Enhanced Case Lineup Adds Functionality and Personalization

Samsung’s diverse case and cover offerings merge protection and style, adding greater personalization through refined new materials.

The all-new Alcantara Covers are fashioned from genuine Alcantara – a material oft used in the automotive, fashion and design industries for its elegance, comfort and practicality. Alcantara cases offer durable, suede-like looks with a texture that’s soft to the touch. Also new for 2017 are the silky matte Silicone Covers that offer sleek, lightweight protection in several vivid colors that cater to modern millennials’ style preferences.

The Clear View Standing Cover and LED View Cover for the Galaxy S8 are both covers that allow users to swipe to control calls, music and more, without having to open it up. The dedicated set of theme curations and designs, including exclusive backgrounds and apps that come along with the cases, offer further opportunities for users to personalize their phones.

The translucent matte Clear View Standing Cover also doubles as a kickstand that props the device up into a widescreen position, providing optimized content viewing on the go. LED View Cover displays pertinent information through 54, customizable LED notifications, allowing users to get the information they need with just a glance.

Other new covers include the 2Piece Cover and the re-designed Keyboard Cover for the Galaxy S8. The 2Piece Cover accentuates the aesthetic exterior of the Galaxy S8 with its unique, two-piece nature, and also offers better grip and protection. The color options range from bold, dual-color combinations to more minimalistic, single-tone designs. The Keyboard Cover requires no charging and features a detachable QWERTY keyboard that automatically optimizes the screen ratio when snapped on. Powered by Galaxy S8’s extended Infinity display, the Keyboard Cover offers a convenient mobile typing experience.

Design Through Collaboration

Samsung also teamed up with several prominent brands and designers to bring users evermore ways to express their personal style with their phones. A sampling of these collaborations include the Kate Spade NY Liquid Glitter Case, Adidas Performance Arm Band and the TUMI Leather CoMold Case.

The Kate Spade NY Liquid Glitter Case combines unique personal style with a playful sophistication, thanks to the glitter that floats around inside the case, resembling a snow globe. The Adidas Performance Arm Band, with its unique lightweight design, provides adjustable protection for the Galaxy S8 so users can stay focused on their run. The TUMI Leather CoMold Case, available in black and red, features a slim, premium quality coated canvas with raised edges to provide additional drop protection for your S8 or S8+.

Faster Charging on the Move

Crafted from soft, premium materials coupled with a minimalist touch that’s designed to complement its surroundings, Samsung’s Wireless Charger Convertible can do more than simply charge a Qi wireless charging enabled device* on its pad – it also doubles as a convenient stand for the phone so users can comfortably view content on their device while it charges in the background.

Samsung’s new 5100mAh Battery Packs sport a soft exterior texture with round curves, and now feature a convenient finger strap for increased portability. With fast-charge capabilities, a handy indicator light and refined styling, Samsung battery packs are the perfect companion to any smartphone. The packs are compatible with both USB Type-C and micro USB, thanks to its combo-cable companion that comes included.

Some of Samsung Electronics’ latest mobile and entertainment accessories, available exclusively online, will be rolled out in markets worldwide beginning in November.

The six accessories – currently available in Korea – range from wireless speakers and earphones to charging accessories. Designed with style, comfort and performance in mind, the exclusive items were created to both enhance users’ mobile experience and help them get more out of their devices.

Among the headliners of the online collection is the Wireless Speaker Bottle design, which cuts a pleasing figure and comes outfitted with features to add more joy to the listening experience.

The speaker’s 360-degree surround sound immerses listeners in rich audio, while wireless charging and a motion-sensitive UX make controlling and powering it a breeze.

When holding the speaker, for example, a water-pouring motion will adjust the built-in 16M-color LED lighting unit’s brightness, while a simple shake will change its color. The unit is completely customizable via the accompanying Lux Manager App*, which allows users to find the perfect hue to accentuate both the moment and their mood.

Samsung has also introduced a number of accessories to help users power their devices more effectively.

The Wireless Charger Tray design allows users to top-up two devices at once (three if the cable charging port is used), and at just 17.8mm thick, is a subtle way to turn a desk, table or nightstand into a convenient power hub. Charging begins as soon as a wireless-enabled device, such as a smartphone or the aforementioned Wireless Speaker Bottle design, is placed on top.

The Battery Pack Kettle design introduces a considered and colorful take on mobile charging. Available in 5,100mAh and 10,200mAh variations, and a choice of coral pink or mint blue, the kettle-shaped battery features a convenient LED status indication to keep tabs on remaining power, a wrist strap to add to comfort and portability, and kickstand cables that allow users to prop up their phones and enjoy media while they charge.

