Equipping US Police With the Technology To Help Protect the Public

Police officers and law enforcement workers deal with turbulent, fast-paced and often dangerous situations on a daily basis. Today, new technologies can support such jobs by significantly streamlining activities, enable workers to carry out tasks more effectively and even improve safety and transparency. It’s a time when the right tools can truly change the day-to-day experience of public service professionals, consumers and employees for the better.

Transforming operations in this way was the goal for the Kimberling City Police and the Indian Point Police in Missouri. These forces conducted a pilot program two years ago to test out new devices to help improve daily operations. Officers were equipped with Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series smartphones¹ to help them find efficiencies in their work through several methods.

Why Samsung’s Foldables Are the Right Devices for the Job

The Galaxy Z Flip devices were chosen in part due to their unique form factor, which provides a lightweight, compact design. To ensure the devices were made with the best quality and as fit-for-purpose as possible, Samsung collaborated with Visual Labs, a leading body camera solution provider.

They worked together to customize the device, including remapping the external volume button to start the body camera recordings in urgent situations without the need to turn on the display or open the smartphone. The body camera function can also be activated by detecting high speed while pursuing a suspect or when connected to the dash-cam solution, through the activation of emergency lights. These features provide police officers with additional methods to promptly begin recording their surroundings, enhancing their ability to capture critical events.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series’ works well as a body camera due to its compact and foldable form factor, allowing for easy attachment to police uniforms and outer carriers. Its high-quality camera ensures a clear and detailed video recording, while its durable construction makes it suitable for demanding environments. Additionally, the long battery life and advanced features like stabilization and quick access to recordings make it an optimal choice for body camera use.

The result is a unique, all-in-one solution that provides efficiencies no other smartphone can offer. The Galaxy Z Flip’s inherent versatility makes it extremely adaptable and appealing across numerous industries – for the police, it brings expanded on-the-job abilities, improved situational awareness and enhanced communication and engagement across teams.

Streamlining Operations for Increased Efficiency and Safety

In their use as body-worn cameras, Galaxy Z Flip devices can help improve evidence gathering and transparency by clearly documenting details of arrests and other interactions. With the support of Visual Labs technology, video data can also be stored in the cloud instantaneously, allowing footage to be livestreamed to the police force’s command center and viewed in real time. This plays a key role in keeping colleagues unified and informed regarding team operations.

In one easy-to-use device that combines several technologies, the Galaxy Z Flip additionally functions as a digital camera needed for taking pictures of crime scene evidence; an audio recorder for witness interviews; and a personnel locator for tracking an officer’s location through GPS. The device also allows phone calls, emails and text messaging. It can support other agency-specific applications such as computer-aided dispatch, criminal justice database queries and even push-to-talk, helping law enforcement log crimes and activity in real time and while on the move.

All this adds up to a level of utility that surpasses single-purpose devices, helping to keep officers safe and improving their productivity. Enveloping the device features is the sleek design of the Galaxy Z Flip series, ideal for busy police officers because it allows them to quickly and easily mount the device on their uniform. This makes it much easier to use than traditional bar-shaped devices and minimizes the amount of equipment they need to carry, all without compromising on performance. The device also boasts advantages in maintenance costs compared to other body-worn cameras, which is a crucial consideration and benefit in distributing devices to numerous officers.

Kimberling City Police Department Chief of Police, Todd Lemoine said, “We chose the Galaxy Z Flip due to the wide array of benefits it brings to our team, and we’re delighted to say that we’ve had incredible results. We’ve seen response and investigation efforts be significantly improved by its overall ease of use and ability to enhance communications across teams. These devices put powerful resources right at the fingertips of our force.”

A Future Supported by Innovations Built To Enhance Workforce Operations

The benefits of versatile technologies like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series are significant, and they don’t stop there. Samsung is dedicated to continually developing its product offerings to support consumers, businesses and public services with cutting-edge innovations that precisely meet customer needs.

Through bespoke and optimized devices, the possibilities of what can be achieved are endless. The successful implementation of Samsung’s solutions in the Kimberling City Police and the Indian Point Police have been so positive that the solutions are now being extended to 25 metro police departments across five states, furthering Samsung’s commitment to bringing tools that can boost success for even more police authorities in the US.

