With back-to-school in full swing, Samsung Canada launched a new ambassador program for high school and post-secondary students of Samsung Canada employees^[1]. The Samsung Student Technology Ambassador program gifts students who are children of Samsung Canada employees, and who have been selected as ambassadors under the program, with Samsung Connectivity Prize Packs consisting of the full ecosystem of Mobile eXperience (MX) and Consumer Electronics (CE) products, personalized product training, and the opportunity to showcase how they’re using the technology to support their learning objectives.

As Samsung Ambassadors, these students will document all the ways they’re using Samsung technology from their prize packs, which includes a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, Galaxy Book2 Pro, Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Galaxy Watch5, The Freestyle and Smart Monitor M8, during a typical school day. Whether it’s taking notes during class on their laptop, connecting their smartphone to their earbuds to listen to a presentation over lunch, or receiving reminders on their watch for assignment due dates, students will be able to harness the full power of their connected MX and CE products.

When applying to the Samsung Student Technology Ambassador program, students were asked to share how they think Samsung technology will help advance their academic pursuits this school year.

Here are a few excerpts from this year’s submissions.

• “I am confident Samsung technology will help me balance my time well, whether it’s using the Galaxy Watch to take care of my fitness, instantly receive calls, and notifications or using the laptop to respond to emails and organize assignments.”– Areebah Igbal, Engineering Student, University of Waterloo
• “I feel that products like the Galaxy Book2 and The Freestyle would help me with my educational learning, whether it’s typing out notes faster or presenting to the class.” – Hailye Jones, Psychology Major, University of Alberta
• “This [program] represents a unique opportunity for me to use Samsung technology to express my passion for music production.” – Timothy Han, Richmond Hill High School

The Samsung Student Technology Ambassador program is part of Samsung’s broader commitment to invest in young people’s education and help shape the next generation of leaders.

Stay tuned to Samsung Canada’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages to see how this year’s ambassadors are excelling in their studies with Samsung technology.

With the latest 12th Gen Intel® Evo processor, Samsung Galaxy Book2 Series laptops equip today’s hybrid workforce with the power to do more

With the recent rise in remote and hybrid working arrangements, the latest PC lineup from Samsung has been specifically designed to give users the flexibility and versatility they need in today’s mobile-first world.

Featuring advanced performance, ultra-portable design, enterprise-level security, and the trusted Galaxy experience, the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 and Galaxy Book2 Pro come with a variety of features and functions that allow employees and entrepreneurs to set up a premium workspace on the go.

Giving Busy Professionals the Freedom to Do More

Imagine being a busy business owner with multiple deadlines to meet and appointments to attend. This hectic schedule is the everyday reality for Toronto-based entrepreneur and co-founder of TechTO and Venue Live, Jason Goldlist. Samsung Canada recently spoke with Jason to learn about the important role technology plays in boosting his productivity throughout the day.

“With different business partners to meet, industry events to attend, and now, flights to catch, I’m moving around constantly throughout the day,” Jason says. “That’s why it’s essential to have trusted technology by my side for days of non-stop activity because without it, I almost feel helpless. That’s what I love about technology like the Galaxy Book2 Series as it delivers enhanced performance and faster connectivity, regardless of whether you’re at a coffee shop or airport lounge. When you sit down to work, you can have the peace of mind of knowing you’re getting a premium computing experience via the latest Intel processor, which allows you to enjoy instant wake, improve your responsiveness and receive a quality viewing experience.”

While on the move, Galaxy Book2 Series users don’t have to worry about lugging around heavy, bulky equipment. Lightweight, ultraportable and with the freedom of Wi-Fi 6E connectivity^[1], the Galaxy Book2 Series is built for mobile work. With a super-fast USB Type-C universal charger that can also power every other Galaxy mobile device^[2], users can get by with carrying only one charger, saving them space in their travel bags and effort of having to carry multiple chargers for their various devices.

Double the Productivity, Double the Output

Jason tends to a variety of tasks during the day from hosting livestreams, collaborating with colleagues, to taking video calls with potential Venue Live customers and putting finishing touches on an investor presentation. This range of activities demands a laptop with a similar range of functions. Luckily, the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 comes with the power of a PC and the convenience of a tablet, with a versatile two-in-one design and a 360° hinge.

“It’s great to have something with this form factor that is so powerful, so that I can work any way I need to depending on what’s next on my to-do-list,” Jason says.

The Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 also comes with the S Pen stylus that feels and functions like a real pen to help the busy remote worker jot down notes, mark-up documents or sign-off on paperwork.

“The S Pen can come in handy while moving between one appointment to another. Open up your device on the go and easily search a memo, edit a pdf directly or sign a contract, without having to worry about setting up a full working station with keyboard. When you’ve got an effortless solution, your ideas flow naturally,” Jason says.

