That long-lasting power is paired with Intel® Core Series 5 processor performance, bringing Intel’s latest architecture and power efficiency to essential PC experiences. The processor also supports Galaxy AI[2] and other AI features designed to help users work, create and get things done more easily.

Built with Galaxy Book6 Design DNA

The latest addition to the Galaxy Book6 lineup carries forward the design language of the series, defined by clean, balanced lines and a symmetrical design. A centred logo further reinforces a unified Galaxy Book6 identity.

At 15.7mm thin and 1.35kg[3], Galaxy Book6 combines a slim profile with portability that makes it easy to carry throughout the day, from home and school to work and travel.

The 16:10 display provides more vertical viewing space for documents, web pages and multitasking, while anti-reflective technology minimizes glare for clearer, more comfortable viewing wherever you are. Galaxy Book6 also keeps commonly used connections close at hand.

AI Select[7] lets users select content directly on the screen and instantly access helpful information and insights while browsing, shopping or viewing content online. It also includes AI Cut out, which lets users instantly remove image backgrounds to prepare polished visuals for presentations, e-commerce listings or marketing materials. Note Assist[8] summarizes notes and surfaces key information so users can review important details faster.

▲ AI Select lets users quickly access helpful information and use AI Cut out to refine visuals, making everyday tasks easier.

Content also moves more easily across Galaxy devices. Quick Share[9] enables fast file sharing between compatible devices, while Storage Share[10] lets users access photos, videos and files across compatible Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Book without transferring them first – making it easier to bring content from a phone directly into a document, presentation or creative project.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that Prime Video will be the first streaming service to offer HDR10+ ADVANCED[1] on supported titles globally beginning August 2026, with the service being first available on Samsung’s 2026 TV lineup. The next-generation High Dynamic Range (HDR) standard — designed to deliver brighter, more immersive picture quality for supported movies and shows — brings the benefits of Enhanced Overall Brightness and Intelligent Motion Smoothing to streaming viewers for the first time.

“As home viewing options become more diverse, users are prioritizing elite viewing standards and greater levels of immersion,” said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “By collaborating with Prime Video, we are bringing HDR10+ ADVANCED to home entertainment systems for the first time, we are elevating the home viewing experience all over the world.”

HDR10+ ADVANCED is the next evolution of the HDR10+ standard and is specifically designed to empower today’s most advanced televisions — which have achieved even larger screen sizes, higher peak brightness, greater colour depth and increased processing power — while satisfying the requirements of leading content distribution services. The standard preserves the creator’s intent across compatible displays while delivering a more dynamic, lifelike viewing experience for supported content.

It also introduces two powerful capabilities for customers. Enhanced Overall Brightness uses extended statistical metadata to make fuller use of today’s premium TV brightness capabilities, delivering brighter, more precise HDR across the full tonal range. Additionally, AI-driven tone mapping preserves shadow detail in darker scenes and delivers the heightened brightness that sports and action content demand.

Meanwhile, Intelligent Motion Smoothing utilizes scene-by-scene metadata to allow compatible displays to dynamically adjust motion processing — preserving the cinematic feel of film content while delivering smooth, natural motion for sports, action and other fast-moving scenes.

“At Prime Video, we’re dedicated to providing the best possible viewing experience, and HDR10+ ADVANCED represents a meaningful step forward for our customers,” said BA Winston, Vice President of Technology at Prime Video. “With Enhanced Overall Brightness and Intelligent Motion Smoothing, the picture quality adapts to bring out the best details in every scene, and we’re excited to deliver richer, more dynamic visuals on the titles our Prime Video customers love on supported devices.”

The collaboration builds on the successful launch of HDR10+ on Prime Video in December 2017, when Prime Video became the first streaming service provider to offer HDR10+ to customers. The launch made Prime Video’s entire HDR library available in HDR10+ on Samsung’s 2017 UHD TV lineup, using dynamic metadata to deliver enhanced contrast and colour. Since that launch, the HDR10+ standard has grown to encompass 183 adopter companies and more than 22,000 certified products.

