For more than a decade, people all over the world have consistently enhanced their productivity and creativity by turning to Galaxy smartphones. Chief among them, the Galaxy S Ultra series, which is built on a legacy of innovation from our Galaxy Note series has become synonymous with boundless creativity and is loved by countless Galaxy fans.

With its incredible power, expansive screen and iconic S Pen, Galaxy S Ultra is renowned for helping people seamlessly follow their inspirations or capture ideas anytime, anywhere – even without unlocking the phone and digging for a note-taking app.

Creativity Like Never Before

Last year, Samsung introduced Galaxy AI, ushering a new era of mobile experiences. This innovative technology helped the Galaxy S Ultra series evolve into an even more indispensable tool for maximizing creative freedom. And now, your creativity is about to reach new heights.

Sketch to Image[1], now integrated into Drawing assist, is now evolving. Utilizing more than a single input, like drawing with S Pen or your finger, it is becoming a multimodal experience. Now you can breathe life into your ideas by sketching them, writing out a description of the image you want with text, or using the voice command say what to draw. If you can envision it, Galaxy AI can help you create it.

Let’s say you want to really let your imagination run wild. You can draw a cat using S Pen and then, with multimodal Galaxy AI, you can type “space suit” to put your cat in a space suit and visualize them in outer space. Or maybe you’re thinking about your dream home. Using S Pen, you can make a quick drawing of the façade. But maybe you’re not sure where you want your dream home to be. Simply type some possible locations, like “by the beach” or “in the mountains” and Sketch to Image will help you see your future home in a new light.

From Note to Ultra and Beyond

This level of creative freedom is built on a legacy of innovation that began in 2011, when we introduced the Galaxy Note to redefine what was creatively possible on a smartphone. That power and spirit of innovation lives on through the Galaxy S Ultra series, and it continues to evolve with Galaxy AI.

With One UI 7, Samsung’s first integrated AI platform, your phone will become a true AI companion that understands natural language through text and speech, as well as images. It will be a new era of multimodal mobile AI that enables incredible creativity. But this is just a preview. Tune into Galaxy Unpacked on January 22 to see how the next Galaxy S series can truly unleash your creativity.

The Galaxy Tab series serves as a versatile companion to professionals who prioritize work-life balance, supporting both work and leisure. The lightweight, portable design allows users to maximize productivity with powerful multitasking capabilities during the workday — while the rich selection of entertainment and streaming features elevates relaxation after work.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is Samsung Electronics’ first AI-powered tablet and latest premium offering. Through various features optimized for a larger screen, the device has garnered enthusiastic responses from Galaxy fans. Samsung Newsroom explored how the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra can support modern individuals as they pursue balance in their work and personal lives.

Unleashing the Power of AI on an Ultra-Large Screen

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra boasts the largest screen in the Galaxy Tab series so far — and with the integration of Galaxy AI, the device has become even more capable. Designed to be a dependable tool for professionals who frequently handle extensive documents and search for various resources online, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is poised to significantly enhance work efficiency.

▲ (From left) The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Circle to Search

When viewed vertically, the huge 14.6-inch screen allows users to read large amounts of text with less scrolling. The screen can also be divided into three sections to create a multitasking environment that improves productivity and adapts to individual workflows.

Circle to Search with Google, a feature that enables easy searches with a simple gesture, becomes even more powerful with the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. Streamlined for the massive screen, this intuitive image-based search can display more results and information.

Furthermore, the large screen proves invaluable when viewing resources on social media or PDF documents in foreign languages. With a press of the Galaxy AI button, PDF files are translated in real time. The Translation[1] feature allows users to absorb information quickly and efficiently.

Making Meetings Smarter From Note-Taking to Minute-Taking

Meetings are an integral part of work, but lengthy sessions can make keeping track of information and conversations difficult. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra offers a smarter way to participate in meetings and stay organized with features designed for efficient note- and minute-taking.

▲ Note Assist

Note Assist[2] is handy for meetings since the feature records users’ voices and automatically transcribes the content. AI technology will summarize meetings and provide translations if necessary, allowing users to focus entirely on the discussions at hand. What’s more, Galaxy AI assists in taking minutes — significantly reducing the time required for post-meeting tasks.

