrointestinal disorders, muscle mass loss, and potential weight regain upon discontinuation.</h6>
<h6><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span>[2]</span></a> The BioActive Sensor is a technology that integrates three sensors into a single chipset: an optical heart rate sensor (PPG), an electrical heart rate sensor (ECG), and a bioelectrical impedance analysis sensor (BIA). This sensor has been featured in Galaxy Watch devices since the release of Galaxy Watch4 in 2021, allowing users to measure and monitor various health indicators, such as body composition, heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG tracking.</h6>
<h6><a href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3"><span>[3]</span></a> DXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan: A specialized medical imaging technology that uses low-dose X-rays to precisely measure body composition, including body fat, lean muscle mass, and bone density. Universally recognized as the &#8220;gold standard&#8221; for body composition analysis, it is widely utilized in clinical research to accurately evaluate physiological changes.</h6>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beyond high resolution, video trends are shifting toward mood and emotional storytelling. Samsung Electronics debuted the <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/interview-beyond-the-shot-how-the-apv-codec-powers-the-full-mobile-video-experience-on-galaxy-s26-ultra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec</a></span> on Galaxy S26 Ultra, laying the groundwork for mobile video production while maintaining image quality and minimizing loss during editing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In response, Samsung asked a simple question — can anyone create Hollywood-style videos on a Galaxy mobile phone? The answer is the Cinematic Look-Up Table (Cine LUT) feature on the Galaxy S26 series. While the <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/editorial-how-apv-is-elevating-mobile-video-to-professional-standards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">APV codec</a></span> provides the foundation for cinema-quality video, Cine LUT brings a distinct colour style to the footage.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cine LUT makes professional-level colour grading — once reserved for experts — accessible to anyone. Samsung collaborated with internal teams and external specialists to bring this feature to life. The Mobile eXperience (MX) Business led final camera implementation, Samsung Research developed core video processing technologies and U5K Imageworks — a colourist studio behind globally recognized productions — helped shape its visual aesthetic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following the introduction of the APV codec, which delivers a visually lossless level of image quality, Samsung Newsroom spoke with three key developers behind Cine LUT — Sugon Baek of the Camera Image Quality R&amp;D Group at the MX Business, Bomi Kim of the Reality Media Lab at Samsung Research and Taesik Eom, CEO of U5K Imageworks — to hear the story of its creation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Q. What is a LUT? What sets Cine LUT on the Galaxy S26 series apart?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> A LUT is essentially a “map” that transforms one set of colours into a desired look. Unlike conventional filters that simply overlay colour, Cine LUT reinterprets Samsung Log<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> footage to deliver the depth and look of professional filmmaking.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> It’s optimized for Log video. By leveraging its wide gradation,<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> this feature precisely reconstructs colour and brightness to preserve subtle tonal details often lost with conventional filters for richer, more natural depth.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Q. What led to the development of Cine LUT?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> While Galaxy devices supported Log video for high-quality capture, colour grading remained challenging for users. We aimed to make professional-looking results accessible without advanced editing skills.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> We wanted to create an experience that lets users preview cinematic footage at the moment of capture, then apply a LUT and share the video with a single tap in the Gallery.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong> Q. </strong><strong>How did the collaboration with U5K Imageworks begin? How was Cine LUT developed?</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Eom:</strong> Our collaboration began two years ago with Rec. 709 LUT advisory work for Samsung Log video, where we refined strong colours into more natural tones — an experience that led to Cine LUT. For this project, we developed multiple versions across three intensity levels — neutral, soft and strong — and tested them in diverse scenes, ultimately selecting four core styles.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> Building on U5K’s colour direction, we validated the concepts against quantitative criteria to ensure consistent performance in different environments, refining them through testing until creative intent and technical quality aligned.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_14013" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-14013" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/05.Taesik-Eom-CEO-of-U5K-Imageworks.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="750" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/05.Taesik-Eom-CEO-of-U5K-Imageworks.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/05.Taesik-Eom-CEO-of-U5K-Imageworks-751x563.jpg 751w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/05.Taesik-Eom-CEO-of-U5K-Imageworks-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Taesik Eom, CEO of U5K Imageworks</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Q.What challenges did you face during development?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> We needed a large dataset to validate performance across diverse conditions. Testing in real-world environments — from natural and indoor lighting to day and night — and close collaboration were key to capturing the nuances of colour.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> Maintaining consistent, undistorted colour in different environments was challenging. Through continuous testing, we developed a LUT that balances subjective preference with objective quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Q. What was the key consideration in creating looks optimized for mobile phones?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Eom:</strong> Ensuring reliable performance in real-world conditions was key. Since lighting, exposure and white balance constantly vary, we focused on creating looks that remain natural in any situation.