Technology is so tightly integrated into our lives that we often find ourselves being surrounded by displays in this time and age. From starting your day off by turning off the alarm and reading the morning news from your smartphone to working in the office with a monitor and ending the day with your favorite TV show, it is evident that displays have become an essential part of our daily lives.

As much as displays have enabled us to significantly improve our efficiency and productivity in many areas of our lives, we cannot deny the fact that they have their downsides too. Due to heavy usage of displays, it has resulted in a few health issues that were not commonly seen in the past. One of the most common issues is called computer vision syndrome (CVS), also known as digital eye strain, which causes a person to experience headaches, blurred vision, back pain, fatigue, eye strain, etc.

So, what can you do to protect your eyes from CVS? Check out a few useful tips below:

1. Practice the 20-20-20 rule

When staring at your display, for every 20 minutes that pass, look away from your display towards a fixed point that is 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This acts as a great reminder to allow your eyes to take a break from staring at the display for too long and hence, helps to avoid eye fatigue.

2. Ensure adequate room lighting and optimal display brightness and glare

Ensure that your room is adequately lit and is not too bright or dark. Avoid sitting in front of windows that bring in excessive sunlight or even indoors in areas that have harsh lighting. That aside, you could also choose to install blinds or curtains by the windows or install fewer lights indoors at places where you’ll more commonly use your display.

3. Limit your screen time

Though it is challenging to keep our eyes off the screen most of the time, setting aside time is fundamental to address eye strain. It is especially crucial to disconnect before bedtime as the ‘blue light’ emitted from displays will ‘trick’ your mind into thinking it is daytime, which ultimately makes it more challenging for you to fall asleep.

4. Upgrade your display

Another consideration is to upgrade to a display that can address eye strain directly. Older displays often cause flickers that contribute significantly to eye strain, even when it is hardly noticeable. Since we are facing our displays most of the time, upgrading to a display with high resolution, low flicker level, and low level of blue light emission is a wise choice.

Taking care of your eye health should always be important. This is why Samsung has made it a priority to develop display products that not only offer excellent picture quality but are also human-centric.  In 2021, Samsung’s Neo QLED lineup received the first-of-its-kind ‘Eye Care’ certification from Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE), a well-regarded electrical engineering certification institute in Germany.

The Neo QLED TVs also have the ‘Gentle to the eyes’ certification, which proves that they meet the amount of melatonin suppression set by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) standard, an international authority on light, illumination, colour, and colour spaces.

On top of such great certifications, you will also get to enjoy great features on the Samsung Neo QLED TV, which comes with a high-definition display that provides a vivid viewing experience – even for the most avid gamers. It is further powered by its Neo Quantum Processor with enhanced upscaling capabilities that allow you to see the smallest of details.

There is no better time than now to make your Samsung QLED TV purchase with the ongoing Smarter Gifts for Celebrations promotion that is running from 15th November 2021 to 20th February 2022. Head on to https://www.samsung.com/my/smartergifts2122/ for more details.

Taking place in the main cities of Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor, Kuantan, and Kota Kinabalu, aspiring Galaxy S20 owners began congregating at the roadshow spots as early as the night before; as they could not wait to get their hands on Samsung’s latest flagship packaged in an extraordinarily compelling and exclusive bundle.

Hundreds of excited consumers crowd Mid Valley Megamall as early as midnight to bring home the Galaxy S20 that will change the way they see and capture the world

The first day of the roadshow saw many Samsung fans and tech enthusiasts bring home a new Galaxy S20, along with a free Samsung Wireless Charger Pad and a 128GB Samsung MicroSD Memory Card worth a total of RM378. Moreover, the exceptional early birds were rewarded with extra-special prizes – a brand-new Samsung 50” 4K Smart UHD TV (worth RM2,599) or an RM400 instant rebate upon trading in an old camera.

