Check out the infographic below to learn more about how Samsung enhanced the newest addition to the Galaxy family.

The latest addition to Samsung’s Galaxy S series, the Galaxy S10+, was recently rated “Best of Test” by PROTESTE, the largest consumer protection association in Latin America.

The Galaxy S10+ took the top spot in PROTESTE’s smartphone rankings with a record-setting score of 85 points (out of 100). In second and third place are the Galaxy S10 with 84 points, and the Note9 with 83. The Galaxy S10e ranked sixth with 82 points, and the Galaxy S9+ ranked eighth with 81, which means that half of the top ten smartphones in PROTESTE’s rankings are Samsung Galaxy devices.

The Galaxy S10+ stood out in a variety of tests, and was particularly impressive in the portion that evaluated resistance to shocks and water. To test the Galaxy S10+’s durability, PROTESTE repeatedly dropped the device from a height of 90cm, and immersed it in a container of water for an extended period of time.

“We evaluated points that are often extremely important to consumers, such as resistance and the battery,” said Thiago Leite Porto e Silva, a specialist in technology products at PROTESTE. “The Galaxy S10+ exceeded our expectations, and surprised us with the highest grade ever earned in our tests.”

The Galaxy S10+’s top ranking is a testament to the innovation of its features. “This ranking demonstrates that the consumer is at the center of our efforts and development, and will always be our main driving force,” said Jeonghwan Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics Latin America.

Following are details on a selection of Samsung’s award-winning products:

Samsung Galaxy Note9 – The Galaxy Note series has long been recognized for launching Samsung’s latest groundbreaking innovations. The super powerful Galaxy Note9 builds on this legacy with a premium smartphone that delivers all day performance. With a powerful, all-day battery¹, a new S Pen that features Bluetooth Low-Energy connectivity, Samsung’s most intelligent camera yet, and up to a terabyte of storage², the Galaxy Note9 is the phone powerful enough to keep up with your busy life.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 – A 2-in-1 Android tablet designed for people who want to do more on the go, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 helps you work smarter by keeping you operating at the highest levels. With Samsung DeX, longer-lasting battery, refined S Pen, four speakers tuned by AKG, this new tablet makes for easier productivity and more immersive entertainment – anytime, anywhere.

Samsung Galaxy Watch – A premium, powerful smartwatch for those who want to do it all — and look good while doing it. Its long-lasting battery and LTE connectivity gives consumers a true standalone experience. With Samsung’s signature rotating bezel and more robust lineup of style options you get a smartwatch that looks like a traditional timepiece and is intuitive to use. With over 39 tracked exercises and activities and new sleep and stress management features, the powerful smartwatch keeps consumers focused on their health and wellness goals.

Wireless Charger Duo – A combination of the Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand and the Wireless Charging Pad, the fast-charging two-in-one allows users to quickly charge their phone alongside another Qi-compatible phone or wearable simultaneously. The charger eliminates the need to fumble with cables each time you need to top up your devices’ batteries, while its built-in stand offers easy access to your phone’s screen.

Samsung DeX – Samsung DeX gives users a PC-like experience directly from their flagship Samsung Galaxy mobile device. It can be done by simply connecting a a mobile device to an external monitor, or changing a setting on Galaxy TabS4. DeX enables users to use their phone or tablet as a touch padboard or touch keypad. DeX also offers “dual mode,” so they can continue to use the phone or tablet while working on the external monitor—whether it’s participating in a video chat or drawing and taking notes.  Note9 users can also use their SPen to advance slides while in DeX mode on a larger screen.

SmartThings Tracker – A small, lightweight GPS tracking device connected through an LTE-M³ network that helps people quickly and more accurately keep track of what matters most. Whether it’s a gym bag lost at school or a pet that might have wandered too far from home, items can be easily tracked in real time through Samsung’s Android and iOS compatible SmartThings app⁴. Family members can also use SmartThings Tracker to stay connected by sending a location notification to the SmartThings app that alerts the rest of the family of their whereabouts. And, since it is SmartThings-enabled, the SmartThings Tracker can be used as an arrival sensor, triggering automations like a connected porch light turning on when the device is within range.

HMD Odyssey + – This Windows mixed reality headset captivates users in the stunningly crisp detail that offers comfort, so that they can stay immersed in their favorite games and content. In addition to its Super AMOLED displays, the HMD Odyssey+ features new display technology called the Anti-Screen Door Effect (anti-SDE), so gamers no longer have to worry about dizziness and distorted views. The premium design of the HMD Odyssey+ is perfectly complemented by rich and dynamic audio of AKG technology, including 360° spatial sound, as well as 110° field of view – all of which that delivers a more fluid and real-life user experience.

Samsung Galaxy A6 – For those who want to get more out of a more affordable smartphone, the Galaxy A6 features an immersive screen, powerful camera and a new level of convenience. With a Super AMOLED Infinity Display that brings your content to life with bright, rich colors and support for expandable storage up to 400GB, the Galaxy A6 offers plenty of room for videos, music and files. With 16MP front and rear cameras, users can capture stunning photos and selfies, and the F1.7 aperture on the rear camera helps keep pictures bright and clear in low-light settings.

Samsung 256GB 3DS DDR4 RDIMM – The industry’s fastest DDR4 and highest density memory module for next-generation enterprise server platforms is enabled with the finest high-density, high-performance consumer infrastructure solutions along, with extremely low-power consumption (15 watts at 1.2V).

Samsung’s human-centric LED solution can improve a person’s concentration level by as much as 10% for greater work efficiency. Furthermore, it also can help people to sleep better at night due to the melatonin hormone having been suppressed by the LM302S during the daytime.

