Samsung Electronics Canada today announced the next generation of groundbreaking foldable smartphones: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. Both devices feature customizable form factors, tailored experiences, and upgraded performance. Now in its fourth generation, the Galaxy Z Series continues to break conventions to deliver new and immersive experiences that enhance everyday life.

“Samsung Galaxy foldables are built on the foundation of our openness philosophy, enabling new possibilities with complete customization both inside and out. Created in collaboration with our world-class partners, the next foldable devices offer mobile experiences that meet the needs of our most dynamic users,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through our unwavering focus and industry leadership, excitement for foldables continues to grow. We’ve successfully transformed this category from a radical project to a mainstream device lineup enjoyed by millions worldwide.”

A testament to Samsung’s dedication to superb craftsmanship, every component in the latest Galaxy Z Series has been designed to deliver optimized experiences that fit the needs of a user. The Galaxy Z Flip4 builds on the success of past Galaxy Z Flip devices with upgraded camera features, a larger battery^[1], and expanded customization opportunities, all while maintaining an ultra-compact design. Delivering Samsung’s most comprehensive smartphone experience to-date, the Galaxy Z Fold4 opens new possibilities by offering shape-shifting design, immersive^[2] displays and PC-like multitasking^[3] features supported by advanced camera technology and powerful mobile processors.

Galaxy Z Flip4, the Ultimate Self-expression Tool, Inside and Out

The Galaxy Z Flip4 is the ultimate tool for self-expression. Its compact clamshell design offers unique experiences to users. Shoot hands-free video or capture full group selfies at various angles by partially folding Galaxy Z Flip4 to activate FlexCam^[4]. Content can even be enjoyed on users’ favourite apps^[5] – thanks to the Samsung-Meta partnership, FlexCam^[6] is optimized for the most popular social platforms, including Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook. Do more with Galaxy Z Flip4 by taking high-quality selfies right from the Cover Screen^[7] by leveraging the main camera with the upgraded Quick Shot. Start high-quality video recording in Quick Shot mode and then seamlessly switch to Flex^[8] mode to continue recording hands-free without stopping the video – ideal for content creators and vloggers. Users are now able to take selfies in Portrait Mode and see a preview in actual photo ratio when using Quick Shot. Plus, with an upgraded camera equipped with a 65 percent brighter sensor^[9] powered by the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, photos and videos are crisp and stable – day or night. The Galaxy Z Flip4 can also capture, watch, and connect longer thanks to an expanded 3,700mAh battery (typical)^[10] that, when paired with Super-Fast charging, can boost battery up to 50 percent in around 30 minutes^[11].

With a slimmer hinge, straightened edges, contrasting hazed back glass and glossy metal frame, the 2022 Galaxy Z Flip4 design is our most refined smartphone yet. Crafted to go truly hands-free, users can do more without ever opening their phone. Make calls, reply to texts, all from the Cover Screen^[12]. The Galaxy Z Flip4 can also be customized inside and out with Galaxy Themes on both the Cover and Main Screen to complement each users unique style. Users can create their own Cover Screen^[13] with new clock designs and backgrounds in various formats such as images, GIFs and even video^[14].

Galaxy Z Fold4, a Multi-tasking Powerhouse

The Galaxy Z Fold4 reflects the latest in Samsung Galaxy innovation delivering our most powerful smartphone yet. Galaxy Z Fold4 combines Samsung’s collective mobile technology expertise to create a device with increased functionality whether opened, closed, or in Flex mode^[15]. Furthermore, it is the first Samsung device to ship with Android 12L, a special version of Android created by Google for large-screen experiences, including foldables.

Multitasking^[16] on Galaxy Z Fold4 is now super easy so users can get more done on the go. The new Taskbar^[17] provides a layout similar to your PC, offering access to your favourite and recent apps. Multitasking^[18] is also more intuitive thanks to new swipe gestures^[19]. Instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split your screen in half for more ways to multitask^[20].

Partnerships with Google and Microsoft further elevate multitasking experiences on Galaxy Z Fold4. Google apps, including Chrome and Gmail, now support drag-and-drop, allowing users to quickly copy and paste links, photos and more from one app to another. With Google Meet, users can now connect with more people while enjoying virtual co-activities, including co-watching videos on YouTube. Microsoft’s full Office suite and Outlook take advantage of the foldable display, providing more information on the screen and faster ways to interact with the content. The multitasking experience is complete with S Pen functionality^[21], enabling on-the-go drawing and notetaking with streamlined storage inside the Standing Cover with Pen case^[22].

Galaxy Z Fold4 takes stunning photos and videos with an upgraded 50MP wide lens and 30x Space Zoom^[23] lens. A variety of camera modes, including the larger zoom activated on Capture View Mode, Dual Preview, and Rear Cam Selfie are custom-built to take advantage of the unique form factor for increased capturing flexibility. And with the larger pixel size, a 23 percent brighter sensor^[24], and enhanced processing power, users can capture clear images even at night.