The first in line was Colin Chong, a 34-year-old Compliance Officer at a local bank. He arrived in Mid Valley Megamall over 24 hours early to survey the roadshow area just to ensure his eligibility to bring home a new 4K Samsung TV. “I arrived in Mid Valley at around 8:30am just to see if there were other customers lining up. But since nothing was set up yet, I went home to rest and came back at around 4:30pm, and finally made a line at around 8:00pm. It’s been a long night, but surprisingly I still feel great,” he said. “I’ve been a Samsung user since the Galaxy S7 and to me, the Galaxy S20 is a big upgrade over its predecessors. I chose the Ultra variant because of its 5G and awesome camera capabilities. To be the first consumer in KL to touch the Galaxy S20 is special and exciting. The 4K TV is a great add-on to! This will go to my parents-in-law, as I think they definitely needed an upgrade over their old cathode-ray tube (CRT) TV,” he laughed.

Mohd Aizad Abd Talib was next in line, who made a trip up to KL all the way from Malacca. “I arrived here at around 8:45pm and started lining up at about 9:00pm. I came to KL as early as I could for this great TV promo, which to me, is the best roadshow promo by Samsung so far,” said the 34-year-old IT advisor. “I’m extremely happy with my purchase of the S20 Ultra, especially because its display finally has a 120Hz refresh rate,” he added.

The Galaxy S20 series has caught the eyes of many video and content creators as well, as testified by local YouTubers Paan Hanz and Faiz Zainal.

“As an on-the-go content creator, I’ve liked Samsung’s camera and video functions for a long time now. I’ve been a die-hard Note series user ever since the Galaxy Note 2, but decided to finally go for the S20 Ultra as it has many features I’ve been dreaming of in a Samsung phone, such as the 120Hz Super AMOLED display, 108MP camera with Space Zoom, 5,000 mAh battery, the Exynos 990 processor, and of course 5G capabilities,” said Paan Hanz, a 27-year-old tech YouTuber.

Faiz Zainal, a 26-year-old who works in the media industry, noted that this was his first time lining up for a Samsung flagship at a consumer roadshow, adding that the free 50” 4K TV was too good of a deal to pass on. “My new TV will go into my room. It’s going to be a big part of my life moving forward, as I’ll definitely be going on Netflix every night before I sleep!” he said. “As for my new Galaxy S20+, I’m extremely pleased with this purchase. The camera is probably among the best one in smartphones now, and finally we have a 120Hz display in a Samsung phone which I love. The S20 series also doesn’t have a curved screen anymore, which is actually a good thing to me,” he added.

Remenia Shortt, a 34-year-old Malaysian citizen originally from Philippines, purchased her new Galaxy S20 Ultra solely for its picture-taking capabilities. “The cameras on Samsung phones have always been amazing. And now with the Ultra, I probably have the best smartphone camera right now, especially for dark or night time situations,” she said. “I’ve been using Samsung phones for as long as I can remember, from the Note 2, to the S7 Edge, and now the S20 Ultra. Samsung’s after-sales service has always been commendable and I foresee that I’ll continue using Samsung for quite a while more. I really can’t wait to play around with the camera, especially for when I go swimming!” she added

“We are reaching out to this generation of doers, people who go out and make things happen. We want them to know that if the phone in your pocket can do anything, so can you. When the opportunity to support our first national figure skater Julian Yee came about, we jumped at the chance because Julian is a prime example of what it means to Do What You Can’t. Against all odds, Julian is today an Olympic contender in a sport that isn’t even common in Malaysia – and for that we are very proud of him and we hope others would see him as an inspiration to achieve greater things,” said Mr Yoonsoo Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

“Just like how Julian was able to achieve what many thought was unrealistic, we decided to remain in that spirit, and produce a beautiful and creative video from a mobile device. Both Julian and the video have shown us at Samsung that with the right mindset, attitude and support, Doing What You Can’t is something very attainable after all,” Mr Yoonsoo Kim added.

In view of the coming Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, Samsung prepared a short feature film entitled “Julian and His Magical Skates”, a special tribute to the rising star. The video was fully recorded and illustrated with the Samsung Galaxy Note8 and its S Pen, further cementing Samsung’s progress in innovation and of doing the impossible.

