We’re able to say this for certain: being a creative is hard work. It’s one thing to do it as a craft or a hobby for the joy of creative release, but another to make it a successful profession. It takes an immense amount of brainpower, time, artistic knack, and tools to transition your genius ideas into a paycheck. With the ever-changing landscape of the digital era, opportunities are abundant—and that’s something to be excited about.

There are many ways to categorize what type of creative you are, but whichever you fall into—graphic artist, visual creative, music maker, writer, content creator, or performer—each warrants its own type of process. Whether it calls for keeping a meticulous calendar or having a pro-grade camera at your fingertips to capture life at any moment, daily tasks are made easier with a smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G.

Finding beauty in everything is your modus operandi, and translating it into your medium is your specialty. Via a stroke of oil paint on a canvas, composition of typography, or collaging multimedia; whatever your artistic flex, you express yourself through it. That expression extends to your sartorial sense—and your tech is no exception. Graphic artists will appreciate the Galaxy S20 FE 5G for precisely that reason, because it comes in a rainbow of six gorgeous matted tones: Cloud Red, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, Cloud White and our favourites, dreamy Cloud Orange and classic Cloud Navy.

You’re dealing with file sizes in high-resolution renderings, which means you need a device with expandable storage space^[1] so you can create, access, and share your work on-the-go.

We’re in a time when our smartphones come with pro-grade cameras. Phones are now more convenient and can fit in a pocket or a mini purse, too. For the visual creatives like photographers and videographers, capturing special moments that inspire is critical—and often, the most prolific imagery is caught in the spur of the moment. With Galaxy S20 FE 5G, you get high-powered pro lenses in your pocket to help capture portraiture worthy of a print cover story, or you can use 30X Space Zoom^[2] to help render vivid expressions of your favourite artists performing far away on stage. With Night Mode, you can capture crisp images even when it’s dark and do away with those blurry concert photos. Share your craft with the world.

Galaxy S20 FE 5G even has an innovative 32MP pro-grade selfie camera that lets you easily capture a post-worthy picture.

Music is so powerful. It has the ability to depict emotions that are difficult to put into words. It can change a mood, get you on a dance floor, help you heal from a breakup, or chill you out after a stressful day. We would run out of (digital) paper if we wrote out all the ways music transcends. And that is only possible because of the music makers — the writers, singers, musicians, producers, sound techs, and everything in between.

One of the most astounding things about making tunes in this time is that geographical location is no longer such a barrier. The Galaxy S20 FE 5G has an advanced processor^[3] and hyper-fast 5G connectivity^[4] which makes for an uninterrupted experience. Whether you’re sending the new hook you just recorded in your bedroom, or viewing your music video on its 120Hz 6.5” Infinity-O Display^[5]—which is so vivid and smooth you’ll almost feel like you’re watching it at the movie theatre—making music with a team that is scattered across every corner of the world has never been easier.

In a perfect scenario, we’d do all of our writing beachside while breathing in the salty air and sipping a pina colada on deck during post-deadline decompression. But in reality, writing looks more like finishing your headline and lede during your morning commute or jotting down the perfect sentence structure while in line grocery shopping. When you do find that moment of stillness and get lost in your creative writing space, plugging into a pair of the Galaxy Buds Live^[6] with an inspiring playlist is the way to go.

Often times you’re a one person show. You’re the photographer, the videographer, the editor, the writer, and your own promoter. Churning out content that punches through the noise of a feed is a demanding job, to say the least. Having a feature like Single Take AI^[7], which captures video and stills in many different effects with one tap, is a time-saving game changer.

The last thing you need to worry about when rushing from a photoshoot to a client meeting is whether your tech can keep up with your schedule. So when you find out the Galaxy S20 FE 5G also has an intelligent battery^[8] that learns your habits and helps optimize its battery life, it’s a real game-changer. And if you forget to charge it because you had a late-night editing pics, no worries — it has Super Fast Charging that can juice up to 50% battery life in just 30 minutes^[9]. You can also share that precious battery wealth with your friends’ Qi-compatible devices using the Wireless PowerShare^[10] feature, which turns your phone into a battery dock.

You’re captivating. You put on a show, whether it’s on stage at a stadium of a thousand or straight into your phone’s camera lens for your digital stage. When you take filming into your own hands, having a Super Steady Camera that records across 5 axes and offers a clear take^[11] giving you added peace of mind. When you’re capturing a performance on your Galaxy S20 FE 5G, give your fans a front-row seat to your show.

