																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days, whether we’re connecting with friends and family, leading a conference call on the go, snapping photos, or playing a favorite mobile game, we rely on our smartphones for almost everything we do.</p>
<p>Combining fan-favorite Note features with an all-day battery, a Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) connected S Pen and Samsung Electronics’ most intelligent camera yet, the Galaxy Note9 raises the bar for smartphone performance and power with innovations that help users get the most out of work, play and everything in between.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>A Signature Design</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sX2CRpVqBB0?rel=0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The premium design cues that Note users know and love have been updated for the Galaxy Note9 to foster a more comfortable and streamlined mobile experience.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Note9’s 6.4-inch Infinity Display is the largest the series has ever seen, with plenty of room to enjoy a favorite movie or game, or write, draw or play with the connected S Pen. The device’s Dia-cut metal frame looks sleek and slim, and features an interplay of glossy and non-glossy finishes that exudes a premium look. The Galaxy Note9 is available in a selection of four standout color options: Midnight Black, Metallic Copper, Ocean Blue and Lavender Purple.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>A Mobile Remote Control</strong></span></h3>
<p>The Galaxy Note9’s enhanced <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/in-depth-look-1-a-mobile-remote-control-the-galaxy-note9s-connected-s-pen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S Pen</a> introduces entirely new ways for users to manage their device and express their creativity.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u6C606gB6ZM?rel=0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The addition of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology has transformed the S Pen into a convenient and customizable remote control that allows you to easily manage apps and functions, including the camera, from within 10 meters of the Galaxy Note9. The PENUP-powered Live Drawing and Photo Drawing features, meanwhile, offer users simple tools to create dynamic works of art that showcase their artistic skills.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/024NJMxbcVY?rel=0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>In addition to functioning as an intuitive remote control, the Galaxy Note9’s S Pen also includes support for Samsung DeX, Samsung’s powerful productivity solution. Users who connect the Galaxy Note9 to a screen via Samsung DeX will be able to utilize the S Pen to streamline a wide array of tasks, such as delivering presentations.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>An Intelligent Camera</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mQeAgi9owj4?rel=0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>To make capturing the perfect picture as simple as possible, the Galaxy Note9 enhances Samsung’s industry-leading <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/in-depth-look-2-stellar-shots-every-time-the-galaxy-note9s-intelligent-camera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">camera</a> technologies with deep-learning capabilities that make it easy to snap stunning shots.</p>
<p>The camera’s new Flaw Detection and Scene Optimizer features utilize advanced AI to help users take the best possible picture. The former automatically notifies you of any flaws in your photos, such as blinking eyes, so you can capture another shot, while the latter automatically analyzes objects, scenery and time elements in the camera’s frame in order to recognize the type of scene you’re photographing and optimize color tones accordingly.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Premium Power and Performance</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DIuBhOPPXPY?rel=0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>As <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/video-a-lot-can-change-in-a-day-unpacked-official-teaser-series">teased</a> before the Unpacked event, the Galaxy Note9 offers users the very best in terms of battery life, speed and storage.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/in-depth-look-3-the-power-to-do-more-the-galaxy-note9s-high-performance-features" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy Note9</a>’s all-day, 4,000mAh battery is Samsung’s most powerful and reliable yet, and the device’s 128GB of baseline storage offers more than enough room for all of your photos, videos and apps. An industry leading cooling system provides optimal performance during graphics-intensive activities like gaming, while a 10-nanometer processor and support for mobile carriers’ fastest network speeds ensure that you’re never stuck in the slow lane when downloading or streaming your favorite content.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Even More Dynamic with Samsung DeX</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LFZ-zHOC1wg?rel=0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Samsung’s powerful productivity solution, Samsung DeX, becomes even more versatile when paired with the Galaxy Note9.</p>
<p>The new, easy-to-carry HDMI Adaptor makes utilizing Samsung DeX even more convenient, creating more opportunities to enjoy a PC-like experience at the office, at home or on the go. The solution’s dual-screen support allows users to work simultaneously on the Galaxy Note9 and on a connected display, and lets you utilize the phone as touch keyboard, a touchpad, or a surface for drawing with the enhanced S Pen.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Featuring refined designs and Samsung’s most advanced cameras yet, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ offer powerful tools to transform how users capture special moments, express themselves and enjoy immersive entertainment.</p>
<p>Both devices offer a smartphone experience that’s personalized in ways that enhance users’ connected lives, and designed to reimagine the way that we communicate, share and experience the world around us.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>1. A Streamlined Design</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Kd05k6Z_Fw" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Both the 5.8-inch Galaxy S9 and the 6.2-inch S9+ introduce refinements to the Infinity Display that make Samsung’s signature screen even more striking.</p>
<p>These include reinforcing the Super AMOLED displays with thicker Corning© Gorilla© Glass 5 and crafting the bezels and screen in a deeper black to conceal the iris sensor and create a more uniform, minimalist aesthetic. Both devices feature sleek, contemporary designs, and are available in a choice of four colors: Midnight Black, Titanium Gray, Coral Blue, and the all-new Lilac Purple.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>2. Make Everyday Moments Epic</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z4LXuz3Mj-0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Galaxy S9’s Super Slow-mo feature was designed to allow users to capture, in stunning detail, the epic, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that occur in everyday life.</p>
<p>Super Slow-mo increases the camera’s shutter speed to a blistering 960 fps (frames per second), and is capable of recording video that’s four times slower than any other slow-motion mobile technology. Once they’ve recorded their Super Slow-mo clip, users may choose to save it as a GIF, customize it with a favorite tune, or display it as a wallpaper for their home or lock screen.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>3. A Low Light Camera That Imitates the Eye</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F6yq6kgOUgQ" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Combining an F2.4 aperture lens with an F1.5, the brightest currently available on a smartphone, the Galaxy S9’s advanced Dual Aperture camera adapts to its environment to allow users to snap stunning shots in any light.</p>
<p>Just like the human eye, the camera automatically adjusts to lighting conditions to allow just the right amount of light to reach the lens. So whether users are enjoying a sunny day at the beach or a birthday dinner with friends, they can rest assured that their images will be crisp and clear.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>4. Express Yourself with AR Emoji</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3Hla9LsYfrg" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Galaxy S9’s new AR Emoji feature allows users to create their own realistic or cartoon-like emojis using the device‘s facial recognition technology. From a single selfie, the device analyzes a 2D image of you by mapping more than 100 distinct facial features, and then applies that image to a 3D model to generate an avatar that looks just like you and can imitate your facial expressions.</p>