The Galaxy Note8 is Samsung’s ultimate productivity device, the very tool to help you push boundaries and break past your limits. With its one-of-a-kind S Pen, it allowed the creative team behind the video to bring the beautiful illustrations to life. Thanks to its large and gorgeous Infinity Display, there was a clear canvas big enough for the artists to place their quality work on.

Mr Chan Woei Hern, Executive Creative Director of Ensemble Worldwide Malaysia, who was commissioned to produce this brand film, shared that, “The best technologies are often the simplest ones.  Like a pair of skates or the S Pen. Two seemingly ordinary tools, but in the right hands or in Julian’s case, feet, it can capture people’s attention and imagination. As we heard Julian’s story, we wanted to get into the mood of Do What You Can’t as well. And that meant scripting, sketching and creating the story entirely from scratch with a Galaxy Note8 and S Pen. That’s the magic of technology at work. We’ll be releasing a behind-the-scenes video soon, shot entirely on a Galaxy Note8 as well, so everyone can experience the journey as we brought the video to life.”

“My story is a tale of Do What You Can’t because I really did; and I want to remind everyone out there that young or old, you CAN achieve your dreams and you will be surprised that you CAN actually do what you never thought you could. With innovations and advanced technology in today’s world to help make things easier, none of us should be held back by “ifs”, “buts”, or “maybes”. We should all have that burning spirit to achieve the impossible – and from here on out, it should be “yes”, “can”, and “Do What We Can’t”!” said Julian Yee.

“Julian and His Magical Skates” is the telling of Julian’s journey to the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, and a reiteration of Samsung’s “Do What You Can’t” message to inspire others to break barriers to fuel meaningful progress and realise their dreams.

Kuala Lumpur, 21 September 2017 – The next level Note has arrived! Excitement filled the atmosphere at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur as fans gathered to witness the official launch of Samsung’s most advanced device of the year, the Samsung Galaxy Note8. Dubbed as the ultimate productivity tool that drives achievers to do bigger things in work and life, the Galaxy Note8 is a combination of powerful features and ground-breaking innovations.

“People are consistently striving to do bigger and better things; and their relentless passion and spirit to achieve more has inspired us to design the new Note to ultimately help people reach their goals and potentials. The new Galaxy Note8 features a refined design, an enhanced S Pen, a best-in-class dual camera, and innovative entertainment and productivity capabilities to help people do bigger things. It is more than just a smartphone — it is a device that works the way we live, and empowers us to make things happen,” said Mr KM Liew, Head of IT & Mobile Business, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

While the innovative features and the sleek design of the Galaxy Note8 stole the hearts and minds of tech enthusiasts, it was the special appearance of Korea’s Running Man ace, Song Ji-Hyo that captured the attention of invited guests and sent the crowd into a rapturous cheer. Addressing the crowd at the launch event, the Korean gameshow star was on a mission to show Malaysian fans a new form of communication using the Galaxy Note8’s newest S Pen feature, Live Message.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of the Galaxy Note series so as soon as I heard Samsung was launching the Galaxy Note8 in Malaysia, I immediately got on board. This was the perfect opportunity for me to engage with my Malaysian fans and show them what I’ve been practising back home! Communication today has evolved tremendously compared to when we had limited options. With today’s technology, we can express ourselves in ways we never could before; and this makes communicating so fun and exciting! Check out all my fun giftographs I designed with the Note8’s S Pen!” exclaimed Song Ji-Hyo at the Galaxy Note8 launch event.

With the Galaxy Note8, Samsung continues to showcase its heritage in both hardware and software innovation. Built on the Galaxy foundation users have come to know and love, the phone offers an optimal user experience with a large form factor that easily fits in one hand, innovative display design and technologies, and a line-up of thoughtfully designed accessories.

Enjoy and Do More on the Infinity Display

The Galaxy Note8 has the biggest screen ever on a Note device, yet its narrow body makes it comfortable to hold in one hand. The 6.3-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display lets you see more and scroll less. The Galaxy Note8 gives you more room to watch, read and draw—making it the ultimate multitasking smartphone.

