Since the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S2 in 2011, when “Over the Horizon” was first debuted, Samsung has collaborated with several artists to reimagine its musical theme and create a signature sound that motivates people to challenge their limits. Globally known for his record producing ability, SUGA is the first artist to remix the song twice on top of producing a tune for the new editions of the Galaxy foldables.

SUGA’s goal when working on the ‘Over the Horizon 2022 Produced by SUGA of BTS’ was to encourage people to look forward to a bright future and think about what excitement is waiting ‘over the horizon.’ Subsequently, the new remix is all about positivity and brightness, and was composed so that when people hear it, they feel hopeful and upbeat.

From its origins as a rock-themed ringtone, the updated versions have put a variety of unique spins on the original theme, including new age, orchestral pop, fusion jazz and even a Nordic orchestra inspired spin. Much like the Galaxy ecosystem, “Over the Horizon” is constantly being updated to reflect what is happening in the world, and the partnerships forged with artists invited to remix the theme reflect the spirit of openness and collaboration that underline the Galaxy philosophy.

As excitement builds for the launch of the new Galaxy foldables, Samsung is delighted to invite SUGA to return to the mixing desk to create an all-new version and music video for ‘Over the Horizon 2022 Produced by SUGA of BTS.’

In addition, ‘Over the Horizon 2022 Produced by SUGA of BTS’ will be available as a ringtone through an upcoming software update on Galaxy devices.^*

When you feel healthy, you feel that anything is possible. Now more than ever, consumers are proactive and taking a more holistic approach to health and wellness — from diet and exercise to proper sleep.

Thanks to new habits, routines and interests formed over the last few years, we’ve seen a growing interest in people who want to understand their physical and mental wellness better.

With this desire for knowledge comes the increased demand for tools that allow consumers to track their overall health.

In response, Samsung Electronics has amplified its wellness capabilities. By ensuring that people can access features promoting their fitness and health and receive deeper insights and data, Samsung wants to guide users toward their wellness goals.

This solution should not only be functional but also packaged together in a stylish, customizable and iconic design.

In line with this vision, Samsung is introducing the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro.

Representing the culmination of Samsung’s wellness vision and leadership in advanced health capabilities, this new series is the next step in redefining digital health and wellness for everyone.

Samsung’s Most Advanced Suite of Health and Wellness Features

The core of the Galaxy Watch5 series, Samsung’s advanced BioActive Sensor is the foundational technology driving the next era of digital health sensing — and the first step in helping consumers learn more about their body’s wellness.

Through the advanced BioActive Sensor, users can better understand their overall health and wellness through a single chip that efficiently combines three health sensors. Simply put on the watch — ensuring the sensor is touching the skin of your wrist.

Keep Track of Your Health Journey

Improving your health doesn’t happen overnight. Achieving the results you want is a long journey, full of work, rest and recovery results — and the Galaxy Watch5 series is with you every step of the way.

With the watch’s Body Composition feature, you can receive a more holistic picture of your body with key measurements that go beyond your weight, including skeletal muscle and basal metabolic rate. By setting incremental goals, you can stay on track with your progress through a guided approach.

Measure Blood Oxygen Levels With Ease

In recent years, users worldwide have prioritized having a more holistic understanding of their wellness. Knowing how well oxygenated your blood is can help you better understand your overall health. With this in mind, the Galaxy Watch5 series includes an easy way to measure your blood oxygen levels with technology powered by the BioActive Sensor.

Prioritize Your Heart Health

The Galaxy Watch5 series also lets users track additional health metrics quickly and easily. For instance, users can detect their blood pressure, heart rhythm and electrical activity, receiving deeper insights into their heart health anytime, anywhere. What’s more, with a new Temperature Sensor, the Galaxy Watch5 series will open up all new experiences with additional insights.

Track Your Sleep Quality

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life, which is why the Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro give you options to make the most of your shut-eye. With Advanced Sleep Tracking Capabilities, you can monitor your sleep quality and patterns with data from stages of sleep, snoring and blood oxygen levels.

Achieve a Better Night’s Sleep

The watch’s tailored Sleep Coaching also helps users improve sleep habits with a customized month-long program based on their assigned Sleep Symbol. With Better Sleep with SmartThings Integration, you can create the best sleep environment possible by automatically detecting when you’re falling asleep and activating sleep pre-sets for connected devices. What’s more, the Galaxy Watch5 offers enhanced safety protection, so you can sleep soundly knowing that enhanced fall detection alerts are sent if you or a loved one falls from bed.

Optimize Your Rest and Recovery

Following a difficult workout, the Galaxy Watch5 series can also help maximize your muscle recovery. The watch offers heart rate data 2-3 minutes after cardio-intensive training and even recommends the perfect amount of fluids to drink based on the amount of sweat lost during a workout.

Enjoy Crystal-clear Durability

As Samsung’s most durable and feature-packed watch yet, the Galaxy Watch5 series is built with premium materials designed to stand the tests of time. For instance, with the watch’s enhanced Sapphire Crystal display, users can enjoy an extra layer of durability that’s 60% harder — perfect for the rigorous demands of even the most active users and outdoor enthusiasts. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro offers even greater durability thanks to the further enhanced Sapphire Crystal, Titanium Case and a protruding bezel that protects the display — so users can confidently take on the outdoors without worrying about wear and tear.

Built for Comfort and Style

The Galaxy Watch5 series is designed for all-day comfort, as the ergonomic strap has air pockets that provide a better fit for your wrist. Users can wear the Galaxy Watch5 anytime and anywhere, whether camping in the woods or camped out on the couch. Finally, with an even greater selection of all-new straps and watch faces, you can truly make the watch your own by mixing and matching.

Charge Up Your Workout

From running errands to running on the treadmill, users need a watch that keeps up with them every day — that’s why Samsung has offered a watch that lasts all day and then some. The Galaxy Watch5 is equipped with a 13% larger battery capacity — so you can spend even more time on the trail.

When you’re in need of a quick charge, you can gain up to 45% of additional battery life with just 30 minutes of charging. For those needing an even larger battery life, Galaxy Watch5 Pro comes with a 60% larger battery, maximizing usage time and lasting twice as long as the Galaxy Watch4. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro even doubles the battery capacity of the Galaxy Watch5, better meeting the needs and lifestyles of its target users.

Always Know Where You’re Going

The Galaxy Watch5 Pro offers many ways for hikers and cyclers to ‘go pro’ with their workouts. With Routes, hikers can record, download and import hike route data so their trail-mates can follow their lead. What’s more, hikers can keep their eyes on the trail and off their wrists with GPX, which contains GPS, speed and altitude information. With the help of vibrations and a voice guide, hikers can receive turn-by-turn directions. In addition, with track back, you never have to worry about getting lost in the woods — you can always make it back to your starting point by retracing your route.

A Caddy for Your Wrist

The Galaxy Watch5 Pro also comes in a special edition that’s a hole-in-one for golf enthusiasts. Featuring a white strap, green button, special watch face and Golf edition package, this watch also includes a Smart Caddy app to offer users a smarter golf experience. You can pinpoint your exact location as you perfect your swing by using detailed distance measurements and a guide to more than 40,000 golf courses worldwide.

In today’s world, users are united by the desire to live a happy, healthy lifestyle, and that starts with a better understanding of their current health status. Samsung is guiding its users toward achieving their goals with innovative features that put their wellness first. The Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro are packed with new features, including customization options, an expanded app ecosystem and much more. In doing so, Samsung is providing a cutting-edge, all-in-one tool for holistic wellness to help you not only understand your body and mind but also live your healthiest lifestyle every day.

The world is ever-changing, and today’s users are adapting quicker than ever. The concepts of innovation and ingenuity are constantly being redefined, and trends come and go in the blink of an eye. New attempts just for the sake of being new can no longer intrigue or satisfy today’s users.

Understanding this, Samsung Electronics puts huge amounts of effort and craftmanship into perfecting each component of its products, and incredible amounts of investment and attention are focused on even the smallest of aesthetic details. The latest results of such finetuning, Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4, accordingly possess that core design value that can only come through such a process: being able to truly match users’ potential.

Streamlined to Perfection

Both Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 have gone through meticulous development stages in order to refine their design to the point of perfection.

Sleek and Balanced

In designing Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4, Samsung focused wholly on the devices’ essence to provide unparalleled, immersive full-screen experiences. Straightened edges and slimmer hinges create neatly cut, flat and compact designs that offer a much more comfortable grip.