In the second part of this two-part series, Samsung Newsroom will dive into the remarkable technologies crafted by Galaxy developers and explain related terminology for everyone to understand.

Dynamic AMOLED 2X

Dynamic AMOLED 2X is Samsung’s latest and most advanced mobile display, building upon the original Dynamic AMOLED introduced in 2019. This enhanced version is tailored for high-speed gaming and multitasking, boasting a 100% accurate DCI-P3 color gamut for optimized colors and contrast. The display delivers a seamless user experience with smoother scrolling, excellent response times and HDR10+ certification. Notably, the adaptive refresh rate has been upgraded from 60Hz to 120Hz, further enhancing display performance.

Adaptive Refresh Rate

This technology is designed to offer a smooth and seamless scrolling and viewing experience by automatically adjusting the screen’s refresh rate based on the content being displayed. This feature not only ensures a smoother user experience but also optimizes battery life.

Auto Framing

Auto Framing is a feature that automatically adjusts the Galaxy device’s camera angle based on the number of people in the picture. The view narrows when there is one person and widens when the camera detects at least two people in the frame. Moreover, the screen follows the movement of the detected photographer, allowing for a trackable distance of approximately two-and-a-half to three meters and a trackable speed matching a normal walking pace. With this feature, capturing dynamic scenes like people dancing or children playing is a breeze. Users can ensure everyone in a large group fits within the frame using the Auto Framing feature and Flex Mode.

Nightography

Nightography is a powerful camera capability introduced for the first time with the Galaxy S22 that enhances color vibrancy and picture quality even in low-light environments. This feature captures a series of images and employs multi-frame processing (MFP) technology to analyze and eliminate noise and blurry shots. Nightography applies an HDR effect to the refined images, combining them into a single clear photo. Colors and details are enhanced using an AI image signal processing (ISP) algorithm. Using the Super Night Solution, users can take bright and crips videos without any visual noise.

Nit

Derived from the Greek word “nitere” meaning “to shine,” nit is a unit of luminance used to measure the light emitted from a smartphone or computer display. More specifically, one nit is the brightness of one candle in an area of one square meter, while 1,000 nits equals the brightness of light emitted by 1,000 candles in an area of one square meter. Since smartphones are often used outdoors, luminance is important to ensure the displays remain clearly visible in varying lighting conditions.

Fast Wireless Charging 2.0

Fast Wireless Charging 2.0 is Samsung’s wireless charging technology standard that operates on a magnetic field-induced fast-charging mechanism.

Initially showcased at Galaxy Unpacked 2015 when the Galaxy Note5 was introduced, the earlier Fast Wireless Charging could support wireless charging of up to 9W. Now, Fast Wireless Charging 2.0 enables faster wireless charging options of 10W, 12W and 15W.

In this two-part series, Samsung Newsroom will dive into the remarkable technologies crafted by Galaxy developers and explain related terminology for everyone to understand.

IP Rating

IP, or ingress protection, is a standard that measures a device’s ability to resist the elements. The first digit in an IP rating denotes the level of defense against dust and foreign particles, while the second digit represents the level of safeguard against liquids — the higher the digit, the better the protection. The Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 were the first foldable products to achieve the IPX8 rating, followed by Z Fold4, Z Flip4, Z Fold5 and Z Flip5.

Flex Hinge

The Flex Hinge is the component that allows a Galaxy foldable to be folded and unfolded, enhancing the phone’s durability and enabling the functionality of Flex Mode.

Flex Mode¹

When partially folded, the Galaxy device will go into Flex Mode. Users can set their foldables on a flat surface without needing a separate phone stand to conveniently watch a movie, write an email or video call a friend.

Flex Mode Panel

Flex Mode Panel allows for seamless use of the control panel while enjoying videos, music or other content when the Galaxy foldable is set in Flex Mode. This feature can be activated in Labs.

Taskbar

The Taskbar conveniently presents Favorites and shortcuts to recently used apps at the bottom of an unfolded Galaxy display — allowing users to easily switch between apps and enjoy a seamless multitasking experience, much like they would on a PC.

The drones decorated the night sky and touched the hearts of those at the event.