Users of the Battery Pack Kettle design will find that their batteries achieve further functionality when paired with the USB LED Light. Plug it in to the Kettle to transform it into a handy and stylish lantern, or connect the light to other devices with USB ports for a convenient and portable lighting solution.

In addition to the Wireless Speaker Bottle design, Samsung has introduced the Wireless Speaker Scoop design: a compact and stylish speaker built for enjoying powerful audio on the go.

Easy to carry and equipped with a practical strap, the Scoop’s splash resistance and sleek, understated design make it more than suitable for streaming both in and outdoors. Intuitive controls allow you to effortlessly find your favorite tunes, while the built-in microphone and noise-reduction and echo-cancellation technologies mean users can field calls without reaching for their phone.

Lastly, the In-ear Headphones Rectangle design pack likewise powerful sound into another sleek and portable package. With a sturdy, fabric-and-metal construction highlighted by a tangle-free flat fabric cable and DLM (double-layered motion) structured speakers for top-notch sound, the earphones demonstrate both refined design and balanced, high-quality audio.

Each of these accessories will be available for purchase at www.samsung.com or major regional shopping sites starting in early November depending on local availability.

*Samsung Lux Manager app (downloadable via the Google Play Store). The Samsung Lux Manager application is compatible with Samsung mobile devices running Android operating system 4.2.2 or later. Depending on your device’s specifications, a partial blank screen may appear or some functions may not work on your device.

Best Case Scenario

 
One of the most frustrating things about getting a brand new device is the disappointing selection of cases when it is released. Since the launch of the Galaxy S5, Samsung has offered fashion-forward cases through designer collaborations, as well as its own sleek cases. With the launch of the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note5, Samsung introduced seven stunning cases, offered in brilliant colors to protect your device and reflect your personal style. These cases include the S View Cover, Flip Wallet, Clear View Cover, Clear Cover, Glitter Cover, Glossy Cover and the Keyboard Cover.

With Samsung’s clever re-introduction of the smartphone keyboard, the Keyboard Cover both protects and offers a detachable QWERTY keyboard. When not needed, the keyboard can be removed and attached to the back cover, and your device will automatically detect and adjust the screen. The design is both practical and convenient.

Samsung’s Clear View Cover is slim and sleek, fingerprint and scratch resistant and offers quick access to all the essentials. The case is translucent and made to show off the brilliant colors of each device. Ten percent thinner than its predecessor, the Clear View Cover allows you to maintain the sleekness of the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note5. A lipophilic finish and PET film keeps your device looking fresh.

The clear front allows users to answer and reject incoming calls, see missed call alerts, check battery life and access audio functions – all without opening the cover.

Power Up

The newest Galaxy devices come with improved wireless charging that is more advanced and faster than ever. The Wireless Charger pad is the world’s fastest wireless charging device for the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note5. It’s easy to use with a convenient LED light that indicates charging status. The premium design, offered in white and navy blue, fits any home or office.

Along with Opening Ceremony’s Battery Pack, Samsung offers its own fast-charging portable Battery Pack. Exceptionally practical with a sophisticated design, Samsung’s Battery Pack is lightweight. It provides an extra 5200mAh boost in battery life. With four LED light indicators, the Battery Pack is easy to use. The Battery Pack is compatible with the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 edge, the Galaxy Note 4, the Galaxy Note edge, the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note5. Just ten minutes of super-fast charging power gives your device up to four hours of battery life, and 90 minutes will fully charge your device*.

Stylish and Functional

Samsung is committed to offering the latest in mobile device technology, and the best in accessories that both fit your personal style and help you use your device to its fullest capabilities. With stylish cases, powerful and fast charging and immersive audio, Samsung offers an abundance of options to reflect your personal style.

Galaxy S6

Smartphones, in all their advanced technological glory, have evolved to be able to possess the features of many gadgets on this list, and the S6 is currently reigning as the king of the market. In addition to being able to keep in touch, photograph favorite travel memories, and stay oriented with maps, there are a slew of bonus apps and built-in features you can utilize to enhance you travels.

For one, Galaxy Gifts gives users access to a number of travel guides; GeoNews, which sends out alerts regarding severe weather conditions; and Scrapbook, a fun tool to organize all your favorite travel memories. Additionally, the S Translator allows you to communicate in more than 11 languages via voice-to-text and text-to-text translation, along with a set of pre-translated phrases, so you can communicate no matter where you are in the world.