HDR10+ ADVANCED will be integrated into Samsung’s product lineup starting with its 2026 TV models, with support planned for future products as the HDR10+ ecosystem continues to grow. The rollout builds on Samsung’s 20-year leadership in the global TV market, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to advancing display technology and bringing premium viewing experiences to consumers worldwide.[2]

Samsung Electronics today announced that the Galaxy Buds4 Pro has received the EISA In-Ear Headphones 2026-2027 Award by the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA). This marks the first time a Galaxy Buds product has earned this recognition from EISA, underscoring Samsung’s continued commitment to audio innovation, superior sound quality, intelligent adaptive listening technologies, and user-focused design.

The award is particularly significant as it supports the core engineering philosophy behind the Galaxy Buds4 Pro: delivering sound as it was meant to be heard. The EISA Awards represent one of the most authoritative annual recognitions of audio quality in the global consumer electronics industry. Judged by collective expert editors from top technology publications across more than 25 countries, the EISA Awards provide an independent assessment of audio performance and innovation. This recognition by EISA reinforces Samsung’s ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of premium wireless audio through advanced hardware, intelligent software, and user-centric design.

EISA’s praise further highlights the Galaxy Buds4 Pro’s balance of audio performance, call quality and everyday usability.

“Employing a two-way speaker with individual amplifiers dedicated to the woofer and tweeter, Samsung’s Galaxy Buds4 Pro yields clean, musical detail,” commented Ljubisa Miodragovic, President at EISA. “Meanwhile, advanced Sensor Fusion technology combines a dedicated Voice Pickup Unit (VPU) with DNN-powered noise reduction to ensure exceptionally clear calls.”

“At Samsung, our goal has always been to deliver Hi-Fi sound that stays true to the original recording. Receiving the EISA In-Ear Headphones Award validates our commitment to audio engineering excellence and affirms our promise of delivering premium sound quality and user experiences,” said Han-gil Moon, Master and Head of Audio Group, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Users can be confident that Galaxy Buds4 Pro are built to provide the best and most satisfying sound experience. We will continue to build on this foundation to offer even richer listening experiences in the future.”

Galaxy Buds4 Pro delivers Samsung’s most advanced audio experience to date, with standout features including:

• A newly designed wider woofer that increases the effective speaker area by nearly 20% over the previous generation, paired with a dedicated tweeter to deliver clean bass, rich treble, and 24-bit/96 kHz UHQ audio true to the original recording. EISA experts praised the Buds4 Pro for yielding “clean musical detail while limiting distortion across the frequency range.”
• Enhanced Adaptive ANC and EQ that analyzes wearing conditions and each user’s unique ear shape, applying optimal noise-cancelling algorithms in real time, so users can enjoy a consistent listening experience all day long.
• Super Clear Call enabled by the device’s advanced Sensor Fusion technology, which combines a Voice Pickup Unit (VPU) with Deep Neural Network (DNN)-powered noise reduction to “ensure exceptionally clear calls,” even in noisy environments.
• An ultra-sleek, ergonomic blade design refined through hundreds of millions of global ear data points and over 10,000 simulations, featuring a premium metal finish, engraved pinch controls, and an IP57 rating for water and dust resistance.[1]
• Deeper Galaxy ecosystem integration that allows users to initiate AI agents and manage hands-free calls through intuitive Head Gesture controls.

• Even after the moment has passed, Photo Assist[6] makes it easier to refine images using natural language prompts – turning day into night, adding new elements or restoring missing parts. Plus, edits can be reviewed step by step and revised or undone along the way.

AI Experiences, Delivered Effortlessly

Powered by the latest One UI 9, Galaxy S26 FE brings a range of intuitive, context-aware Galaxy AI[7] experiences that help make daily life easier by adapting to users’ routines to keep them informed and organized. It also helps handle everyday tasks faster and more seamlessly on user’s behalf.

• Now Nudge[9] is expanded to select third-party apps and notifications, surfacing timely, relevant suggestions across more of the day — helping users turn insights into action and manage everyday routines with less friction.
• Circle to Search with Google[10] now allows users to search for multiple items in an image at once, making it easier to identify products, places, objects and more in a single step.