The benefits of the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra continue even after meetings end. The tablet’s large screen provides a comprehensive view of the conversation’s flow, ensuring that key points can be reviewed without missing any details. When jotting down notes in a hurry, users need not worry about messy handwriting. Handwriting mode[3] enhances the legibility of scribbles by leveling text, aligning lines, adjusting word spacing and more. Now, users can keep their notes neat and organized to make reviews a breeze.

Working Without Boundaries Anytime, Anywhere

▲ More portable than ever, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra can serve as a secondary monitor for a laptop.

Although the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has the largest screen in the Galaxy Tab series, the device remains comfortably portable with a sleek 5.4-mm thickness and lighter weight when compared to its predecessor. Perfect for different working styles, the tablet can be taken anywhere — whether that’s home, a café or a coworking space.

For those with a laptop, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra’s Second screen feature is a game-changer. By connecting the tablet to a laptop, users can extend or duplicate their screen to enhance productivity and multitask on a larger workspace.

▲ The Book Cover Keyboard with the AI Assistant [4] key allows the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra to be used like a laptop.

Equipped with a Book Cover Keyboard and Bluetooth mouse, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra works just like a laptop. Both the Book Cover Keyboard and Book Cover Keyboard Slim accessories include a dedicated key for instant access to AI Assistant. With a single tap, users can work smarter and more efficiently.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra takes after-work leisure to the next level by elevating creativity, enhancing entertainment and enriching enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures.

Transform Sketches Into Masterpieces With S Pen

True to its title as an AI tablet, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra’s S Pen also leverages AI. By simply picking up the S Pen and pressing the pen-shaped icon on the right side of the screen, users can activate Air Command for a range of AI capabilities. Sketch to Image[5] automatically transforms simple sketches into high-quality images through AI recognition. These images can then be rendered into various styles — including watercolor, illustration, pop art and 3D cartoon — making it easy for anyone to create art. The tablet’s large screen further enhances this experience, providing a spacious digital canvas for unleashing creativity.

Playing Immersive Games With Enhanced Performance

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra handles demanding, high-performance mobile games by leveraging the advanced cooling system to prevent the tablet from overheating, even during extended gaming sessions.

Maximizing Immersion for Exceptional Viewing Experiences

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra’s 14.6-inch screen provides an immersive experience for both video watching and gaming. The Dynamic AMOLED 2X display delivers crisp, high-definition images and colours as the 120Hz refresh rate supports smoother transitions. While the anti-reflection[6] screen minimizes glare, Vision Booster adjusts the display based on external brightness for more comfortable viewing.

▲ Go to Sound quality and effects in Settings and select Dialogue Boost Alt)▲ Settings > Sound quality and effects > Dialogue Boost

Notably, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra’s Dialogue Boost uses AI technology to analyze voices and isolate conversational speech for enhanced clarity when watching content on streaming platforms. To activate this feature, select Sound quality and effects under Settings and tap Dialogue Boost. Users will be able to more clearly hear conversations in TV shows and movies for an immersive experience.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra provide superb picture and sound quality along with convenient features to enrich your leisure time.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra delivers a comprehensive mobile experience on an expansive screen with its unique Galaxy AI features. For today’s professionals, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is a premium tablet bringing new meaning to work-life balance.

Samsung Electronics today announced the number of Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip smartphones sold for enterprise use has more than doubled year on year. From January to October 2022, the number of foldable smartphones Samsung contracted to enterprise customers increased by 105% compared to the same period in 2021.[1]

With foldable smartphone shipments expected to reach 16 million units worldwide [2] – an increase of 73% year on year – the form factor is rapidly becoming mainstream, and shipments are expected to grow to 26 million units in 2023. The ease of multitasking on a large screen, and the powerful app optimizations for foldable devices, are helping drive adoption among enterprise users.

Benefits of Foldables for Enterprise Users

As companies shift towards work-from-anywhere policies, they are looking to technology for new ways to maximize productivity. Foldables have particularly attracted the financial services industry, where 74%[3] of a sample group of financial advisors say staying connected via mobile apps is important or critical.

“Samsung Galaxy foldable smartphones were created to open up opportunities for new ways to work and explore creativity,” said KC Choi, EVP and Head of Global Mobile B2B Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “This rapid growth in investment demonstrates our enterprise customers’ need for meaningful innovations to enhance workforce productivity.”

The Galaxy Z Fold4 – Samsung’s fourth-generation foldable smartphone – is a multi-tasking powerhouse ideal for business use. Despite its pocket-friendly dimensions, it offers a large, expansive sized screen, making it easier to get things done compared to traditional smartphone screens.