<p>AR Emoji are fully customizable, can easily be shared with others and also used as a wallpaper for the user’s home or lock screen.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>5. Instant Insight into Your Surroundings</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eY_XbkU74eo" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Samsung’s intelligence platform, Bixby, is deeply integrated into the Galaxy S9’s camera, and utilizes augmented reality and deep learning technologies to provide users with a wide range of helpful, real-time information about the world around them.</p>
<p>When the user points their camera at an object, Bixby recognizes what it’s looking at and instantly presents information related to that object overlaid on top of the image. This means that, for instance, a user on a business trip abroad would be able to utilize the Live Translation function under Bixby’s Text mode to instantly translate a menu or sign written in a foreign language, or even foreign currency, in real-time.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>6. Snap Standout Shots with Dual Camera</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QOHcORMfe0Q" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Galaxy S9+’s best-in-class Dual Camera features a pair of 12MP cameras – an F1.5 wide-angle lens with Super Speed Dual Pixel image sensor, and an F2.4 telephoto lens – as well as dual optical image stabilization (OIS) to ensure that photos are crystal clear even when the user has a shaky hand.</p>
<p>The camera’s Live Focus and Background Blur features offer users more creative control over their photos. The former allows them to adjust the depth of field at any point in the photo-taking process, while the latter lets users play with the focus of their photo’s background by applying shapes such as hearts, stars and more.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong> </strong></span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>7. Stereo Speakers Provide Premium Sound</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xAc6MRWrDBA" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Because our smartphones are often our go-to platform for entertainment, Samsung has complemented the Galaxy S9’s immersive Infinity Display with an equally engrossing sound system.</p>
<p>To make it easy for users to immerse themselves in their content, Samsung placed powerful, AKG-tuned stereo speakers into the bottom and earpiece of the device that produce rich, balanced sound, no matter the volume. The Galaxy S9 also features a Dolby Atmos effect, which carefully analyzes key variables in content’s audio to give users the sensation that they’re experiencing 360-degree surround sound.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>8. Enhanced Biometric Authentication</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v6efJBJ5m1A" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Galaxy S9’s Intelligent Scan feature combines the collective strength of Samsung’s iris scanning, facial recognition and intelligent technologies to create a seamless authentication solution that offers users secure access to their device in virtually any environment.</p>
<p>In addition, the phone’s fingerprint scanner, which is now conveniently located beneath the camera on the back of the device, supports a new Dedicated Fingerprint function, which allows users to designate a fingerprint to provide instant access to their Secure Folder.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>9. Built for Mobile Lifestyles</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wfrPgkSDBYI" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>In addition to allowing users to enjoy a full-screen desktop experience powered by their mobile device, the Samsung DeX software platform now allows users to transform their Galaxy S9’s Infinity Display into a Touch Keyboard and Touch Pad using the new DeX Pad.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Samsung first launched the Galaxy Note in 2011, it was the first-of-its-kind large-screen device that enabled users to do things they never thought possible with a smartphone. Since then, a community of loyal enthusiasts has emerged through their affinity for the Note’s signature expansive display and versatile S Pen.</p>
<p>Helping users do bigger things, the new Galaxy Note8 features a refined design, an enhanced S Pen, a best-in-class dual camera, and innovative entertainment and productivity capabilities. It’s more than just a smartphone—it’s a device that works the way we live, and empowers us to make things happen.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>The S Pen – A New Way to Communicate</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1WteBw85oD4" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>With a finer tip, improved pressure sensitivity and new features, the enhanced S Pen of the Galaxy Note8 unlocks entirely new ways to write, draw and interact with the phone and communicate with friends.</p>
<p>A new Live Message feature enables users to create and share customized animated GIFs to better express themselves, while the Screen off memo lets them write up to 100 pages of editable reminders and notes directly on the Galaxy Note8’s off screen. Users can also utilize the improved Translate feature to translate words and sentences* as well as convert units and currencies by simply hovering the S Pen over selected text.</p>
<p>Preloaded with the PENUP app, the Galaxy Note8 empowers users to unleash their creativity via a new 200-page digital coloring book.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Moments Up Close and Clear with the Dual Camera</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IyPuHBMNL-w" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Taking Samsung’s best-in-class camera technology to the next level, the Galaxy Note8 boasts two 12MP rear cameras – one F1.7 wide-angle lens with Dual Pixel technology and one F2.4 telephoto lens – that both utilize Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).</p>
<p>With 2X optical and up to 10X digital zooming capabilities, images are crisp and clear, even when photographing subjects at a far distance. Furthermore, the wide-angle lens has a Dual Pixel sensor with rapid auto-focus, so users can also capture sharper and brighter shots, even in low-light environments.</p>
<p>For added creative control, the new Live Focus feature lets users adjust the intensity of the background blur of an image before and after the photo is taken. In Dual Capture mode, both cameras work simultaneously to capture two separate images – one close-up shot from the telephoto lens and one wide-angle shot that shows the entire background.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Note8 is also equipped with an industry-leading F1.7 8MP autofocus front-facing camera for the sharpest selfies and video chats.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>The Infinity Display – Do More, Play More</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s6kLGBqE6QI" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The expanded screen space enabled by the Galaxy Note8’s Infinity Display offers users refined multitasking features and enhanced entertainment capabilities.</p>
<p>With more screen real estate and an aspect ratio of 18.5:9, users can enjoy a more immersive viewing experience when watching their favorite TV show or playing games. Additionally, the phone’s MOBILE HDR PREMIUM<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> certification enables them to see content in the way filmmakers intended.</p>
<p>The phone’s maximized screen space also makes multitasking more efficient. Features like Multi Window help to improve productivity by allowing users to complete multiple tasks at once. And with the Galaxy Note8’s new <strong>App Pair</strong> feature, users can now create a custom pair of apps on the Edge panel and launch them at the same time with a single tap.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Designed to Do Bigger Things</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Yvf4dTXS4Jo" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Galaxy Note8 builds on Samsung’s design heritage with a 6.3-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display, a bezel-less, dual-edge display that takes up more than 83 percent of the phone’s front screen.</p>
<p>With a slim bezel and a slightly more squared design than the Infinity Display of the Galaxy S8, the Galaxy Note8’s display boasts more surface area for writing and drawing with the S Pen. Nevertheless, its unique design and slim silhouette make it comfortable to hold in one hand.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Note8 will be available in four stunning colors: Midnight Black, Orchid Gray, Maple Gold and the all-new Deepsea Blue. It will also be launched with a collection of uniquely designed accessories that include a mélange of chic yet functional covers crafted from premium, textured materials.</p>

<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6wnYUhOTQUw" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>In line with Samsung’s commitment to help people get more out of their lives in meaningful ways, the Galaxy Note8 is connected to an ecosystem of software and services.</p>