The screen ratio of the Galaxy Z Fold4 has also been optimized by factoring in the most important aspects of everyday use to balance usability, pocketability and immersive main screen experiences.

Polished and Refined

The rear glass screen of Samsung’s latest foldables has been designed to express colors with much more density while providing a natural yet sensuous feeling thanks to its haze processing. The glossy metallic finishing of the frames, meanwhile, harmonizes with the matte haze glass, contributing to the devices’ overall simple and concise form.

For Galaxy Z Flip4, Samsung’s designers included eye-catching metal décor to further emphasize the upgraded camera experience while maintaining a simple design that captures the seamless composition of the device’s Cover Screen and camera.

For Galaxy Z Fold4, the camera decoration and back glass come together to complete the device’s design, accentuating the horizontal layout of the device’s camera design.

A New Wave of Colors

In order to provide users with more aesthetic freedom when experiencing their devices, the devices in the new foldable lineup come in a range of stylish and energizing color swatches.

The series’ signature shade, Bora Purple, embodies the colorful heritage of the Galaxy series for the Galaxy Z Flip4, while the bright yet elegant Pink Gold shade serves as a more neutral choice. Also featured in this new shade range are a crisp and smooth Blue shade and a simple, inviting Graphite shade. The pastel tones of Galaxy Z Flip4’s color options bring both newness as well as familiarity to the device, while also reflecting the latest in color trends.

For Galaxy Z Fold4, users can choose from the elegant, nature-inspired Graygreen shade, the warm, neutral Beige shade and the iconic Phantom Black shade that embodies that original spirit of the Galaxy series. Each color swatch has been carefully blended for more profound and striking user experiences.

Unfolding New Possibilities

Crucial to the design of Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are enhancements that advance the unique experience of these next-generation foldable.

One-Of-A-Kind Practicality

Galaxy Z Flip4’s Flex mode panel¹ mode panel now comes with a touchpad that supports a range of gestures, allowing users to navigate through their device more quickly and conveniently than ever before with such supported gestures as zooming in or out and flipping pages.

Furthermore, Galaxy Z Flip4’s Cover Screen provides even richer user experiences. More widgets, including Calendar, SmartThings Scene and Direct Call, are now supported on the Cover Screen, and a single swipe to the Cover Screen brings up a wide range of features on the Quick Settings screen including sound and brightness controls, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Airplane mode. Users can also reply to their messages directly from the Cover Screen using not only preset messages, but also the Speech-to-Text function and even emojis.

The process of taking selfies with the Cover Screen has also been enhanced to provide entirely new user experiences. Unlike previous models, wherein Quick shot would be deactivated when the device was unfolded, users can continue using their camera even when the device is unfolded to a certain angle, allowing for selfies taken at a variety of angles and perspectives. Users can also enjoy upgraded preview images on the Cover Screen that reflect the actual ratio of the photo, as well as Portrait Mode, for better selfie experiences even when on-the-go.

A Multi-Tasking Wonder

Galaxy Z Fold4’s Taskbar feature takes the productivity and efficiency offered by a big screen to the next level. The continued layout of the Taskbar from the Hotseat provides more visual consistency, and users can create a Taskbar with their most frequently-used apps to switch back and forth between them seamlessly. 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.

With Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4, the two latest entrants into the company’s genre-defying foldable lineup, Samsung is continuing to expand experiences for its users into whole new realms of the foldable experience.

The launch of the first Galaxy Fold marked a turning point in smartphone history. Samsung Electronics had opened up a new mobile category, engineered for a new era. Continuing its history of mobile innovation, the release of the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 marks the next step in creating flexible phones for the modern era.

With the latest launch of the Galaxy Z series, Samsung has built on the success of its previous iterations and added more features, accessories and experiences to push the boundaries of designs that flip and fold even further.

Since its release, each phone has developed a unique design identity: Z Flip4 is the ultimate self-expression tool inside and out, and Z Fold4 is a multitasking powerhouse with ultimate performance.

But whatever phone you have in your hand, you can get ready to experience foldables fully redefined.

Let the Future Unfold in Your Hands

The Galaxy Z identity is known for phones that transform their shape as well as transform their users’ everyday lives. The updated Z Fold4 features an even wider screen, slimmer hinge and lighter weight — providing the most comfortable one-handed use to date. Meanwhile, Z Flip4 is just as premium and compact — taking up half the size of a conventional smartphone when folded. With the slimmer hinge, refined edges, contrasting haze back glass and glossy metal frames, the new design is the most refined yet.

Your Phone, Your Way

Now more than ever, users want a device they can make truly their own. With this in mind, Z Flip4 features an expanded range of color options and accessories with which users can express their own unique personalities and preferences. Users can complement their style with a premium design in legacy colors, including Bora Purple and Graphite, and even bold new colors like Pink Gold and Blue.

The fun doesn’t stop with just the Z Flip4 — Z Fold4 users can choose from refined and premium colors such as Graygreen, Beige and Phantom Black, and then accessorize with a color-matching S Pen Fold Edition.

Design, Centered On You

Building upon the elevated design principles the Bespoke line is known for, the Galaxy Z Flip4 series has also released an expanded Galaxy Bespoke Edition,¹ an exclusive device customization experience for users to create devices that are uniquely theirs. Now, consumers in 28 countries can choose from 75 combinations of glass and frame colors to customize their devices.

Accessorize in Style

Of course, a phone isn’t complete without the perfect accessories. From classic slim clear covers and premium flap leather covers, to ring and strap silicone cases — or even a design from Marvel, Disney and Star Wars — users can choose a case to stand out from the crowd. Available in an array of colorful graphic designs, Samsung offers accessories that precisely frame your phone’s iconic shape.

Customization From Cover to Cover

Inside and out, the Galaxy Z Flip4 offers next-level customization options for users to express themselves. The Cover Screen features new clock designs and backgrounds, including images, GIFs and even videos. Users can choose a Galaxy theme that fully updates both the main and Cover Screen with custom fonts, icons and designs to perfectly complement your style.

Take a Perfect Selfie, Instantly

Get a perfect selfie every time with enhanced Quick Shot. This quick and easy camera mode for the Galaxy Z Flip4 Cover Screen now supports a preview that reflects the actual ratio of the photo, as well as Portrait Mode — offering more choice in how you capture on the go or from the comfort of your home.

Capture Moments at Every Angle

Designed with the young creator in mind, Z Flip4 wants its users to have limitless opportunities to express themselves from every angle. With FlexCam, users can capture photos and videos from different points of view, with bolder angles than ever before. Shoot hands-free video or capture full group selfies at various angles by partially folding Z Flip4 to activate FlexCam.

The upgraded Z Flip4 camera comes equipped with a 65% brighter sensor, resulting in better photos and videos in low light, so users can take great content, day or night.

Stylish and Durable

Both Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 come equipped with our Armor Aluminum frames and hinge cover along with exclusive Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass Victus^®+, making the devices designed to be the toughest foldables ever. What’s more, both Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 make a splash being the only water-resistant foldable phones on the market.

Function up Front

For users who need essential tasks done in a flash, Z Flip4 comes with expanded Cover Screen functionality. Make calls, reply to texts with emoji and Speech to Text, or even turn off your lights at home without opening your device. With more shortcuts than ever, including a flashlight, airplane mode, WiFi and Bluetooth enablement, and even a new SmartThings Scene widget, users can do it all without ever unfolding their phone.

Picture Perfect, Every Time

Getting that perfect shot is easy with Z Fold4, which takes stunning photos and videos with an upgraded 50MP wide lens and 30x Space Zoom lens. The phone’s unique form factor gives it a special advantage when taking photos, especially regarding its variety of camera modes, including the larger Zoom map activated on Capture View Mode, Dual Preview and Rear Cam Selfie. With the larger pixel size, a 23% brighter sensor, and enhanced processing power, users can capture clear images, day or night.

Ultimate Productivity From Anywhere

The Galaxy Z Fold4 is designed to help you get more done at once. With the new Taskbar, you can easily access and switch between your most used apps, providing a familiar layout like your PC. With simple swipe gestures, users can instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split their screen in half for more ways to multitask. You can even check your email on your phone with the two-pane UI exclusively designed for foldables, giving you more information at once.