The Galaxy Z Fold4’s expansive screen offers a larger working area, well suited to make the most of features from desktop computers. The perfect tool for juggling multiple tasks and pairs of apps, the PC-like Taskbar enables users to manage, launch and switch between apps, all without interrupting work.

The huge screen space is also a natural fit for working with Multi Windows. The Galaxy Z Fold4 can open up to three apps at once, including two of the same app for side-by-side comparisons. For example, users can respond to Gmail while viewing two Chrome browser tabs, just like working at a desk with multiple screens.

The Galaxy Z Fold4 also adapts to workflow needs. Flex Mode not only provides a hands-free experience for major video conferencing tools, it can now support dedicated e-signature or note-taking capabilities on partner apps using S Pen.[4]

Powerful Partnerships That Enhance the Experience of Foldable Devices

These experiences have been popular across many sectors of businesses and industries. In the current market, competition is fierce, especially in the financial services sector. Professionals need the best tools to help them maintain consistency and routine, even while working remotely.

Their devices must support complex workflows, including alerts, research, charts and portfolios, and give them the power and productivity advantage they need to stay competitive. Working with industry-leading partners, Samsung has enhanced Galaxy Z Fold4’s utility in unique ways, leading to wider adoption of foldables for enterprise use.

According to a recent survey, the Bloomberg Professional app[5] is the most used financial services app by investment professionals, such as traders, analysts and portfolio managers.[6] It takes advantage of the Galaxy Z Fold’s unique form factor to enable financial professionals to access Bloomberg’s market data, analytics, news, and communications on the go in a more intuitive and immersive way, while preserving the user experience and functionality with which they are familiar. On Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, the Bloomberg Professional app’s adaptive layout provides for easy continuity and multitasking on the go. Users can effortlessly switch from the cover screen, ideal for quick Instant Bloomberg (IB) conversations, to the large screen that makes it easier to read news stories, monitoring real-time market data, browse portfolios or perform chart analysis. This allows financial professionals to do familiar work in an enhanced way on their foldable device.

DocuSign,[7] which offers the world’s leading e-signature solution and is used by 24 of the top 25 Fortune 500 Financial companies[8] has also been optimized for Android 12L. The Galaxy Z Fold4’s takes the hassle out of signing agreements on large screens. Users can now quickly drag and drop email attachments in multi-view mode directly into DocuSign eSignature, seal deals quickly on the go with Samsung’s S Pen[9] and the dedicated Flex Mode signature.

And, for the financial professionals constantly in and out of the office, DocuSign created a PC-Like experience using Samsung DeX mode. Simply connect the device to a monitor and thanks to DocuSign’s high-resolution support and adaptive design approach, professionals receive the same grade experience for any screen size or orientation.

Samsung also collaborated with IBM[10] to address challenges financial professionals may face helping clients while working from anywhere. IBM iX, the experience design partner within IBM Consulting, worked with a leading financial institution to develop the mobile experience, helping wealth advisors quickly access and manage market and portfolio information. The integration of Samsung DeX and S Pen[11] enables users to interact with data, drag and drop files between apps, translate handwriting to text and even capture digital signatures in a full desktop-like environment on their foldable device. Samsung’s philosophy of openness also enabled the incorporation of other popular applications for video conferencing, client contacts, email and schedules within a multi-app interface.

Samsung is committed to working with industry-leading partners to create new mobile experiences, and collaborating more closely in coming months to take advantage of ground-breaking technologies like foldable smartphones.

Samsung Electronics Canada today unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, merging the power of the Galaxy Note series with the pro-grade camera and performance of the Galaxy S series to set a new standard for premium mobile technology. Featuring a built-in S Pen, advanced Nightography and video capabilities, and battery life that lasts over a day[1], Galaxy S22 Ultra is the most powerful Ultra device from Samsung to date.

“At Samsung, we constantly push ourselves to raise the bar on our most premium devices,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ MX (Mobile eXperience) Business. “Galaxy S22 Ultra takes the beloved functionality of the Galaxy Note and the most celebrated aspects of the Galaxy S series and merges them for a truly unique mobile experience. This is a leap forward for mobile technology, setting a new standard for what a smartphone can be.”