Note users have long been able to do more with Multi Window. With the Galaxy Note8, the new App Pair feature lets you create a custom pair of apps on the Edge Panel and simultaneously launch two apps with ease. Watch a video while messaging your friends or dial into a conference call with the number and agenda in front of you.

A New Way to Communicate with the S Pen

Since its introduction, the S Pen has been one of the Note’s defining features. With the Galaxy Note8, the enhanced S Pen unlocks entirely new ways to write, draw, and interact with the phone and communicate with friends. It has a finer tip, improved pressure sensitivity, and features that enable users to express themselves in ways that no other stylus or smartphone ever has.

When communicating with text just isn’t enough, Live Message allows you to reveal your unique personality and tell expressive stories. With the Galaxy Note8, you can now share animated texts or drawings across platforms that support animated GIFs. It’s a whole new way to communicate with the S Pen—adding lively and emotional connections that bring your messages to life.

The Always On Display allows Galaxy users to stay on top of their notifications without unlocking their phone. And with the Galaxy Note8, it’s even more powerful. Screen off memo allows you to take up to one-hundred pages of notes as soon as you remove the S Pen, pin notes to the Always On Display and make edits directly from the Always On Display.

For overseas travels or when you come across a website in a foreign language, the improved S Pen Translate feature lets you hover over text to quickly translate not only individual words, but entire sentences in up to 71 languages, and instantly convert units and foreign currencies.

Better Pictures with Galaxy Note8’s Best-in-Class Camera

For most consumers, one of the things they look for when purchasing a new device is the camera. Samsung set the standard for smartphone cameras and with the Galaxy Note8; we are delivering our most powerful smartphone camera yet.

The Galaxy Note8 is the first smartphone with two 12MP rear cameras with Dual Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) on both the wide-angle and telephoto lenses. Whether you are exploring a new city or running around your backyard, OIS lets you capture sharper images.

For more advanced photo-taking, the Galaxy Note8’s Live Focus feature lets you control the depth of field by allowing you to adjust the bokeh effect in preview mode and after you take the photo. In Dual Capture mode, both rear cameras take two pictures simultaneously and allow you to save both images; one close-up shot from the telephoto lens and one wide-angle shot that shows the entire background.

The wide-angle lens has a Dual Pixel sensor with rapid Auto Focus, so you can capture sharper, clearer shots even in low-light environments. The Galaxy Note8 is also equipped with an industry-leading 8MP Smart Auto Focus front-facing camera for sharp selfies and video chats.

Galaxy of Features and Services

The Galaxy Note8 is built on the Galaxy legacy—a collection of unique features and capabilities that, together, have redefined the mobile experience:

• Water and Dust Resistance: Four years ago, Samsung introduced the first Galaxy device with water resistance. And today, you can take your Note almost anywhere you want with water and dust resistance (IP68^*) on the device and the S Pen. You can write even when the display is wet.
• Fast Wireless Charging: Two years ago, Samsung introduced the first Galaxy device with wireless charging. The Galaxy Note8 supports the most advanced wireless charging capabilities yet, so you can get a quick, convenient charge without having to mess around with ports or wires.
• Security: The Galaxy Note8 offers a choice of biometric authentication options—including iris and fingerprint scanning. Samsung Knox provides defense-grade security at the hardware and software layers and with Secure Folder, keeps your personal and professional data separate.
• Powerful Performance: With 6GB RAM, a 10nm processor, and expandable memory (up to 256GB), you have the power you need to browse, stream, play games, and multitask.
• Innovative Mobile Experiences: Samsung DeX enables a desktop experience, powered by your phone. You can keep your files on your device, conduct work on the go, and use Samsung DeX when you need an even bigger screen. The Galaxy Note8 includes Bixby, a smarter way to use your phone; it learns from you, improves over time, and helps you get more done.