Uncover Next-level Convenience

Just like Z Flip4, Z Fold4 offers a convenient way to interact with your device without ever needing to unfold your phone. With the optimized Cover Screen, you can enjoy a standard smartphone experience on the outside and a tablet-like experience on the inside — all without compromising on size, weight or pocketability. What’s more, you can comfortably and easily use the Galaxy Z Fold4’s Cover Screen with only one hand, thanks to its wider size, new screen ratio, narrower bezels and lighter weight. Now, a better way to use your foldable phone is at your fingertips.

Stay in the Game

Gamers and movie-watchers can rejoice as the Z Fold4 provides an even brighter 7.6-inch Main Screen that makes any kind of entertainment immersive. You can stay focused on your favorite content thanks to the screen’s 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and less visible Under Display Camera (UDC). With better hardware and response times creating a smoother gaming experience overall, there’s a good reason why the Galaxy Z Fold4 is known as the ‘Best Gaming Device in the Galaxy.’

While continuing the Galaxy smartphone legacy of innovation, the Galaxy Z series has been built to offer users iconic design, cutting-edge experiences and convenient features that users know and love. The Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are the latest examples of how Samsung is expanding smartphone possibilities and creating versatile devices for the modern era.

Samsung Electronics announces today that it has made progress towards achieving the 2025 sustainability goals for the MX(Mobile eXperience) Business. Key initiatives include developing and incorporating recycled materials into products, designing more eco-conscious packaging and giving new life to older Samsung Galaxy devices to reduce e-waste.

Since announcing the Galaxy for the Planet vision at Unpacked in August 2021, Samsung has worked diligently to create new ways to recycle and repurpose resources that would otherwise become harmful waste, minimize its environmental footprint and inspire innovation that helps preserve the planet. Today, Samsung is sharing the progress so far on its sustainability journey.

“Samsung is taking consistent and impactful actions that help protect people and the planet. We marry sustainability and innovation in everything we do,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “I am proud of our progress to date. At the same time, it’s been a humbling experience that enables us to continue on our journey towards achieving our sustainability vision with even more conviction and rigor than before.”

Expanding the Use of Recycled Materials to the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4

Developing new, recycled materials is a key focus area for Galaxy for the Planet. The more Samsung recycles, the more resources it preserves. While repurposing materials into Galaxy devices presents many challenges, the benefits for the planet make it well worth the effort.

Samsung designed the new Galaxy Z series and Galaxy Buds2 Pro with repurposed fishing nets, or ghost nets, that could otherwise end up in the ocean.

First integrated into the Galaxy S22 series in February 2022, today there are eleven Galaxy devices that use repurposed fishing nets including Galaxy Book2 Pro series and Galaxy Tab S8 series as well. By repurposing abandoned fishing nets into a high-performance material for Galaxy technology, Samsung helps to minimize the effects of plastic pollution — 640,000 tons of fishing nets are abandoned and pollute the world’s oceans every year.¹

Repurposing discarded fishing nets is only one example of Samsung’s advancements in increasing its use of recycled materials in its products.

Samsung has incorporated eco-conscious materials including repurposed fishing nets, post-consumer materials (PCM) or bio-based resin into 90% of Galaxy devices launched in the past year.² For the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, more than 90% of the plastic components are made with partly recycled materials.³

This process requires complex engineering and technical skills to ensure the overall quality, safety and reliability of all new materials for Samsung’s innovative technologies. Samsung plans to make further investments in research and development to source and transform other, new materials for use in Galaxy products and to increase the presence of recycled materials in each device. 

Changing the Way Galaxy Products Are Packaged

Samsung set a goal to eliminate all single-use plastics in mobile product packaging by 2025, and the company has already reduced a sizeable amount of single-use plastics in its current packaging for Galaxy smartphones including the new Galaxy foldables. Samsung will explore more ways to eliminate single-use plastics in packaging by assessing every aspect of its packaging designs, down to the smallest of details.

Starting with the launch of the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung now uses 100% recycled paper for flagship product packaging.

By doing so, Samsung will be able to save the equivalent of nearly 51,000 trees⁴ with the Galaxy S22 series and the new Galaxy Z series this year.

Samsung has also reduced the volume of packaging for Galaxy Z Flip4 by 52.8% and for Galaxy Z Fold4 by 58.2% respectively compared to the first-generation Galaxy foldables. By reducing each device package’s volume, Samsung ultimately reduces its environmental footprint in transporting these units using trucks, planes and ships. The company estimates that this reduction in packaging volume equates to a reduction in carbon emissions from transportation of approximately 10,000 tons by the end of 2022.⁵ In addition to continually evolving packaging for flagship smartphones, Samsung will expand eco-conscious packaging to other product categories.

Scaling Solutions That Reduce E-waste

More than ever, reducing e-waste is crucial to advancing a circular economy that preserves and repurposes the planet’s finite resources. According to the World Economic Forum, 57 million tons of e-waste was generated in 2021, and it is expected to grow by 2 million tons per year.⁶

To address this, Samsung has been expanding the Galaxy Upcycling program, which gives new life to older Galaxy smartphones. Through Galaxy Upcycling at Home,⁷ Samsung repurposes smartphones with a simple software update that turns them into smart home devices that support everyday needs, such as childcare and pet care.

An important part of Galaxy Upcycling is ensuring that these sustainable practices not only support the environment but also improve people’s lives. The company also upcycles secondhand Galaxy devices into medical diagnosis equipment called EYELIKE fundus cameras that provide necessary eye care services in underserved communities. This program has already upcycled hundreds of Galaxy devices and provided basic eye care for over 13,000 patients in Vietnam, Morocco, India and Papua New Guinea.

The Path Forward

Samsung has set clear sustainability goals by scaling solutions across its business. Whether it is repurposing discarded fishing nets for Galaxy devices, striving to achieve plastic-free packaging or moving us forward to achieve zero waste to landfill and zero standby power of smartphone chargers, Samsung is realizing its Galaxy for the Planet vision one step at a time.

There will be more challenges along the way, but Samsung will hold itself accountable and continue to report progress on its mission to effect positive change and inspire others to protect the planet for generations to come.

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.

When I started my career at Samsung 25 years ago, I was a young engineer with a passion for technology and all it could do. Over the years, the capacity of mobile innovation has exceeded even my ambitious expectations. It has brought us conveniences and capabilities that make our lives better, but it has also given us the opportunity to be better. The ability to connect without proximity empowers us to break down barriers and work together to make progress. And with humanity facing some of its most complex challenges yet, we need to collaborate and innovate solutions more than ever before. That’s why I believe mobile technology has a vital role to play in helping us protect our planet.

Samsung has always challenged what’s possible with technology. And now, we are taking our next step towards putting sustainability at the center of our innovations. From eco-conscious materials to global partnerships, we are exploring every opportunity to help power the world with mobile technology that serves as a tool for positive change.

Innovation With Impact

We’ve been on a journey for years at Samsung, marrying sustainability and innovation by using recycled materials in our smartphones, wearables and accessories. In addition to our ongoing effort to use more eco-conscious materials including recycled PCM (post-consumer materials), the new Galaxy smartphones and tablets that were unveiled at our latest Unpacked used select components containing 20% recycled ocean-bound plastic from discarded fishing nets.

We focused our innovation efforts on a pervasive and especially hazardous type of plastic waste that is harming marine life and our natural ecosystems — discarded fishing nets. Every year, 640,000 tons of fishing nets are abandoned in and around our oceans. With help from like-minded partners, we found a way to repurpose them into a new, high-performance material that can be incorporated into critical components of the Galaxy S22 series. From now on, more and more Galaxy devices will play a small part in reducing plastic waste in our oceans.

I know we still have a long way to go. And at Mobile World Congress 2022, we will share our next wave of innovations that incorporate recycled ocean-bound plastics.

Using Technology as a Force for Good

At Samsung, we believe in making mobile technology that has positive environmental impact and putting the power of our Galaxy ecosystem into the hands of passionate change makers.

I’ve seen this firsthand with our growing Generation17 initiative, which Samsung leads in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme. Generation17 empowers young activists to take on pressing issues like climate change, education and more, so the world can make headway towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, also known as the Global Goals, by 2030. And with the recent addition of six new Young Leaders, the program now spans countries in Africa, Asia & The Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America and the Middle East and supports work across all 17 Global Goals.

That’s how mobile innovation fuels transformation. It amplifies simple actions and individual voices and brings them together to amount to big, global change.

