For Kelli Samuelson, carving new niches has become second nature.

Life has thrown her plenty of curveballs, but in overcoming them, Kelli has ventured into unchartered territory for female riders and set the stage for other barrier-breaking females.

An aspiring professional with dreams of competing at the top level of the sport, a hip injury found late in life has given her some serious setbacks. The injury required reconstructive surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation that put her dreams on hold.

Undaunted, however, she used her time away from the road to do something she truly believed in –finding a place for women in the traditionally male-dominated cycling world.

As the team owner of LA Sweat, the groundbreaking California-based women’s road cycling team, she says she knew right from the start that her quest to create a community for female bicycle enthusiasts would be fraught with challenges. After all, for so many, cycling clubs are very much a man’s world.

Yet she refused to be daunted by the scale of what she wanted to do. “I wanted to do it differently,” she explains. “Rather than waiting for someone else to fix it, I decided to do it myself.”

This was the thinking that spurred the creation of LA Sweat in 2015. Within a year of its establishment, the club’s roster already boasts Northern California’s 2015 Best-All-Around Rider and a two-time Mardis de Lachine winner, as well as scores more passionate female cyclists.

Kelli said “To me, breaking barriers means being who you are and not accepting the limits imposed on you by daring to defy anything that stands in the way of what you want to achieve! I refuse to be defined by a single label but rather choose the freedom of following whatever inspires my passion.”

She said technology enables her to go beyond boundaries because it allows her to capture and share what makes her feel limitless and can also inspire others to break through their own barriers, no matter who they are.

When asked what she especially liked about Galaxy S7, she said “When you spend your day on a bike, the world rolls by quite quickly. That’s why I am especially obsessed with the super-fast autofocus on the Galaxy S7’s camera. No matter my RPM, I know that it will capture me crossing the finish line in perfect clarity! Plus, it does the same even on late night rides.”

The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are devices designed with people like Kelli in mind, individuals for whom thinking outside of the box is a way of life. So, no matter what road you race down in life, Samsung enables you to capture every memory as clearly as the moment and empowers you to live life beyond barriers. As Kelli says, “Technology enables people to push past their boundaries and capture what makes them feel limitless! Personally, I love sharing my story with people everywhere so they can also be inspired to break through their own barriers, no matter what.”

Samsung Electronics today announced the launch of the Dual SIM edition of its recently launched flagship smartphone – Galaxy Note5 in India.

A true productivity enhancer, the Galaxy Note series has always stood for superior multitasking abilities and enhanced S-Pen capabilities. The Galaxy Note5 Dual SIM is the first device among Samsung flagship smartphones that allows customers the freedom to operate multiple mobile numbers on a device and potentially changes the landscape of the segment.

The Galaxy Note5 Dual SIM is the perfect companion for users who travel frequently as it offers the convenience of operating a secondary mobile number like an international SIM card along with their primary mobile number instead of carrying multiple phones. The device also benefits users who operate different mobile numbers for their personal and professional lives, typically corporates, by managing them separately but with the convenience of managing just one phone. The Galaxy Note5 Dual SIM, thus, truly becomes an ideal device for the multi-tasker carrying forward the Note ethos of “Doing More and Being More”. It gives users the freedom to choose what is important to them – operating different SIMs for data and voice to experience the best of both worlds.

Mr. Manu Sharma, Director, Mobile Business, Samsung India said, “Samsung has always focused on driving innovation based on valuable customer insights. The evolution of the Note series since its launch in 2011 has been attuned to the changing consumer needs and is carried forward in the Galaxy Note5 Dual SIM, which delivers superior productivity packaged in a stylish design. The Dual SIM edition of the Galaxy Note5 complements today’s consumers’ lifestyles by seamlessly balancing their personal and professional lives.”

The Galaxy Note5 is a stunning upgrade to Samsung’s flagship Galaxy Note line-up – more powerful and more personal than ever. The device flaunts an all-new design, combining precision cut metal and smooth glass for a refined look.

With an all-new design, the Galaxy Note5 provides an unmatched set of productivity tools with its signature S-Pen helping you get more done efficiently. It is a perfect blend of form and function with industry leading features, including the best screen technology, the most advanced camera for high quality photos and videos, fast wireless and wired charging, and an incredibly powerful processor. With the 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, the smartphone offers the most powerful capacity and processing power in  the market, enabling users to enjoy seamless multi-tasking, keep up with messages, post updates to social networks faster, and enjoy graphic-heavy games without suffering lag time.

The Samsung Galaxy Note5 is equipped with multiple features designed and implemented by the R&D team in India. Ranging from the multimedia capabilities of the Galaxy Note5 to some of the browser functions, the Indian R&D team has played a key role in the overall development of the device.

The Galaxy Note5 Dual SIM edition will be available in the Indian market from January 17, 2016, at a best buy price of INR 51,400 for the 32GB memory variant and INR 57,400 for the 64GB memory variant. Samsung is also associating with Airtel to offer a never-before seen 12 month 4G data offering for customers of the Galaxy Note5 Dual SIM. The smartphone will be available in Gold Platinum, Black Sapphire and Silver Titanium colours.