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> Quality was our top priority. We analyzed each frame and validated performance using tools like colour charts, gray balance and vector scopes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Q. Why were these four styles chosen for the Galaxy S26 series?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> We analyzed the visual language of popular film genres and identified four representative styles. From the high-contrast Blockbuster to the fresh Coming-of-age, warm Romance and moody Thriller, each colour palette was designed to give everyday scenes an instant cinematic look.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1280px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-14007-3" width="1280" height="590" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-LUT-Application-Demo-EN-1.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-LUT-Application-Demo-EN-1.mp4">https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Samsung-LUT-Application-Demo-EN-1.mp4</a></video></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">▲ Users can preview Cine LUTs when shooting in Log and easily apply them to recorded footage using editing tools.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Q. Which Cine LUT styles do you recommend for different situations?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Eom:</strong> There’s no fixed answer — it depends on the situation. Blockbuster suits high-contrast environments like outdoor and urban scenes; Coming-of-age fits soft, trendy settings like cafes or vlogs; Romance adds warmth to character-driven scenes; and Thriller creates a more striking impression.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Q. What stood out to you in user feedback?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> We expected it might be seen as just another video effect, but the response exceeded expectations. Users quickly recognized that combining Log shooting with Cine LUTs expands creative possibilities beyond simple filters. We’re also seeing more users choose styles based on the scene, with high-quality videos widely shared on social media — and even inspiring new ways to create content.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Q. What are your plans for the future?</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baek:</strong> We aim to further establish the Galaxy S26 series as a professional-grade camera. We hope to see more content that resonates with both creators and viewers and will continue to set new standards in video creation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> As the world changes rapidly, our goal is to identify next-generation technologies. Through close collaboration with business divisions, we will work to bring them into products and deliver innovative experiences to users around the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that a joint clinical study with Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital in Korea has successfully validated the ability to predict vasovagal syncope (VVS) with high accuracy by utilizing biosignals obtained from Galaxy Watch6.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Vasovagal syncope occurs when a person’s heart rate and blood pressure drop abruptly due to factors like excessive stress, leading to a temporary loss of consciousness. While the fainting spell itself is typically not life-threatening, sudden falls can cause severe secondary injuries like fractures or concussions, making early prediction critically important for prevention.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Up to 40% of people experience vasovagal syncope over their lifetime, with one-third experiencing recurrent episodes,&#8221; said Professor Junhwan Cho of the Department of Cardiology at Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital. &#8220;An early warning could give patients advance time to get into a safe position or call for help, which would dramatically reduce the incidence of secondary injuries.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The joint research team, led by Professor Cho, conducted evaluations on 132 patients with suspected VVS symptoms during induced fainting tests. Using a Galaxy Watch equipped with a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>, the team analyzed the watch’s heart rate variability (HRV) data with an AI algorithm. The model successfully predicted impending fainting episodes up to five minutes in advance with 84.6 percent accuracy, at a clinically meaningful sensitivity of 90 percent and a specificity of 64 percent.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“This study is an example of how wearable technology can help shift healthcare from being designed for ‘post-care’ to a model of ‘preventive care,’” said Jongmin Choi, Head of Health R&amp;D Group, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business, Samsung Electronics. “We are committed to driving technological innovation that empowers our users to lead healthier everyday lives.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Mother’s Day, Samsung Electronics is introducing its official Mother’s Day Gift Guide, built around a simple idea: helping moms get time back in their day. Powered by Galaxy AI and a seamlessly connected ecosystem of devices, Samsung is making it easier for moms to manage busy schedules, stay connected, and prioritize their wellbeing without adding more to their plate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether it’s coordinating family logistics, staying on top of work, or carving out a moment to recharge, Samsung’s Galaxy ecosystem works intelligently across devices to simplify everyday routines. From AI-powered assistance on her phone, to wellness insights that support better sleep and recovery, to seamless connectivity between devices, the experience is designed to reduce friction and give moms more control over their time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Today’s moms are constantly balancing competing priorities,” says <strong>Laura Donaldson, Head of Marketing, Mobile at Samsung Canada</strong>. “That’s why we’re focused on advancing more agentic, intuitive Galaxy AI experiences that take on everyday tasks and help make life feel more effortless. With Galaxy AI at the center of our ecosystem, our devices work together seamlessly in the background. That means more time focusing on what matters most.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>For the mom who keeps everything running: Galaxy S26 Ultra</strong></h3>