We Need Collective Action

I am in awe of the impactful ways people are helping to change the world with Galaxy, and I promise our work does not end here. Samsung will continue developing innovative technology that bridges barriers, connects communities and addresses the climate crisis.

Samsung is ready to do more. We will take real action, hold ourselves accountable and share our journey — from our successes to our challenges and lessons learned. We will act with our industry peers, with developers, with the Galaxy community, with everyone, to strengthen technology as a force for good.

For the release of the Galaxy S22, Samsung has gone even further. For the first time, “Over the Horizon” is debuting alongside an animated film, blending the artistic expression of both a world-renowned musician and a visual artist to capture the feelings of today. The latest version, themed “New World,” breathes new life into a post-pandemic world reimagined through jazztronica music and heartfelt illustrations.

LA-based musician Kiefer Shackelford is a pianist and producer known for his cross-genre, hip-hop-influenced aesthetic and jazzy electronic sound.

“’Over the Horizon’ was a genuinely enjoyable experience for me,” said Shackelford. “A great roster of musicians has been a part of the Samsung Galaxy signature ringtone, which gave me the impression that Samsung is looking for some solid music, not just any other ringtone. You have a five to ten-second opportunity to bring a spark to everyone’s day, and I hope this hopeful, optimistic and wistful melody does the trick.”

Bringing Shackelford’s music to the screen are illustrations from fellow Grammy-nominated artist and producer Phil Beaudreau. His sketches draw viewers into a familiar world that has shaken off the dust of the pandemic. His warm, silhouetted characters evoke nostalgia for a time when we were free to interact and smile freely, as people dribble basketballs, run through parks and connect without fear. All of this plays out in front of an animated Shackelford and his piano, his jazzy chords bringing the whole scene to life.

The 2022 version of “Over the Horizon” envisions a world where we emerge from the pandemic better than we were before — remembering what we’ve learned, reaching out for new connections and ready to rebuild. Paired with the new Galaxy S22 devices, it’s a powerful message. While the Galaxy S22 gives you the power and freedom to shape your world, the latest take on “Over the Horizon” encourages us to make that world our best one yet.

Samsung Electronics established a design identity for the Galaxy series with the belief that originality derives from the combination of deep reflection, extensive research, time and effort. Following this process enables new values to be added that elevate the standards for premium smartphones. This is how Samsung has continuously managed to enhance Galaxy smartphones’ designs while maintaining essential values.

Read on to learn more about how Samsung refined the Galaxy S22 series’ design.

The Essence of Originality

For the Galaxy S series, Samsung has always aspired to develop a simple and flat form that harmonizes technology and design without exposing the boundary between them. With smooth, beautiful lines that resemble the curvature of sand dunes, moderation and solidity coexist in the Galaxy S series’ simplified form.

Bold Geometry

The Galaxy S series’ design philosophy prioritizes capturing only the most essential elements in order to establish a unique identity. In the case of the Galaxy S22 series, that means equipping the devices with a flat design and a symmetrical front and back. Details on the sides have been pared down to ensure that the smartphones look sleek and smooth from any angle.

In addition, the Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra’s camera layout has been rearranged to establish a design identity that the Galaxy S series will maintain going forward. In particular, the camera of the Galaxy S22 and S22+ has been positioned in such a way that it is equidistant from the devices’ horizontal and vertical edges, creating a more refined impression.

A Seamless Combination

The Galaxy S22 and S22+ both feature analogous colors in their metal camera housings and bodies, creating a sense of unity. The sleek, flat line drawn by the side frame separates it from the camera housing, creating a clean-cut appearance. The camera system, its waterproof structure and the angle of the camera housing were all redesigned and delicately refined and simplified.

Newness Beyond Innovation

Samsung designers continuously strive to raise the bar for premium smartphones even further with innovations that enhance Galaxy devices’ unique identity. Accordingly, the Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra demonstrate how Samsung has been delivering the best performance and technology while also considering ways to make it easier for users to utilize the devices and express themselves.

An Optical Illusion

The Galaxy S22 Ultra combines superior performance with a sophisticated design. Here, the scope of the Galaxy S series has been expanded by inheriting the Galaxy Note series’ simple yet sturdy design identity, which is optimized for the S Pen.

As a camera’s performance increases, it tends to grow larger and protrude more from the design. To prevent the Galaxy S22 series’ camera from sticking out, Samsung minimized the camera’s size by optimizing its design. The camera’s mirrored metal frame establishes a brand new look with a specialized finishing method that creates the impression that the camera is floating above the device’s body. These features allow the camera to harmonize with the body. The result is an elegant design that does not protrude too far and includes a mirrored metal frame that reflects the color of the device depending on the angle.

A Versatile S Pen That’s a Joy To Use

The Galaxy S22 Ultra’s built-in S Pen offers a more creative and joyful mobile experience by allowing users to write and draw on the device’s expansive screen. With 70% lower latency, the new S Pen allows users to enjoy a more realistic experience that feels like putting pen to paper.

What’s more, users can also open apps more easily with Compact Mode in the Air Command menu, and the Samsung Notes experience has become even more convenient. When users want to save a link or a web page, they can do so easily using Samsung Notes in a pop-up or split screen and keep the page they were viewing open.

Expand Your World

One UI expands what users can do with the Galaxy S22 series. For example, when frequently used widgets are grouped using the Smart Widget function, widgets that users will find useful depending on the time and location will be automatically displayed. There’s a widget to notify users of upcoming events, as well as one that indicates when their Galaxy Buds’ batteries are low. Removing the need to open multiple widgets at once enables the home screen to be used more efficiently.

The camera has also been enhanced to allow users to take high-quality photos and videos of distant subjects and in low-light settings. Functions that improve the sharpness of selfies and remove the moiré patterns that appear when capturing TV screens or monitors have also been added to the gallery, providing a new photo-remastering experience. The photo editor’s automated AI eraser intelligently detects and removes shadows and light reflectors in a more efficient manner than if users were to select and erase objects manually.

Furthermore, the newly introduced Samsung Wallet¹ feature combines digital payments, ID and asset management in one convenient and secure place. This simplifies users’ daily routine by providing layers of security to protect their private information.

Designs That Reflect Their Era

With Galaxy devices’ designs, Samsung strives to deliver an optimal mobile experience that factors in users’ unique preferences and lifestyles. With designs that evolve with the times, Samsung enables users to use their mobile devices as they wish, supporting more enjoyable mobile experiences that put users in charge of their daily lives. Continuing to do so allows Samsung to create more value and a brighter future for communities and society.

Trendy Yet Classy

The Galaxy S22 series’ colors are both unique and contemporary — classic and premium, but trendy as well. Each device is available in Phantom Black, Phantom White and Green. The Galaxy S22 and S22+ are also available in Pink Gold, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra is available in Burgundy.

The refined Phantom Black hue showcases the Galaxy S series’ premium value, while the pure Phantom White complements the reflection of the metal body, projecting a message of hope and positivity. Green reflects the current times and encompasses a variety of tastes, while Burgundy accentuates the premium value and the modern and unique feel of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. A double layer nano coating adds rich tone and texture to the Pink Gold edition, revealing a variety of colors that go beyond the limits of a standard pink.

More Customization

While the devices’ designs have been simplified and refined, the joy of choosing a smartphone cover is greater than ever. The S-View Flip Cover’s compact display features the same UX as the Galaxy Watch, offering consistent and unified usability. The Frame Cover, meanwhile, offers a choice of two backplates — one clear, one mirrored — so users can easily decorate their device to suit their taste.

The Silicone Cover with Strap combines bold graphics with colors that create a strong impression whenever the smartphone is used, while the transparent Protective Standing Cover features multiple options in terms of kickstand designs and colors, offering users a unique look. A wide variety of cover materials, such as silicon and leather, as well as trendy designs and colors, allow enabling anyone to find a cover design that suits their unique personality.

Reduce & Recycle

The Galaxy S22 series’ design identity is also reflected in its packaging. The number 22 on the package expresses the unity of the camera housing with smoothly permeating graphics, while the bold “S” hints at the smartphones’ stylish and flat design.

The smartphones’ packaging was produced in an eco-conscious manner, utilizing 100% recycled paper. All components, including accessories and manuals, were made more compact to reduce the packaging’s overall volume. These eco-conscious efforts enabled Samsung to equip the Galaxy S22 series with packaging that’s 56% smaller by volume than that of the Galaxy S20.

