Esports and online gaming has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. From what was seen as a niche hobby played within the confines of LAN cafes, dorm rooms and bedrooms, it is now a global powerhouse with thousands of players – and spectators – participating in large-scale organized events. This expansion has been fuelled in part by advancements in technologies like 5G, which has made esports and gaming more accessible to a wider audience.

Today, gamers can make a living by turning professional and taking part in competitions, or by streaming gameplay sessions online. Many youths worldwide are also showing a keen interest in gaming, and have fueled the popularity of esports by forming a growing viewer base, including major international tournaments.

As esports gains momentum globally, the recent Olympic Esports Week held in Singapore has further ignited interest in gaming in Southeast Asia.

This ground-breaking event spotlighted the exceptional dedication, skill, and competitive spirit of esports athletes. Across the region, competitive gaming communities then have the unique opportunity to shape discussions around the complexities of esports, fostering a broader appreciation among the general public and nurturing the growth of an inclusive and vibrant esports community.

Building communities around esports

In the young and dynamic Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) region, the gaming community is particularly thriving. Findings from Samsung’s SEAO Gaming Insight Study[1] note that 7 in 10 online consumers in the region are gamers, and that more than half of gamers surveyed (56%) play games more than a few times a week.

Among gamers, they can be further categorized into Gaming Enthusiasts and Hardcore Gamers, who are deeply engaged in gaming-related activities such as watching gaming-related videos, discussing gaming within their communities, and staying updated on the latest gaming news. This reflects a vibrant community of gamers among the region’s consumers.

These findings closely align with the region’s large population of millennials and Gen Zs, who often demonstrate a passion for gaming. Samsung’s innovations in advancing the user experience whether on mobile or displays, are perfectly positioned to enable the gaming passions of youth in the region, be it for casual gamers who want to stay connected with their interests, or even budding esports players with ambitions to go professional.

“Youths in our region are passionate about gaming. We are excited to support our younger audiences in pushing the boundaries of gaming, and to provide cutting-edge Galaxy devices that keep up with all the action. Our partnerships with game developers, media partners, and other industry leaders, are likewise crucial to powering up gaming experiences.” – Carl Nordenberg, Regional Head of Mobile Experience Business, Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania

“For gamers, having the right equipment can make all the difference. Our wide range of gaming monitors, such as the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 and the Odyssey Ark, are catered for every need. Whether you are an avid hardcore player or a pro esports athlete, Samsung is committed to continue innovating for all gamers.” – Leslie Goh, Head of Regional Display Solutions, Samsung Southeast Asia and Oceania

Samsung is committed to transforming the experience for every gamer, with a dedicated line-up of smartphones and monitors that offer premium, gaming-optimized features to ensure smooth visuals and precise gameplay. With gaming enthusiasts in mind, Samsung has also partnered with ONE Esports to provide Galaxy users in Southeast Asia with early access to gaming news and content on the ONE Esports mobile app.

To unite and champion the growth of gaming communities, Samsung’s Galaxy Gaming Academy is rolling out across SEAO and it has already been launched in Indonesia. Gamers of all backgrounds are invited to join as members and gain exclusive access to community-bonding activities, educational and training content, and even in-game rewards from local gaming partners.

As a long-time Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, Samsung’s innovative technologies have transformed the way the sporting community, athletes, and fans around the world communicate and share the excitement with each other. Samsung is a premium partner of the inaugural Olympics Esports Week, which took place in Singapore from 22 to 25 June 2023.

Gaming enthusiasts can catch the key event highlights and follow the action on Olympics.com and Olympic social handles using versatile and powerful devices such as the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold4, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and Galaxy A series; or choose from Samsung’s performance monitors such as the Odyssey Ark and Odyssey OLED for a truly immersive experience.

[1] Conducted in partnership with ONE Esports, over 6,800 consumers aged 18 to 49 across seven markets (Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) were surveyed in the last quarter of 2022.

Some people do movie nights, others love binging their favourite soaps, while still others are addicted to scrolling clips on TikTok. Whatever it is you choose to watch, can’t argue that big screens are the best way to watch them.

The Galaxy Tab S7 FE is your go-to device for entertainment if size matters. The 12.4” ultra-large display[1] lets you get close to the action. Enjoy bright scenes in vivid colours that’s easy on the eyes in almost any light, at a resolution of 2560×1600.