<p>Samsung DeX, for example, lets users securely use their smartphone like a desktop by simply docking their Galaxy Note8 in the DeX Station – with or without a phone cover.** A new All Apps user interface which provides an overview of up to 36 apps, optimized email and video conferencing capabilities, and expanded support for more mobile games and video streaming services bring a new level of functionality and fun to the Samsung DeX experience.</p>
<p>Likewise, Samsung’s intelligent interface Bixby helps users interact with their devices, Bixby’s voice capabilities have expanded to more than 200 countries and territories worldwide, allowing millions of consumers to experience a smarter way to interact with their phones.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Providing users with an unconfined mobile experience, the new Galaxy S8 and S8+ feature a refined, ‘unboxed’ design, enhanced security with new biometric technologies, robust entertainment capabilities and an intelligent new interface to enhance the way people interact with their phone.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Refined Design</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tGNrlYKltgY" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Galaxy S8 builds on Samsung’s design heritage with a large Infinity Display, a bezel-less, dual-edge display that takes up more than 80 percent of the phone’s front screen. Visually obtrusive elements are minimal, resulting in more tangible screen space. An invisible Home button embedded underneath the screen functions just like a physical button while Recent and Back buttons are now customizable soft keys.</p>
<p>The Galaxy S8’s subtle curvature flows from the front of the device to the back to create a more ergonomic grip ideal for one-handed operation. The phone’s camera, fingerprint scanner and heart rate sensor have been incorporated on the back of the device in a way that minimizes protrusions, ensuring a sleek aesthetic at any angle.</p>
<p>Available in five colors including Midnight Black, the all-new Orchid Gray, Coral Blue, Arctic Silver, and Maple Gold, the Galaxy S8 is enhanced by a rich color palette.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>One Unified Experience</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QcsCP3ypIZA" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Designed around the Infinity Display, the UX of the Galaxy S8 was developed to add convenience and enhance the flow of user interactions. Like the display itself, the UX is seamless, unifying visual and audio components to create one continuous experience.</p>
<p>The default wallpaper of the customizable Always On Display complements the color of the phone, while its aesthetic transitions smoothly to the Lock and Home screens. Meanwhile, a new vertical swiping interface provides seamless navigation between the Home and App screens.</p>
<p>Even the phone’s app icons and typography incorporate the Galaxy S8’s design language through a play of continuous curves and lines. Its brand sound “Over the Horizon” and ringtones have also been updated to better harmonize with the design of the device.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>See More, Scroll Less</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D2KAsRH56yo" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The stunning Infinity Display of the Galaxy S8 is 18 percent larger than the display of the Galaxy S7, making for a noticeably more immersive viewing experience.</p>
<p>When watched in landscape mode, 21:9 movies fill the Galaxy S8’s 18.5:9 display, while the black bars above and below the picture are minimized, increasing the viewing area by 36 percent, compared to the Galaxy S7. This, along with the phone’s High Dynamic Range (HDR) Premium capabilities, enables users to see content exactly as the creator intended. Gaming experiences, too, are enhanced, as any game that supports 18.5:9 full screen mode is automatically optimized to fill up the entire screen.</p>
<p>The Infinity Display also makes it easier to see and do more from a single screen without having to scroll as often. Optimized for multi-window usability, multitasking is made easy, even when using the phone’s full keyboard. The Galaxy S8’s new Snap Window feature enhances productivity by allowing users to pin a specific area from a recent app to the top of the screen, and continue using the area below it.</p>
<p>In addition, the Infinity Display is protected with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 which is impervious against scratches and external impacts.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Great Photos, In a Snap</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XTWLXF5t7vY" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Galaxy S8 builds on the Galaxy foundation with its advanced camera, which offers multi-frame image processing. With this technology, the camera takes multiple photos in rapid succession instead of just one, then selects the clearest image and uses the others to reduce the blur. This enhanced image processing ensures that shots taken when the subject is moving, in low light or when zoomed in are clear and vibrant.</p>
<p>The dual-pixel sensor technology, wide aperture and fast autofocus of the 12MP F1.7 rear camera work together to create beautiful photographs even in low-light conditions. The 8MP F1.7 front camera has been equipped with enhanced autofocus features and facial recognition technology that can recognize and track faces to provide clear, focused selfies, regardless of the distance between the user and the camera.</p>
<p>With an easy-to-use filter setting, users can enhance their photos by selecting from a variety of filters, including Auto Filter, which automatically selects one optimized for their photo. Animated stickers and stamps can also now be applied to images when taking photos, right from the native camera app. The camera’s UX has also been optimized for one-handed operation.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>A New Way to Interact</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wuOpkOsOXQU" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Although Bixby, Samsung’s new intelligent interface, is continuously being developed, it was created to enhance the way people interact with their Galaxy S8.  The intuitive and comprehensive interface leverages contextual awareness to learn users’ habits and provide related information, and is easily activated with a press of its dedicated hardware button or by saying “Bixby.”</p>
<p>With its multimodal functionality, its Voice feature lets users control multiple apps simultaneously using voice and touch commands interchangeably. Bixby has the ability to control all settings and features of each service without affecting other tasks users might be working on.</p>
<p>Its Vision interface can detect what users are looking for and respond accordingly, making it easier to search for images similar to ones selected by the user, shop online, get information about landmarks, decode QR codes and even translate foreign text through the phone’s Camera. Bixby also ensures that users remember important events through its intelligent Reminder feature. All of Bixby’s features can be accessed through its Home screen, which displays a user’s most contextually relevant apps on a single screen.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Seamless Transition from the Smartphone to the PC</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GEPegrUMXaA" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Samsung DeX is a new service that lets users use their Galaxy S8 as they would a desktop by providing a seamless, secure mobile-to-PC transition. With DeX, users can conveniently access apps, browse the web, send messages and more directly from their phone on a larger display without having to carry multiple devices or transfer data.</p>
<p>DeX supports keyboard and mouse gestures, thus providing the effortless usability of a PC. Furthermore, with the ability to quickly shift between windows and adjust window size with ease, users can multitask more efficiently.</p>
<p>Samsung DeX helps to maximize productivity with intuitive applications such as Samsung Browser, MyFiles, Gallery and Samsung e-mail. DeX is also compatible with the Microsoft Office and Adobe mobile app suite, which allows complete desktop-like functionality previously unavailable from a mobile device. In addition, beginning in the first half of 2017, customers will be able to use VDI to remotely use Windows OS as they would on a desktop.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>All Eyes on Security</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p3_OiBzv6LM" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Galaxy S8 provides strengthened security features through the integration of Samsung’s trusted Knox security platform and a combination of new and enhanced biometric technologies.</p>
<p>The Galaxy S8’s highly secure iris scanner is fast, accurate and touch-free, making user verification easier than ever. Adding to the device’s security features are Samsung’s familiar fingerprint scanning and new facial recognition capabilities.</p>