Samsung Newsroom has put together this guide for users to take advantage of the features of Galaxy Z Fold4, which delivers a lighter, more convenient and more efficient workplace on-the-go.

Do More With Your Smartphone’s Lighter Weight and Wider Display

It’s gotten smaller but wider — Galaxy Z Fold4 is still as compact as ever, with its even lighter weight and thinner hinge and bezels. When you unfold your phone, the device’s even wider display delivers an immersive experience that can transform your current surroundings into a workspace anytime, anywhere. The UDC (Under Display Camera), located under the screen, helps you focus on your work by minimizing factors distracting your field of vision.

Thanks to the device’s 7.6-inch wide screen, you can even conveniently edit documents full of text. Just like using a small tablet PC, you can handle a variety of tasks that are more complex than simply reading or sending e-mails with your smartphone.

Galaxy Z Fold4’s Cover Screen has also gotten wider, making it even more convenient to use. The width of the Cover Screen has increased while the length has decreased, making the aspect ratio similar to that of other conventional smartphones. In addition, the phone has become thinner when folded, providing enhanced grip experience. Thanks to the wider width, you can comfortably enjoy most features, such as typing letters or watching videos, without ever needing to unfold your phone.

Work Efficiently From Anywhere With Enhanced Multitasking Features

The most striking characteristics of Galaxy Z Fold4 are its enhanced multitasking features. Along with the wider screen, the new Taskbar¹ feature and Multi-window help you get your remote work done fast and efficiently — as if you are using a laptop.

The Taskbar is a newly added feature, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t familiar. The Taskbar looks and functions just like the layout you are used to seeing on a PC. You can even add frequently used apps to personalize your Taskbar: All the apps saved as favorites on your home screen will also appear on the Taskbar.

You can fully take advantage of the wider display by utilizing Multi-window, which lets you simultaneously view up to three windows on the screen. If you’d like to open another app while using a different application, simply drag and drop the app from the Taskbar to somewhere on the side, top or bottom of the screen. You can also easily switch screens between apps or change the layout with its intuitive UI.

If you have a combination of apps that you frequently use together, then the App Pair feature will help you save time. With the App Pair feature, you can save up to three apps as a single group on the Taskbar. Using this feature will get rid of the hassle of having to launch each app and display each one of them on a split screen.

Use the S Pen to Work With Precision and Speed

With the S Pen for Galaxy Z Fold4, you can precisely control your mobile device as if working with a mouse on a PC. You can conveniently take notes on a large screen just as you would on a tablet, and you can also select only the necessary parts, such as text, links or photos to quickly copy and paste.

Make the Most of Work and Play at Every Angle

With Flex mode, you can make the most of your foldable phone by freely changing the angle according to your needs. For instance, by taking advantage of Galaxy Z Fold4’s multitasking features, you can launch multiple apps at the same time. You can use one window of the screen for a video call and another window to take notes on important information, all while also looking at a meeting material on the screen.

Taking a break is just as important as working efficiently. When it’s time to step away, try turning over your screen filled with work-related apps and instead watching a video on the Cover Screen to lighten your mood. Thanks to the thin bezels and the aspect ratio optimized for the Cover Screen, you can have an immersive experience while watching a video. With Flex mode, you can adjust your Galaxy Z Fold4 to best fit any situation.

Capture Work, Play and Everything in Between

Galaxy Z Fold4’s various features stand out whether you’re on or off the clock. For instance, during break time, you can enjoy watching videos or playing games on a large, immersive screen that brings your content to life. Small but important details such as the UDC (Under Display Camera), where the camera is placed under the screen, help minimize on-screen distractions and allow you to fully dive into the game.

In addition, Galaxy Z Fold4 users can also take advantage of the device’s large screen while snapping pictures. The larger image sensor and upgraded resolution enable high-quality shooting day or night. By enabling “Cover Screen preview,” the portrait can simultaneously check the preview on the Cover Screen while “Capture View” allows you to check the photos taken while using the camera.

Another notable feature that takes advantage of Capture View is the Zoom Map. With larger Zoom Map activated automatically on the Capture View area when the rear camera is magnified by 20 times or more, it allows you to compare the magnified image and the original image ratio side by side at a glance. Typically, locating a subject while zoomed in is difficult, as the quality lowers and small movements come across as very shaky on camera. However, larger Zoom Map makes it possible to locate a subject quickly and easily to capture that perfect shot.

