With medical technology continuing to evolve and offer the latest solutions and treatment to patients, Samsung Electronics Switzerland has been aiding the advancement by developing its products.

Samsung collaborated with Bottneuro AG, a Swiss MedTech startup dedicated to improving the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and to bring an innovative and enhanced diagnostic and treatment solution to patients. Bottneuro AG has chosen Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ 5G Enterprise Edition hardware to store and record therapy data in the Bottneuro Solution.

Powerful Therapy Through Innovative Technologies

Bottneuro AG’s technology identifies areas of the brain affected by the disease through 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging data. Once identified, these regions can be targeted and electronically stimulated with Miamind^® neurostimulator technology. The Galaxy Tab S8+ 5G Enterprise Edition simplify handling the Bottneuro solution via a graphical interface.

Patients who suffer from dementia often experience reduced cognitive function in the early stages of the disease, making the need for finding a device that is easy to operate and understand imperative for Bottneuro AG. With its intuitive interface and usability, the Galaxy Tab S8+ 5G Enterprise Edition provided the optimal hardware for the Bottneuro solution.

“We were looking for a simple and reliable solution for our application. We found it with the Galaxy Tab S8+ 5G Enterprise Edition and Samsung is giving us great support in the development,” said Julius Klaas, CTO of Bottneuro AG.

Seamless Solutions in a Single Galaxy Tablet

The Galaxy Tab S8+ 5G Enterprise Edition offers a plethora of features and capabilities. It comes with a high-resolution Super AMOLED display providing brilliant clarity for both patients and healthcare providers and offers reliable long-lasting battery life.

The Miamind^® neurostimulator is also directly powered by the Galaxy Tab S8+ 5G Enterprise Edition, and once treatment is complete, the Galaxy Tab S8+ automatically transmits diagnostic and treatment information contained within the Bottneuro solution to Bottneuro AG via 5G data connectivity, allowing patients to stay in the comfort of their home. Additionally, the Galaxy Tab S8+ 5G Enterprise Edition can be individually configured through Samsung Knox, keeping sensitive data and medical records private and protected.

Partnerships for the Future

Groundbreaking innovations such as these would not be possible without partnerships, and Samsung is proud to have been supporting and working with Bottneuro AG since its founding in 2021.

“We are pleased to offer Bottneuro AG a reliable, safe and simple solution with Samsung Knox and to support their novel therapy approach,” added Daniele Casella, Head of MX B2B Mobile at Samsung Switzerland.

The effectiveness of Bottneuro AG’s new therapeutic treatment will be tested in several clinical studies this year. While the treatment is not commercially available yet, Bottneuro AG and Samsung remain optimistic about progress that can be made to treat Alzheimer’s disease.

A notable change the 12L update will bring to the Galaxy Tab S8 series is the addition of a taskbar at the bottom of the screen, making the tablet’s UI more intuitive and user-friendly than ever before. Going forward, Galaxy Tab S8 series users can enjoy swifter, more intuitive app switching, more customizable layouts, frictionless multitasking and applications that render better than ever on large screens. Split Screen View can support up to three screens, the taskbar can be temporarily hidden for a more immersive screen view, notifications can be dragged straight into split screen and all apps can be viewed in a grid-style layout, to name a few of the changes users can expect.

Read on to learn more about how 12L is putting accessibility and productivity front and center on the Galaxy Tab S8 series.

Multitasking Made Easy Through Taskbar

Need access to articles and videos at the same time? Want to search your photo gallery while keeping one eye on a message thread? 12L makes the Galaxy Tab S8 series’ new and improved taskbar sleeker and more responsive than ever with expanded multitasking capabilities. Customize your taskbar with your favorite apps and tap seamlessly and speedily between active sessions. The taskbar also remembers and displays your two most recently used applications at any given time, so you can always easily pick up where you left off.

Need to view multiple apps at once? Simply drag and drop two or three of your key apps from the taskbar to split the screen and see the app sessions side by side. You can also enter split screen by enabling the ‘Swipe for Split Screen’ option through Galaxy Labs, a feature that lets you swipe from the left, right or bottom of the screen with two fingers to open up a new application in split screen. To get back to the home screen again, just tap the home button in the taskbar.