The Galaxy S20 FE 5G is available for purchase at Samsung Experience Stores or through Samsung.com/ca, as well as across major Canadian carriers and retail partners Galaxy S20 FE 5G will be available in Cloud Red, Cloud Orange, Cloud Lavender, Cloud Mint, Cloud Navy and Cloud White, with pricing starting at $949.99 (regular price)^[12].

The world may feel like it has come to a standstill in 2020, but over at Samsung, things are going full-steam ahead with the debut of their latest category-defining foldable device—the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G. Designed to shape the future of mobile tech, cutting edge features such as powerful performance, foldable glass and impressive battery life come together in a futuristic and innovative form factor of the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G.

The unique shift of today’s work-life culture underscores the relevance of the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G in a landscape that is constantly changing. With so many questions yet to be answered about the demands of our work and personal lives, having one device that seamlessly consolidates every consideration and feature is a luxury worth pursuing.

It’s no secret that we rely on our devices more than ever in order to keep up with work, stay connected with our loved ones and everything in between. As such, finding a device that you can depend on is critical. No matter what uses you’re relying on your gadgets to tackle — whether it’s a transatlantic conference call, a virtual workout class, or a new show to binge on — the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G is an uncompromising device that makes any demand, from work or life, easy to meet. Here’s how:

Beautiful design

First of all, let’s acknowledge we don’t buy our devices exclusively for their operating systems or new tech features. Beautiful design is powerful and compelling. If you’re going to spend money on a luxury item, you want it to look (and feel) like one, too. Featuring a striking and premium design with innovative engineering, the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G fits the bill. Folded, it’s a phone; unfolded, it looks like a tablet—the best of both worlds.

Transitioning between the two formats is made possible by the Hideaway Hinge which delivers a smooth and fluid motion that leads smartphone folding technology. Achieving multiple angles is also possible with Flex Mode^[1], providing the flexibility to define what works best for your own personal, hands-free experience. Whether you’re streaming content, taking photos or leading a virtual presentation, the days of propping your smartphone up or needing extra equipment and hoping it doesn’t come crashing down are over.

The device is incredibly intuitive – you simply fold it to use Flex view on the Main Screen to make a hands-free video call with Google Duo. Alternatively, you can also flip to Cover View on the front to comfortably watch your favourite show^[2].

Aesthetically speaking, we already mentioned the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G is a premium device which is why it’s not surprising the colour options underline this point. You can opt for the eye-catching and bold Mystic Bronze hue or the highly sophisticated Mystic Black for a timeless look.

For those who enjoy customization, you can also select the colour of the hinge (Metallic Silver, Metallic Gold, Metallic Red, or Metallic Blue) to either complement or contrast your the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G^[3]. Consider this a pocket-sized work of art that you can carry around with you (and show off), wherever you go. And if matching tech is your thing, recent launches from Samsung including new Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Watch3 also come in Mystic Bronze and Mystic Black (in addition to Mystic White for Buds Live and Mystic Silver for Galaxy Watch3) for a sleek ecosystem look and seamless experience.

Featuring a new form factor that not only functions well but creates a bold fashion statement, Galaxy Buds Live further highlight Samsung’s commitment to innovation. With sound by AKG, three microphones and a Voice Pickup Unit, Galaxy Buds Live helps ensure voices come through loud and clear on the phone. They also feature Active Noise Cancellation – great for tuning out distractions in an age where working from home is prevalent.

Consider Galaxy Watch3 your next-generation companion to help you manage your routine, reach your fitness goals and prioritize your wellness. You can access your own personal “fitness studio” with Samsung Health and even send automatic replies to incoming messages, all on your Samsung Galaxy Watch3.

Maximum Viewing

Ample screen real estate continues to be a sought-after smartphone feature, and with a 6.2-inch Infinity-O Cover Screen^[4], the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G has got you covered  – check your email or stream a show without having to unfold the device every time. If, however, you prefer to expand beyond that, you can unfold the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G to access its 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED Main Screen^[5], complete with a notch-less Front Camera, minimal bezels, and a 120Hz^[6] refresh rate for smooth scrolling and entertainment.  Samsung Ultra-Thin Glass is now also included on the Main Screen, delivering a more luxurious feel with rich colours and less blue light for a more comfortable experience.

Switching between folded modes is seamless thanks to the app continuity feature^[7], lending to the overall premium viewing experience. You can simultaneously open up to two apps on the Cover Screen, then unfold the device to see them appear even bigger on the main screen with optimized UI.