Gaming is also a pleasure on the expansive display when you can place your fingers on the screen without blocking too much of the content. In addition, the Snapdragon 778G processor and 6GB of RAM, plus 5G connectivity, runs games smooth like butter without any lag, so you can ace every level and best your opponents every single time.

Sound is also a super important element of entertainment. Hear every subtle or booming detail in immersive Dolby Atmos surround sound with dual speakers tuned by AKG. To tune out every distraction and really dive into your show, especially outdoors, pair it with the Galaxy Buds2 Pro for Active Noise Cancellation.

Did we also mention the Galaxy Tab S7 FE has a second screen feature? This means you can continue enjoying your movie or game on full screen on the Tab, while doing something else on the other device. This comes in handy, especially if you’re stuck on a gaming level and need to check walkthroughs or tutorials on a separate screen… or if you’re following a cooking channel, and want to Google something about an ingredient being used in the recipe.

Coming in at 610g and with a slim form, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE is the one you’ll reach for due to its lightness and portability. Whether you’re lounging in bed, sitting in a café, or commuting to work, this tablet can be carried around easily for non-stop entertainment. Not to mention its large 10,090mAh battery[2] ensures that you can go for days before needing to recharge.

If you’ve been scouting for the ideal entertainment device, then come check out the Galaxy Tab S7 FE. They don’t call it a Fan Edition for nothing

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd today released findings from its Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) Gaming Insight Study, which found that 7 in 10 online consumers in the region are gamers. Conducted in partnership with ONE Esports, over 6,800 consumers aged 18 to 49 across seven markets (Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) were surveyed in the last quarter of 2022[1], showing a widespread love for gaming whether at home or on-the-go.

In Malaysia, playing to de-stress and relax was cited as the top reason for gaming (75%), with an average of 7 hours a week spent on gaming. Most gamers (94%) preferred to engage in gameplay from the comfort of their home, and over half of gamers (51%) were found to spend an average of USD $30 monthly on gaming-related purchases such as exclusive online content, esports tournament tickets, streamer subscription, skins, and merchandise collectibles.

The study identified four distinct gamer personalities among gaming fans in Malaysia – Hardcore Gamers, Gaming Enthusiasts, Casual Gamers & Spectators, as well as Casual Gamers, based on their total time spent playing games and watching gaming or esports content. The study found that more than half of gamers surveyed (56%) indulge in this pastime at least a few times a week, consisting of Hardcore Gamers and Gaming Enthusiasts (See chart below).

Gaming Enthusiasts and Hardcore Gamers are highly vested in their hobby, where their top gaming-related activities include watching gaming videos, discussing gaming with others, reading gaming updates and news, spending money on gaming-related items and lastly, following gaming personalities on social media (see chart below).

Carl Nordenberg, Regional Head of Mobile Experience Business, Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania, said, “Gaming today is much more than a hobby – it is a pastime that brings people together. The Southeast Asia and Oceania region holds a huge community of gamers, and this study sheds new light on their distinct gaming needs and habits, both as players and as e-sports fans. With this understanding, we can continue empowering our Samsung users to enjoy their gaming passion to the fullest. Whether on our powerful Galaxy devices, QLED TVs or gaming monitors, Samsung provides the best gaming experience, for casual and hardcore gamers alike.”

Jane Guo, Vice President, Analytics & Insights, ONE Esports, said, “We are thrilled to have partnered with Samsung on this study, powered by our in-house first-party consumer insights. The study uncovers a huge market of gaming enthusiasts and hardcore esports fans in the SEAO region, who look for high performance and a superior gaming and viewing experience when choosing devices and accessories such as smartphones, laptops, headphones and monitors. Samsung’s range of innovative gaming devices allows them to connect with these consumers compellingly.”

For students, the personal computer is a mandatory device to complete research papers, course work and prototype designs. While laptops are an option, these are limiting to students who want to break the mould. This is why design student, Adriana, uses her Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, as she gets more innovative features beyond the constraints of a laptop to help her succeed in her studies.