Beyond Phone Experience

Beyond the essential features and typical phone experiences, the Galaxy Note8 elevates the experience for premiere mobile connectivity and entertainment with the new Gear VR with Controller (RRP: RM499). Enabling convenient one-handed control and navigation, the controller provides better motion interaction when accessing interactive VR content. With improved lenses, ergonomics, and expanded compatibility, the new and improved Gear VR headset challenges the very concept of virtual reality, redefining the limits of what it is capable of.

Adding on to the Galaxy ecosystem, the Galaxy Note8 pairs seamlessly to the brand’s latest GPS sports band, the enhanced water-resistant Gear Fit2 Pro, to help users stay motivated, maintain a healthy lifestyle and achieve their fitness goals. A device that makes every move count, the new Gear Fit2 Pro features advanced built-in GPS tracking to capture your run or ride with accurate activity tracking. On top of its new swim and heart rate monitoring capabilities, Gear Fit2 Pro’s Super AMOLED curved 1.5-inch display and a high-resolution colour touchscreen make real-time updates and notifications easier to read.

Users can leave their physical wallet behind with Samsung Pay, turning their Galaxy Note8 into a digital wallet they can use almost anywhere they would use a credit or debit card. With more than 870 worldwide banking partnerships, Samsung Pay has processed more than 240 million transactions to date. Samsung Pay has also added a growing number of loyalty, membership and gift cards, and it continues to add innovative new features like Deals, which shows coupons and discounts at nearby stores that users can redeem instantly.

“We want to build on the success of Samsung Pay by giving new users even more reasons to try it out – not to mention, thank our existing customers for using a service they already love. That is why we are excited to offer Samsung Pay users a first-of-its-kind rewards programme for a mobile payments platform: Samsung Rewards,” said Mr KM Liew, Head of IT & Mobile Business, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Samsung Rewards works just like a points-based credit card rewards program. Every time you make a purchase with Samsung Pay, you earn rewards points. Samsung Rewards also has loyalty tiers with point multipliers – you can earn double, triple, or even quadruple points, depending on how often you use the service each month. In conjunction with the Galaxy Note8 launch in Malaysia, Samsung Malaysia Electronics is rewarding Galaxy Note8 users with 450 welcome points!

The Galaxy Note8 is available in Malaysia beginning 21^st September 2017. Offered at the recommended retail price of RM3,999 (inclusive of 6% GST), the Galaxy Note8 is available in three colour options – Midnight Black, Orchid Gray, Maple Gold.

Samsung Galaxy Note8 Specs:

 

Kuala Lumpur, 6 September 2017 – Pictures capture the essence of life. They evoke emotions, they tell stories and they inspire dreams. Pictures when properly taken are powerful; and while photography skills are essential in great picture-taking, the tools used to take pictures make a world of difference. In a mobile photography workshop held recently, Samsung Malaysia Electronics together with artistic photographer Michael Yeoh taught users the art and science behind the capture of stunning portraits and landscapes by using the brand’s first and powerful dual camera smartphone, the Galaxy Note8.

“Our vision is to take smartphone photography to a whole new level, to redefine the future of photography. We want users to capture special moments the way they want to remember them and our latest mobile camera innovations introduced in the Galaxy Note8 allow them to just do that. We want users to do what they can’t before, to capture big and express bigger,” said Mr KM Liew, Head of IM Business, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

The Dual Camera

The Galaxy Note8’s dual camera is made up of two separate cameras and their respective image sensors that work in a complimentary way to each other. One camera functions like a normal camera, capturing colour images while the second camera adds elements that are not captured with the primary sensor (first camera). When a user takes a picture, two separate images are captured. It is the combination of both of these images that produce a clear, high-quality photography with a greater depth of field. It also utilizes both the phone’s rear wide-angle lens and telephoto lens simultaneously to product optimal results.

Zooming Capabilities

With 2X optical and up to 10X digital zooming capabilities, the dual camera is able to capture clear, high quality close-up shots, be it far distances or low lighting conditions. The telephoto lens uses the optics or optical zoom of the camera, to make the subject appear close without enlarging any portion of it compared to how digital zoom does. In doing so, the optical zoom produces professional-looking images without losing quality. For example, when taking a picture during a concert, users are now able to zoom in and capture all details on the stage.

