Not anymore. In the spirit of a ‘Games Wide Open’ at Paris 2024, Samsung is helping athletes create and share new, more personal memories of the celebration atop the podium with the Victory Selfie powered by Galaxy.

In an Olympic Games first, medalists at Paris 2024 have been documenting their ceremonies from their own perspective as they were handed the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition on the podium to take their Victory Selfie after receiving their Olympic medals. The selfies have been uploaded automatically and wirelessly to the Athlete365 portal so athletes can share their moments on a whole new level — perfectly aligning with Samsung’s belief that ‘Open always wins’ and that openness creates new perspectives and infinite possibilities.

“To be able to share to share the moment of achieving my dream of winning a medal with my fans, family and friends around the world — through my own perspective — was incredible,” said Team Samsung Galaxy member Rayssa Leal (Skateboarding, Brazil). “It not only amplified a moment I’ll never forget but also celebrated the camaraderie beyond the competition as my fellow medalists and I took the Victory Selfie together on the podium.”

Samsung Newsroom picked some of the best shots from the Paris 2024 medal ceremonies below. The new Victory Selfie program will continue throughout the Olympic Games Paris 2024.

Unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked 2024, the Galaxy Z Fold6 has captivated consumers with a sleek design and new features that showcase the endless possibilities of foldable phones. Just as durable as before with a more compact and lightweight case, the latest device in the Z Fold series comes equipped with Galaxy AI — optimized for use on foldables to take user productivity to another level.

What are the secrets behind the Galaxy Z Fold6’s innovations? Samsung Newsroom looked inside to find out.

1. Main Display

The main display boasts a peak brightness of 2,600nits, making the foldable’s screen clear and easy to see even in broad daylight. Vision Booster further enhances the visual experience by optimizing the colors and contrast of images for different lighting environments.

2. Wing Plate

The wing plate helps the Galaxy Z Fold6 fold and unfold smoothly. Moving between the display and hinge, the wing plate aligns the interior and protects the display from any mechanical damage. Despite being extremely thin, the wing plate is made of a special material that exerts strong force.

3. Hinge

The hinge acts as the central axis for folding and unfolding the phone. Because slimmer devices require narrower hinge spaces, advanced hinge technology is essential to making foldables as thin as possible without sacrificing hinge performance and stability. The Galaxy Z Fold6’s hinge is smaller and slimmer than before but equally as durable due to new and reinforced materials. Thanks to the new hinge, Samsung was able to create an ultra-portable phone that is easy to carry anywhere, anytime.

4. Front Case

The case is thinner and lighter than that of its predecessor but just as resilient. Made of Enhanced Armor Aluminum, the case safely wraps and protects the foldable’s internal components like armor — like the name suggests. The case’s IP48-rated water resistance means the Galaxy Z Fold6 can be used safely on rainy days outdoors as well.

5. Vapor Chamber

Vapor chambers diffuse heat to prevent smartphones from overheating. The larger the vapor chamber, the more effectively it can dissipate heat and allow devices to maintain stable performance. Samsung included in the Galaxy Z Fold6 a vapor chamber that is approximately 1.6 times the size of the Galaxy Z Fold5’s.

6.Main Battery

Samsung inserted a thinner main battery into the device to perfect its slimmer design. Unlike that of a bar-type smartphone, the main battery of the Galaxy Z Fold6 is divided into two parts.

7. Sub Battery

The sub battery is located on the opposite side of the main battery and was also slimmed down to fit the Galaxy Z Fold’s sleek design.

8. Main PBA

The brain of a smartphone, the printed board assembly (PBA) houses core parts such as the application processor and memory. To achieve the Galaxy Z Fold’s thinner design, Samsung shifted from using a stacked, multilayer main PBA to a single-layer one.

9. Sub PBA

The sub PBA contains the chips responsible for operating the device’s display and speakers. A slim printed circuit board (PCB) was used for the sub PBA.

10. Back Cover

The back cover is the final stage of the Galaxy Z Fold6 manufacturing process. It not only protects the internal components but also showcases the foldable’s sleek design. Corning’s Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 — known for its excellent durability — is incorporated into the back cover, reassuring users that their phones are well-protected.

11. Sub Display

Compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold6 boasts a well-balanced, horizontally wider screen ratio that greatly enhances the foldable’s usability. Users can fold their device and still enjoy a comfortable viewing experience with the sub display alone. Like the main display, the sub display can also get as bright as up to 2,600 nits, giving users a clear view of their screens even in broad daylight.

This versatility stems from unsurpassed technology and a design that carefully considers users’ lifestyles and needs. Samsung Newsroom took the Galaxy Z Flip6 apart for a better look at each of its components.

1. Main Display

When users unfold the device, they see a Dynamic AMOLED screen with unrivaled picture quality. Photos, videos, games and other content come to life in vivid detail. The main display must be able to resist external shocks and restore its original form when the device is unfolded. Those functions have been enhanced on the Galaxy Z Flip6 with new materials and design techniques that guarantee both durability and flexibility.