Stay Connected on the Go

Technology has gained prominence in workplaces, with owners of small and medium-sized enterprises increasingly relying on it to boost flexibility in their business operations. For the busy entrepreneur juggling business deadlines and personal commitments, the Single Sign-On feature with a Samsung Account enables instant access to Galaxy device apps and content, including Samsung Gallery, Samsung Notes, and Galaxy Buds.

What’s more, when it’s time to upgrade, the Galaxy Book Smart Switch process helps transfer old data, photos, settings and more from a user’s old PC, regardless of the manufacturer, to their new Galaxy Book2 Pro 360. Courtesy of Link to Windows/Microsoft Your Phone^[3], users will immediately feel at home with the ability to pair their Galaxy smartphone with their Galaxy Book2 Series laptop – the crossover app continuity allows users to open their PC and pick up work where they left off on their smartphone by showing recently used apps and vice versa.

Enhanced Security Supports Remote File-sharing

With more professionals plugging in from different locations, security is a top concern for both businesses and individuals alike. The Galaxy Book2 Series delivers an enhanced level of protection on Windows 11 and features integrated hardware, firmware and software to boost protection against potential cyberattacks.

Small business owners also work on a variety of confidential documents and need to maintain certain information private, whether it’s customer lists or operating procedures. With Private Share^[4] on the Galaxy Book2 Series, users can share sensitive work documents with timed links and security options based on blockchain technology, including view-only access, which disables screen capture abilities for others while viewing the data. Similarly, Quick Share^[5], allows users to send large files with a Link Sharing option so recipients can share content between their PCs and other devices, enabling collaboration from different locations.

Video Calling with Confidence

The shift towards remote-hybrid organizational culture is driving digital transformation while at the same time providing employees with career opportunities and a work-life balance.

The Galaxy Book2 Series now feature 1080p FHD webcams and wider field of view angles^[6] to ensure a clear picture during every call. Studio Mode^[7] has also been upgraded to include new features such as Auto Framing which keeps the user perfectly centred even as they move within the frame.

Remote workers can also benefit from reduced eye strain when sitting in front of a screen all day. That’s because a new 1MM:1 contrast ratio will automatically adapt the screen to any lighting environment. When it comes to sound, bi-directional AI noise cancelling^[8] will block any distracting noises from the backgrounds of both the user and other participants in the call. With the enhanced video calling experience, remote workers can attend calls with clarity and crispness, whether they’re working from a café, driving to their children’s soccer practice or enjoying the summer sun in a park.

Samsung Care+ for Business

Earlier this year, Samsung Canada introduced a premium protection plan for corporate devices to help give today’s hybrid workforce extra piece of mind. The total care service provides worry-free repairs, an extended warranty of up to two years^[9] and coverage for physical damage and liquid intrusion^[10].

With the Galaxy Book2 Series and Samsung Care+ for Business, today’s professionals can enjoy the flexibility, versatility, security, and peace of mind from knowing their devices and work are protected, wherever their business day takes them.

Today, Samsung Electronics Canada announced the launch of the Galaxy Book2 Pro series, a flagship PC lineup featuring the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 with S Pen functionality and Galaxy Book2 Pro. Both form factors combine the flexibility and versatility needed for today’s hybrid work and learning environment and are built with the mobile DNA Samsung is known for.  The result is a PC experience that is equally productive and portable.

Enterprise-Level Security Meets Mobile Freedom

As more students and professionals enjoy remote or hybrid working environments, safeguarding their data, identity and privacy continues to be a top priority for Samsung. To further protect users, the Galaxy Book2 Pro series is the first consumer PC lineup meeting Microsoft’s secured-core PC[1] requirements. Previously designed for enterprise PCs in high-security industries such as finance, healthcare and government, the secured-core PC designation on the Galaxy Book2 Pro series delivers an enhanced level of protection on Windows 11 and it also features deeply integrated hardware, firmware and software to boost protection against potential cyber-attacks. Now, everyone can enjoy advanced security for enhanced peace of mind.

“Working with Samsung on the Galaxy Book2 Pro series is the next chapter in our proud collaboration to remove barriers between different operating systems and bring the best of Microsoft apps and services to the Galaxy ecosystem,” said David Weston, director of Enterprise and OS Security, Microsoft. “Delivering the first consumer PC with Microsoft’s secured-core PC designation is a crucial step in this effort as today’s consumers deserve the same security protections they get in the office as they do while working remotely.”

The Galaxy Book2 Pro series offers the advantages of enterprise security inside an ultra-portable, stylish chassis that easily travels wherever you go. The series combines ultrathin and ultralight design in sleek new colours and the freedom of Wi-Fi 6E[2] connectivity.

With up to 21 hours of battery life[3], consumers can move about their day without always being plugged in. Plus, the Galaxy Book2 Pro series comes with a super-fast USB Type-C universal charger[4] that can power every Galaxy mobile device[5], allowing you to carry just one charger while traveling.

The Ultimate Power to Do More

The Galaxy Book2 Pro series features the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core processors that allow users to work, video call and game with smooth and reliable performance. Samsung continues its proud partnership with Intel, working closely with the chipmaker to ensure full processor optimization with Galaxy Book2 Pro series hardware and software.