The Most Powerful Samsung Galaxy S Series Phone Yet

For the first time ever, Note users’ favourite built-in S Pen is coming to a Galaxy S series device[2] — and it’s the fastest, most responsive S Pen we’ve ever made. With 70% lower latency[3] you can write and draw naturally on the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s expansive screen, delivering new ways to unleash.

With seamlessly integrated camera lenses and a sleek metal frame that creates a mirrored effect, Galaxy S22 Ultra both feels and looks premium. Luxurious glass and haze finishing adds an elegant touch to the reimagined linear, floating layout – complete with Galaxy Note’s iconic sharp angles – all encased in a durable, streamlined design.

Whether you’re viewing content or creating your own, Galaxy S22 Ultra’s immersive 6.8-inch[4], Dynamic AMOLED 2x adaptive 120Hz display brings everything to life in stunning detail with a peak brightness of 1,750nit[5]. Plus, Vision Booster technology enables Galaxy S22 Ultra to intelligently adjust brightness throughout the day for an impressive viewing experience – even in bright sunlight.

Capture Stunning Photos and Videos, Day or Night

With Galaxy S22 Ultra, you can capture post-worthy footage regardless of lighting conditions. With Advanced Nightography, you can snap crisp, clear video – with both the front and back cameras – day or night. Built with a 2.4um pixel sensor[6], the Super Clear Glass lens captures more light and data to optimize video quality for smoother and clearer nighttime video without flares. Video Auto Framing also ensures your camera captures exactly who you want — whether that’s one person or ten[7].

And with zooming capabilities that get you 100x closer to the action[8], Galaxy S22 Ultra isn’t just the most powerful camera from Samsung yet, it’s also the smartest[9]. Packed with new AI supported features like the enhanced Portrait Mode, Galaxy S22 Ultra is built to capture impressive photos regardless of whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer.

Galaxy S22 Ultra also offers exclusive access to the Expert RAW app[10], delivering a comprehensive suite of in-camera editing tools for a DSLR-like experience. With the ability to save photos in RAW format up to 16bit, you can take control over your edits with access to more data. And just like a DSLR camera, you can brighten or darken your images with ISO settings and shutter speed, adjust the white balance to appear more warm or cool, and manually focus on your desired subject for even more creative control.

Unbridled Power and Performance

Built for the most productive workdays, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is equipped with the latest 4nm processor, capable of powering advanced Samsung AI and ML processing. It also features Wi-Fi 6E connectivity up to twice as fast as Wi-Fi 6[11] — this means you can enjoy unrivaled performance on all your most-used apps whether gaming, streaming, or working[12].

In addition, Galaxy S22 Ultra delivers all-day intelligent battery[13] paired with 45W super-fast charging — you can record 50 minutes of video after just a 10-minute charge[14].

Security You Can Trust

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is secured by the powerful Samsung Knox Vault security platform, which includes a secure processor and memory that isolates sensitive data like your passwords, biometrics or Blockchain keys from the phone’s main operating system. One UI’s privacy Permission Usage and Mic/Cam sensor Indicator make it easy to see which apps are accessing your data and camera, so you can decide whether to grant or deny permission to each app. The Galaxy S22 Ultra also introduces several new security features —including the ARM micro architecture — which helps prevents cyberattacks that target your operating system and memory.

Plus, the Galaxy S22 Ultra brings you Samsung Wallet[15] – a seamless, convenient, and secure experience to make everyday life easier. Samsung Wallet combines digital payment, ID, keys and digital asset management into one tool to simplify your routine, from showing your student ID to compiling travel documents before a flight.

Connect Seamlessly Between your Galaxy Devices

Alongside the Galaxy S22 Ultra and other Galaxy S22 series devices, Samsung is introducing an all-new line of tablets and a pack of updated features for Samsung Galaxy Watch4, so Galaxy users can stay connected in every aspect of their lives. Built for a new era of connectivity, Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series ­– including Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8+ and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra – is the most versatile line of tablets yet from Samsung, built and designed to meet the ever-changing needs of those who work, study, play and create.

By: Dr. TM Roh, President & Head of MX Business

When I look around me, I’m astounded by how much innovation exists in our world today. Yet I am most excited about the evolution of the smartphone. This device gave way to new digital industries – to remote work, schooling, entertainment and fitness – and opened up exploration and communication opportunities with anyone, anywhere, with the touch of a finger. The smartphone is a portal to infinite progress. And at Samsung, we have never taken that for granted.