Notably, the crease along the folded area is much less pronounced in the Galaxy Z Flip6 compared to earlier models. Besides being stacked with protective film and a more flexible protective layer, the Galaxy Z Flip6’s main display also boasts a more resilient Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) — having increased in thickness by 60%. In addition, high-efficiency organic materials and a new coating technique on the panel with lower reflectivity maximize usage time and make the screen easier to see when outside with a peak brightness that has been boosted from 1,750 to 2,600nits.

2. Hinge

Samsung’s top-notch proprietary hinge technology is what gives the Galaxy Z Flip6 its slim design and a smooth folding experience. When the device is folded, four drive shafts fold the display into the shape of a water droplet and keep the two screens together for a seamless fit. The integrated hinge module features a symmetrical dual-rail structure that evenly distributes external shocks. The device can be used while fully folded and unfolded, or unfolded at various angles between 75 and 115 degrees. FlexMode allows users to prop up the phone at any angle to watch videos or take photos with no need for a phone stand or tripod.

3. Hinge Cover and Case

The Galaxy Z Flip’s hinge cover and case are made of Enhanced Armor Aluminum, making them more resistant to scratches and damage. The luxurious colors that elevate the foldable’s aesthetics come from an optimized anodizing coating process, and the use of recycled materials in the device captures the company’s concern for the environment.

4. Vapor Chamber

The Galaxy Z Flip6 is the first in the Z Flip series to feature a vapor chamber. Vapor chambers diffuse heat to prevent smartphones from overheating. The larger the vapor chamber, the more effectively it can dissipate heat and allow devices to maintain stable performance. Samsung managed to include a large vapor chamber in the foldable.

5. Main Battery

The Galaxy Z Flip6 has a battery capacity of 4,000mAh. Samsung used a molding technique on the main battery protection circuits to minimize the size of the protection board, making it possible to increase battery capacity by maximizing the space inside the device.

6. Sub Battery

More energy-dense than before, the sub battery improves the Galaxy Z Flip6’s battery performance even further.

7. Main PBA

The brain of a smartphone, the printed board assembly (PBA) houses core parts such as the memory and processor. The Galaxy Z Flip6 is the Galaxy Z Flip series’ most compact model by applying a stacked main PBA with highly integrated parts.

8. Sub PBA

The sub PBA, located on the charging terminal and speaker side, supports various radio frequency bands and the internationally standardized USB Type-C connector. It is also equipped with a low-noise Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) microphone that facilitates accurate speech recognition.

9. Back Cover

The back cover forms the front and back sides of the Galaxy Z Flip6 when it is folded. Incorporated into it is Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus 2® from Corning — a world leader in glass science and long-standing partner of Samsung.

Designed to embrace adventure and optimized for people with a passion for maximizing performance, the Galaxy Watch Ultra takes the wearable experience to the next level. With advanced AI-based health monitoring and fitness features, unparalleled durability and cutting-edge hardware, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is a personal trainer users can call on anytime.

Samsung Newsroom took this next-generation smartwatch apart and examined it piece by piece — from front to back and even the watch band.

1. Sensor

The BioActive Sensor is a key component that measures health metrics such as heart rate and oxygen levels. For more accurate health monitoring, the Galaxy Watch Ultra has a sensor with 13 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) — nine more than its predecessor. The enhanced sensor precisely assesses health metrics whether users are on the move or working out at the gym.

2. Rear Deco

The rear deco sits against the wrist alongside the BioActive Sensor to enhance the sensor’s performance.

3. Front and Back Cases

The case consists of a front and a back — protecting the watch dial’s movements and surrounding the display. This is the part that most strongly expresses the individual character of a watch. The metal part of the case is made of titanium. Apart from being lighter and stronger than steel use stainless (SUS), the premium metal also adds a touch of class.

4. PBA, Printed Board Assembly

The printed board assembly (PBA) is responsible for the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s powerful performance. Equipped with a 3nm Processor for the first time within the Galaxy Watch lineup, the PBA uses a 3nm process and a big.LITTLE processing architecture. This design approach combines one large, powerful core with several smaller cores to increase the power efficiency of the CPU. The Galaxy Watch Ultra’s AP has one big core dedicated to high-performance processing and four little cores that share low-power processing tasks. As a result, the CPU runs three times faster than previous processors and offers a 30% improvement in power efficiency of the processor.

5. Display

The customizable display — now brighter with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits — showcases a variety of watch faces to express the user’s individual tastes and preferences. The Galaxy Watch Ultra’s screen is clearly visible even outdoors in bright sunlight.

6. Index Deco

The index deco is a circular bezel that surrounds the display. Made of lightweight titanium, the index deco’s sleek design was inspired by the indices found on traditional wristwatches.

7. Watch Band 

The watch band is designed for comfort and breathability with a wavelike design that resists sweat and moisture. The double-tongue buckle provides a secure fit, bringing greater peace of mind to active users who wear the Galaxy Watch Ultra while exercising. Not only is the watch band more comfortable, but it is also easier to attach and detach.