Step-by-step guide: Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Labs > Click on “Swipe for split screen” to turn on the feature

Maximizing Split Screen Potential on the Galaxy Tab S8 Series’ Large Screen

The Galaxy Tab S8 series has a detailed and spacious display and new updates let users maximize and customize it to the fullest, unlocking their tablet’s full productivity potential.

Whether you want to stay updated on a group chat while planning your route to the meet-up or want to work on your investment portfolio and check stock price changes at the same time, there are now more ways than ever to enter and make use of split screen. When a notification pops up, users can choose to enter full screen straight away or drag the notification next to a currently active app to instantly enter Split Screen View without disrupting what they were already doing.

You can also use your taskbar to save whole groups of activities by saving your favorite App Pair² in a folder. If one split screen layout is being used to research a new product you are thinking of buying and another layout is dedicated to planning a holiday, save both layouts to the taskbar as separate App Pairs and jump between them at will.

Split Screen View can take your multitasking to new heights by displaying up to three apps at once, which users can rearrange and resize to best fit whatever tasks they are working on.

Step-by-step guide: Open App pair (up to three apps at once) > Tap the three dots in the border between the apps > Click the star-shaped Favorite symbol > Add the app pair to taskbar

New Peek-Through Feature Makes Pop-Overs See-Through When Needed

Pop-overs are powerful. They let you schedule events, change settings and more, all without switching screens. Sometimes, however, you need a quick look at your Samsung Calendar app when adding an event or a peek at your to-do list when writing a reminder, and pop-overs can sometimes get in the way.

With the latest updates,³ you can peek right through your pop-overs by touching and holding the screen around them. Doing this will turn pop-overs temporarily transparent so that you can see the rest of the app behind them. They reappear as soon as you lift your finger. Through simple touch and hold, this seamless flow lets you see the big picture when it comes to making new plans and also works with Clock and Reminder apps.

Step-by-step guide: Open your Samsung Calendar/Clock/Reminder > Plan a new event in a pop-over > Touch and hold the screen outside the pop-over to peek through

More Apps Optimized for Split Screen Make for a Satisfying Productivity Experience

12L expands the list of third-party applications supported on the Galaxy Tab S8 series by enabling all apps to open in a pop-up view or Split Screen View, ensuring that apps are rendered proportionally and optimally on a larger screen.⁴

Adding to pre-existing optimized apps, like Samsung Notes and Google Meet, 12L introduces a wider range of third-party apps that are also designed to scale and adapt to a larger screen. In the months following the 12L update, users will continue to see even more third-party apps optimized for larger-window experiences. Whether on their own or viewed in Split Screen View, this new UI ensures your apps give you maximum productivity power and make the most of every inch of the Galaxy Tab S8 series’ generous display.

Step-by-step guide: Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Labs > Turn on “Multi window for all apps”

¹ Android 12L will be made available for Galaxy tablets including but not limited to Tab S8 series, Tab S7 series, Tab S7 FE, Tab S6, Tab S6 Lite and Tab Active3.

² App Pair supports up to three apps simultaneously. Feature availability may vary depending on app.

³ Peek-through pop-over options available with One UI 4.1.1 update.

⁴ Enabling Multi Window for third-party apps requires activating through Labs. Please see step-by-step guide for further details.

Have you ever wished you could turn your passion into a career?

Today’s youth are eager to forge new career paths for themselves in pursuit of purpose, passion and flexibility. Technology has played a major role in this development, opening the door to unlimited possibilities by affording the workforce of the next generation the power and autonomy to make their work truly their own.

Today, we spotlight three individuals based in Singapore who have taken the path less travelled, and the role played by Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy Tab S8 in boosting productivity and optimizing their work experiences across a range of interesting and unconventional career paths.

Dissecting Lives Through Handwriting

▲ Siti Sulianah

What if there was a way to look into a person’s soul without even having to speak to them? Enter the world of graphology with handwriting expert and Graphologist Siti Sulianah, an individual adept at gleaning insight into personalities through the analysis of handwriting traits such as strokes, pressure and spaces.