For years, the Galaxy S series has been setting the standard for premium smartphone designs. Samsung’s ultimate goal for the series is to continuously provide mobile experiences that reflect users’ feedback and evolve in ways that benefit the entire world. Going forward, the company will continue to create innovative experiences that reflect our changing times, break existing boundaries and transcend the limits of what smartphones can do.

Over the last decade, Samsung Electronics has worked to reimagine product design and development to do more with less when it comes to the planet’s natural resources. Samsung’s latest step in this mission was the recent creation of a Galaxy technology that repurposes one of the world’s main sources of plastic waste — discarded fishing nets.

Discarded fishing nets pose serious threats to marine life and natural ecosystems, often ending up in people’s food and water sources. Due to long-term exposure to seawater and UV rays, fishing net material is fragile, making the nets difficult to upcycle directly. To find a solution, Samsung created a material that maintains the quality of its smartphones while preserving the health of the world’s oceans.

How It Works

Samsung believes collaboration is crucial to breaking barriers and creating innovations that bring both performance and sustainability. Therefore, Samsung joined forces with likeminded organizations to evolve new capabilities and address the complex challenge of ocean plastic pollution.

Samsung first partnered with Royal DSM, a leading science-based company to gather fishing nets from fishers who collect them along the coastlines of the Indian Ocean. After ensuring collection of the nets, the company separates, cuts, cleans and extrudes them to develop an eco-conscious material, which consists of a minimum of 80% recycled polyamide, or nylon.

Samsung then collaborates with Hanwha Compound, a polymer compounding company to optimize the material’s performance to match the company’s high-quality standards for smartphone technology. The material is transformed into high-performance polyamide resins that are constructed with a minimum of 20% repurposed fishing nets.

Now ready for use in mobile technology, Samsung incorporated these upcycled polyamide resins into key components of the Galaxy S22 series’ key bracket and inner cover of the S Pen.

What This Means for Samsung’s Future

This is only the beginning. Samsung is committed to evolving and expanding its use of ocean-bound plastics across all its products. By the end of 2022, Samsung’s use of recycled ocean-bound material could prevent more than 50 tons of discarded fishing nets¹ from entering the world’s oceans.

The Galaxy S22 series marks another step in Samsung’s sustainability journey under Galaxy for the Planet, which aims to unleash the company’s scale, innovation and spirit of open collaboration to deliver tangible climate actions across the MX Business and enable Galaxy users to adopt more sustainable lifestyles. This includes increasing its use of recycled materials, reducing standby power, eliminating single-use plastic from packaging and diverting all waste from landfills by 2025.

“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 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.”

From creative capabilities and productivity, to power and performance, the Galaxy S22 Ultra brings everything you love about the Note experience — including its signature S Pen — to the S series. Galaxy S22 Ultra joins the new Galaxy S series of devices — Galaxy S22 and S22+ — offering every feature of those devices plus new added features for the best of the S and Note series.¹

Samsung’s Most Powerful S Series Phone Yet

For the first time ever, Note users’ favorite built-in S Pen is coming to an S series device — and it’s the fastest, most responsive S Pen we’ve ever made. With 70% lower latency² you can write and draw more naturally on your S22 Ultra’s expansive screen, and explore apps in new ways.

With S Pen, the S22 Ultra becomes more than a phone. It embraces the legacy of the Note while opening up new ways to be creative and get things done. The result is a mobile experience unlike any before.

With seamlessly integrated camera lenses and a sleek metal frame that creates a mirrored effect, Galaxy S22 Ultra represents Samsung’s most premium look and feel. Luxurious glass and haze finishing adds an elegant touch to S22 Ultra’s reimagined linear, floating layout — complete with Galaxy Note’s iconic sharp angles — all encased in a streamlined design. As durable as it is striking, Galaxy S22 Ultra comes in four nature-inspired color options, including Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green, and, new on S22 Ultra, Burgundy.³

Capture Stunning Photos and Videos, Day or Night

With Galaxy S22 Ultra, you can capture footage that’s instantly post-worthy — in any lighting conditions. Advanced Nightography features available on the entire S22 family of devices allow you to snap crisp, clear videos on both the front and back cameras, whether you’re recording during the day or night. S22 Ultra is built with a 2.4um pixel sensor — Samsung’s largest pixel sensor ever,⁴ enabling its camera lenses to capture more light and data, optimizing the lighting and detail of your video clips. Plus, S22 Ultra’s advanced Super Clear Glass lens helps you take smoother and clearer nighttime videos without flares. Meanwhile, video Auto Framing ensures your camera always captures exactly who you want, whether that’s one person or ten.⁵

With zooming capabilities that will get you 100x closer to the action,⁶ Galaxy S22 Ultra isn’t just Samsung’s most powerful camera, it’s also the smartest. Packed with new AI supported features like Portrait mode, Galaxy S22 Ultra is built to make every photo look professional. With S22 Ultra’s robust intelligent camera capabilities, your phone does the heavy lifting, so you always capture stunning photos and video in any lighting.

Whether you’re an amateur or a professional photographer, Galaxy S22 Ultra gives you all the tools you need to snap a beautiful shot every time. Like Galaxy S22 and S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra offers exclusive access to the Expert RAW app,⁷ which features a comprehensive suite of in-camera editing tools that deliver a DSLR-like experience and let you enjoy more creative control. With the ability to save photos in RAW format up to 16bit, you can take more control over your edits with more of your images’ data. And just like a DSLR camera, you can brighten or darken your photos with ISO settings and shutter speed, adjust white balance to make your photo more warm or cool, and manually focus on your desired subject to get your images looking exactly the way you want.

Unbridled Power and Performance

Galaxy S22 Ultra is built for the most productive workdays. S22 Ultra is part of the first Galaxy S series to be equipped with the latest 4nm processor, which powers Samsung’s most advanced AI and ML processing. It also features Wi-Fi 6E, up to twice as fast as Wi-Fi 6.⁸ That means you can enjoy unrivaled performance on all your most-used apps, whether you’re gaming, streaming, or working.⁹ All that power runs on Galaxy S22 Ultra’s powerful battery, which gives you more than a full day of use in a single full charge.¹⁰ S22 Ultra also supports 45W super-fast charging, so you can record more than 50 minutes of video — after a 10-minute charge.¹¹ Work, play games, watch videos and more, with power that always keeps you connected.

Whether you’re viewing content or creating your own, Galaxy S22 Ultra’s immersive 6.8-inch,¹² Dynamic AMOLED 2X display brings everything to life in stunning detail and brighter than ever with a peak brightness of 1,750 nits. Plus, Vision Booster technology enables Galaxy S22 Ultra’s screen to intelligently adjust brightness throughout the day, making sure you get the best possible view of your content even in bright sunlight.

As part of our commitment to giving users the best possible mobile performance and experience, the entire Galaxy S22 series will be supported by up to four generations of Android OS upgrades.¹³ Now millions of Galaxy users can take advantage of the latest security, productivity and other exciting new features, for longer. Samsung will scale this effort across our product line-up to ensure you’re fully supported across your Galaxy ecosystem.

Security You Can Trust

The Galaxy S22 series is secured by Samsung’s powerful Knox Vault security platform, which includes a secure processor and memory that completely isolates sensitive data like your passwords, biometrics or Blockchain keys from the phone’s main operating system. One UI’s privacy dashboard and 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 series also introduces several new security features, including the ARM micro architecture, which helps prevent cyberattacks that target your operating system and memory.

Plus, the Galaxy S22 series brings you Samsung Wallet¹⁴ — a seamless, convenient and secure experience to make everyday life easier. Samsung Wallet combines digital payment, ID, keys and asset management into one tool to simplify your routines, from showing your student ID to compiling travel documents before a flight.

Stay Connected With the Galaxy Ecosystem

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

“Our smartphone cameras have transformed the way we create, share and communicate. Through photos and videos, we express ourselves and connect with the people we care about,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ MX (Mobile eXperience) Business. “That’s why we focused on designing our latest S series devices with groundbreaking camera capabilities that work day and night, powered by our best mobile performance yet.”