Galaxy Z Fold4 pushes the limits of mobile devices with its wide screen and various multitasking functions. If you’re a mobile worker who values the convenience and flexibility of working from anywhere, then we recommend Galaxy Z Fold 4 for your ultimate experience in on-the-go workplace productivity. However, whether you’re on or off the clock, you can still take advantage of Galaxy Z Fold4 features to make the most of your daily routine.

With its fourth generation, the Z Flip series has taken its Flex mode to the next level with further enhanced features. Z Flip4 adds a touchpad within Flex mode that lets you control the mouse cursor for pausing, rewinding or playing videos without picking up the device.

Multitasking is also more intuitive and easier to activate, thanks to new swipe gestures. Simply swipe up on the screen with two fingers to split your screen in half or swipe to the middle from top two corners to instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows. With multi-window, you can watch a film on the top screen while taking notes on the bottom screen, all while chatting with friends on a message thread and planning your route to meet them simultaneously.

∠ 180 degrees: The Ultimate Self-Expression Tool With an Array of Colors and Combinations

Our smartphones can play a big role in expressing our individuality, and Galaxy Z Flip4 is no exception — you can complement your style with premium design in legacy colors, including Bora Purple, Graphite, Pink Gold and Blue. With the slimmer hinge, refined edges, contrasting haze back glass and glossy metal frames, the new design is our most refined yet.

What’s more, with just one touch to the All Apps button on the far left of the Taskbar, users can enjoy instant access to all of their apps.

Galaxy Z Fold4 has also been designed to leverage every inch of its wide screen to provide truly efficient multi-tasking experiences. Users can quickly activate Multi-window using the drag-and-drop method, or save a favorite App Pair right on the Taskbar. Users can also create split screens using window handles or simple gestures,² or use Multi-window in a pop-up style for multifaceted multitasking that suits every user’s needs.

For more precise photo-taking experiences, zooming in 20x in Capture View mode with the Main Camera activates a larger zoom map on the left hand of the screen that shows a panoramic view of the image preview. Furthermore, when a user is activating the Cover Screen preview feature, they need simply press the selfie button on the upper left corner to enjoy full control of Galaxy Z Fold4’s camera right from the Cover Screen for even better selfie experiences.

Captivating Users Through Color With Bespoke

With Galaxy Z Flip4, users have more freedom than ever when customizing the design of their device. The expanded Galaxy Z Flip4 Bespoke Edition program includes five glossy glass shade options — Yellow, White, Navy, Khaki and Red — and three frame colors — Silver, Gold and Black — that users can mix and match to create their very own device design.

Covers to Carry You Through the Day

Inspired by the comfort and feel of carrying a premium leather wallet, Galaxy Z Flip4’s Leather Cover has undergone a complete makeover with stylish results. Furthermore, the Silicon Cover with Strap and Silicon Cover with Ring continue to pair handy usability with trendy designs.

In order to match the upgraded design of Galaxy Z Fold4, both the Standing Cover with Pen case, known for enhancing the user’s S Pen³ experience, and the Silicon Cover with Strap, originally made popular with Galaxy Z Flip, have also been redesigned. For those looking for comfort as well as style with their case choice, the sleek Standing Cover, which complements the device’s large screen perfectly, and the Leather Cover, for a high-end feel, are also part of the Galaxy Z Fold4’s case lineup.

Stand Out From the Crowd

Galaxy Z Flip4’s Cover Screen clock options now come in a variety of styles that the user can harness to express their everyday feelings and sentiments, just as one might match their clothes to their mood. From the simplest of designs to all kinds of graphical designs, the selections available for the device’s clock face are more diverse than ever before, a design choice based on the multitudinous nature of today’s differing lifestyles.

Users can also choose from images, GIFs and videos for their Cover Screen background, and can even match their Cover Screen to their Galaxy theme for more harmonious and cohesive device experiences.

The design process behind Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 went beyond simply the pursuit of ‘newness’ and instead harnessed relentless innovation to allow users to reach the full potential of their lifestyles, as well as to allow for the genuine expression of who the user is at any given moment.

Galaxy for the Planet