Content is even more immersive and distinctive on the 7.6-inch Main Screen^[25] with a brighter display, a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate^[26], and a less visible Under Display Camera (UDC) thanks to a new scatter-type sub-pixel arrangement. Popular social media apps, such as Netflix and Facebook, are optimized for the large-screen experience to make content more enjoyable, and users can even watch streaming entertainment service apps hands-free with Flex mode^[27]. For non-optimized apps, users can control the device without disrupting content with the new Flex Mode Touchpad^[28], offering accuracy while pausing, rewinding, and playing videos, or zooming in and out of content while the device is in Flex mode^[29].

Games are snappier too thanks to the powerful Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform and hyper-fast 5G^[30]. With a slimmer hinge, lighter weight, and even narrower bezels, the wider screen enables easier one-handed interactions while using the Cover Screen^[31].

Folding Screen Technology That Stands the Test of Time

Samsung continues its barrier-defying innovation journey to deliver the level of durability^[32] consumers expect, both in and out. With our Armor Aluminum frames and hinge cover along with exclusive Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ on the Cover Screen and rear glass, Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are our toughest foldables yet. Durability of the Main Screen panel is also enhanced, thanks to the optimized layer structure. In addition, both the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are equipped with IPX8^[33] water resistance, so users can worry less if they get caught in the rain.

Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Premium Design with the Ultimate Listening Experience

Joining the Galaxy Z Series are Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro – Samsung’s new top-of-the-line earbuds that provide immersive wireless audio experiences. With a new, compact design and seamless connectivity, Galaxy Buds2 Pro are designed to elevate everyday life. Appreciate every musical interlude with superb Hi-Fi 24bit Audio^[34], high-dynamic range and crystal-clear resolution that helps you feel connected to what you’re listening to. Users can also take calls or listen to their favourite content on-the-go with powerful ANC^[35] that eliminates outside noise and distractions. The new compact, ergonomic design is also 15 percent smaller^[36] and designed with a secure fit engineered to prevent rotation which makes it ideal for fitness activities.

The new Galaxy Buds2 Pro allow users to escape into their own world and simultaneously stay connected to their life. Whether quickly transitioning from a lunchtime walk outside to join a meeting on your PC or gaming on your tablet and need to answer a phone call, Galaxy Buds2 Pro features Auto Switch^[37] to seamlessly connect to your Galaxy device with a touch of a finger. Samsung seamless codec enables quality music transfer without a pause and the new coaxial 2-way speaker makes those sounds richer.

Galaxy for the Planet

Since the launch of the Galaxy S22 Series, Samsung has incorporated recycled materials not just in our packaging, but also in the hardware of our new products. These are the first steps in our Galaxy for the Planet initiative, which includes our continued incorporation of recycled plastics and the creation of new materials in partnership with leading sustainability partners. As we continue to pursue innovations in sustainable manufacturing, we are proud to announce that more than 90% of the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro is made with recycled materials^[38]. The new Galaxy Z Series also incorporates ocean-bound plastics into key components and 100 percent recycled paper for its packaging. We also reduced volume of the packaging up to 58%^[39]  compared to the first-generation Galaxy foldables. This equates to a saving of approximately 10,000 tons of carbon emissions based on transportation from Korea to Europe this year^[40].

Samsung Electronics Canada today announced the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro, shaping fitness and wellness habits with intuitive insights, advanced features, and powerful capabilities. The newest addition to the Galaxy Watch lineup, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the most durable and feature-packed watch yet by Samsung, designed to meet the rigorous demands of the most active users and outdoor enthusiasts. The Galaxy Watch5 enhances features that consumers rely on every day with a customizable iconic design. This new series represents the culmination of Samsung’s wellness vision and leadership in advanced fitness capabilities, redefining digital health and wellness for users.

“We’re dedicated to giving our Galaxy Watch community the tools, data and resources needed to not only understand their overall health and wellness better, but to coach them on their journey,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.

Cutting-edge Sensor Technology to Better Understand You

With a growing desire to ensure people can act on individual wellness goals and access fitness and wellness features, Samsung has set out to provide in-depth tracking and practical data offering users deeper insights that help guide them towards their wellness goals. Galaxy Watch5 is equipped with a unique BioActive Sensor technology from Samsung that drives the next era of digital health. First introduced on the Galaxy Watch4 Series, the BioActive Sensor uses a single unique chip that combines three powerful health sensors – Optical Heart Rate (PPG)^[1], Electrical Heart Signal (ECG)^[2] and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) ^[3] – to deliver extensive readings that include heart rate, blood oxygen level, and even stress level^[4] driving the next era of digital health. In addition, users can get a deeper understanding of their heart by tracking blood pressure^[5] and ECG^[6] – right from their wrist^[7].