The best part? Not only does the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G provide a cinematic experience that fits right in your pocket, the intelligent display detects what you’re doing and shifts the refresh rate.  This not only helps maximize the smartphone’s 4,500mAh (typical) battery,^[8] but also provides the best view for your content. With the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G, you can feel confident when working or streaming your favourite content, even when you don’t have an outlet nearby.

Enhanced Productivity

Of course, a device that aims to do it all needs to ensure a seamless experience. Take multitasking to new levels with the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G and its Multi-Active Window^[9] which grants you the ability to navigate, drag and drop, and work across three apps simultaneously.

This means you can be video chatting in one application while simultaneously taking notes in another. Opening and closing multiple apps for a single task will be a thing of the past! Galaxy Z Fold2 5G also considers intuitive user behaviour: you can customize your UI on the Main Screen to best suit your needs.

In addition, with the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G, you will also be able to access hyperfast connection speeds thanks to 5G^[10] compatibility — a consideration for those looking forward to taking advantage of the latest in network technology.

Endless Entertainment

When the office hours end, the entertainment begins! Increasingly, we’ve begun to rely on our smartphones for needs that extend beyond work. Transitioning between work and play is now easy to do in one device thanks to Flex Mode^[11] which allows you to consume your favourite shows comfortably hands-free. You can fold Galaxy Z Fold2 5G at different angles^[12] to watch various formats and make video calls with friends and family without needing a separate stand or accessory.

Translation: you’ll have a hands-free experience and not have to worry about propping up your phone – you can focus more on watching that new movie or taking in a virtual fitness class. With the Wireless DeX feature, you can multiply your screens by using your Samsung TV as a second display for a cable-free setup that further amplifies your work or play experience.

Content Capture

Entertainment and the ability to work efficiently are critical pillars of a leading smartphone. One could argue, however, that a device’s ability to create content is one of its most important functions. Enter: the camera. With the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G, a whopping five cameras are built in (two 10MP selfie cameras and a 12MP Ultra Wide, Wide-angle, and Telephoto triple camera system on the rear) to offer the very best in control and quality. The Pro Video mode, Single Take, Bright Night, and Night Mode features allow users to bring their memories to life while Dual Preview uses both the Main and Cover Screens so both parties can see what’s being captured.

Additionally, Capture View Mode on the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G lets you review up to five of your most recent captures on the bottom half of the Main Screen without ever leaving the Camera app and Auto framing^[13] lets you record hands-free video in perfect focus even when the subject moves.

Use Flex Mode^[14] on the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G for hands-free photos and videos. This is a new way to experience select apps^[15] by using both halves of the large display to chat, record, browse, edit and more.

Final Thoughts

The Galaxy Z Fold2 5G is a powerful device suited to the needs of high-performance individuals who demand the most from their devices. Think of it as your trusted companion; a reliable assistant that can help with work and life for the person who wants to achieve it all, right now.

With the addition of 5G connectivity^[16], the device is not only a game changer in its category and industry but a beautiful masterpiece that showcases what happens when technology, innovation, and design come together.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G  is available in Mystic Bronze and Mystic Black for $2,779.99 (regular price) on samsung.com/ca, in Samsung Experience Stores across Canada and through Bell Canada.

Samsung has made it easier to get your hands on the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G, thanks to 0% financing for 12, 24 or 36 months on select online purchases^[17]. Experience the latest in innovative smartphone technology from Samsung in a way that fits your budget.

Samsung Electronics Canada introduced Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Buds Live at the first-ever Galaxy Unpacked virtual event livestreamed from Korea, which unveiled a new suite of power devices. Galaxy Watch3 is a next-generation smartwatch that combines timeless craftsmanship with advanced wellness features. Galaxy Buds Live introduce our newest shape of true wireless earbuds, boasting a stylish and ergonomic design paired with premium audio technology.

Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Buds Live are convenient tools to help maintain lifestyle and daily routines. Both devices seamlessly integrate into the wider Galaxy ecosystem to help you live and communicate with ease, getting the most out of your technology.

“Wearables are among the fastest-advancing technology sectors, and the pace of progress is only accelerating. In recent months, we’ve seen immense growth in the market as people turn to smartwatches and earbuds to help them thrive in the ‘Next Normal’”, said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “Since introducing our first smartwatch just seven years ago, we have become a leader in wearable innovation. Today, we’re laser-focused on building on this momentum to offer new and differentiated experiences – combined with the bold design and advanced technology that our customers have come to expect.”