With her Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, she has the flexibility to choose her multi-window layout, whether she feels like having her windows side-by-side or keeping a floating window above her split-screen layout. For better access, she can Drag & Split links, phone numbers, addresses, images and more from Samsung Internet, Samsung Notes, Office and selected apps over to the side of the screen to quickly open them in their own window.

Smart students know the importance of taking lecture notes and how it helps in information recall and keeping ideas flowing. With the new and improved Samsung Notes, Adriana has a simple and fast way to keep her notes organised and updated across all her Galaxy devices. The new landscape scroll feature on Samsung Notes also lets her scroll left and right giving her more room to write and sketch.

When she’s discussing with her team mates – online or in person – on the ever-important course project, Adriana uses the Audio-Bookmark feature on Samsung Notes to record the meeting while she jots down key points at the same time. When she needs to refer back to her notes, she can play the corresponding portion of the voice recording, so she’s on track and informed.

Have you ever wished you could turn your passion into a career?

Today’s youth are eager to forge new career paths for themselves in pursuit of purpose, passion, and flexibility. Technology has played a major role in this development, opening the door to unlimited possibilities by affording this next generation workforce the power and autonomy to make their work truly their own.

Today, we spotlight three individuals who have taken the path less travelled, and the role played by the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra in boosting productivity and optimising their work experiences across a range of interesting and unconventional career paths.

Dissecting Lives Through Handwriting

What if there was a way to look into a person’s soul without even having to speak to them? Enter the world of graphology with handwriting expert Siti Sulianah, an adept at gleaning insight into personality through the analysis of handwriting traits such as strokes, pressure and spaces.

What started off as a means of conflict resolution between friends in her youth soon grew into a calling for Sulianah, who today puts her skills to use in a professional capacity at her self-founded graphology company. On top of handwriting analysis, Sulianah provides graphotherapy services—conscious alteration to handwriting to effect desired change in personality.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, with its super-fast 4nm processor and smoothest S Pen yet, not only replicates but elevates the pen-and-paper experience. “I’m very impressed with the S Pen, which is extremely sharp in capturing tiny handwriting details that would require a magnifying glass to examine if they were written on paper,” shared Sulianah. The multi-screen functionality of the tablet also greatly streamlines her analysis process, as annotations and note-taking can be done concurrently and housed within the same device, with minimal disruption to workflow. In addition, graphotherapy consultations are made more effective with live S Pen demonstrations via video call, as compared to static image references in the past.

Bees in Need

Drizzled on pancakes or stirred into tea, honey has a way of making every sweet treat a little more delectable. For most, however, the first thought that comes to mind upon seeing a beehive is to call for pest control. This is where bee rescuer Xavier Tan hopes to shift the conversation away from bee extermination, and instead towards humane methods of bee removal.

An animal lover from a young age, Xavier grew to understand the importance of bees as a keystone species, without which the ecosystem would drastically change for the worse. He thus went on to establish a bee rescue organisation with the mission of saving the bees through conservation and educational efforts. On top of bee relocation to their gardens, the group is actively involved in raising awareness on beekeeping practices as well as methods of peaceful co-existence.

A powerful all-in-one device with a 12.4” Super AMOLED screen, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is a device Xavier never finds himself without when out on bee rescue missions. Before, during and after shots of these missions are captured with the tablet’s powerful camera, and then transformed into informative video content using the tablet’s in-built video-editing functions. “The large display size of the tablet allows me to share my content clearly and effectively with clients and visitors,” shared Xavier.

Let’s Talk… to Your Pets

Source: Ezekiel Ong

Have you ever wished you knew exactly what was going on in the head of your furry friend? For Ezekiel Ong, this tacit and intimate understanding of animals forms the basis of his work at his self-founded animal communications company, where he receives, interprets, and relays information from pets to their owners.

His first foray into the field of animal communication was driven by the need to bid a final farewell to his beloved pet that passed on. Today, Ezekiel strives to help others better understand their pets by acting as a bridge between the two. His work includes helping owners find out more about their pets’ behaviour and well-being, getting in touch with pets who have passed on, and conducting animal communication workshops.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra greatly optimises Ezekiel’s pet consultation process through the computerisation of handwritten and typewritten notes enabled by its S Pen and magnetically attached keyboard respectively. Video calls with overseas clients also go off without a hitch thanks to the tablet’s powerful processor, and stunning video and audio quality. “The tablet also allows me to carry notes and course materials around with ease, combined with a long battery life that makes lessons very efficient,” shared Ezekiel.

Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. Though the adage rings true, pursuing the path less travelled is equal parts exciting and daunting, and requires a tenacity and strength of will exemplified by Sulianah, Xavier and Ezekiel. If you’re looking to turn your passion into a profession, why not unlock your fullest potential with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra?

For the risk-taking, business-minded individual, a versatile, portable device that can manage multiple apps and programmes is a crucial tool in their arsenal. This is why go-getter entrepreneur, Thompson Goh, ditched his laptop and now relies on his Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra as his productivity powerhouse. Featuring revolutionary multitasking capabilities, powerful performance and a professional video conferencing experience, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has given him the freedom and flexibility to build his brand.

With its expansive 14.6 inch Super AMOLED display and a 120-degree Ultra-wide front camera – a first in a tablet – Thompson can experience life-like video calls that allow him to connect and engage better with his clients. The Ultra-wide front camera also boasts an impressive field of view and makes sure he’s always in shot.

If he needs to move in the room while presenting, the Auto Framing feature keeps him front and centre, as the camera automatically zooms in and out and moves with him. When another participant enters the meeting, the camera can transfer the attention of the viewer to them, so his partner can get the spotlight when needed.

Whether he is at the office, home, or on-the-go, Thompson can’t guarantee that he will find a quiet space to take an unexpected but important call. However, with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s 3 directional mic, he is able to filter out unwanted background noise by up to 50%. So he can easily and clearly get his message across.

Once he’s finished the call and needs to double down on work, Samsung DeX offers him powerful multitasking options for seamless workflow management including multiple transparent app windows and DeX screen mirroring. This experience is further enhanced when he connects to the Book Cover Keyboard – available in the box[1] – which provides multi-finger gestures control through the touchpad and dedicated function keys for more intuitive productivity.

Watch how the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has supported Thompson’s work productivity here:

[1] 1 Book Cover Keyboard with touch pad and 1 S Pen are available in the box with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S8+ and the Galaxy Tab S8.

With the largest and most immersive display, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has allowed many to discover, communicate and experience work and life differently. For three amazing individuals – an artist, a student and an entrepreneur – they have ditched their laptops and now use their Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra to get the most out of their day. From its ultimate display, to match today’s video first culture, to its seamless integration with the Galaxy ecosystem, PC-like capabilities and an S Pen that feels like pen on paper, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has helped them unleash their productivity and creativity.

The Perfect Productivity Partner for Go-Getter Entrepreneurs

For active entrepreneur Thompson Goh, communication is a key factor in the successful running of his brand. To ensure his clients are kept in the loop and can hear him crystal clear, the Ultra-wide front camera keeps him in shot and looking sharp, so he can present his ideas clearly. The Landscape-centred 14.6-inch display and Auto Framing feature greatly enhances his video calls on a range of platforms, keeping him in focus and in view – even when he moves around the room. When another person joins in the call, Auto Framing intuitively knows how to automatically zoom out to include them as well, doing away with the need to move the device around.

Taking Revision to the Next Level with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

Design student Adriana, knows the importance of capturing information during important meetings and lectures. To ensure that she does not miss out on key information, she uses the Audio Bookmark feature on Samsung Notes on her Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra to record the meeting and jot down notes simultaneously. The timeline of the voice recording and written note are in sync. So when she refers back to her notes, she can select a note or part of her notes and the corresponding portion of the voice recording will play. This lets her stay on track of her lectures and meeting discussions easily so she can focus on her course work.

Unleashing Creativity To Get Projects off the Ground

With the Clip Studio Paint app[1] comic artist, Yen Ee (Fishball) has a personal art studio in her hands. She can easily extend her creative productivity by using her Galaxy smartphone as a palette as she draws and sketches with her S Pen on the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s expansive screen. She can customise tools and choose brush options, and select vivid real-world colours from pictures she has taken on the synced phone. This gives her the creative freedom to seek inspiration from her surroundings.

For “Companion Mode,” both host and remote controller devices have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Connectivity may vary depending on Wi-Fi. Terms of service may vary by market.