It’s not enough for mobile innovation to just evolve with the world. We have to be a step ahead, so our technology can help transform the way we experience everything around us and make our lives easier. That’s why at Samsung we constantly push ourselves to break the rules of what a smartphone can do.

Breaking the Rules to Start the Next Chapter in Smartphone History

In 2011, the Galaxy Note merged the convenience and portability of smartphones with the expansive screen and notepad-like functionality of tablets. Some balked at the display — considered enormous then — but Note created a legacy where a large display is now the standard. The S Pen also surprised everyone. It empowered people to bridge creativity and productivity – whenever inspiration struck, they could quickly write down their ideas and thoughts in Samsung Notes.

In 2019, we dared to redefine smartphones once again. We launched our Galaxy Z Fold series and brought an entirely new form factor to the mobile industry. Our cutting-edge foldable design changed how people used their phones. With Flex Mode^[1], video calls are hands-free and more convenient. Multitasking with multiple windows^[2] is also a breeze, with Galaxy Z Fold3 5G unfolding to an expansive, tablet-sized screen^[3].

Innovating by Listening to Consumers and Taking Note

In a sea of smartphone sameness and iterative updates, our ambition remains firm: to detect the signals that transformation is stirring by listening to feedback and continuing to deliver mobile experiences that empower smartphone evolution.

In today’s technology age, the cab of every truck or delivery van has become a sophisticated mobile office to some extent. This transformation is due in part to rapidly advancing mobile technologies and the development of applications specific to the logistics industry.

Logistics, the movement of goods from manufacturer to warehouse and warehouse to consumer, relies on mobile technology to assist with item tracking, scanning and records management, among other tasks. These activities are critical to the safe and accurate delivery of client goods.

John Corey, president of the Freight Management Association of Canada, says his industry has always required cutting-edge communication and technology to meet its obligations.

“The first telegraph lines were on rail lines and they were used to communicate where trains were,” he says. “Transportation is always pushing communication technology. It makes sense that this sector would embrace mobile technology.”

Today, the freight industry is looking to mobile technology to further streamline its processes. Thanks to the latest mobile computer vision software, barcode scanning is now available in real-time on smartphones and tablets, speeding up the flow of goods and delivery to the consumer.

“You used to require a lot of paperwork to cross the borders — 75 per cent of our exports go to the U.S. — some by train, a lot by truck,” Mr. Corey says. “If you go to the border and you have your paper manifest… it’s extremely time-consuming and the border is already busy enough… If you don’t have it electronically, you get turned away.”

Unloading inefficiency with connected mobile tech

With barcode scanning technology now available on mobile devices, including the Samsung Galaxy rugged lineup, item tracking and data management within the delivery sector has received a huge efficiency boost.

 “Logistics workers are no longer required to carry a separate device to scan barcodes, which is a huge bonus for delivery drivers who are constantly on deadlines, moving from location to location,” says Paul Edwards, vice-president and general manager of enterprise mobility at Samsung Canada.

The Samsung Galaxy rugged lineup – which includes the Galaxy XCover Pro, Galaxy Tab Active Pro and Galaxy Tab Active3 – are all equipped with the Knox Capture[1] enterprise-grade barcode scanning app.

“Workers simply press a pre-programmed button on any Galaxy rugged device to activate the scan, and from there, they can scan multiple items at once. The data retrieved can then be used to update the (tracking) application,” he says.

The other benefit of Knox Capture barcode scanning, says Edwards, is that there’s minimal work for the IT teams who need to deploy the solution. “Knox Capture requires zero coding and integration – it’s truly an out of the box solution,” he notes.

Having accessible mobile technology is key in the logistics industry, where there are multiple checkpoints and links in the delivery chain.

“Having an open, instant line of communication helps workers identify and resolve any issues that may delay the process of getting packages from the warehouse to customers’ doors,” Mr. Edwards says.

To that end, the Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro smartphone offers a Push-to-Talk, Microsoft Teams Walkie Talkie feature so workers can keep in touch more easily during the order fulfilment process.

With a smartphone or tablet in the truck cab, the driver benefits from a mobile office at his or her fingertips, Mr. Corey says.

“Big companies, who have big fleets, are pushing technology in their trucks. Single operators are being forced to catch up because if they can’t compete with that kind of technology, no one will hire them,” Mr. Corey says.

Built to last from door to door

In addition to rich features and innovative functionality, drivers and warehouse workers require their mobile devices to be rugged, says Edwards.