With an increased surface area and more direct contact with your wrist, the Galaxy Watch5 tracks fitness and wellness metrics now with greater accuracy than the Galaxy Watch4.

Developed in partnership with Google, Wear OS Powered by Samsung offers Galaxy Watch5 users a more connected and intuitive experience through seamlessly connected wearables designed to help achieve more for any lifestyle.

Holistic Insights to Enhance Everyone’s Wellness Journey

Designed for everyday wins, the Galaxy Watch5 offers a comprehensive end-to-end experience that goes beyond fitness activities and into the post-workout, rest, and recovery process. The Body Composition measurement tool^[8] provides a complete snapshot of the user’s overall wellness, providing them with a tailored approach to set goals, guide them through personalized workouts and track progress. And when it’s time to rest, the Galaxy Watch5 Series empowers users with recovery data, including post-cardio heart rate after an intense workout^[9], and customized recommendations on water consumption based on sweat loss^[10].

A good night’s rest is important in wellness, and that’s why Samsung is helping users have a better night’s sleep^[11]. Understand sleep patterns through Sleep Scores that monitor the different stages of sleep, together with snore detection^[12] and blood oxygen levels. Achieve improved sleep habits with advanced Sleep Coaching^[13] that gives a tailored month-long guided program. Users can sleep soundly, knowing that the enhanced fall detection feature is designed to notify an emergency contact if you or your loved one stumbles at home or falls out of bed^[14].

No need to worry that your watch may run out of power or get damaged in rough terrain; the Galaxy Watch5 comes with a 13% larger battery than its predecessor^[15] and provides eight hours of sleep tracking with just eight minutes of charging, which is 30% faster than the Galaxy Watch4. An extra layer of durability protects the Galaxy Watch5, and includes the first smartwatch display from Samsung featuring a Sapphire Crystal, which offers a harder outer layer^[16], so your watch is fit for day-to-day use. Cue up your favourite song on Spotify with just your voice using Google Assistant. Coming soon, find your way using Google Maps from your wrist^[17] without a smartphone connection^[18]. Music and audio lovers will appreciate updates that include new apps like SoundCloud and Deezer^[19]. Additionally, One UI Watch 4.5 offers a better typing experience, an easier way to make calls, and a host of new accessibility features to make the Galaxy Watch more intuitive.

Galaxy Watch5 Pro, More Features and Greater Durability for the Outdoor Enthusiast 

Created for those that love the great outdoors, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the newest addition to the Galaxy Watch portfolio. From hiking to cycling and beyond, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro is ready for the challenge thanks to the premium materials used. The enhanced Sapphire Crystal better resists any wear and tear^[20] and a durable titanium casing protects the display with a protruded bezel design. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro also comes with an all-new D-Buckle Sport Band^[21] that offers rugged durability with a sleek and clean fit.

Built strong, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro has the largest battery in a Galaxy Watch yet. It’s 60% larger than the Galaxy Watch4, which is key to keeping up with you while you conquer a new route. Take advantage of GPX, that’s available for the first time on a Galaxy Watch. Head out on a hike and record and share it with fellow trail-lovers on the Samsung Health app^[22] with Route Workout. You can also download hiking and cycling routes as you practice for your next race or look to mix up your routine. As you hike or cycle, keep your eyes on the path and away from the map with intuitive Turn-by-Turn directions^[23]. When you’re ready to head home, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro will get you there easily with the Track back feature that takes you back the way you came^[24].

For over a decade, Samsung Galaxy Unpacked events have been the culmination of innovation, engineering and celebration — bringing together Galaxy community from all over the world to unveil the latest Samsung Galaxy innovations.

Since its inception in 2009, Unpacked has been more than just a new product launch. It’s an event that unites Samsung fans and recognizes the hard work from thousands of employees that goes into each new product. Samsung fans have tuned into Unpacked events to experience the next generation of Galaxy innovations that make up the true spirit of Samsung and push the mobile industry forward.

As the world opens up to new experiences, we are reimagining Unpacked through the lens of our Galaxy openness philosophy to match the creativity of our unparalleled new foldables. Our ambition is not just to innovate the new technologies but also to innovate our marketing approach. To accomplish this, we will ensure that the Galaxy experience is open to everyone.

I can’t wait to see how Galaxy community responds to new foldable launches. We will see you on August 10, 2022!

[SUMMARY OF TEASER CAMPAIGNS]

A Greater Galaxy Experience

Leading up to the next Unpacked experience, we’re launching the greater than campaign today that teases a world made greater than before with the imminent launch of the new foldable devices. The universal greater than symbol (>) represents how our foldables’ unique form factor doesn’t just change shape, they change how we interact with our devices.