Models pose wearing designs from the capsule collection, “Mobile Couture”, designed by Fontan using the Galaxy Note9

Future Fashion

Spearheading progressive design in the world of fashion, Fontan is a couture designer, whose works garnered three awards at Graduate Fashion Week in London this year. She was also the first fashion student to “grow” her own dress, which was organically grown from 100% biodegradable textile, including Kombucha tea, sugar, bacteria and yeast. For this collection, to continue her sustainability efforts, Fontan utilized a mix of recycled leather and biodegradable 3D plastic fastenings in the garments.

The Galaxy Note9 was an integral tool to the design process of the ‘Mobile Couture’ Collection

Working at the intersection of technology and fashion, Fontan’s ambition and creativity show what the Galaxy Note9 can do in the hands of next-gen achievers. “Mobile Couture” is a key example of how readily available technology, such as a smartphone, can open up new possibilities for the traditional methods of couture design.

Digital Design

Fontan used the Galaxy Note9 at every stage in the design process – from concept to completion – as she created the four garments which make up the capsule collection.

The designer’s sketches show the complex layers of detail required for couture design

The Galaxy Note9’s signature S Pen is both pressure-sensitive and fine-tipped, meaning that Fontan could sketch on the device as if using pencil on paper, shading and drawing intricate patterns whenever and wherever inspiration struck. The S Pen’s remote-control function also sparked her creativity, allowing the couturier to take photos without needing to hold the phone, which offered new perspectives for her digital look book.

Using the camera and S Pen to source, annotate and save inspiration for her digital sketchbook even while on the move, Fontan also had the freedom to keep large files of diverse formats on the device as she worked, thanks to the device’s large storage capacity.

By 3D-printing elements of the garments directly from the Galaxy Note9, Fontan eliminated the computer as an intermediary device, instead relying on the smartphone’s substantial processing power. She was even able to monitor and edit files during the printing process.

Fontan also used the Galaxy Note9 to wirelessly transmit her fabric pattern designs to be printed onto leather strips.

Tailoring with Technology

In using the Galaxy Note9, the time taken to craft the collection was dramatically reduced, allowing Fontan to work quickly to create beautiful garments with these innovative techniques.

Technology and sustainability work in harmony in the “Mobile Couture” collection. Recycled leather was used to create the base, which is made of shredded leather scraps and residues, whilst the 3D fastenings were made from the biodegradable material PLA (polylactic acid), a renewable resource derived from corn starch.

“As someone whose creativity is driven by the potential of technology and science, it was really interesting for me to find that there was a smartphone that actually had the capabilities to control and own the whole production process of an entire collection,” Fontan elaborated. “My ideas are ambitious and aim to challenge traditional processes so, as a young designer, it was liberating to be able to see them come to fruition using a device that I always have in my hand.”

¹512GB internal memory as standard. 512GB models available in select countries. Up to 512GB additional storage with external SD card (sold separately).

Sketching is one of the many steps – perhaps the most initial stage of it all – that a designer must go through when creating their own clothing. It’s the first step in visualizing their ideas. When drawing, most designers would pick up a piece of paper and a pencil. But these two people are slightly different and their tools of the trade aren’t everyday stationery. Jooho Lee and Jiyeon Won are creative director and designer for R.SHEMISTE, a Korea-based fashion brand that’s been attracting the fashion world’s attention for their bold colors and patterns.

What made these two start using the Galaxy Note9 for their designs? Read on to find out their answers at the R.SHEMISTE S/S 2019 Collection site.

Galaxy Note in the World of R.SHEMISTE

On October 16, the R.SHEMISTE S/S 2019 collection with a special collaboration with Samsung Galaxy Note was held at Seoul Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), the fashion hub of Korea. Collaboration among fashion brands has been ongoing for many years. But the collaboration between fashion and IT industries is less typical, as it is not so usual to dissolve IT products into fashion.

With music that announced the start of the show, models on the runway appeared with bold, colorful clothes, bags and suitcases where Samsung’s Galaxy Note9 and Galaxy Tab S4 were part of their designs.

Designer Jiyeon Won said, “We interpreted the smartphone as a fashion item that we carry every day, not a mere mobile device. We wanted to present a way to carry the Galaxy Note9 stylishly with PVC material.”

Jooho Lee, the creative director, referred to the integration of Galaxy Note9 in the runway costumes as the ‘highlight’ of the show, stating, “The same exact clothes can be worn differently depending on which screen the user decides to turn on the smartphone display.”

Anytime and Anywhere – Inspiration from the Galaxy Note

It was their drawing and designing experience with the Galaxy Note that helped them decide the collaboration with Samsung. When running R.SHEMISTE, Lee as a creative director decides the overall concept and designer Won actualizes the thoughts into a visual output.

“I used to borrow pieces of paper or even napkins at cafes to record any immediate ideas,” said Lee. “With the Galaxy Note, I can draw pictures anytime and anywhere and send them to others for their feedback.” With the Galaxy Note, Lee and Won exchange their ideas and share opinions with much convenience regardless of time or space.

“Because fashion incorporates a wide spectrum of colors, texture and materials, there are limitations in expression when drawing by hand. Using a variety of color palettes and brushes featured in the S Pen makes it so much easier to visualize an idea onto a phone,” said designer Won.

R.SHEMISTE seeks to create harmony by mixing things that do not match with one another. After having completed a successful collaboration between the fashion and IT industries, Jooho Lee and Jiyeon Won plan on creating another fashion that covers all aspects of today’s lifestyle.
