Visitors to the Samsung booth will get a first-hand look at the latest Samsung Galaxy innovations through immersive and interactive exhibits.

“At Samsung, we believe the future of Galaxy innovation lies in sustainability commitment and open collaboration with partners,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “At MWC this year, we’re excited to showcase how our latest lineups including the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy Book3 Ultra, exemplify Samsung’s approach to enabling new possibilities that enhance our daily lives.”

Epic Experiences With Powerful Products and Services

Samsung’s latest innovations are setting a new standard for premium mobile experiences that are further enhanced by its ecosystem of products and services. At MWC 2023, Samsung is showcasing how the Galaxy S23 series embodies its commitment to industry-leading innovation, with epic content-capturing and creating experiences and a more eco-conscious design.

The Galaxy S23 series’ advanced camera system gives users more freedom to explore their creativity, allowing them to capture truly cinematic photos and videos. Visitors to the booth can test out the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s all-new camera features, including Nightography capabilities in a low-light, 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor[1] for photos with incredible details, as well as advanced portrait photos with an AI Stereo Depth Map. The Galaxy S23 series offers the fastest and most powerful performance ever in Galaxy to gamers and creators[2]. Visitors can play racing games at the booth and experience the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s powerful gaming performance.

At the core of Samsung Galaxy Ultra innovation is the connected experience with the expanded Galaxy ecosystem. Visitors can explore seamless phone to PC connected features with the all-new Galaxy Book3 Ultra, which offers fast and frictionless movement across multiple devices, screens and operating systems. MWC attendees can also discover the best of Samsung’s services with demos for sleep coaching with Samsung Health on the Galaxy Watch5, Samsung Wallet and connecting and controlling home devices with SmartThings. They can also explore privacy features and the endless customization options available on Galaxy devices with One UI 5.1.

All the Galaxy S23 series’ new standard-setting innovations are housed within a striking design that advances Samsung’s sustainability commitment. The Galaxy S23 series incorporates recycled materials in more device components than in any other previous Galaxy smartphone[3] and is built to last with durability and reparability, making it dependable for years to come. At the booth, attendees can learn about Samsung’s new commitment to its concept of “Everyday Sustainability” and check out an immersive art installation composed of multiple generations of upcycled S series devices.

Samsung Integrations Across MWC In Collaboration with Partners

Samsung believes in open collaboration and working with industry leading partners to create the best experiences for its customers. Thanks to this approach, visitors will be able to find Samsung at various partner booths throughout this year’s MWC. Attendees can visit the Android Avenue (between Hall2 and Hall3) to learn about the eco-conscious materials used in the Galaxy S23 series, customize the sound notifications on the latest Galaxy smartphones, and even snap some selfies right from the Galaxy Watch5 on exhibit. Samsung will also be part of Qualcomm’s booth (Hall3, 3E10) where visitors can check out the leading performance of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, featuring the brand-new Snapdragon^® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy. The Samsung Display Booth (Hall 2, 2K40) will demonstrate the durability of Samsung’s Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) used on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold4. Visitors can also experience first-hand the clear and vivid Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display used on the Galaxy Book3 series.

To celebrate the launch of its latest products, Samsung will be on full display with advertisements for the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Book3 series and Galaxy family of devices in marquee locations at Fira Barcelona Gran Via including the mega billboard, main entrance, and exterior flag poles and hanging banners.

The Samsung MX booth (Hall3, 3I10) at MWC is located in Hall 3 of the Fira Barcelona Gran Via.

Samsung Electronics announced that One UI 5.1, which was newly unveiled with the Galaxy S23 series at Galaxy Unpacked 2023, will begin to roll out worldwide  for other Galaxy devices starting with the Galaxy S22 series[1], Z Fold4, Z Flip4, S21 series[2], and S20 series[3] in the coming weeks. With One UI 5.1, Galaxy devices will deliver a more visually appealing interface with new features that enable greater creativity and personalization for a more convenient overall experience.  

“One UI 5.1 is the up-to-date example of Samsung’s commitment to providing Galaxy users with the latest innovations as soon as possible,” said Janghyun Yoon, EVP and Senior Executive, Software Office. “Over the past several weeks, we have worked closely with our service providers and carrier partners to bring One UI 5.1 to current Galaxy smartphones and tablets around the world within a few short weeks of the Galaxy S23 series announcement.”

Professional-Quality Camera and More Engaging Gallery

One UI 5.1 expands upon the recently upgraded camera features announced with the Galaxy S23 series. Galaxy users now have greater flexibility to create professional quality photos with Expert RAW[4] features, now available directly as part of the Galaxy Camera app. Simply select “More” while taking a photo to capture high-quality shots in their raw format. In addition, enhanced AI-based Photo Remaster automatically improves deteriorated details of images by improving brightness, fine-tuning details and making colour corrections even in backlit scenes. It also removes unwanted shadows and reflections for a picture-perfect photo.[5]

Enhanced Photo Remaster

New navigation improvements also make it easy to find photos within the Gallery app and create shared family albums[6]. Simply tap a person’s face in a photo to conduct a search for more images while the Gallery app searches for faces of loved ones to recommend for family photo albums.

A Unique Mobile Experience Personalized for Every User

Samsung has also been focused on giving Galaxy users greater control over their devices by customizing various user interface aspects. One UI 5.1 delivers several exciting new features that allow people to fine-tune nearly every aspect of the mobile experience – from appearance, to communications, actions and more. Samsung introduced new features that can understand how devices are used and make recommendations accordingly. For example, the new dynamic weather widget analyzes current conditions and creates a custom design that reflects the climate. Modes and Routines have expanded to enable custom wallpapers, ringtones, touch sensitivity and fonts that can personalize specific activities for even more convenience. One UI 5.1 also improves the Smart suggestions widget[7] by adding the ability to recommend Spotify[8] tracks and playlists based on users’ activities, such as music for road trips or relaxation.

Greater Connectivity throughout the Galaxy Ecosystem

Samsung has also developed One UI to bring greater integration and connectivity throughout the mobile ecosystem and introduced features supporting this objective. Users can enjoy a connected ecosystem across their mobile and PC devices with expanded Multi control between their Galaxy Book and smartphones[10]. This enables users to share the mouse, keyboard or trackpad of their Galaxy Book not only with their Galaxy tablet, but now also with select Galaxy phones [11], allowing them to seamlessly copy and paste text and drag and drop images from one device to another — as if they’re the same, single device. Furthermore, Link to Windows enables users to browse with Samsung Internet on their phones to continue browsing the same pages on their PC[12]. These pages can also be opened either on one device or a different device, making everyday life easier.