<p>The Galaxy S8 also provides various security services including Secure Folder, an encrypted folder that keeps private information separate and safe with an added layer of security, and Samsung Pass, which lets users easily log into mobile banking apps and websites on the Samsung Internet Browser using biometric authentication.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>A Control Center for the Smart Home</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/890M6nLhmbU" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Pre-loaded on the Galaxy S8, Samsung Connect lets users manage and monitor the smart devices in their home from one unified app.</p>
<p>Users can connect their Samsung Connect-compatible IoT device to their smartphone through the Samsung Connect app. They can then set individual modes with different rules for each device. “Good Morning Mode,” for example, might turn on the lights and play music while “Going Out Mode” might turn off the air conditioner and start the robot vacuum cleaner.</p>
<p>Through its key features including easy setup, automatic connectivity and customization, Samsung Connect provides users with a more integrated approach to the smart home. Currently compatible with select 2017 Samsung IoT-enabled devices, Samsung Connect will support third-party devices with the SmartThings hub in the future.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/FamilyHub_HandsOn_Main_1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-77981" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/FamilyHub_HandsOn_Main_1.jpg" alt="FamilyHub_HandsOn_Main_1" width="705" height="470" /></a></p>
<p>Featuring a large touchscreen display and a comprehensive suite of intuitive apps, Samsung’s Family Hub refrigerator brings the timeless art of cooking well and truly into the twenty-first century.</p>
<p>The latest edition, designed for European consumers, allows more people to take control of their kitchen, with tools to streamline not only cooking but also food management, communication and even entertainment. Transforming how European families use their most important appliance, and helping them eat, and live, smarter.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>More Flavors</strong></span></h3>
<p>Cooking a delicious meal doesn’t have to be a chore. Apps like Allrecipes, as well as localized apps like Whisk and CHEFKOCH.DE, offer users the blueprints to craft some of the world’s tastiest foods from the comfort of their kitchen.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QQ4JigCZauE" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Some of the world’s greatest dishes are staples of European cuisine, and some of its greatest chefs are members of Samsung’s Club des Chefs. Family Hub’s Club des Chefs app offers users unbridled access to the masters’ wealth of culinary expertise, with recipes, detailed “How to” articles and accompanying video walkthroughs. So users can watch and learn, and enjoy great food.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FgIvWlLOmUg" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>More Insight</strong></span></h3>
<p>Family Hub was designed to not only help families prepare delicious meals, but to also give them more insight into the freshness of their food.</p>
<p>With Family Hub’s three inner-view cameras, users can peek into the inside of their refrigerator without opening the door, and even when they’re not in the kitchen. That camera functionality, along with Family Hub’s dedicated smartphone app, allows users to shop smarter by staying on top of their refrigerator’s contents when they’re at the store. Providing the intel to help them stop forgetting the milk once and for all.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t5RDjMeCpA4" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>More Communication</strong></span></h3>
<p>East to west, Austria to Zanzibar, one thing that’s truly universal is the value of family. Family Hub’s collaborative notetaking, photo and calendar functions allow it to serve as a touchpoint for families to share and keep in touch conveniently. Got an event? Add it to the family calendar. Got something to say? That’s what the Whiteboard and Sticki app are for.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uLFlZ2d2pC0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>More Fun</strong></span></h3>
<p>Family Hub’s suite of entertainment functions offers users the ability to add a soundtrack to their sautéing. With Tune-in, they can listen to their favorite radio station, enjoy personal playlists and access a catalog of over 10,000 music, sport and talk channels from around the world.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kse0D0WPvng" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>When it comes to football, Europe is in a league of its own. And with Family Hub’s TV mirroring function, users can quickly and easily keep an eye on the big match, or their favorite TV programs, while they cook.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung’s Gear S collection is now complete with the addition of the new Gear S3. Merging the worlds of analog watch-making and mobile innovation, the device is one that boasts a traditional, premium design, standalone connectivity, life proof features and an expanded ecosystem.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-S-gn8hGmO4" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">A Real Watch Design</span></h3>
<p>Both versions of Samsung’s newest smartwatch—the <strong>Gear S3 frontier</strong>, a well-built wearable that can withstand tough conditions, and the <strong>Gear S3 classic</strong>, a luxurious yet minimal timepiece—were designed to emulate the look and feel of a traditional premium watch down to the smallest details.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j_PFUGWg04s" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Following the trends of the latest watch designs, most prominent in the enhancements of the Gear S3 are the physical dimensions of the watch itself.</p>
<p>The bezel, buttons and overall hardware of the Gear S3 were accentuated to give the device a sturdier, more refined look, and to ensure that its functions and features are easier to access and control.</p>
<p>In addition to a new fit that allows for maximized comfort, everything from the angle and slope of the screen, slight elevations around the face and the way the bezel feels when turned have been fine-tuned. The knurling process (how watchmakers texturize the bezel, crowns and buttons to make the device more tactile and rugged) was also perfected. Even the Gear S3’s material—stainless steel 316L—adds to the device’s analog aesthetic.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-77676" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_1.jpg" alt="GearS3_HandsOn_Main_1" width="705" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>The rounded sharp edges of the case and the sunray brush finish on the bezel illustrate the attention to detail and quality put into the form of the device. Extra care was taken in designing the crown of the watch to realize the ideal of a traditional timepiece.</p>
<p>Likewise, the Gear S3’s 16 million colors full-color Always On Display function gives the smartwatch a more traditional look, allowing for more realistic watch faces, dials and hands, including the new active second hand. Samsung also integrated standard 22 millimeter bands, so users can interchange them to personalize the Gear S3 to their liking.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aY3Xy-pXVSY" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>But not all of the design enhancements were made strictly for aesthetic purposes. The bezel, for example, was improved to allow for better control of the Gear S3. Users can now quickly respond to calls or alarms with a simple twist, or rotate the bezel to set simple voice reminders.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2f0HheO7UTU" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Standalone Freedom</span></h3>
<p>While the Gear S3 is the perfect partner for the Galaxy S7 or Galaxy Note7, its ability to function as a standalone device makes it even more powerful.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-77677" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_2.jpg" alt="GearS3_HandsOn_Main_2" width="705" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>The Gear S2 helped paved the way for smartwatches to have standalone 3G connectivity, but the Gear S3 now supports LTE. Along with a built-in speaker and microphone, the smartwatch makes placing calls easy, and possible right from the wrist. And, whether users call from their smartphone or Gear S3, the receiver will see the same number, eliminating confusion on the other end of the line.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4Hvu63ZD9_g" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The Gear S3 also houses various sensors that work together to enhance users’ lifestyles. Included among them is the built-in GPS, which doesn’t require a phone to function. An altimeter, barometer and speedometer make the Gear S3 the ideal companion for those who enjoy the great outdoors or leisure activities.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-77678" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_3.jpg" alt="GearS3_HandsOn_Main_3" width="705" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>With these features, users can measure the altitude on a mountain hike, predict changes in the weather, check out how fast they’re cycling down a hill, or even send a notification to family members with their exact location.