Samsung Health recently expanded its language support of its Mindfulness service in collaboration with Calm², the number 1 sleep and meditation app. Now more people can easily access a variety of guided programs in different languages, from English to German, French, and Spanish. To make sure you stay relaxed this season, here are some helpful tips for using Samsung Health to manage your stress.

Make Time for Mindfulness

When stress levels rise, meditation and mindfulness practices are a great way to unwind. Studies have shown that mindfulness can improve your overall well-being, reduce anxiety and depression, and even improve physical health.

Mindfulness techniques include everything from quiet meditation, breathing exercises and directed attention. Through the Samsung Health app, you can enjoy a variety of mindfulness and meditation activities to help you get back into the swing of work and school.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Just open the Samsung Health app, select ‘Discover’, and tap ‘Mindfulness’. From there you can select guided meditation programs, Sleep Stories, and a wide selection of relaxing music. And that’s not all – using Galaxy wearables³, like the Galaxy Watch Active2, you can pause and play meditation sessions and measure your stress levels before and after to see how much your stress levels have improved.

How would you like to be woken up in the morning by your favorite Hallyu star? With the Galaxy series’ Celebrity Alarm feature launched this March, which allows users to customize the sound of their alarm from a range of Korean celebrities’ voices, now you can be.

With Celebrity Alarm, users of devices¹ can set their phone notification and alarm noises to the voice of their favorite Korean celebrities. Celebrity Alarm currently features the voices of 21 fan favorites, including ITZY, Daniel Kang, Dae-hwi Lee, Ji-hoon Park, Seventeen, NU’EST, Monsta X, GFriend and Apink – and this number is constantly growing.

The Celebrity Alarm feature functions not only as a customized alarm clock, but also provides notification alerts for various day-to-day scenarios – users can get the day of the week and current time alerts in a celebrity’s voice. If Bixby is enabled, users can also receive daily weather information from their favorite stars.

Not only does Celebrity Alarm provide you with a unique way to receive daily alerts, but the stars’ messages also vary depending on the weather, day of the week and the time. For example, if the weather is cold, Eun-woo Cha may greet you with “It’s very chilly outside, are you wearing warm clothes?”, and on Monday mornings, Dae-hwi Lee will greet you with “It’s a fresh Monday morning. Life is not a problem to be solved but a gift to be enjoyed. Begin the best day of your week!”.

Celebrity Alarm is available for purchase in the Galaxy Store². Once a user’s desired celebrity voice has been downloaded, it will automatically be saved in a device’s alarm sound list – this is then customizable from within the settings of the Clock app. Once a user has set an alarm, they can choose their desired celebrity voice by clicking on ‘Alarm Sound’ → ‘Celebrity Alarm’ → ‘Selected Voice’, or ‘Alarm Sound’ → ‘Bixby Alarm’ → ‘Selected Voice’ if Bixby is turned on.

The Celebrity Alarm app is available in 11 Asian countries, including Korea, China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia, and will be expanded to more countries, languages, devices and celebrity features in the near future. The Sample Celebrity Alarm can be played in languages other than Korean³ when played by a user on a device local to their country of residence.

¹ Celebrity Alarm is supported on the Galaxy S10e, S10, S10+, S10 5G, S9, S9+, N9, S8, S8+, N8, Note FE, A8(2018), A9(2018), A9 Pro, A7(2018), A6 Plus, A6, A50, A30, A10, J6, J4 Plus, Jean2, Tab A, Tab S4 and Tab S5e. To use Celebrity Alarm, update the ‘Clock App’ to the latest version (v10.0.02.20) and update to P OS.

² Each voice selection is priced at 2.20 USD for 90 days.

³ The Celebrity Alarm app supports simple greeting messages by Korean celebrities in nine languages (Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese Chinese, Japanese, English, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Malay) through the ‘Sample Celebrity Alarm’ sound. The simple greeting message in English is supported in Singapore and the Philippines. Please note that the official content service only supports Korean.

The Galaxy S10 line’s camera plays a unique role across the range’s devices; not only does it take top quality photos and videos, but it also provides users with the opportunity to be creative with their background wallpapers thanks to the placement of the front camera punch hole.

Harnessing the creativity this display characteristic unlocks, Samsung Electronics and Disney recently launched a new range of background wallpaper options. Following on from the Disney AR Emojis released last year, Samsung and Disney have brought fan-favorite characters from Disney and Pixar’s The Incredibles and Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen and Zootopia right to the home screens of the Galaxy S10.

One of the groundbreaking innovations the Galaxy S10 line features is its full-screen experience, made possible by the Infinity-O Display that covers, bar the camera punch hole, the entire front side of the device. Thanks to precise laser cutting techniques, the camera has been tucked away into the right hand side of the display to eliminate distractions for a cinematic viewing experience.

Since the launch of the Galaxy S10 line, many eye-catching and creative wallpaper designs have emerged. Users themselves have been creating and sharing their own background wallpapers custom-designed for the Galaxy S10’s Infinity-O Display, taking advantage of its unique design, camera punch hole placement and the impressive screen real estate on offer.

Samsung wallpapers are available to purchase on the Galaxy Store, and the special Disney collaboration range of wallpapers are downloadable free of charge for Galaxy S10 users.¹ Samsung plans to expand the options for Infinity-O background wallpapers further through various collaborations in the near future.

¹ Disney wallpapers are available for the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10e. Wallpaper availability may vary by region and device model.