“If you’re going to have a smartphone or tablet in that environment, it has to be well-protected,” Mr. Corey says. “It can’t break the first time you drop it and it has to be sort of immune to vibration.”

There are inevitable bumps and shocks that come from travelling in a delivery truck, so the devices mounted to drivers’ dashboards need to be able to handle those conditions. According to Edwards, it’s why the Samsung Galaxy rugged lineup was built with military-grade durability, to withstand shocks and vibrations, transit drops and extreme temperatures.[2]

Devices must also be able to withstand the dust and dirt typical of warehouse environments.

“Warehouse workers are not going to spend all their time wiping down and keeping the tablet clean,” Mr. Corey adds. 

The IP68-rating on the Galaxy Tab Active Pro and Galaxy Tab Active3 with included S Pen stylus mean they are resistant to dust and water[3], adds Mr. Edwards.

“This enables delivery workers to capture signatures digitally from customers after a package is delivered, even in the middle of a rainstorm, or make annotations on an electronic waybill form while working in the warehouse,” he says.

The Samsung lineup of rugged devices also has defence-grade security safeguards in place to ensure restricted access to the devices, which comes in handy when transporting classified cargo.

“Even when the devices are powered off, Samsung Knox helps secure business data stored on the devices against intrusion, malware and other malicious threats,” Mr. Edwards says, noting that an added layer of protection is also available through fingerprint scanners and biometric facial recognition software.

“This helps to help further restrict access to only those individuals who have been cleared to handle the device,” he says.

Rugged smartphones and tablets are an important lifeline for delivery drivers and warehouse workers who rely on them to communicate with colleagues and supply consumers with real-time delivery updates.

The devices, and the applications on them, are what make it possible for consumers to receive the updates they now expect, and for the order fulfillment process to run as smoothly as possible.

Construction and heavy industry workers are adding sophisticated technology to their toolbelts.

These workers need powerful mobile devices to access and share huge streams of data, says Erich Schmidt, manager of public affairs and innovation for the Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA).

Mr. Schmidt says his members also need phones and tablets with reliability, range and various application capabilities.

“In the conventional sense, contractors are making sure all the different stakeholders and the sub-trades were in alignment,” Mr. Schmidt says. “As our industry becomes increasingly modernized, it’s critical that connectivity follows.”

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the use of digital technology in the field as more work went remote.

“In the Canadian construction market, the pandemic has forced our industry to adapt and innovate far faster than ever before,” Mr. Schmidt says. “Instead of having the general contractor at the site all the time, assessing the conditions and interacting with the workers — to limit the number of persons on site — they’re sharing information [digitally] more than they ever did.”

There’s also an increasing use of building information modelling (BIM), Mr. Schmidt says.  “Our members need to be able to access and send and interact with large amounts of data on a regular basis.”

When it comes to a renovation or rebuilding of existing structures, mobile technology allows the on-site worker to communicate the difference between what they’re seeing and what’s recorded in the original drawings.

“Someone with specific information in a sub-trade can access the model and help minimize conflicts in the design,” Mr. Schmidt says.

How the right device can help

Samsung has developed a line of devices that are both rugged and provide the technological capabilities required for construction and heavy industry work.

“Just as we built our rugged devices for strength and durability, we also looked to embed features within them that would allow frontline teams to maximize their use, so the individual worker can ideally carry around a single device that meets more than just their need for connectivity and communication,” says Paul Edwards, vice-president and general manager of Enterprise Mobility for Samsung Canada.

For example, construction projects require workers to reference blueprints and design files as they build their structures. Mr. Edwards says the Galaxy Tab Active3 and Galaxy Tab Active Pro tablets come with the S Pen, a digital stylus that allows construction workers and engineers to markup blueprints while in the field and immediately share updated files with others on the team.

And, he says because the S Pen is also IP68-certified[1] for water and dust resistance, “it can be used in the pouring rain or next to a machine churning out particulate.”

Mr. Edwards says the Samsung Galaxy rugged lineup, which also includes the Galaxy XCover Pro smartphone, is built to military specifications[2]^,[3] and can withstands drops[4] and shocks as well as extreme temperatures, low pressure and high-altitude. They are also resistant to dust, water and can even be submerged up to 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes1.

Construction workers are coming to the job site wearing their protective gear, Mr. Edwards says, adding that the Samsung rugged devices have screens with “enhanced touch sensitivity[5], which allows for interactions even with gloves on.”