Imagining stories and putting together videos is a favourite pastime for Wong Ing Wei, also known as Ren Wei. When he’s not busy at work as a primary school teacher, Ren Wei loves to craft storyboards, and create videos and content on various topics. His go-to tool is his Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra that lets him expand his creativity and boost his productivity.

An epic canvas needs an epic palette, and this is evident with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. Using the Companion mode feature, the Clip Studio Paint app on the tablet can be connected to the Galaxy S22 Ultra so he can make the most the Galaxy ecosystem. The Galaxy S22 Ultra becomes his palette to select colours and brushes while his Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra serves as his digital canvas.

“Clip Studio Paint gives me a natural and smooth sketching experience, especially for planning storyboards. I can adjust the pen pressure and stabilization settings to draw smooth and natural lines. I can even gesture with the S Pen to gain quick access and switch between tools while sketching,” said Ren Wei.

One advantage Ren Wei enjoys with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is the intuitive ecosystem that he experiences when paired with his other Galaxy devices.

“With the Galaxy’s open ecosystem I can experience seamless connectivity with my Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Buds2. If I’m watching a movie on the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra with my Galaxy Buds2 and I receive a call, the Auto Switch feature will connect to my phone to allow me to answer the call with my Buds and after ending the call, my movie will resume. I no longer need to fumble around with buttons or apps on my devices,” said Ren Wei.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has been a boon for Ren Wei for work and play, letting him experience both to the fullest. When inspiration strikes for his next video, he uses Samsung Notes to jot down ideas and insert photographs to develop a mood board.

For his class, he uses the Tab to set up online discussions with his student’s parents. The 120-degree Ultra-wide angle front camera lets his students’ parents refer to reports in the background and he can hear them clearly with the Quad Speakers with Dolby Atmos®. The Tab’s large screen also helps him with video editing.

“The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 4K recording capabilities lets me capture sharp and clear videos with both the rear camera and ultra-wide front camera. It’s 14.6-inch Super AMOLED display makes it easy for me to split the screen into multiple resizable windows. Along with its 120Hz refresh rate and quad speakers’ cinematic sound quality, I feel like I am editing videos in a studio,” said Ren Wei.

Whether Ren Wei wants to push his artistic capabilities further or multitask with ease, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has him supported with its unbeatable performance.

When he’s not diagnosing ailments or helping patients get better, Dr. Powell Roy Louis of theroytravels, is fulfilling his dream to see and absorb as much as he can through travel. His desire to explore and experience the world has taken him to far flung places and he takes his Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra with him to give him the ability to work and play while on-the-go.

“Travel allows me to understand my own strengths in terms of planning and organising, adapting to new places and appreciating people from different cultural backgrounds. Travel has also transformed me into a much more creative person despite coming from a medical background. I started making digital content from my traveling experiences by editing photos, videos and writing blogs during my past time,” said Powell.

On his recent trip to Amsterdam and London, Dr. Powell made sure work matters were still addressed by transforming the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra into a desktop with Samsung DeX.

“With Samsung DeX, the transition from entertainment to work mode is super smooth. This feature comes in a standalone manner, without having to connect to another device, that converts the interface akin to a desktop. Therefore, when I am planning to write blogs or browsing for work purposes I switch on DeX for a seamless PC-like experience,” said Powell.

The ability to open and refer to multiple windows and apps is definitely a productivity enhancer. As such, Powell found the Split View feature an ideal tool for his content creation.

“For a person who loves to listen to songs and watch videos while writing my blogs, I can easily have up to three active apps, with Split View, running simultaneously on my screen. This makes it easy for me to complete my task while browsing through my playlist without having to minimise or maximise running apps,” he added.

After a long day of touring and exploring, Powell will sometimes unwind in his hotel room by catching up on his favourite shows. For this, he uses his Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra to immerse himself in a vivid world.

“The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has certainly lived up to expectations, the big and vibrant display is surely what people want to see on a tablet. Another extraordinary feature are the Quad Speakers with built-in Dolby Atmos® sound that creates a realistic listening experience. I can now watch Netflix movies and Youtube videos on my Tab without having to compromise the feeling of watching them on a television,” said Powell.