Galaxy Watch3: Manage Your Life with Advanced Wellness Technology

Galaxy Watch3 is a next-generation companion that helps you manage your routines, reach your fitness goals and make wellness a top priority every day. Built with stainless steel and high-quality leather[1], Galaxy Watch3 boasts the craftsmanship of a luxury timepiece, with a transforming look and defining style – yet it is still comfortable enough to wear all day.  Galaxy Watch3 also features the popular rotating bezel from previous Galaxy watch models, which merges form with function. With just a turn of the bezel, you can easily toggle between widgets, open apps and scroll through notifications. Compared to the original Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch3 is 14% thinner, 8% smaller and 15% lighter[2]— combined with a large display. You can also customize the watch face to reflect your personal style. You can choose from over 80,000 watch faces in the Galaxy Store, or design your own. A library of 40 different options allows you to personalize your watch face with information that’s important to you.

Make this latest Galaxy smartwatch, packed with power technology, the center of your wellness experience[3]. With an integrated heart rate sensor for added peace of mind, you can easily keep an eye on your heart rate[4] and track your overall fitness using the fitness tracker. In addition, the Galaxy Watch3 Fall Detection feature[5] enables you to send an SOS SMS message or call to emergency contacts if you have a hard fall.

Beginning a fitness routine can be difficult, but Galaxy Watch3 has an integrated running coach[6] to help keep you on track, and is a powerful exercise companion that delivers real-time feedback and post-exercise evaluations to help drive improvement.

Helpful especially when at home, you have access to a “fitness studio” with Samsung Health, which features a library of more than 120 different video workouts. Simply select a workout routine on your Galaxy smartphone, cast it onto your Samsung Smart TV[7], and your Galaxy Watch3 will take care of the rest and automatically track the workout. Since recovery can be just as important as the exercise, Samsung has been developing its sleep management offering since it was first introduced back in 2014. Now, Galaxy Watch3 offers brand new sleep score and insights to help you get better rest.

In addition, seamless compatibility between the Galaxy Watch3 and other Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy Note20 Series 5G, helps amplify your mobile experiences. You can set automatic reply options for both messages and images, and easily view emoticons and photos directly from your wrist. You can also effortlessly control your mobile experience; play your favourite music from your phone with the rotating bezel; and use simple hand gestures[8], like clenching and unclenching your fist to receive a call, or rotating your wrist to mute alarms or incoming calls.

Galaxy Buds Live: Tune into Every Moment

Galaxy Buds Live introduce our newest shape of true wireless earbuds and defy conventional design – they make a bold fashion statement that projects a unique style. These fashion forward earbuds complete your look while still providing an amazing fit that complements the natural shape of your ear to deliver vibrant sound, without compromising comfort. Samsung has reconfigured the traditional earbud style with an iconic minimalist design that makes a statement.

Galaxy Buds Live were engineered to bring sound to life. Combining AKG’s sound expertise and the legacy of hardware innovation Samsung is known for, Galaxy Buds Live offer a truly immersive audio experience. With a 12mm speaker and bass duct, the audio sounds deep and rich, allowing you to enjoy music the way it was intended. With three microphones and a Voice Pickup Unit, your earbuds hone in on your voice and help ensure you come through loud and clear on the phone. These earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), bringing you live and spacious sound quality, with the ability to tune in (or out) of the world around you.

Galaxy Buds Live offer a convenient and connected listening experience, compatible with a range of devices – seamlessly switch between compatible devices, no disconnecting and reconnecting required. When paired with the latest Galaxy devices, you can open your world to new possibilities. Record crystal clear audio for your video on the Galaxy Note20 Series 5G by using Galaxy Buds Live as a wireless microphone. Use ‘Game Mode’[9] with Galaxy Note20 Series 5G Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, you can enjoy a truly immersive gaming experience. You can also easily share music with friends — without compromising sound quality — using the new Buds Together[10] feature.

For convenient navigation, Galaxy Buds Live feature an intuitive touch-based PUI (physical user interface)[11] for touch control, as well as Bixby voice wake-up[12], which allows you to navigate music, open apps, and send messages hands-free. Plus, Galaxy Buds Live come with a long-lasting battery life that keeps you tuned in longer. Stay powered with sound through work and play with up to 6 hours of non-stop listening[13] and up to 21 hours of battery life with the charging case[14].