What started off as a means of conflict resolution between friends in her youth soon grew into a calling for Sulianah, who today puts her skills to use in a professional capacity at her self-founded graphology company. On top of handwriting analysis, Sulianah provides graphotherapy services — conscious alteration to handwriting to effect a desired change in personality.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, with its super-fast 4nm processor and smoothest S Pen yet, not only replicates but elevates the pen-and-paper experience. “I’m very impressed with the S Pen, which is extremely sharp in capturing tiny handwriting details that would require a magnifying glass to examine if they were written on paper,” shared Sulianah. The multi-screen functionality of the tablet also greatly streamlines her analysis process, as annotations and note-taking can be done concurrently and housed within the same device, with minimal disruption to workflow. In addition, graphotherapy consultations are made more effective with live S Pen demonstrations via video call, as compared to static image references in the past.

Bees in Need

▲ Xavier Tan

Drizzled on pancakes or stirred into tea, honey has a way of making every sweet treat a little more delectable. For most, however, the first thought that comes to mind upon seeing a beehive is to call for pest control. This is why Bee Rescuer Xavier Tan hopes to shift the conversation away from bee extermination and instead towards humane methods of bee removal.

An animal lover from a young age, Tan grew to understand the importance of bees as a keystone species, without which the ecosystem would drastically change for the worse. He thus went on to establish a bee rescue organization with the mission of saving the bees through conservation and educational efforts. On top of bee relocation to their gardens, the group is actively involved in raising awareness of beekeeping practices as well as methods of peaceful co-existence.

A powerful all-in-one device with a 12.4” Super AMOLED screen, the Tab S8+ is a device Tan never finds himself without when out on bee rescue missions. Before, during and after shots of these missions are captured with the tablet’s powerful camera and then transformed into informative video content using the tablet’s in-built video-editing functions. “The large display size of the tablet allows me to share my content clearly and effectively with clients and visitors,” shared Tan.

Let’s Talk… to Your Pets

▲ Ezekiel Ong

Have you ever wished you knew exactly what was going on in the head of your furry friend? For Ezekiel Ong, this tacit and intimate understanding of animals forms the basis of his work at his animal communications company, where he receives, interprets and relays information from pets to their owners.

His first foray into the field of animal communication was driven by the need to bid a final farewell to his beloved pet that passed on. Today, Ong strives to help others better understand their pets by acting as a bridge between the two. His work as an Animal Communicator includes helping owners find out more about their pets’ behaviour and well-being, getting in touch with pets who have passed on and conducting animal communication workshops.

The Tab S8 greatly optimizes Ong’s pet consultation process through the computerization of handwritten and typewritten notes enabled by its S Pen and magnetically attached keyboard respectively. Video calls with overseas clients also go off without a hitch thanks to the tablet’s powerful processor and stunning video and audio quality. “The tablet also allows me to carry notes and course materials around with ease, and it features a long battery life that makes lessons very efficient,” shared Ong.

Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. Though the adage rings true, pursuing the path less travelled is equal parts exciting and daunting, and requires a tenacity and strength of will exemplified by Sulianah, Tan and Ong. If you’re looking to turn your passion into a profession, why not unlock your fullest potential with the Galaxy Tab S8?

That’s why Samsung Electronics has created the Galaxy Tab S8 series to be the ultimate tool in making any student’s lifestyle more manageable. Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for a Galaxy tablet, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra combines the largest display and the thinnest bezels with convenient portability, so you can be prepared for whatever challenges you face inside or outside the classroom. Samsung Newsroom has put together this guide to showcase how campus life can become even smarter with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

Takes Notes To Ace Any Class

If you’re having difficulty keeping up with notes during a class or lecture, try using the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s split-screen feature to quickly organize¹ all the information thrown your way. You can split your screen into three windows during online classes. For instance, you can open your reading assignment on the left and your notetaking app on the right to conveniently access all the apps you need on a single screen. Thanks to the tablet’s 14.6-inch ultra-large display, your notetaking experience will never feel cramped. Even in split-screen mode, apps are still easy to use, spacious and adjustable to fit your needs.