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r2sXbVjrEck" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>In addition, Gear S3 users can also take advantage of the device’s connectivity to stream music from apps like Spotify. Or, they can simply enjoy their own playlists, thanks to the device’s standalone music player.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-77679" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_4.jpg" alt="GearS3_HandsOn_Main_4" width="705" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Enhanced fitness features on the S Health app let users track a wider variety of activities on the Gear S3, such as workouts on a rowing machine or elliptical trainer. Social features like the 1:1 Steps challenge and Steps leaderboard add a fun, competitive element.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HL8S3Gkv5rY" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Other new features function to make the little things in life more convenient. <strong>Reminders</strong> lets users keep track of small tasks and to-dos such as picking up the dry cleaning by recording a simple voice input and setting the reminder time via the bezel.</p>
<p>Users can also download Samsung-recommended apps and watch faces* directly from the Gear S3 via a Wi-Fi or LTE connection, meaning they can now personalize their device faster, easier and without a smartphone connection.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Hwx7I__dJeg" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">On the Safe Side</span></h3>
<p>To ensure that users remain out of harm’s way while taking advantage of all the features of the Gear S3, Samsung made sure to life proof the device to the max.</p>
<p>Because users wear it on their wrist, the Gear S3 can help them in emergencies more efficiently than a smartphone, which is usually in a bag or pocket when a crisis situation arises. When activated, a triple tap on the home key immediately sends a clear SOS call to the user’s contact of choice—either a friend or one of Samsung’s security partners such as ADT (US) or S1 (Korea). Location tracking then enables responders to locate the user’s position in real time via the Glympse solution.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-KmZjejn5oc" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>Such security functions, paired with the Gear S3’s durability features, help to protect users no matter where they are—whether in the middle of a city, or the middle of the ocean. That’s because the Gear S3 is IP68 certified, meaning it is water and dust resistant. Furthermore, the display of the Gear S3 is made of Gorilla Glass SP+ to provide ultimate scratch resistance, not to mention a sharper, clearer screen.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AePZDkZVVXQ" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>A larger, longer-lasting battery (380mAh), which has a typical usage of three to four days, ensures that the Gear S3 is working when users need it to. And, when it does need a battery boost, a 15-minute charge in its cradle amounts to around ten hours of wear time. Even in the most extreme case, the device will work as a digital watch for up to ten hours with less than five percent battery life when the Power off Watch is activated.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_5_1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-77680" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/GearS3_HandsOn_Main_5_1.jpg" alt="GearS3_HandsOn_Main_5_1" width="705" height="500" /></a></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">An Expanded Ecosystem</span></h3>
<p>With an improved battery life, users can now do even more with the Gear S3, like make a contactless payment.</p>
<p>Samsung Pay has been greatly improved with the Gear S3, as now, both NFC and MST technology are embedded into the device. This means that anywhere a credit card is accepted, the Gear S3 can be used, too, so users can leave their wallets behind when out for a jog or a coffee break.</p>
<p>In addition to Samsung Pay, more than 10,000 apps are now compatible with the Gear S3 and its Tizen operating system. From utilizing IoT services to car sharing to music streaming, users can do more than ever, right from their wrist.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Good for Business</strong></span></h3>
<p>With so many useful and convenient features, the Gear S3 is also an ideal device for the work environment, especially for jobs that require hands-free work, such as airport task management or handling real-time inventory.</p>
<p>Should an enterprise want to utilize the Gear S3 as a device in the workplace, they can do so safely and securely, as all messages and communication are protected by Samsung’s KNOX security platform.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Samsung first launched the Galaxy Note in 2011, there was nothing else like it on the market. It was the first-of-its-kind large-screen device that enabled users to do things they never thought possible on a smartphone. As we evolved over the years, so did the Note.</p>
<p>Helping you get more out of life, the new Galaxy Note7 features refined craftsmanship, an enhanced S Pen, top-of-the-line security and innovative entertainment capabilities. It’s more than just a smartphone—it’s a tool that works the way we live, and gives us the freedom to live the way we choose.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_1_F.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76280" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_1_F.jpg" alt="GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_1_F" width="705" height="500" /></a></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Redefined Design</strong></span></h3>
<p>With the Galaxy Note7, Samsung combined innovation and technology with a more user-focused approach to provide unsurpassed comfort and convenience. The device’s perfectly symmetrical front-to-back 3D curves create a balanced aesthetic, while its compact size allows for a more comfortable, ergonomic grip.</p>
<p>Despite its narrow width, the Galaxy Note7 boasts a large, dual-edge 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a subtle front bezel, allowing a highly immersive viewing (and writing) experience.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Note7 has a sleek design, which is complemented by four stunning color options: Black Onyx, Silver Titanium, Gold Platinum and the new Blue Coral.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/177iXd3QaCY" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>While the physical appearance of the device contributes a lot to the overall look and feel, the software on the device is also an important element of the user experience. With this in mind, Samsung softened the colors of the user interface and made the icons uniformly rounded to make it easier on the eyes. Interactive Motion Wallpaper, which comes to life as you tilt your device, further enhances the user experience.</p>
<p>Finally, the simplified camera UX is more seamless and clean, and makes capturing important moments easier than ever.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_2_F.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76277" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_2_F.jpg" alt="GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_2_F" width="705" height="500" /></a></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">The All-Powerful S Pen</span></h3>
<p>More than just a writing tool, the enhanced Galaxy Note7 S Pen boasts a sharper pen tip and increased pressure sensitivity to replicate the ease and accuracy of a real pen. These changes allow for a more delicate expression and more natural handwriting.</p>
<p>With IP68 certification, both the Galaxy Note7 body and S Pen are dust and water resistant. In fact, the S Pen isn’t just safe in water—it actually works under water.*</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_Gi3K-SMiy8" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>A wide array of Air Command tools has been added to provide enhanced usability. <strong>Translate</strong> lets users hover over a word or an image of a word to get a translation on the spot while <strong>Magnify </strong>enlarges small text and images, even on websites where zooming is not possible. Smart Select has also been improved to let users create, save and share their own <strong>Animated GIF</strong>s.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uJcXWhjNJho" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>With more creation tools like the Watercolor, Oil and Calligraphy brushes, the new S Pen lets users unleash their creativity to better express themselves. And now you can easily erase a sketch by simply holding down the side button.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VsYLM0OWzNk" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>In addition to these new features, Samsung streamlined its software to replace different Note-related applications with a single app called <strong>Samsung Notes</strong>. Now, all of your S Pen creations live in one location so you can easily access and quickly edit content.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_3_F.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76278" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_3_F.jpg" alt="GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_3_F" width="705" height="750" /></a></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>An Always On Display for an Always On World</strong></span></h3>
