Cycling through Iceland.

Trekking on the Kheer Ganga route.

And sharing it all with the world through social media.

All these wonderful memories packed with some substantial information on fitness and health tracking in every trip. A constant monitoring of heart rate along with some unmeasured adrenaline rush.

The top priorities for a young Indian are to travel far and wide…and to stay fit. This is exactly where Samsung’s latest range of wearables fit in.

Young at Heart

Sleek, trendy, a technological wonder — wearables have always thrilled the youth. However, the ones loaded with real-time features have often eluded them because of the price bracket. With Samsung’s new range of fitness bands starting at INR 2590, that may just change.

For college fachchas, university life may get all the more exciting and your fitness quotient may notch up as well with the Samsung Galaxy Fit E strapped on. Climbing up & down the stairs, finding your way to the classroom through the university corridors, hopping from a metro to an auto rickshaw – all recorded on the fitness band.

Staying fit will not just be a serious life goal, but a community-based fun activity. Even when your friends are miles away, you can challenge one another on step counts and of course, go one-up on bragging rights!

Undoubtedly, the style quotient steps up, each time you step out! Just look at the set of wearables…don’t they make your heart race?

Don’t worry, that’s being monitored all the time – even when one is sleeping.

That One Inspiring Partner that Everyone Needs

They say that the first steps are the hardest ones. In the world of fitness, it’s the first 10K steps that sets you on a path to wellness. Thus a fitness gadget needs to be much more than an information provider. It has to be an all-round motivating companion. The Galaxy Fit, and the Galaxy Active watch ensure that your fitness journey is a wholesome enriching experience.

Life sure becomes easy when your sleep pattern is monitored, your blood pressure is measured and you are informed about constant weather changes outside.

Connecting fitness with everyday activity so seamlessly makes life all the more fun. So the next time you post your picture of your snorkeling trip, do it along with your under water heart beat!

Samsung Electronics America’s Senior Vice President of Product Marketing, Justin Denison, kicks off the event by introducing the world to the Galaxy Fold – a device that marks the beginning of a whole new mobile category. Summing up the Galaxy Fold as phone “unlike any you’ve ever seen,” Denison demonstrates how the device’s breakthrough design, seamless portability, and intuitive user experience will change everything from multitasking to mobile entertainment, to snapping selfies.

Samsung Electronics America’s Director of Product Marketing, Suzanne de Silva, discusses the ins and outs of the Galaxy S10’s Infinity-O Display. With the world’s first Dynamic AMOLED display and support for HDR10+, she explains, the Galaxy S10 offers “a truly next-generation, cinematic experience.” She also describes how the display’s first-of-its-kind Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner provides vault-like security to keep your device safe.

De Silva explains how the Galaxy S10’s triple rear camera system, which includes an all-new, 123-degree Ultra Wide lens, offers users “a pro-grade camera for every situation.”

“From expansive storage to advanced speeds, the (Galaxy) S10 is like having a super computer in your pocket,” says Drew Blackard, Samsung Electronics America’s Senior Director of Product Marketing. As he explains, the Galaxy S10+ is available with up to 12GB of RAM and a terabyte of base storage, and the Galaxy S10’s new processor enables 29 percent faster CPU speeds and 37 percent faster GPU speeds. He also announces that the Galaxy S10 models will be the first mobile devices optimized to work seamlessly with Unity’s new, gaming engine-enhancing Adaptive Performance feature. The combination of premium performance specs and Adaptive Performance support will enable the Galaxy S10 to power next-level gaming experiences.

Featuring built-in Bixby support, easy controls, clear and smart sound, and a comfortable and compact form factor, the Galaxy Buds are an everyday, in-ear lifestyle companion. They’re designed to keep up with you all day – offering up to six hours of music and up to five hours of calls – and feature a compact case that delivers 1.7 hours of use after a quick 15-minute charge.

Vives explains how the new Galaxy Watch Active and Galaxy Fit combine exercise-tracking functions with innovations that can help users keep track of their overall wellness. These include heart rate monitors that check for irregular heartbeats, and continuous stress tracking – “to keep you calm when life gets overwhelming.”

Blackard returns to the stage to reveal the final member of the Galaxy S10 family: the Galaxy S10 5G. The first Galaxy phone to be compatible with 5G networks, the Galaxy S10 5G places the power of ultra-high speeds directly into users’ hands. It also features a powerful new 3D Depth Camera, as well as the largest screen and most powerful battery ever included in a Galaxy S device.

After discussing Samsung technologies that have helped accelerate the development of 5G commercial networks over the last ten years, DJ Koh hands the stage over to Hans Vestberg, CEO of Verizon, who reveals that his company will be the first carrier to launch the Galaxy S10 5G.