“We continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in our longstanding partnership with Samsung through increased resources, deeper platform integration and more optimization using our newest 12^th Gen Intel® Core processors,” said Jim Johnson, Senior Vice President and interim general manager of the Client Computing Group at Intel Corporation. “With the Galaxy Book2 Pro series, the results speak for themselves. These are some of the lightest, thinnest, and most powerful PCs we’ve ever had the opportunity to work on.”

With video calls now a part of everyday life, the Galaxy Book2 Pro series is upgraded for high-quality call experiences every time you connect. Now featuring 1080p FHD webcams and wider field of view angles[6], your video feed will look clear during every call. Studio Mode[7] is also upgraded with a variety of new features, including Auto Framing, which keeps you perfectly centered even when you move around the frame. New background effects and Face Effect remove visual distractions from the background while enhancing your appearance at the same time so you’ll look your best regardless of where you video chat. To complete the video experience, GREENGUARD-certified AMOLED[8] displays are now brighter[9] for increased clarity.

Audio on the Galaxy Book Pro2 series is also enhanced for video calls that sound and look great. Bi-directional AI noise cancelling[10] blocks distracting noises from both you and your colleague’s background, so every word is heard with full clarity. In addition, the Max 5W output[11] Smart Amp produces balanced sound at louder volumes. Galaxy Book2 Pro series also supports AKG and Dolby Atmos sound technology.

Furthermore, the newly added Samsung Device Care application included on the Galaxy Book2 Pro series now allows users to check their device efficiency and provides ways to optimize power and storage to ensure consistent performance.

Seamless Continuity for the Connected World

The Galaxy Book2 Pro series offers a variety of connected experiences with your other Galaxy devices, that eliminate friction in users’ daily lives. The new Galaxy Book Experience helps users get familiar with unique Galaxy features and transfers their content onto their new device. Through Single Sign-On with Samsung Account, users just need to enter their usernames and passwords once and instantly have access to Galaxy device apps and content including Samsung Gallery and Samsung Notes as well as have their Galaxy Buds[12] ready for pairing.

This new experience also takes users through the Galaxy Book Smart Switch[13] process, helping them move old data, photos, settings and more, from their old PC regardless of manufacturer, to their new PC. And once transferred, the new Galaxy Book2 Pro series experience is also very familiar with the intuitive One Book UI 4.0. Users with other Galaxy devices will feel at home on their new PC with the same UI, apps and menus that they’re already familiar with.

Furthermore, Galaxy Book2 Pro series offers a variety of updates that make everyday interactions more seamless:

• Link to Windows / Microsoft Your Phone[14], which pairs your Galaxy smartphone with your Galaxy Book2 Pro series device, now offers Recent Apps, allowing users to swipe up on their Windows 11 taskbar to check their smartphone’s status and even select their most recently used smartphone apps to use directly on their desktops.
• With Samsung Multi Control[15], you can use your Galaxy Book2 Pro series keyboard and trackpad while navigating on the screen of your Galaxy Tab S8 series tablet for seamless interactions across devices.
• Private Share[16] makes sharing sensitive work documents to colleagues It creates timed links with increased security options based on blockchain technology including view only access, which disables screen capture abilities while viewing and fully revoking access, so users keep the full control of their files even after sharing.
• Now, Quick Share[17] can be used to send large files with the new Link Sharing option, which generates an easily shareable link that recipients can access to quickly share content from PC to other devices.
• The Galaxy Book2 Pro series also serves as the perfect hub for your SmartThings[18]–compatible devices. Turn on the lights, set the temperature or check your security cams all from the convenience of the SmartThings Dashboard. With new Bixby[19] voice control functionality, you can control your IoT devices with the convenience of voice prompts. Plus, with SmartThings Find[20], if a user misplaces their Galaxy Book2 Pro series device, they can quickly locate it even if it is turned off.

Galaxy for the Planet

Samsung understands the importance of producing technology in responsible and sustainable methods. The Galaxy Book2 Pro series advances our ongoing commitment to minimize its environmental footprint and help Galaxy users adopt more sustainable lifestyles.  Samsung recently announced a new high-performance, eco-conscious material that repurposes discarded fishing nets to reduce plastic waste in the ocean, and this material is now featured in the touchpad holder and the inner bracket of the Galaxy Book2 Pro series.  Expanding the presence of ocean-bound plastics in Galaxy technology, this marks a notable achievement in the company’s sustainability journey. Through Galaxy for the Planet, Samsung is powering its scale, innovations and open collaborations to deliver tangible environmental actions across the Mobile eXperience Business and its entire product lineup to preserve the planet for generations to come.

With a battery offering a longer lifecycle[41] that reduces the need for frequent battery replacement, to eco-conscious AMOLED panels and sustainably-sourced paper boxes and mold trays, Galaxy Book2 Pro series is designed with sustainability in mind.