<p>With the new <strong>Screen off memo on Always On Display</strong>, users can create shopping and to-do lists just as easily as they would with a sticky note. After the user jots down a memo, it remains visible on the Always On Display for a set amount of time to remind users of important events.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Note7’s Always On Display screen also displays important information and notifications—including those from third-party apps and the media player. Users can double tap the notification to automatically launch the corresponding app, saving them valuable time.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YqZ7g-0hwqY " width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>With the advanced Always On Display, the Galaxy Note7 stands out even when the screen is off. Users can now further customize the display with new clock modes, preset designs or even their own image.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_4_F.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76279" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_4_F.jpg" alt="GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_4_F" width="705" height="750" /></a></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Security Beyond Convenience</strong></span></h3>
<p>In line with Samsung’s continued commitment to protect users’ personal information, the Galaxy Note7 provides the ultimate level of privacy and security by integrating its trusted Samsung Knox platform with secure biometric authentication including fingerprint scanning, as well as its new iris scanning feature.</p>
<p>Given that an individual’s iris cannot be cloned or forged, this authentication method ensures that bank statements and confidential files can be stored securely. Furthermore, the iris scanner is fast, accurate and touch-free, making user verification easier than ever.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Note7 offers additional security features including Secure Folder, a single, encrypted folder that keeps your private and personal information separate and safe with an added layer of security. Secure Folder can be unlocked using a PIN number, the fingerprint scanner or the iris scanner, and can be hidden from others.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sEUf_ke4J_o" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>A Front-Row Seat to Top-Notch Entertainment</strong></span></h3>
<p>The Galaxy Note7 is the first Samsung smartphone to offer High Dynamic Range (HDR) video streaming capability for a richer, more realistic video streaming experience.</p>
<p>With true-to-life colors and shades, this extraordinary technology provides the highest video quality in the industry. Combined with the Galaxy Note7’s large, Super AMOLED display, the device offers an unrivalled mobile entertainment experience.</p>
<p>In addition to video content, the Galaxy Note7 provides best-in-class gaming, as it supports Vulkan, an API that gives developers an unprecedented tool to create, and gamers an unmatched mobile experience.</p>
<p>Along with the Galaxy Note7, Samsung’s Gear VR headset has also been enhanced. A refined design makes it more ergonomic and comfortable, while bigger lenses equate to a more immersive experience. An additional port enables connectivity with third-party USB devices, while compatibility with Samsung smartphones with either USB Type-C or micro USB ports means that more people can enjoy VR.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76374" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_5.jpg" alt="GalaxyNote7_Feature_HandsOn_Main_5" width="705" height="397" /></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Built on the Galaxy Foundation</strong></span></h3>
<p>As an extension of the Galaxy 7 family, the Galaxy Note7 continues to support the features Galaxy users have come to know and love, such as the <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/water-and-dust-protection-in-a-streamlined-form-the-ip68-feature-of-the-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge" target="_blank">dust and water resistance</a> and <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-elevates-mobile-phone-picture-quality-with-dual-pixel-technology-in-its-newest-image-sensor" target="_blank">Dual Pixel</a> camera technology.</p>
<p>Compared to the previous Note, the Galaxy Note7’s CPU is about 30 percent more powerful, while its GPU provides 50 percent more power. Furthermore, its internal memory has doubled in size to 64GB.</p>
<p>Expandable storage that supports a microSD card up to 256GB means that you can access all of your favorite music, photos and videos at any time. And, with an extended battery life and easy power management with the new Smart Manager UX, you can access and enjoy this content longer than before.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sYcLbG-A8jw " width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>In the case that you do need a charge, fast wireless charging gets the job done quickly. You can also plug in your new Type-C USB cable to bring your battery back to life. The port is symmetrical, so users do not need to worry about plugging it in upside down.</p>
<p>For on-the-go charging, the new Backpack, which is Samsung’s wireless charging battery case, is now water resistant for optimized functionality. Another new accessory created to enhance the Galaxy Note7’s entertainment capabilities is the S View Standing Cover. When opened, this light and portable cover can be used to prop up the smartphone at a 60-degree angle —an optimized angle for watching videos.</p>
<p>Delivering new features, functions and usability, the Galaxy Note7 isn’t just a big smartphone. It’s a smartphone that thinks big, and helps you live big, too.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Note7 will be available starting on August 19 and preorders will begin in most countries in a matter of days. The countdown starts now!</p>

<p>The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge have been certified with an IP68 rating, the premium standard of protection against water and dust. For people who live life on the go—working, traveling and playing in all sorts of locations and environments—this advancement is most welcomed, letting them enjoy the sleek, advanced design of Samsung’s latest flagship smartphones, without the inconvenience of a bulky additional case.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aw0OZ7wZm6U" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">What the IP68 Standard Means</span></h3>
<p>The International Electrotechnical Commission measures the degree of protection provided by enclosures, or “IP code.” IP68 means that a device must be completely dust tight, and protected against water to a maximum of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.</p>
<p>For the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, now the entire device is completely water and dust resistant, even the open connection slots, like for the charger and headphones. Previous Galaxy devices required a cap to cover the USB slot, battery cover and other openings, to shield them from water and dust. But that additional cover caused some complaints from consumers about the added bulk and the inconvenience of attaching and detaching the cover when charging and transfering data.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">New Materials to Protect Openings and Parts</span></h3>
<p>Samsung took that feedback to heart when creating the new Galaxy flagship smartphones. It changed the materials used on the external connections, like the headphone jack and UBS charging terminal, switching to anticorrosive materials like nickel and platinum.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85811" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_Feature_IP68_Main_2.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="471" /></p>
<p>To get a cap-less design, the new Galaxy models also used a new type of water resistance technology developed by Samsung that prevents gaps between the product and the case, eliminating the need for a protective cover. The result was a phone with slimmer design, with integrated batteries to further improve performance and efficiency.</p>
<p>The latest Galaxy models are completely watertight in the level of IP68, protecting not only the exposed exterior but the entire structure of the smartphone. For instance, rubber is now used for attaching individual parts, including the USB charging terminal, earphone jack, and SIM card tray, to prevent water from entering the device.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85812" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_Feature_IP68_Main_3.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="350" /></p>