Galaxy Tab S 10.5

A long flight can feel like an eternity, but with the help of the Galaxy Tab S 10.5, you’ll never be bored. The Galaxy Tab S’ microSD card slot allows you to easily transfer files and expand the tablet’s memory, while the open Android platform lets you play all kinds of media. Its screen, however, is undoubtedly one of its greatest features; a glistening Super AMOLED panel makes your movies, TV shows and games pop like dynamite, which will undoubtedly turn you into the envy of the guy in 33B.

Samsung Level On Wireless Headphones and Level Link

Add a bit of background music to your summer vacation with the Level On Wireless Headphones. High-definition 40mm drivers combine with Active Noise Cancelation, a feature that accurately maps surrounding sounds, to produce a remarkably clear, uninterrupted audio experience so you can enjoy your favorite on-the-road soundtrack to the fullest. The headphones’ smart-touch button-free controls and wireless Bluetooth connection ensure that your hands are free to do more important things— like snack on exotic street food or snap photos of stunning scenery. And with a folding design, they can easily be packed away in a day bag or backpack.

With the Level Link, you can simply connect the in-flight entertainment screen and Bluetooth-enabled headphones and enjoy movies, games and TVs during the flight.

Samsung NX Mini Compact Digital Camera

Some travel moments are meant to be experienced with the eyes rather than through a lens. But for all the other times, the light-weight, user-friendly NX Mini Compact Digital Camera is the perfect device to capture memories that will last a lifetime.

The interchangeable lens captures both wide-angle and telephoto images with clarity and the Selfie Mode makes it easy for solo travelers to be perfectly framed in self-taken shots. The camera is easy to point and shoot, but also offers the option for users to take control of settings such as ISO, aperture and shutter speed to best capture the feel and atmosphere of their travel experiences. And no worries about being out and about all day; the camera battery allows for about 650 shots in a single charge.

Galaxy Tab A 8.0 with Pen

Taking your family on vacation? Then save yourself the headache and put the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 at the top of your packing list. Thanks to its Multi-User feature, families can create up to six profiles on one device so that everyone, from Grandpa Joe to Little Suzie, can enjoy the tablet with their own personalized experience. A 4:3 screen ratio makes the screen appear larger (which is great for movie-watching) while the Reading Mode adjusts color and brightness to prevent eye fatigue. And with Kids Mode allowing for safer access to kid-friendly content, the only thing Mom and Dad have to stress about is that age-old question: “Are we there yet?”

Samsung Gear S

Vacations are for overeating, so the Gear S’ calorie log, heart rate monitor and activity-tracker might not be of much use to you on your trip. The Gear S’s built-in GPS tracker, however, is a bit handier, as it provides step-by-step walking directions anywhere you want to go. Out at the beach all day? The UV sensor lets users know when it’s time to get out of the sun so you won’t have to suffer from any dreaded sunburns.

Animal Edition Battery Pack

With so many places to see and things to do, the last thing you want to think about during your vacation is keeping your travel gadgets charged up. The Animal Edition Battery Pack promises up to three to four times the capacity of the Galaxy S6, depending on the size, and can charge the Galaxy Note 4 more than twice. And if the super-charging features weren’t great enough, the designs are absolutely adorable; images of cuddly animals aim to raise awareness of endangered species and will certainly be a conversation piece during your travels.

Samsung SmartCam HD Pro

Speaking of safety, the SmartCam HD Pro makes it simpler than ever to keep an eye on your home while you’re away. See what your SmartCam sees via your phone, and set up motion and audio alerts to notify you when the camera’s advanced detection recognizes true motion.

Samsung announced the release of its Animal Edition Battery Packs, featuring illustrations of four species of endangered animals as part of the company’s ‘Charge the Life’ campaign, which aims to raise awareness about endangered animals.

“As consumers spend more time on their devices, they are demanding batteries with more capacity,” said Byeongju Kim, Vice President and Applicative Product Biz Group Leader, Samsung Electronics. “Our new battery packs will meet the needs of our customers and will simultaneously raise awareness about a critical issue.”

The Animal Edition Battery Packs will be available in two sizes.

The 8,400mAh battery pack is equivalent to more than three times the capacity of the new Samsung Galaxy S6 battery, while the 11,300mAh battery pack is equivalent to more than four times the capacity. It can also charge a flat Galaxy Note 4 battery more than twice, making it the perfect companion when you’re on the go.

The lesser panda and the fennec fox will appear on the 8,400mAh battery pack, and the giant panda and golden monkey will be featured on the 11,300mAh battery pack.

The Animal Edition Battery Packs will have a clear power level display and will be able to charge two devices at the same time. Additionally, the interactive ‘Charge the Life’ mobile application, which is available on Google Play and Samsung Galaxy Apps, will display the featured animal becoming more animated as charging levels increase.