Defying expectations of what smartphones are capable of yet again, Samsung is bringing new ways to work, play and capture life through this new series.

Bringing the Best of Hybrid

This year’s strategy embraces a new age of Unpacked. It takes the best of online and offline events and makes them even better.

Introducing new immersive and experiential event spaces that will allow consumers around the world to get hands-on and explore our products in a fun, creative, engaging and immersive setting.

The experience will take over spaces in the hearts of London’s Piccadilly Circus and New York’s Meatpacking District — two neighbourhoods that match the energy and excitement of the  upcoming announcements from Samsung. These events will unite Galaxy fans, journalists, partners, and Samsung employees from all over the world and allow them to explore the latest Samsung products and innovations like never before.

The best is “Yet To Come”

In a nod to our iconic product colourway Bora Purple, embracing diversity and optimism, we’re painting the town purple. Samsung and BTS will partner for an unmissable trans-Atlantic premier of ‘Yet to Come’ foldable video on August 10, 2022.

The full version of the video will premiere at 4 p.m. EDT in several popular districts, including in Times Square in New York, taking over these iconic destinations to show the new video on some of the biggest and most recognizable screens worldwide.

But that’s not all. We have so much in store for you, not to mention some amazing new products to show you — so stay tuned, it’s going to be one to remember.

Watch Unpacked on Samsung Newsroom, Samsung.com/ca and on the Samsung YouTube channel on August 10, 2022, at 9 a.m. EDT.

I have worked my entire career as an engineer, and I have seen many innovations at Samsung that have pushed the limits of what’s possible with smartphones. Our mission is, and always has been, to create technology that makes people’s lives better. Ten years ago, we set out to create a transformative technology by looking at the one thing all smartphones were synonymous with — a flat rectangular display. We asked ourselves a simple question: How can we have it all – a bigger screen and better portability?

We saw an opportunity not only to design a new shape but also to create new experiences that had never been possible with a smartphone before. Overcoming many technological hurdles, we successfully introduced the first-ever Galaxy foldable smartphone in 2019 and have changed the future of our industry ever since.

Last year, we saw almost 10 million foldable smartphones shipped worldwide. That’s an industry increase of more than 300% from 2020, and I predict this fast-paced growth will continue.^[1] We are reaching the moment where these foldable devices are becoming widespread and staking a bigger claim in the overall smartphone market.

More importantly, Samsung Galaxy foldables have changed the way we use mobile devices and helped enable better lifestyles for users worldwide.

As Lifestyles Evolve, a New Legacy Unfolds

The world is more connected than ever and is moving at a much faster pace. Work and play intermix, and the lines between the physical and digital world have blurred. Where we turn for work, entertainment, wellness and more has become a single place — our phone. As such, our users need a flexible device to keep up with their daily demands.

The Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip deliver on that mandate. Last year, 70% of Galaxy foldable users^[2] turned to the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G to help them see the world from a different point of view. Z Flip3 users love owning a device built for self-expression, whether choosing bold color options for their device or taking pictures in a new way with Flex mode^[3].

It’s a different experience with the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G. Nearly one out of three Galaxy foldable users last year opted for this ultimate productivity device^[4], which has empowered them to do more through hyper-connected, individual computing. Fold users love the multitasking capability of a screen that doubles in size, so they can be more efficient and get things done faster.

Both foldable users have enthusiastically embraced what we have created. Their response is our biggest motivation to push forward, and that’s why we are committed to this journey of seeking new possibilities for mobile innovation.

This year, we’ve made advancements in every detail and opened the new experiences enabled by these behavior-shifting devices. I am excited to see people discover new ways to do more of the things they love with the new foldable.

Of course, this wouldn’t have been possible without the open collaboration and a shared desire with our partners to continuously bring new innovations to the mobile category. We are working with industry leaders including Google, Microsoft and other carrier partners to expand the experiences that are possible throughout the foldable ecosystem.

Redefining What’s Possible for People Everywhere

Three years ago, Galaxy foldables could be summed up in a single word: radical. Very quickly, however, it became clear that this groundbreaking, flexible design fit perfectly into modern lifestyles. As a result, what was once a novelty three years ago, is now the preferred choice for millions.

At our upcoming Unpacked on August 10th, you’ll see that the impact of our innovation is not only about what technology can do. It’s about what you can do. We’ve once again taken our inspiration from the most important source — Galaxy users — to push the limits of what’s possible.

I can’t wait to show you the potential of our new Samsung Galaxy foldables as the ultimate tool for both productivity and self-expression. Now, you can do more than you ever thought possible, all at once, on one device.

Get ready to unfold your world.