<p>The power cable connector was designed with extra care, as water leakage there could cause a short circuit when connected to the USB terminal, but the new devices now use a mechanism to identify this dangerous situation and cut off the power.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85813" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_Feature_IP68_Main_4.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="374" /></p>
<p>An exclusive type of water protective tape has been applied to the front and rear glass and other parts of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, while the use of anticorrosive materials and a corrosion-preventing coating for exposed parts on the exterior ensure these Galaxy smartphones are completely protected from water.</p>
<p>The microphone needs to be able to receive sound clearly, so it is protected with portable electronics vents, which allows for a good flow of air and the outflow of humidity to prevent moisture from entering the device.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Improving Processes to Get Certification</span></h3>
<p>Even with all of those advancements in the latest Galaxy models, getting the demanding IP68 certification required improved process controls, including for the management of individual parts, the systemization of the assembly process and thorough quality control.</p>
<p>Finally, due to those many advances, improvements and changes made throughout the development process, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge received IP68 certification. It required relentless efforts from Samsung to make the innovations necessary to earn that rating, but the benefits of having devices well protected from dust and water made it all worthwhile.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85798" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_Feature_Game_Main_1.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="470" /></p>
<p>As smartphones grow ever more integrated into our lives, people expect to be able to use their phones for a wider variety of activities and experiences, such as playing games. And, as the performance of mobile devices continues to improve, more and more users are able to do so like never before.</p>
<p>The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, however, take mobile gaming to an entirely new level. With their optimized hardware, enhanced UX and Vulkan API, these smartphones have finally become full-fledged gaming machines, able to handle the toughest of specs. And with the new Game Launcher app, people now have the ability to simultaneously take control of their phones and maximize the gaming experience.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Optimized for Better Performance</span></h3>
<p>With a more than 30 percent faster CPU speed,  a more than 60 percent faster GPU speed and 4GB of RAM, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have the power needed to satisfy the most demanding players, in the most intense games. With a very thin thermal spreader cooling system, these phones can run fast and cool.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85801" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_Feature_Game_Main_4.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="414" /></p>
<p>The result is smoother graphics and longer playing times, as the entire phone is optimized to maximize the gaming experience. And now that these new Galaxy devices both have bigger batteries—3,000 mAh for the Galaxy S7 and 3,600 mAh for the Galaxy S7 edge—users have the power to keep on playing for longer than ever.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dnzQP8MJTCk" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Game Launcher is a Game Changer</span></h3>
<p>With the unveiling of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, Samsung is also launching a new, pre-loaded gaming app called Game Launcher. Equipped with a varied suite of tools, Game Launcher aims to make gaming even more fun and convenient on your mobile device.</p>
<p>Game Launcher allows you to maximize game-playing time through instant downloads, shortcuts and power-saving options. You can also turn off all your notifications while you’re playing to ensure you never get interrupted at a key point in the game. You can lock the Recent and Back keys, so you don’t accidently exit a game during a particularly frenetic part of the adventure. In addition, you can take screenshots, record your game, scores and rankings, and share them with your friends. With Game Launcher, the way you play will never be the same again.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85799" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_Feature_Game_Main_2.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="471" /></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85800" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_Feature_Game_Main_3.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="471" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Vulkan API Boosts Gaming Efficiency</span></h3>
<p>Samsung’s latest advances in graphics set a new industry standard, as well. That’s because the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are the first smartphones to utilize Vulkan: the next generation graphics API. With Vulkan’s focus on handling 3D graphics and games, it helps deliver higher performance while distributing the workload among multiple CPUs. In short, you can play all your favorite graphics-intensive games for even longer.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Games and Game Pads Put Users in Control</span></h3>
<p>To show its commitment to offering the very best and most dynamic mobile gaming experience, Samsung took things one step further by giving Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge owners access to the Galaxy Game Pack, an exclusive package offering unique and exclusive in-game benefits. Packed with loads of some of the world’s most loved games from companies such as EA, Blizzard, Gameloft and KABAM, the package is worth over $200 US in value. All benefits are available via Samsung’s Galaxy App Store.</p>
<p>Users can get the most out of these games with optional Game Pads such as the Micro C.T.R.L.r, a compact, Bluetooth-connected controller optimized for smartphones; S.U.R.F.r, which boasts true gamepad controls with features specific to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge; and Gamevice Controller, which allows for undetectable latency in gameplay due to its direct connection.</p>

<p>With the rise of virtual reality devices like the Gear VR, 360-degree video is becoming one of the hottest trends in digital content. Until now, 360-degree video cameras were bulky and expensive, out of reach for most consumers.</p>
<p>But what if that were no longer true? What if an easy-to-use camera were capable of shooting in an immersive 360 degrees? Such a device could utterly change the way people capture and share their memories.</p>
<p>With the unveiling of the Samsung Gear 360, shooting in 360 degrees is no longer a fantasy. It has become a reality that anyone can explore, and is the latest new experience in Samsung’s ecosystem of industry-leading products.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cd62Hwg9Vz4" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">360 Degrees in a Small Ball</span></h3>
<p>The Gear 360 is a simple and sleek looking ball, featuring dual fisheye lenses—195-degree field-of-view cameras on either side of an aerodynamic white sphere. Software then automatically combines those two images together, cutting together two 180-degree images and stitching them together at the points where they overlap, to create a 360-degree look at the world all around the camera.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85755" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Gear360_HandsOn_Main_81.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="470" /></p>
<p>Or, should users choose to do so, they can use a single camera to capture videos and pictures for a simpler 180-degree view of half of the world.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85750" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Gear360_HandsOn_Main_9.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="470" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">High Resolution Camera for High-Quality Images</span></h3>
<p>The Gear 360 camera comes in high definition, 3,840 pixels by 1,920 pixels, capable of capturing images of up to 30 megapixels. And the bright F2.0 lenses will help users to capture images even in low light conditions.</p>
<p>People can also use the Gear 360 to shoot in a variety of modes, including standard video, photos, time lapse videos or looping videos.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85751" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Gear360_HandsOn_Main_10.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="470" /></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85752" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Gear360_HandsOn_Main_11.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="470" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Seamlessly Connecting Your Videos</span></h3>