Smartphone range is also crucial for industries like construction. “Further afield adds a level of complexity to how data is shared,” says Mr. Schmidt of the OGCA. “Often we see construction only in the context of the city but it can get complicated when dealing with an area that doesn’t have that connectivity.”

Mr. Edwards says the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 keeps workers connected with Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication) Capabilities, Wi-Fi 6[6] and dual-antenna support.

“There is also an LTE model available, so teams can stay connected when Wi-Fi is out of range.”

Workers can also stay connected longer with long-lasting batteries that can last for up to 14 hours[7] on a single charge. To help stay in touch around the job site, construction workers can also launch Microsoft Teams Walkie Talkie with a single button press on the Galaxy XCover Pro smartphone.

Increased real-time communication, from job site to contractor to designer and owner, has proven a money and time saver for the contracting industry, Mr. Schmidt says.

“It reduces time and coordination. It improves estimates. There’s another level of connectivity with the owner,” he says, adding that the new collaboration models for contracting creates efficiency in scheduling and minimizing change orders.

Rugged mobile technology is quickly becoming a toolset construction workers can’t work without.

Featuring the Under Display Camera technology, Galaxy Z Fold3 5G lets you fully immerse yourself into your favourite games and movies on the Main Screen with no distractions. But that’s not all. For the first time ever on a foldable smartphone, you can now write down your idea or draw sketches with the optional S Pen1. Galaxy Z Fold3 5G provides everything you need to stay productive and let your creativity run wild.  

Check out the video below to learn more about the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and the S Pen. 

Since then, the S Pen has undergone multiple innovations to transform it from a mere stylus into an independent device on its own. For example – you no longer need to rely on just your smartphone to take a picture; the S Pen can do that for you.

The 10 years that have passed since the debut of the S Pen have been filled with countless innovations and challenges. Follow along as we chart the evolution of this significant stylus, from its debut as a simple smartphone accessory to its latest form as its own separate device.

Identity: How the S Pen has Taken on Real Pen-Like Qualities

The S Pen is designed to provide the experience of writing with a real pen. Since its debut with the first Galaxy Note device in 2011, the S Pen has continued to provide improved pressure sensitivity from 256, 1024, and 2048 levels to a remarkable 4096 sensitivity level. Pressure sensitivity determines how much you can vary the width of the lines you draw with your S Pen; the higher it is, the more precisely the stylus will respond to your control. The S Pen’s high pressure sensitivity allows you to control the stroke weight of your stylus as you apply varying amounts of pressure to your screen, and the diameter of the S Pen’s tip has also been reduced over the years from 1.6mm to 0.7mm to allow for delicate strokes when drawing. This means that the S Pen not only feels like a real pen in your hands but also writes and draws like one.

When it comes to notetaking, every user has their own habits, be it using a specific highlighter to mark important passages in a text or preferring a slim pen tip for writing. The S Pen, which initially provided four pen types – Pen, Pencil, Brush and Highlighter – today offers a wide variety of pen options, including Calligraphy and Fountain pen options. The true-to-life S Pen experience even comes with a different writing sound for each pen option you choose, and the sound effect of a pen cap closing when the S Pen is re-inserted into the device provides a satisfying, realistic feel, too. Furthermore, the eye-dropper tool, which makes it easy to lift colours from an image or a text, has also been added for easy pen colour customization.

As the S Pen continued to evolve, a built-in battery was added for optimized usage and user convenience. Users need simply plug their S Pen back into their device to automatically charge it; Galaxy Note20 users can enjoy a fully charged S Pen in just 7 minutes, with a standby time of 24 hours.^[1]

In line with all these innovations, it is the S Pen’s response time that truly grants it that life-like writing experience. In the latest Samsung mobile devices, such as the Galaxy Note10 or Galaxy Note20, the S Pen features AI technology that bolster the pen’s acceleration and gyro sensors in order to predict pen movement and improve accuracy, resulting in a response time that is 80% faster than the previous model. Combined with a 120Hz display, this faster S Pen provides a remarkably smooth user experience.

Performance: Evolving from a Simple Stylus to a Pen

Over the past 10 years, the S Pen has developed into a versatile pen with a wide range of features. One such highlight of this evolution is the S Pen’s Air Command menu. When you eject the S Pen or click its button, a series of essential S Pen feature icons appear on-screen. These days, the Air Command menu emerges in a line, as opposed to the fan shape that earlier models featured, in order to display more icons at once. Users can even customize the actions and icons that appear so as to enjoy effortless and instant access to their most frequently used features.