Own the Night With Samsung’s Most Intelligent Camera Yet

Galaxy S22 and S22+ are designed to deliver next-level camera experiences, so people can connect and share wherever they are. With the Galaxy S22 series’ revolutionary new Nightography features — like the 23% larger sensor than S21 and S21+ and Adaptive Pixel technology — your camera is designed to let in more light, draw out details, and capture colors that make your content pop, even in the dark.¹ Both Galaxy S22 and S22+ are built with a powerful 50MP main camera, 10MP tele-lens, and 12MP ultra-wide lens, so you always get the high quality shots. When you’re capturing videos with friends, the new Auto Framing² feature detects and tracks up to 10 people and automatically adjusts the camera’s focus, so your camera captures everyone clearly. Both devices are powered by advanced VDIS technology which minimizes vibrations, so you get smooth, sharp footage even when you’re on the move.

Galaxy S22 and S22+ are also equipped with Samsung’s latest AI technology that takes your photos to the next level. It’s easy to take perfect Portrait mode photos with the new AI Stereo Depth Map, and your subjects will look better than ever with even the smallest details appearing crisp and clear thanks to a sophisticated AI algorithm. The same works for your favorite furry friend: Galaxy S22/S22+’s new Portrait mode helps prevent pet hair from blending into the background, so you always get the best shot of your pet.

Power and Performance That Keep Up With Your Life

From work to home, Galaxy S22 and S22+ are designed to power you through even the busiest days with the first-ever 4nm processor on a Galaxy smartphone. It powers our most advanced AI and ML processing to date, delivering unrivaled performance for all your streaming and productivity needs. What’s more, network behavior analysis streamlines your app performance by automatically detecting which app you’re using and directing the most power there — so streaming, surfing the web, and navigating apps have never been smoother.

Galaxy S22 in Phantom Black

A lightning-fast processor demands power that can keep pace. Galaxy S22 is built with a robust all-day battery³ and 25W fast charging⁴ that never slows you down, and Galaxy S22+ features a super powerful battery that can last even longer than a day on a single charge. Galaxy S22+ also offers 45W super-fast charging, so you don’t have to wait when your power is running low.

Streaming a movie or your favorite show will look even better on Galaxy S22 and S22+’s beautiful displays. Both devices come equipped with a Dynamic AMOLED⁵ 2X display, designed for the best in gaming and watching. Whether you choose Galaxy S22’s premium 6.1-inch display or Galaxy S22+’s 6.6-inch,⁶ each screen is built with intelligent Vision Booster technology that automatically adjusts the display to the lighting around you and enhances the color contrast, so you can enjoy the best possible view of your content.

S22 and S22+ will also ensure you can always stay connected and collaborative. Through our partnership with Google, you can enjoy Google Duo⁷ live sharing⁸ to view photos in Gallery with friends or write meeting notes with colleagues on Samsung Notes — even while you’re apart.

Design to Perfection and Built to Last 

Both Galaxy S22 and S22+ feature the S series’ iconic, fan-favorite Contour-Cut design that blends the camera seamlessly into the housing. To create a sleeker and more refined look, Samsung built both devices with a distinctive flat display, complete with a luxurious glass and haze finish. Now, the S series camera housing is designed to match the color of the device’s body with a slim and symmetric metal frame for a seamless look. The result is a balanced, unified design that’s modern, fashionable, and sleek. Both the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ are available in Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green and Pink Gold.⁹

Galaxy S22 in Phantom White

Galaxy S22+ in Pink Gold

And that stunning design is built to last: the Galaxy S22 Series presents Samsung’s most durable mobile devices yet. Galaxy S22 and S22+ are the first S series models made with Armor Aluminum — our strongest aluminum frame, so you can take your phone anywhere with peace of mind. The Galaxy S22 series is also the first smartphones to feature new Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass Victus^®+. The S22 series devices are equipped with this tough glass on the front and back, so you can worry less about accidental drops.

But we know true durability is not just about hardware. As part of our commitment to giving users the best possible mobile performance and experience, the entire Galaxy S22 series will be supported by up to four generations of Android OS upgrades.¹⁰ Now millions of Galaxy users can take advantage of the latest security, productivity and other exciting new features, for longer. Samsung will scale this effort across our product line-up to ensure you’re fully supported across your Galaxy ecosystem.

The Galaxy S series also makes it easy to make your phone your own. You can use Samsung’s clean and intuitive new One UI user interface to customize the look and feel of your home screen and widget. Tailor your icon colors, widgets, color palette, and more to your personal preferences, and create a mobile experience that reflects who you are. One UI also gives you easy access to a wealth of emojis, GIFs and stickers directly on your keyboard, so you can instantly communicate exactly how you feel without typing a single word.¹¹

Help Build a Sustainable Future Through Galaxy for the Planet

As our most eco-conscious device ever, the Galaxy S22 series pioneers mobile technology while supporting our planet. Plastic pollution poses serious threats to our environment, and discarded fishing nets are especially harmful to marine life and our oceans. By collaborating with leading organizations, Samsung helps recover discarded fishing nets¹² and transforms them into a high-performance material for our smartphones. This material — used in the Galaxy S22 series’ component, key bracket — contains 20% recycled ocean-bound plastic¹³ from discarded fishing nets. The Galaxy S22 series also incorporates post-consumer recycled material in its speaker module, as well as the inner parts of the power and volume keys.

In addition to ocean-bound plastics, we use 100% recycled paper for the Galaxy S22’s packaging and include a protective film made from recycled plastic. Every smartphone case is also designed with UL-certified, eco-conscious materials¹⁴ — such as recycled post-consumer plastics or bio-based substances. These purposeful innovations are the latest example of Samsung’s commitment to doing more with less as part of Galaxy for the Planet.

Security You Can Trust

The Galaxy S22 series is secured by Samsung’s powerful Knox Vault security platform, which includes a secure processor and memory that completely isolates sensitive data like your passwords, biometrics, or Blockchain keys from the phone’s main operating system.

Samsung has been leading the industry by introducing hardware (HW) and software (SW) that break the existing mold every year for the past 12 years since the unveiling of the first Galaxy S device in 2010. Some of the most game-changing so far include a large-screen smartphone with excellent immersion; a smartphone-stylus combination that enhanced productivity and creativity; and the world’s first dual-pixel camera technology. In addition, the Galaxy Note series, Galaxy tablet series and various wearable devices including Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds have contributed to the wider Galaxy ecosystem that has so transformed user’s lifestyles.

Ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event set for February 10, Samsung Newsroom is providing a look back at the technological legacy of the Galaxy series. Read on to learn more about the 10 innovative Galaxy smartphone technologies that have set new standards and transformed the way we live our lives.

#1. 2010
The AMOLED Display: Bigger Is Better

One of the major benefits of a smartphone is that it allows users to enjoy content on a large screen with clear picture quality that sits right in the palm of their hand. Samsung kicked off the trend of the large screen era in the smartphone industry with the introduction of their AMOLED display. This display, developed using Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) technology, is characterized by its clear picture quality, self-luminescence and larger screen size.

The Samsung Galaxy S was the world’s first smartphone to be launched with a Super AMOLED display, an ultra-thin screen that consumes less power and provides crisper and more vivid picture quality. With the introduction of the Galaxy S in 2010, users’ interest became piqued in obtaining bigger screens — such as the 4- to 5-inch screens of the AMOLED display compared to the conventional 3-inches on other phones — on which to fully immerse themselves in their favorite content.

Samsung has continued to take its AMOLED technology to the next level by unveiling devices with more powerful and more advanced screens, such as the Galaxy S10, the world’s first mobile device with a High Dynamic Range10+ (HDR10+) supported Dynamic AMOLED display, and the Galaxy S21 series, which features a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with an automatic refresh rate of up to 120Hz based on the content type. Samsung’s innovative technology has enabled silky-smooth scrolling and uninterrupted viewing experiences, even on larger screens.

#2. 2011
The Galaxy Note and S Pen: Adding Analog Touch to Digital Devices

As of 2011, it became no longer necessary to keep notebooks and writing instruments in our bags at all times. With the introduction of the Galaxy Note equipped with S Pen, it is now possible to save and share everything from memos to drawings right on our smartphone’s screen. At that time, the Galaxy Note was launched with an S Pen that supported 256 levels of pressure onto the device’s large screen. Since then, both the Note and the S Pen have become inseparable, and as the series has developed, both have evolved significantly.