During important lectures where you can’t miss a single detail, you can also sync the live voice recording to your notes.² Simply press the “record” icon in the notes app when class starts and begin writing. You can easily replay the voice recording and follow along with your notes, conveniently synced to the audio, to help you take in even the most complex information.

Look and Sound Your Best on Every Video Call

The Galaxy Tab S8 series is packed with improved features for video calls, so whether you’re joining an online class or catching up with your classmates, you’ll come across loud and clear. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is the first of the Galaxy Tab series to be equipped with a 12-megapixel main camera in the front and an ultra-wide lens for an even wider screen. The Galaxy Tab S8 also comes with the AI-based Auto-Framing feature, which automatically adjusts the camera frame according to onscreen camera movement, such as zooming out or adjusting the angle when someone walks into frame. With the device’s three precision microphones, you can also minimize distractions, reducing background noise for even sharper, clearer audio.

Transform Your Tablet Into a PC

There are times when you just need a laptop, like when you’re completing assignments or preparing to give a group presentation. When this is the case, Samsung DeX³ gives you that PC-like experience, so you can open up multiple app windows at once, just like you would on a PC. Using the DeX Mirroring feature, you can bring your work to the big screen by mirroring the tablet’s DeX window on a TV screen or a monitor. If you have the Book Cover Keyboard for the Galaxy Tab S8 series and a Bluetooth mouse, you can instantly transform your tablet into a working laptop.

Alternatively, you can use the Second Screen⁴ feature to wirelessly connect your Galaxy Tab S8 as a secondary monitor if you already have a laptop. Simply connect the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra to your PC screen and either expand or duplicate the display to push your productivity to the max. With the Galaxy Tab S8, you can work smarter, not harder.

With the newly upgraded S Pen, you can write as smoothly and effortlessly on your tablet as you do on paper. The S Pen has a 30% faster response speed⁵ through a prediction algorithm for a truer pen-to-paper or brush-to-canvas experience. If you’re annoyed by clacking laptop keys or just prefer to write by hand, the S Pen will become your writing utensil of choice.

Find a Hobby You’ll Love

If you want to add a splash of color to your life, why not try drawing using the S Pen? The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has partnered with Clip Studio Paint for an optimized experience that connects your tablet to your Galaxy smartphone. By activating the Companion Mode in the app and connecting it to your Galaxy smartphone, you can turn your mobile phone into a paint palette and your tablet into a canvas. You can create digital masterpieces and unleash your creativity like never before.

Due to the pandemic, staying at home has become the new normal, driving up the popularity of streaming services. When it comes to binging your favorite shows, the Galaxy Tab S8 provides you with an optimal viewing experience. Whether you’re watching on campus or at home, you can experience next-level streaming with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s expansive screen and a rich soundscape with Dolby Atmos anytime, anywhere.

Across the world, students are working hard to achieve their dreams, and the Galaxy Tab S8 is there to help any student balance their schedule and reach academic success. Whether you’re studying at the library, exploring new hobbies, or taking a break, the Galaxy Tab S8 is designed to give you the flexibility to fit your campus lifestyle and the tools to learn, create and play.

Samsung Electronics has rolled up its sleeves to tackle the marine pollution issue that is threatening the safety of humankind and the environment. The company’s eco-conscious efforts include recycling discarded ocean-bound plastic (OBP) located within 50km of the coast and using recycled materials to produce high-resolution monitors and Galaxy devices.

In addition, the eco-conscious water treatment technology that’s currently being used at the manufacturing sites of Samsung’s Device Solutions (DS) Division significantly reduces water usage, reusing an amount of water equivalent to the total usage of two million people over half a year. Efforts like these underline Samsung’s commitment to conserving water.

Check out the infographic below to learn more about how Samsung is reducing marine pollution by transforming OBP into parts for monitors and mobile devices including smartphones, and by purifying wastewater at its semiconductor plants.

The innovative legacy that the Galaxy lineup is known for doesn’t just stop at its smartphones — it applies to all of Samsung Electronics’ devices, too. While maintaining the characteristics of each device, be it smartphone, tablet, or laptop, the Galaxy design refines each product into a simple form. This design ethos integrates advanced technology with the latest trends while maintaining a consistent identity.