Stand Tall Above All

In addition to its zooming capabilities, the dual camera, with its fast F1.7 wide-angle lens with Dual Pixel technology and F2.4 telephoto lens, quickly and accurately pinpoints the subject to which the user is focusing on, and thus able to capture sharper and brighter shots even in low light conditions. With the dual Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), users can get crisp, focused images in all lighting conditions, even when they are shooting with an unsteady hand.

Furthermore, new Live Focus and Dual Capture feature gives users creative control to produce stunning photographs that stands above the rest. For example, with Live Focus, it allows user to adjust the bokeh effect – the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image – to change the depth of field of a shot. Users can control the intensity of the overall blur effect and apply it before taking the image in preview mode, or after capturing the photo in the Gallery app.

While many users prefer to make their subjects stand out by blurring the scenery around them, sometimes the background is just as important, such as when capturing a loved one in front of a famous iconic landmark. In Dual Capture mode, both the phone’s rear wide-angle and telephoto lenses work simultaneously to capture two separate images. Users can then access both zoomed-in and wide angel versions of the shot from the Gallery.

The Galaxy Note8 is also equipped with an industry-leading 8MP F1.7 autofocus front-facing camera for sharp selfies and video chats. Its bright lens keeps details clear even in low light, while Smart Auto Focus tracks the faces in the shot.

Kuala Lumpur, 24 June 2016 – When Samsung first introduced its Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge to Malaysians, one of the features that took the nation by storm is its outstanding built-in camera. Many were looking for the perfect smartphone camera to take great shots in any condition; and much to their anticipation, Samsung’s latest flagship smartphones made users rethink what they can do with it. One such fan to appreciate this remarkable camera in a smartphone is award-winning Malaysian photographer, Yaman Ibrahim, who has since begun his journey of capturing his country’s beauty with his Galaxy S7 edge.

Inspired by the holy month of Ramadhan and the customs that come along with it, Yaman embarked on a quest to uncover and showcase his unique perspective on how Malaysians celebrate Ramadhan as a prelude to the upcoming Raya festivities. Yaman, who is based in Kuala Lumpur, harnessed his interest in photography since childhood. With a deep passion in all forms of photography, his new series “Colors of Ramadhan”, all shot with the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, perfectly encapsulated the culture, practices and traditions of the Ramadhan month.

“As a Malaysian, my goal is to provide an accurate representation of what my country is to me – in all its charm and splendour. The Galaxy S7 edge really was an extension of my being and my vision. It showed me more than what I thought a phone was capable of doing and I too was pleasantly surprised by the unexpectedly amazing shots,” said Yaman Ibrahim.

This photography series has touched face on what the lead up to Hari Raya is all about – the Malaysian culture and lifestyle, the joy of gathering together, the crowd of the evening bazaars and the peacefulness of prayers.

“When we designed the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, we wanted to ensure that it truly serves as the perfect lifestyle companion. Taking pictures during the day is great especially with sunlight as your natural lighting; however, the night holds just as much beauty. This is where the Galaxy S7 edge’s camera comes in – its superior quality helps users take stunning images regardless of the time of day,” said Mr Lee Jui Siang, Vice President, IT and Mobile, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

As the world’s 1st smartphone to incorporate Dual Pixel technology, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are capable of producing photographs of DSLR quality; perfectly retaining every detail in the contrasting shades of Malay cuisine to the brilliantly intricate architecture of the mosques. So as the kids play with fireworks and sparks, the fast auto-focus means no more blurred shots when you need to take blink-of-an-eye moments!

Both front and rear cameras are also built with f1.7 lens, allowing more light in into the photo for brighter shots that essentially capture the pure absolute beauty and rich colours even under low-light conditions, making its camera performance unrivalled and one-of-a-kind. Its outstanding low-light shooting function uncovers a whole new perspective into Malaysia’s rich culture and nightlife, and like what many have said about this the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge – this game-changing smartphone never does fail to impress.