For example, Samsung introduced Air Command for the Galaxy Note 3 to give users easy access to signature S Pen features when hovering their S Pen over the screen. The company also then incorporated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology into the Galaxy Note 9 S Pen so that its stylus pen could also function as a remote control. For the Galaxy Note 10, the addition of Air Action features enabled users to remotely control their device when switching camera modes or zooming in or out, a marked change from previous models which only permitted users to take photos from a distance. In line with this innovative spirit, Samsung introduced the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered S Pen for the Galaxy Note 20 in order to provide users with a more delicate and sophisticated drawing experience, and as of last year, the innovative S Pen is now available on devices such as the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold3 to expand its compatibility.

#3. 2013
Samsung Knox: Your Trusted Mobile Bodyguard

We are now living in the era where most of our daily tasks and experiences can be undertaken all with a singular smartphone, meaning that the importance of security cannot be overemphasized. Samsung Knox has become a reliable shield for users concerned about information leakage or virus penetration.

Samsung Knox, installed on Galaxy devices since the Galaxy Note 3 in 2013, protects devices on a step-by-step basis from the chipset to the operating system (OS) and application level, while also blocking hacking and unauthorized access. In addition, thanks to its encrypted container space, a user’s personal and business data can be separated and managed safely.

In 2021, the company launched Samsung Knox Vault with the Galaxy S21 in order to thoroughly ensure the protection of ever-growing amounts of data. In addition to offering the industry’s highest level of security chipset (eSE, or embedded Secure Element) and a secure processor that prevents HW-level attacks, Samsung Knox Vault features a tamper-resistant security memory to protect a user’s various passwords and biometric information.

#4. 2014
Superb IP Rating: Ultimate Protection From Dust and Water

In the early 2010s, if you accidentally dropped your smartphone while using it in water, nothing but despair awaited you. To mitigate this, Samsung expanded the horizon of smartphone experiences by applying waterproof and dustproof functions to the Galaxy S5 for the first time in 2014.

From the Galaxy S7 in 2017 onwards, IP68,¹ the highest waterproof and dustproof rating, has been applied to Galaxy devices in order to strengthen their performance. The IP68 rating is given to devices after testing in fresh water at a depth of 1.5m for 30 minutes. Galaxy users are now able to use their smartphones with peace of mind thanks to strong waterproof and dustproof technologies.

#5. 2015
Samsung Pay: A Mobile Wallet in Your Pocket

It is no exaggeration to say that, after 2015, the trend of going ‘wallet-less’ saw a surge in increase. At this time, Samsung introduced Samsung Pay, a mobile payment service that replaces the cash and credit cards in a user’s wallet. Since this service was first introduced on the Galaxy S6 in 2015, it has established itself as a core representational service of the Galaxy smartphone.

When using public transportation, as well as when out shopping, users need just touch their smartphone instead of having to get out their wallet to pay. These days, leaving the house without a wallet has become a normal habit.

#6. 2016
Advanced Camera Technology: The World’s First Dual Pixel Sensor

Smartphone camera technologies are advancing day by day, to the extent at which if you have a smartphone, you’re able to capture pictures and videos comparable to that of professionals.

In 2016, Samsung raised the smartphone camera function to a new level by installing the industry’s first dual pixel in the Galaxy S7. At that time, the dual pixel was an image sensor only seen in high-end digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. By increasing the amount of light received by both the front and rear cameras, the Galaxy S7 was able to focus quickly and accurately, as well as take optimal photos in dark environments.

Samsung then combined an Ultra-Wide angle lens and intelligent SW in the Galaxy S10 to help users take even sharper pictures. The Galaxy S20 features a remarkable four quad cameras, raising the level of camera functionality once again. In particular, the optical zoom performance has been greatly improved; Galaxy S20 Ultra users can harness the Space Zoom function to zoom in up to 100 times, allowing them to take clear pictures of the night sky.

#7. 2018
One UI: Making My Own Galaxy

One UI is an interface that supports the unique user experience of Samsung Galaxy, and was first introduced in November 2018.

By dividing the viewing area and the touching area, the layout of One UI allows users to comfortably perform all operations with just one hand, and all necessary essential functions are included concisely on-screen so that everyone and anyone is able to use it easily. One UI is also characterized by a unified user experience as it has been applied consistently to devices across the Galaxy ecosystem, including smartphones, tablets and wearables.

One UI 4, updated last year, harnesses a completely different color palette with which to decorate a device’s home screen, icons, notifications and wallpapers in your own style. In addition, One UI 4 features strengthened security features, such as allowing users to easily select what to share and what to keep private in order to keep up with users who increasingly value their individuality and their privacy.

#8. 2019
Galaxy Z Series: The Dawn of the Era of Foldable Smartphones

In 2019, Samsung pioneered the field of foldable smartphones by unveiling the world’s first Galaxy Z Fold, equipped with a 7.3-inch Infinity Flex Display.

Samsung’s newly developed hinge technology makes it possible to open and close the smartphone as smoothly as one opens a book, and offers users secure, long-lasting flexibility that passed a test to withstand 200,000 folds. In 2020, the company’s foldable lineup was expanding to include the Galaxy Z Flip, which features a compact design as the screen unfolds vertically.

Samsung not only pioneered a new form factor, but also new usability options through such functions as Flex mode, which allows for more usage scenarios by fixing the hinge at a specific angle, and Multi-Active Window, which can open and run apps at the same time with applications optimized for the foldable screen for a split screen view.

Last year, Samsung expanded their foldable lineup with the Galaxy Z Fold3, which saw the inclusion of an S Pen and waterproof and dustproof technology, and the colorful, pastel-toned Galaxy Z Flip3 Bespoke Edition, leading the era of foldable popularization.

#9. 2021
An AI-Powered Eraser: Removing Unwanted Objects From Photos

As part of Samsung’s mission to expand the application of innovative AI technologies to all smartphones, the company introduced the Object Eraser feature that lets you remove any unwanted objects in your photos with just a touch.

The Object Eraser function, first introduced in the Galaxy S21 in 2021, is a photo editing tool that harnesses artificial intelligence. Simply by touching the object you want to remove from a photo and tapping the ‘object erase’ button, the object is deleted without the need for a separate editing program. Currently, this function is available on smartphones with One UI 3.1 or higher, such as the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Z Fold3.

Samsung first applied its AI-powered interface, Bixby, to the Galaxy S8 in 2017, and now users can control their major Galaxy devices using only their voice. In addition, Samsung has been incorporating AI technologies into its device OS, battery and camera in order to improve performance and convenience.

Galaxy for the Planet: For a Sustainable Future

Samsung is fully committed to minimizing the environmental impact of its products throughout the entire lifecycle of its smartphones, from the design to the production stage through to their usage and disposal, in order to ensure that Galaxy smartphones contribute to greater environmental sustainability. Under the sustainability vision of its Mobile eXperience (MX) Business, “Galaxy for the Planet,” Samsung is consistently working to achieve a circular economy by reusing and recycling resources in order to build a better Galaxy ecosystem.

One such effort towards sustainability is a reduction of plastic usage in smartphone packaging. The percentage of plastics used in the Galaxy S21 packaging accounts for a mere 4 percent of the total weight, cutting down the waste generated per packaging unit by 49 percent as compared with that of the Galaxy S7. In addition, the Galaxy S21 packaging contains only 58 percent of the paper used in that of the Galaxy S7, helping save some 44,802 trees a year. Samsung plans to exclude plastic materials in its product packaging and apply recycled materials to all of its products in the MX division by 2025.

The products set to be unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked 2022 are drawing attention thanks to the revelation that they have been designed using eco-conscious materials recycled from marine waste. Samsung has succeeded in transforming discarded fishing nets, a major contributor to marine pollution, into a material with which to produce smart devices, and the company plans to apply this material to all its products in the future.

¹ IP (Degree of Ingress Protection, IP Code) is a product-related protection technology standard established by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and is applied to various IT products and industrial devices. IP68 is the highest rating for dust and water resistance. Ip68 has a waterproof function that can withstand 1.5m of clear water for 30 minutes, but it is recommended that the device be washed off immediately after contact with water and then dried.

Samsung Electronics today announced a new update to the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic, continuing its commitment to helping users reach their health and wellness goals and express their personal style. Users can expect new improvements like advanced interval training designed for any cyclist or runner, a new sleep coaching program and new body composition¹ insights. Galaxy Watch4 users will now have even more ways to customize their look with upgraded watch faces, and a new line of stylish straps.