<p>What makes the Gear 360 really useful is how easily it can be synced to smartphones and other devices. When connected to a smartphone, users can preview their content in real time, while they film. Then, just as easily, that content can be saved to the smartphone or uploaded to social media channels or Google Street View.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85753" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Gear360_HandsOn_Main_12.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="235" /></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85754" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Gear360_HandsOn_Main_13.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="307" /></p>
<p>The Gear 360 is also ready for all sorts of connectivity options, including WiFi-Direct, Bluetooth, NFC and USB, to make sharing and transferring data incredible easy. A microSD slot makes the memory expandable to 128GB, too.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85746" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Gear360_HandsOn_Main_5.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="471" /></p>
<p>In addition, the Gear 360 is designed to be compatible with most accessories already on the market, including tripod attachments. It is also compatible with Galaxy devices that work with the Gear VR: Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+, S7 and S7 edge.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Changing How Memories Are Made with a Camera On-the-Go, Wherever You Go </span></h3>
<p>The Gear 360 is easy to carry for maximum portability—just 153 grams and 66.7×56.2×60 millimeters—making it convenient to use just about anywhere. And with IP53 certified dust and water resistance, consumers can feel comfortable using it in everyday life, even if there’s a chance it may get wet.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the shutter, settings and shooting modes can be operated directly from the Gear 360 with just a few simple clicks, so it is truly a device designed for the masses.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85748" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Gear360_HandsOn_Main_7.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="483" /></p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IUTV5i6MoLs" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>With the Gear 360, it’s now simple for anyone to shoot video and photos of stunning vistas, spectacular cityscapes and intimate gatherings, immersing viewers in any environment. It’s a small, easy-to-use device that empowers people to capture and share their lives like never before, expanding our horizons by putting our real lives into virtual reality. The evolution of VR is only just beginning, and thanks to Samsung’s Gear 360, now anyone can be at the forefront of this exciting new way of looking at the world.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85758" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_HandsOn_Main_1.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="471" /></p>
<p>Since the Galaxy S series of flagship smartphones was introduced in 2010, these devices have consistently led the way forward for mobile innovation, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Now the 5.1-inch Galaxy S7 and 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 edge once again have set new standards for the industry, in terms of design, technology and, most importantly, what they can do for consumers.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85759" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_HandsOn_Main_2.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="470" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Setting a New Standard in Style</span></h3>
<p>Following in the footsteps of the Galaxy S6 series, the Galaxy S7 phones are again seamless, elegant devices of metal and glass, now using a process known as 3D Thermoforming to shape the curved glass backing. Combined with a thinner bezel, the ergonomic curves of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge make for a more comfortable grip than ever, feeling completely natural in one hand. Even the tiny protrusion for the camera has been reduced to just 0.46 millimeters, so the phone is entirely streamlined.</p>
<p>Smartphones are an essential part of people’s lives, and now Samsung ensures that they will keep working even when faced with challenging environments. With a new water and dust resistant design, with an IP68 rating, the Galaxy S7 devices are guaranteed to function normally even when submerged more than a meter deep in water for up to 30 minutes.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r0epWiMGAkc" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>In addition, Samsung has added a hybrid SIM card slot, capable of being used with a single SIM card with microSD or a dual SIM, giving the Galaxy S7 expandability up to 200 gigabytes of memory. But despite that added slot, the Galaxy S7 is still dust and water resistant, even without an added slot cover.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WUokzhejk2E" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85766" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_HandsOn_Main_7.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="400" /></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">A UX Designed for People</span></h3>
<p>Galaxy S7 models are also stylish and seamless on the inside when it comes to the user experience (UX). Now running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the Galaxy S7 UX is as powerful as it is easy to use, with enhanced privacy and security functions and optimized controls and management for more efficient battery life. It also works with the ever-growing Galaxy ecosystem, like Samsung Pay, leading security solution Samsung KNOX, and wearables like the Gear S2 and Charm lifestyle band.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/shbjTXIFMjU" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>The new super AMOLED Always On Displays allow consumers to use their phones for longer and more conveniently than ever, without ever worrying about missing a call or important notification. With Always On, users can constantly see the date and time and get all their notifications, without having the turn on the display and use up valuable battery life. With a variety of attractive designs for the display — date and time, calendars or personalized — Always-On gives consumers a truly seamless experience.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85760" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GalaxyS7_HandsOn_Main_3.jpg" alt="" width="706" height="470" /></p>
<p>For the Galaxy S7 edge, with its dual curved sides, the Edge UX has also grown even more functional, with more personalization abilities. Apps edge, Tasks edge, People edge and third-party panels together provide incredibly convenient shortcuts so any consumer can quickly and easily get to the apps and contacts that they most need, with just the flick of a finger. The newly added Tasks edge has added additional shortcuts for important tasks, as well as tools like a ruler, compass and flashlight.</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fvC9URCqlJY" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>

<h3><span style="color: #000080">Sharp Images Even in Low Light: The Essence of a Camera</span></h3>
<p>To be a great camera, it needs to be able to capture the vitality of a moment, in sharp vivid detail and bright colors. Low-light photography in particular can be a challenge for many cameras, especially smartphone cameras. But with so many of the important events in our lives taking place in low-light conditions—like dining in nice restaurants with loved ones or going out at night with friends—this really is an essential task for cameras, so they can fully document our lives.</p>

<p>Galaxy S6 (left) vs Galaxy S7 (right)</p>
<p>With aperture F1.7 lens cameras on the front and rear, and larger pixels on the image sensor—increasing 56 percent from the Galaxy S6—the new Galaxy S7’s camera is able to capture brighter and sharper images, even in low-light conditions.</p>
<p>In addition, the Galaxy S7 has the first <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/setting-a-new-standard-in-mobile-photography-the-camera-of-the-galaxy-s7" target="_blank">Dual Pixel camera</a> sensor for smartphone, ensuring incredibly fast and accurate autofocus even in low light conditions. With Dual Pixel technology, every pixel is used for phase detection—as opposed to less than 1 percent of pixels for most smartphones cameras —and two photodiodes capture the light independently, making autofocus time more than twice as fast as the Galaxy S6.</p>
<p>The new camera also has several new features that can create new and fun experiences. For example, the Motion Panorama feature brings the ability to capture motion to traditional panoramic photos, creating a new kind of immersive experience. Hyperlapse makes it easy for anyone to create stunning time-lapse, tracking videos. And selfies are better and brighter now, thanks to features like Selfie Flash and Spotlight.</p>