<p>From coordinating school drop-offs to managing work meetings and family group chats, the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/ca/smartphones/galaxy-s26-ultra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy S26 Ultra</a> acts like a smart assistant in her pocket. Galaxy AI<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> helps her quickly summarize long message threads, organize her calendar, and plan on the go so she can stay one step ahead without feeling overwhelmed. Its pro-grade camera also makes capturing everyday moments effortless, whether she’s snapping a clear shot from the back row at a school recital or grabbing a quick photo of the kids mid-play at the park, she gets sharp, vibrant results without needing to adjust a thing. And when she does, it’s easy to instantly share those moments with loved ones, whether they’re on Galaxy or other devices, thanks to seamless cross-platform sharing like AirDrop<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> compatibility. And with everything syncing effortlessly across her Galaxy devices, from reminders to wellness insights, her day stays connected without the extra effort.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that its “Coral in Focus” initiative, powered by <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-deepens-its-commitment-to-the-worlds-oceans-by-leveraging-galaxy-technology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ocean Mode</a></span><span>[1]</span>, an advanced camera feature available on select new Galaxy mobile phones, has received multiple awards for its contributions to coral reef conservation, including Gold in the “Best Sustainability or Conservation Initiative” category at <span><a href="https://engageforgood.com/halo-awards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Engage for Good’s 2026 Halo Awards</a></span>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, “Coral in Focus,” a documentary tied to the initiative, received the Coastal and Island Culture Award at the <span><a href="https://intloceanfilmfest.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">23rd International Ocean Film Festival</a></span><span>.</span> Samsung was separately named to <span><a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/most-innovative-companies/list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fast Company’s 2026 Most Innovative Companies list</a></span> for its work advancing mobile innovation in environmental research.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These recognitions reflect the impact of Samsung’s efforts to reverse the decline of coral reefs in partnership with U.S.-based nonprofit organization Seatrees and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. By bringing together Galaxy’s advanced image capturing capabilities with Seatrees’ community-driven restoration model and Scripps’ knowledge on marine science, Samsung is transforming Galaxy mobile phones into powerful tools for ocean conservation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_13917" style="width: 1268px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-13917" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Image-1.jpg" alt="" width="1258" height="943" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Image-1.jpg 1258w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Image-1-751x563.jpg 751w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Image-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Image-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1258px) 100vw, 1258px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Photo captured with a Galaxy S26 Ultra equipped with Ocean Mode</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor yet support approximately 25% of all marine life and sustain millions of livelihoods worldwide. Without intervention, many reefs are at risk of disappearing by 2050 due to climate change, pollution and overfishing<span>[2]</span>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To help address this challenge, Samsung collaborated with Seatrees and Scripps to advance coral reef restoration across a growing network of sites in Costa Rica, Fiji, the Galápagos Islands, Indonesia and the United States.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through the <span><a href="https://seatrees.org/pages/samsung" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Samsung x Seatrees: Bring Coral in Focus” initiative</a></span>, partners and local communities are given Ocean Mode-equipped Galaxy devices and underwater housings to capture high-quality underwater imagery with Ocean Mode, which is then used to generate detailed 3D photogrammetric models. This process improves how coral reefs are monitored and evaluated, resulting in critical insight into reef health and recovery.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, Samsung, Seatrees and Scripps have driven meaningful impact across restoration sites. To date, <span><a href="https://seatrees.org/pages/samsung#:~:text=Partnership%20Impact%20Metrics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 20,000 coral fragments have been planted, and over 80 3D reef models have been built to</a></span> support monitoring and research efforts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_13918" style="width: 886px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class=" wp-image-13918" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Image-2.png" alt="" width="876" height="493" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Side-by-side comparison of coral imagery captured on a Galaxy mobile phone with standard camera settings (left) and Ocean Mode (right), highlighting improved colour correction and reduced motion blur underwater.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now available through <span><a href="https://galaxystore.samsung.com/detail/com.samsung.android.app.galaxyraw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Expert RAW</a></span><span>[3]</span>, Ocean Mode extends these capabilities to Galaxy users, making advanced underwater imaging<span>[4]</span> available to more people while reducing reliance on expensive, heavy DSLR equipment. This increased accessibility is critical to scaling coral reef monitoring efforts, particularly in regions where resources and technical infrastructure may be limited.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These accolades build on Samsung’s broader commitment to sustainability under its initiative, <u>Our Journey</u>: <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-expands-its-journey-galaxy-for-the-planet-with-new-goals-through-2030" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy for the Planet</a></span>. From incorporating recycled materials into Galaxy devices to developing technologies like Ocean Mode with like-minded partners, Samsung continues to explore how innovation can help protect the planet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h6><span>[1]</span> As of April 2026, Ocean Mode is supported on Galaxy S26 Series, and is expanding to the S25 Series, S24 Series, Fold 7, Flip 7, Z Tri-Fold, Fold 6 and Flip 6 throughout the first half of 2026.</h6>
<h6><span>[2]</span> <span><a href="https://ocean.si.edu/ecosystems/coral-reefs/coral-reefs-need-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Smithsonian Museum of Natural History</em></a></span></h6>