“We understand the growing needs of smartwatch users, and are committed to guiding our Galaxy Watch4 series community on their unique wellness journeys with our latest update,” said Janghyun Yoon, Executive Vice President and Head of Software Platform at Mobile eXperience Business, Samsung Electronics. “We are excited to continue this effort as part of our wider initiative to redefine holistic wellness through expanded experiences and new innovations.”

Motivation To Move                                                                                                                  

The latest body composition update gives users even more insight into their health progress. Samsung Health will also be providing body composition insights powered by Centr,² a digital fitness program curated by Chris Hemsworth, to help users transform their health, fitness and mindset. In addition, Galaxy Watch4 users will receive a 30-day trial³ for full and unrestricted access to Centr. 

Whether you’re just looking to get active or training for an upcoming race, Samsung’s new interval target feature for runners and cyclists lets them pre-set the duration, distance and number of sets for their workout. From there, Galaxy Watch4 guides them through a custom intensity training session with a series of high-intensity workouts interspersed with low-intensity workouts, making for an impactful and targeted workout every time.

We are continuing our collaboration with top-ranked apps⁴ like adidas Running and Strava to help users power through their exercise.

Work Towards a Better Night’s Sleep

Building on Galaxy Watch4’s robust sleep tracking capabilities, the new sleep coaching program helps users develop better sleep habits. By tracking sleep patterns over seven days and completing two related sleep surveys, the program assigns one of eight sleep symbol animals representing the user’s sleep type. Then, it will guide users through a four to five week coaching program that includes missions, checklists, sleep-related articles, meditation guidance and regular reports to support users as they work towards improving their sleep quality.

When it comes to waking up refreshed, a peaceful and quiet environment is key to achieving a healthy rest as well. Galaxy Watch4 recognizes when users fall asleep and automatically turns off Samsung SmartThings enabled lights to help create better sleeping conditions.⁵

Deeper Insights for a Healthier Heart

Combined with the advanced BioActive Sensor technology and Samsung Health Monitor app,⁶ Galaxy Watch4 measures both blood pressure⁷ (BP) and electrocardiogram⁸ (ECG), allowing users to monitor their heart health anytime and from anywhere. Since the first introduction in 2020, Samsung Health Monitor app is currently available in 43 markets globally, expanding to 11 more in March, including Canada, Vietnam and South Africa.

Greater Selection of Matching Straps and Watch Faces

The new Galaxy Watch4 update makes the wearable experience even better, from the inside out. Users can further customize their watch face with additional colors and digital clock fonts that make the watch truly their own. Also, new strap colors⁹ such as burgundy and cream, and the new fabric band and link bracelet will be available for a more personalized look.

Committed to Expanding Compatibility Within the Android Ecosystem

In 2021, Samsung and Google introduced co-developed Wear OS Powered by Samsung, bringing smoother connections across Android devices and seamless access to more apps via Google Play including Google Maps, Google Pay and YouTube Music. Coming soon through an additional update, users will be able to stream music over Wi-Fi or LTE from the YouTube Music app on their Galaxy Watch4. This means that users can leave their phone behind and still enjoy their favorite artists as they work out on-the-go.

Additionally, Google Assistant will be available on Galaxy Watch4 series in the coming months. With access to both Bixby and Google Assistant, consumers will be equipped with advanced voice assistant functionality to meet their various needs.

Users can also now install their favorite smartphone apps¹⁰ on their Galaxy Watch4 during initial setup with one tap, creating a seamless experience across devices right out of the box.

Availability^{11, 12}

This software update will be available via the Galaxy Wearable app for Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic starting the day of the Unpacked – February 10^th KST. Users can purchase the new watch straps beginning late February.

In a move that combines sustainability and innovation, Samsung Electronics developed a new material that gives ocean-bound plastics new life as they’re incorporated into various Galaxy devices. Made with repurposed ocean-bound discarded fishing nets, the use of this material marks another step in our Galaxy for the Planet journey that aims to minimize our environmental footprint and help foster more sustainable lifestyles for the Galaxy community.

Now and into the future, Samsung will incorporate repurposed ocean-bound plastics throughout our entire product lineup, starting with our new Galaxy devices that will be revealed on February 9^th at Unpacked. These devices will reflect our ongoing effort to eliminate single-use plastics and expand the use of other eco-conscious materials, such as recycled post-consumer material (PCM) and recycled paper. With this transformation, the future of Galaxy technology will bring leading product design and deliver better environmental impact.

The Hidden Threat of Discarded Fishing Nets

When you think of ‘ocean-bound plastic’,¹ you likely envision a water bottle or a grocery bag drifting on the ocean surface. What may not come to mind is a more hidden threat – the 640,000 tons of fishing nets that are abandoned and discarded every year.

Lingering in our oceans for centuries, these ‘ghost nets’ are responsible for trapping and entangling marine life, damaging coral reefs and natural habitats and even ending up in our food and water sources. These discarded fishing nets are disrupting the delicate balance of our environment at an alarming rate. Collecting and repurposing these nets are vital first steps in keeping our oceans clean as well as preserving the planet and our collective future.

Designing More Sustainable Products

Samsung has always pushed the boundaries of mobile technology, and the company is now looking to do the same with its sustainability practices. By giving new life to discarded fishing nets that would otherwise become dangerous waste, Samsung – through its creative solution – exemplifies how we can all do more with less to conserve our planet’s resources.

Samsung is committed to addressing ocean plastic pollution in a way that will positively impact not only the environment but also the lives of all Galaxy users. This new technological advancement marks a notable achievement in the company’s journey to deliver tangible environmental actions and protect the planet for generations to come.

Repurposing ocean-bound plastics is just the first step in our collective mission to address the climate crisis, and Samsung looks forward to using our scale, innovation and open collaboration to uncover additional solutions. Learn more about our vision for a sustainable future at Unpacked (February 9^th at 10 a.m. EST).

¹ Ocean-bound plastic is abandoned plastic waste of all sizes (micro-plastics, mezzo-plastics and macro-plastics) that are located within 50km of shores in communities or areas where waste management is inexistent or very inefficient.

Starting on February 4, Samsung’s “Tiger in the City” campaign will bring a giant 3D tiger roaring to life on digital 3D displays in five of the world’s most vibrant cities – New York, London, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur and Seoul. The disruptive 3D tiger will burst through digital barriers to showcase how Samsung’s next smartphone lineup is set to help users own the night with new advancements to its low-light smartphone photography technology.

By channeling the image of the tiger, Samsung is also embracing its own innovative past following over a decade of refusing to play it safe and driving the mobile innovations that shape our world. With its new larger-than-life campaign, Samsung is inviting you to see and feel this vision up close at street level ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event on February 9.

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 single device gave way to new digital industries — to remote work, schooling, entertainment and fitness — and the ability to capture, explore and communicate 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 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 5.3-inch 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 with 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, video calls are hands-free and easier. And multitasking with multiple windows is also a breeze, as your phone becomes tablet-sized in the blink of an eye. And once again, the industry took notice, with many mobile companies now following in our footsteps to make foldables the next big thing.

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 your feedback — and continue to deliver mobile experiences that empower us all to evolve.

We know many of you were surprised when Samsung didn’t release a new Galaxy Note last year. You loved the unparalleled creativity and efficiency of the Galaxy Note series, which enabled you to switch from gaming nirvana to high-octane productivity in the blink of an eye. You raved about the lifelike S Pen, which many say rivals putting ink to paper. And we haven’t forgotten about these experiences you love.

Catalyzing the Next Evolution of Galaxy

For years, Samsung has converted the skeptics who thought our ideas were impossible. Whether it’s a screen that’s too big, a stylus no one knew they needed or a pro-grade camera that could truly bring mobile photography out of the dark.

With every fresh evolution of Samsung Galaxy devices, we have introduced features that redefine the entire mobile category. And we’re about to rewrite the rules of industry once again.

At Unpacked in February 2022, we’ll introduce you to the most noteworthy S series device we’ve ever created. The next generation of Galaxy S is here, bringing together the greatest experiences of our Samsung Galaxy into one ultimate device.

With it, you will own the night — taking the best and brightest photos and videos you’ve ever captured with a phone. You will also dominate the day with power, speed and tools that can’t be found elsewhere. You will enjoy cutting edge-innovations made possible thanks to the smartest Galaxy experience yet. All while feeling good about being part of the most sustainable Galaxy ecosystem. And, yes, you will help Samsung rewrite the future of smartphones once again.

Get ready for the ultimate Ultra experience.