Built to Keep Up Throughout the Day

Galaxy S26 FE brings meaningful upgrades to the everyday essentials users rely on most — including an intuitive battery and a bright display built for work, entertainment and creativity from morning to night.

• A long-lasting 4,900 mAh battery[11] keeps users going while maintaining the slim and refined design of the Galaxy S26 lineup. Users can reach up to 69% charge in around 30 minutes with the 45 W adapter,[12] powering up quickly to stay connected for longer.
• A 7-inch[13] AMOLED display with up to 120 Hz refresh rate provides smooth, immersive visuals with brightness, resolution and clarity for streaming, gaming, browsing and creative work.

Users choosing Galaxy S26 FE as their next device will feel the power of the Galaxy experience from day one. An improved Smart Switch helps users get set up more easily, making the move to Galaxy feel like a warm welcome. Meanwhile, long-term software updates and Samsung Care+ provide added confidence over time.

• Upgraded Smart Switch[14] makes moving to Galaxy easier than ever. Whether switching from an Android or iOS device, users can scan a QR code to wirelessly transfer data – from passwords and passkeys to call history, accessibility settings and eSIM data — with no extra apps and less setup time.
• Galaxy S26 FE is built to last, with up to years of OS upgrades and security updates,[15] allowing users to enjoy the latest features with confidence for years to come.
• For added peace of mind, Samsung Care+[16] offers comprehensive coverage optimized to users’ needs, including tailored benefits that protect the value of the device. With One UI 9, the new Warranty and care settings hub also makes it easy to purchase Samsung Care+, enroll in, access and manage Samsung Care+, along with other device care support.

Smart Switch is Samsung’s data transfer app[1] that allows users to move contacts, photos, videos, messages, apps, settings and more from an Android or iOS device to a new Galaxy device. With One UI 9 on the new eighth-generation Galaxy Z series, Smart Switch makes switching devices easier and more seamless than before. Quick Share has also been enhanced, making it easier to share files with friends, family and colleagues using different platforms.

Start Switching With Just a QR Code

With One UI 9, users no longer need to install the Smart Switch app separately on their iOS device. By simply scanning the QR code displayed on their new Galaxy, they can start transferring data through Smart Switch.

The updated Smart Switch also makes it easier to connect wirelessly. The two devices can connect without users needing to find the right cable or adapter before getting their new phone set up.

Bring More from Your Old Phone With You

With One UI 9, Smart Switch has expanded the types of data that can move from iOS devices to Galaxy. In addition to previously supported data such as photos, messages, contacts, calendars and apps, users can also transfer passwords and passkeys, call history, accessibility settings and eSIM information.

These may be less visible than a photo library, but they can make a big difference to how quickly a new device feels ready to use. A saved password means one less account to set up again. Bringing over accessibility settings can reduce the need to recreate a personalized experience. eSIM information can also be transferred, making it easier to continue using an existing mobile setup.

Make Galaxy Feel More Familiar

Whether switching to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8 or Z Flip8, users can make their new device feel familiar from the start. Beyond transferring data, they can adjust key settings such as Swipe gestures and Home screen layout to suit the way they use their phone. With the UI customization app Good Lock, users can also personalize the Home screen, app switching and more, giving them greater freedom to use Galaxy in the way that works best for them.

For those switching from iOS to Galaxy, these options can help recreate familiar ways of navigating and organizing their previous smartphone, reducing the adjustment that can come with moving to a new environment. This helps users settle into their new Galaxy more comfortably and naturally from the start.

Keep Sharing After the Switch

Changing smartphones does not mean everyone around a user changes theirs too.

Friends, family and colleagues may continue using different devices, which makes cross-platform sharing an important part of the experience long after setup is finished. Devices running One UI 9 and One UI 8.5 can benefit from an enhanced cross-device sharing experience[2] with Quick Share. With AirDrop compatibility, Quick Share makes it easier to share files between Galaxy and iOS devices.[3]

Choosing a new smartphone should come down to the experience people want next. By simplifying how the switch begins, expanding what can move across and making it easier to keep sharing afterwards, Samsung is reducing more of the practical barriers between smartphone ecosystems.

The result is a simpler way to move to Galaxy, while bringing more of what already matters along for the journey.