Colourful messages written down using the Screen off memo feature

Another notable S Pen functionality is the Screen off memo function, which was included to broaden the horizon of quick notetaking. This feature lets users write their notes down directly onto the lock screen once they have popped out their S Pen. The resulting note can then be pinned to the Always On Display, or saved to Samsung Notes, and over the years, this feature has seen more options for pen tips, colours and canvas size included to help you capture your inspiration in real time.

Following the application of various improvements and innovations since its inception, the S Pen has evolved to truly became a device on its own. The revolutionized S Pen features Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) connectivity, meaning that users can control their music, camera app and more directly from their S Pen within a certain distance[2] – similar to a remote control.

In recent years, the S Pen has only seen more expansion of its scope. The introduction of S Pen Air actions allows users to control their smartphone’s applications by pressing their S Pen’s side button. With Air actions, you can harness intuitive actions to switch between camera and shooting modes, zoom in or out of a shot and execute a variety of other convenient functions – all with customizable gestures.

Using the very latest S Pen models, gesture control has only gotten easier with the introduction of five Anywhere actions. Users can now customize actions for the Back, Home, Recent App, Smart Select and Screen Write commands, making the S Pen easier to control.

Design: Write Intuitively, With Style

From a rounded form, a flat symmetrical design to a unibody type, Samsung has constantly been refining the design of the S Pen for more seamless pen handling and the most comfortable writing experiences possible. As a result, the S Pen has evolved to be an ergonomic pen that allows users a relaxed grip. Today’s S Pen boasts a sleek appearance thanks to its elegant, unibody design, and its very latest iteration, launched with the Galaxy Note20,  is the lightest and thinnest S Pen yet, coming in at just 3.04g and 5.8mm.

Galaxy Note9 packaging featuring S Pen imagery

An S Pen that comes in a range of colour options was developed to satisfy those users looking to showcase their personality through their devices. Each colour option even matches the corresponding device’s S Pen slot. One such change saw a clear ocean-blue device paired with a vivid yellow S Pen, with the corresponding packaging summarizing the evolution of the S Pen so far by featuring the stylus on the front of its box. This demonstrates that the S Pen truly became the key identifier of Samsung’s smartphone products.

Ecosystem: Diversifying the S Pen’s Canvas Options

The Galaxy Tab S7 series’ S Pen

These days, you can enjoy the versatility of the S Pen on larger screens like tablets and laptops such as the Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A and S series and the Galaxy Book, as well as on your smartphone. The S Pen models included with Samsung’s tablets and laptops have been developed differently than S Pen models developed for smartphones, featuring a rounded, unibody design and a glossy finish.

Users of Galaxy Tab S6 and S7 devices can easily store their S Pen on the side and back (respectively) of their tablets thanks to the magnetic storage feature, making it easier to keep track of your S Pen while also providing a simple way for you to charge your S Pen.

The expansion of the S Pen ecosystem also comes with more opportunities for pro-level S Pen usage. The Galaxy Tab S7 is the first to come pre-loaded with Clip Studio Paint, a professional drawing app for illustration, webtoon and animation production; Noteshelf, a dedicated note-taking app; and Canva, a graphic design app. Accordingly, the S Pen today is playing a key role in transforming the tablet into a device capable of servicing any user’s tastes and interests.

The S Pen has become the key identifying feature of the Galaxy Note series and Samsung’s latest tablet line-ups, but this has been taken a step further following its launch with the Galaxy S21 Ultra earlier this year. The very latest Galaxy S line device provides users with such S Pen benefits as drawing, notetaking and video editing; S21 Ultra users can take advantage of the delicate touch granted by the S Pen for precise and elaborate video editing capabilities unachievable by human fingers alone. The inclusion of the optional S Pen that is available for a S series device[3] is an innovation that improves both device portability and productivity and going forward, Samsung is determined to bring the outstanding performance of the S Pen into a wider range of categories for a more seamless mobile experience.

Since its inception, the S Pen has been a landmark innovation for Samsung. An elegant instrument that lets users create to their heart’s content on their digital screens, the evolution of this delicate stylus over the past decade has seen the S Pen grow into an independent, smart device on its own. Stay tuned to find out how the S Pen is set to develop further in the future and provide users with even better means of self-expression.