The new Galaxy Tab S8 series carries on this legacy. Optimized performance is married with a refined design to expand the user experience in a way that is true to the Galaxy Tab S series.

An Iconic Identity

The Galaxy Tab series has developed over the years, seeing the addition of core user experiences that reflect changing user needs and the application of the latest technologies to devices with a consistent and unique identity. The Galaxy Tab S8 series is a key part of the definitive Galaxy legacy and identity, and consistently reflects the new and improved experiences it provides to users through its design.

The S Pen, a key part of the Galaxy Tab S series experience, bestows a one-of-a-kind identity to the Galaxy Tab S8 series while providing flexible and efficient usability, and has always been included in the box alongside a Galaxy Tab S series device since its first iteration to accompany the user from the beginning. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and S8+ both come with a new and improved S Pen that uses a prediction algorithm for ultra-low latency¹ — delivering an incredible writing experience that mimics gliding a pen across paper. The S Pen charging track on the back of the Tab S8 ensures gentle and firm use by means of a magnet, and the camera hole, S Pen and the Samsung Electronics logo all align smoothly on the back of the device in a linear layout to provide a sense of unity.

The Galaxy Tab S8 series once again offers its users a selection of timeless and harmonious colors. Three colors are available to the series’ users: premium Graphite and Silver hues and a trendy and calming shade of Pink Gold. The matte surface of the tablet, trimmed to match the reinforced metal material, blends luxuriously with the premium color, whichever swatch a user opts for.

Expanded Experiences

The Galaxy Tab S series has always provided users with a wide viewing experience by merit of a large screen. This experience has been further expanded with the Galaxy Tab S8 series. The screen comes in a super slim bezel that brings new depths of immersion, while the enlarged screen is simplified to help you navigate better.

The overall design of the Galaxy Tab S8 series comes together to provide a unified and concise user experience in a way that maintains familiarity by utilizing the same keyboard shortcuts as a PC does. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s expansive screen also makes it easy for a user to split the screen into multiple, resizable windows, so they can multitask without having to toggle between apps.²

From a communication perspective, the ultra-wide front camera on the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra helps users communicate clearly when using the device’s wide screen during video calls or meetings. Additionally, the ultra-wide angle camera automatically adjusts for optimal composition, and the 3-way mic solution delivers clearer sound to provide a truly enhanced video communication experience.

Purposeful Versatility

Samsung’s Galaxy products endeavor to align with the priorities of today’s society and help their users in their pursuit of more diverse and more sustainable lifestyles. Along with its eco-conscious packaging, the Galaxy Tab S8 series also lets users express their true diverse selves thanks to the versatility of its cover.

The Galaxy Tab S8 series’ cover³ is convenient to use and adds to the enjoyable user experience of the tablet as a whole. The new Book Cover Keyboard for the Galaxy Tab S8 series provides the experience of using a laptop thanks to its full keyboard and backlight. While glass is used for the touchpad itself, premium antibacterial polyurethane has been applied to the touchpad area to improve its usability. Additionally, the Note View Cover for the Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+ allows users to write directly with the S Pen on the transparent cover that mimics the pen-to-paper sensation.

The Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+’s Strap Cover can be rotated 360˚, letting users hold the tablet in one hand and use it freely in any desired direction. The Protective Standing Cover for the Galaxy Tab S8 series features an air pocket and an internal shock-resistant structure to firmly protect the device, while its free-stop hinge allows users to freely adjust the standing angle.

Only the Essentials

The Galaxy Tab S8 series’ packaging focuses on just the essentials, carrying only the essence of the product and reflecting those values held dear to us today. The product thickness, camera structure, S Pen and coloring are presented in a way that allows users to be instantly aware of the key characteristics of their Galaxy Tab S series product. The package itself is the thinnest yet in the series, with the minimization of its volume and weight allowing for the conservation of resources and a reduction in energy used for transportation.

The secret behind the beloved legacy of Galaxy products is in the consistent delivery of those values that are unique to the Galaxy series. Samsung’s designers are constantly persevering on their journey to bring new technologies to users while continuing to preserve the essential identity of each Galaxy product.

Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s expansive screen also makes it easy for you to split the screen into multiple, resizable windows, so you can multitask without having to toggle between apps. Get inspired, search websites, and annotate presentation slides — all in one view.

Tablets also play an important role in keeping you connected to others. Samsung has partnered with Google for even better video calling and live sharing¹⁹ experiences through Google Duo,²⁰ so you can co-watch videos with your friends on YouTube, share your browser to help plan your next meetup, or develop creative ideas using Jamboard,²¹ Google’s interactive whiteboard.

Life Opens Up With Galaxy

The Galaxy Tab S8 series performs seamlessly with the entire open Galaxy ecosystem. Openness means giving you the flexibility to define your own mobile experience and easily use Galaxy devices together. We’ve ensured that Samsung’s One UI Tab 4 user interface offers you a consistent and intuitive experience, seamless connectivity as well as smart integrations that flow from your Galaxy Tab S8 to smartphone and PC and back again.

When inspiration strikes on the go, use the S Pen to jot down reminders in a new and improved Samsung Notes app on the Galaxy Tab S8 series and pull them up on your smartphone later for easy reference. And with the Galaxy Tab S8 series and Galaxy S22 Ultra, Quick Share enables you to share photos, videos and files between devices twice as fast²² as before. Thanks to Auto Switch, your Galaxy Buds will automatically pair from your Galaxy Tab S8 to your Galaxy S22, so users can move between devices without missing a beat. And for the first time, Samsung Health is available on Galaxy tablets so you can browse fitness videos for workout content and keep track of your health and fitness data from your Galaxy Watch on a larger screen.

You can also turn Galaxy Tab S8 into a portable second monitor²³ with touchscreen capabilities for Galaxy PCs for side-by-side multitasking. And enhancements to Samsung DeX²⁴ — a convenient desktop experience that takes the Galaxy Tab S8 from tablet mode to desktop mode — now allows transparent app windows and DeX mirroring for when you want to share your tablet’s screen on an external display.

A Tablet You Can Trust and Feel Good About

In today’s always-connected world, security is more important than ever, which is why all three Galaxy Tab S8 models are equipped with new features that give the ability to track when your tablet’s camera and microphone are in use and allow you to instantly block all app access to prevent unwanted recording. The Galaxy Tab S8 Series is also protected by Samsung’s industry-leading Knox Vault platform, which encrypts personal data and keeps stored files and information isolated from the device’s main operating system to safeguard it from attacks. All members of the lineup sport an intuitive fingerprint scanner²⁵ that enables single-touch device unlocking.

As part of our commitment to giving users the best possible mobile performance and experience, the Galaxy Tab S8 series will be supported by up to four generations of Android OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates.²⁶ Now millions of Galaxy users can increase the lifecycle of their devices even further with the most up-to-date security, productivity and other exciting new features, as Samsung continues to scale this effort across our product line-up and your Galaxy ecosystem.

Standout Sustainable Design

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra comes in bold and timeless Graphite, and Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+ come in three sophisticated shades — Graphite, Silver and Pink Gold.²⁷ Samsung is also releasing a new Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Book Cover Keyboard²⁸ that takes the Ultra’s functionality even further with wider, backlit keycaps, customizable shortcut settings and adjustable standing angles. The Book Cover Keyboard features premium, antimicrobial polyurethane leather and a glass-coated touchpad that enables smooth and responsive typing. Plus, Wireless Keyboard Share²⁹ can link your connected keyboard to a Galaxy smartphone for easy typing across devices.

You also have plenty of ways to express your personal style with distinctive Galaxy Tab S8 accessories and add-ons, including a transparent Note View Cover that enables handwriting with S Pen, even while the cover protects the screen, and an eye-catching Strap Cover to hold your Tab S8 in the orientation that suits you best.³⁰

Samsung is also proud to help reduce ocean-bound plastic and protect the planet, with the Galaxy Tab S8 partially constructed with plastic components repurposed from discarded fishing nets. Samsung is helping lead the industry by employing this practice. The Galaxy Tab S8 devices also come in Samsung’s slimmest packaging to date, made from sustainably-sourced paper, which enables the company to lower emissions, and produce less waste.
