Loo, Sales Manager

“I’m amazed with the features on my Galaxy Z Fold4, especially the bigger screen. It has made it more enjoyable for me to play games. This is my first time using a foldable phone. The reason I purchased it was because I wanted to try something unique especially when compared with standard phones. The feature I love most is the multi-tasking function that enables me to complete a number of few tasks much faster, such as checking information while having video call with my colleague. Also, when I’m taking a photo of someone, the device lets them view the screen too, so they can see if the angle is good. It saves me a lot a time when I take photos of my other half!”

Ng Hui Ting, Works in IT

“My first impression of the Galaxy Z Flip4 is the eye-catching design and Bora Purple colour. It looks so chic when I see a celebrity using one in a drama series. My fiancé bought this device for me, as he knew I always wanted one and I am excited to be one of the first to own. With my Galaxy Z Flip4, I can multitask using my device and it’s really convenient for me to read an article and watch a drama at the same time. I love and enjoy the features, especially the front camera where I easily access it by double tapping it!

Sometimes the best apps come in twos and threes. If there are apps you find yourself using together, you can now add pairs or groups of apps to the Taskbar, allowing you to access your favorite app pairs all at once.

Multitasking features are also more intuitive and easier to interact with now thanks to new gestures.^[6] With simple swipe gestures, you can instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split your screen in half for more ways to manage your tasks.

“Wake up on the right side of the bed”, as the old saying goes. It has nothing to do with which side of the bed you roll out of, but getting enough restorative deep sleep can wake you up in pleasant mood and energy. When you welcome the morning feeling rested, and life’s little obstacles will seem manageable.

But how and what can you do to improve your Zzz’s is the question. First, it is important to inspect the causes of the sleep disturbances you often encounter. With the new Galaxy Watch4 on your wrist all night, you can easily find the solutions to your problem!

Designed to coach you to develop better sleep habits, the Galaxy Watch4 uses its Advanced Sleep[1],[2]  function to analyse your sleep quality holistically and provide you with collective data such as sleep score, sleep stages, sleep time, blood oxygen levels, and snoring[3],[4] patterns. The latest version offers a new personalised Sleep Coaching[5] program which will assign you one of eight adorable Sleep Symbol animals that best represents your sleeping type based on your sleep patterns[6].

Guiding you through four to five weeks of coaching, the Galaxy Watch4 will feed you with missions, checklists, sleep related articles, meditation guidance, and easy-to-read reports, so you can work towards refining your sleep habits strategically.

Now that you’ve learned to track sleep patterns, here are some ways the smart Galaxy Watch4 can improve your sleep hygiene.

Your bedroom should be a haven of tranquility where you can curl up and relax away from the world. If you find yourself tossing and turning a lot, not getting much deep sleep, it could mean your bedroom is too hot or cold, or you’re stressed. With the Galaxy Watch4 and SmartThings[7], it is simple to create an optimal sleep setting. You can program a pre-set time in SmartThings settings to turn off the bedroom TV or adjusts the lights and air conditioner as part of your bedtime routine. When you’re falling asleep, the Galaxy Watch4 will auto-detect it and adjust the ideal sleeping environment for you following the presets without having you to get up. By setting your bedroom in a most comfortable lighting, temperature and noise level before sleep, getting restful nights would be more achievable.

Regular exercise is profoundly beneficial to your sleep too. Try the wide range of over 90 fitness routines recommended by Galaxy Watch4 whether it’s walking, jogging, cycling or strength training. You can even make exercising more fun by challenging your social circles to move more together with Group Challenge in Samsung Health app. Every bit of exercise you commit can help you sweat your way to a cheerful day and a restful night.

With the camera technology we have today, taking good pictures in the dark is no longer an issue – just ask Joshua and Nadirah, who both put their creativity to the test with their new Galaxy S22 Series and garnered tips to share with new aspiring content makers!

Let’s hear it straight from the pros on how they use the Galaxy S22, along with all the tips for you to be the best creators you possibly can!

Be Passionate About Your Subject

“Photography is a huge form of self-expression for me, and if it can move at least one person or if someone else can resonate with my work, then I am already over the moon about that,” said Nadirah when it comes to what fuels her passion for photography. Joshua’s favourite subject are people, more specifically capturing the essence of all that is human while highlighting a person’s natural beauty is what gives his hobby purpose. Because of this, Joshua specifically enjoyed using Portrait Mode on the Galaxy S22 Series for its seamless ability to capture the best of his subjects in vivid detail.

It really doesn’t matter whether you are shooting during the day or night, the two said, as long as you find a subject – be it a person, object, or scenery – that moves you passionately for it to be the language of your emotions. They later reiterated that photography and videography are both powerful ways to tell a story and if the creator is truly aligned with their subject, they will be able to capture that special magic that speaks directly to the hearts of viewers.

Get To Know Your Tools

Another important tip when it comes to content creation is to explore the features that your camera comes with. Because let’s be honest, it’s nice to point and click but if we don’t explore around then chances are we’ll stay blind to all the useful features we have available to us, and this applies specially to understanding the full potential of your camera. All the features on your camera tells you its strength and quirks, so part and parcel of being a good creator is understanding how these tools can take your content to the next level. So, experiment as much as you need and find out what works for you!

For Nadirah and Joshua, an easy tip to dealing with the grainy night sky is of course; having ample lighting around but that wouldn’t be necessary with Nightography on the Galaxy S22 Series. This entire feature was built around creating smoother and clearer night-time footage without the unwanted distortion. So, say goodbye to extreme contrast when it comes to night scenery because this feature allows you to work around those limitations so you can capture alluring images and videos of the night.

Make Use of The Other Features on Your Phone

When it comes to content creation, the first and only thing most people think of is the camera quality but according to Joshua, there’s plenty more on a smartphone that exists to streamline projects. “With the included S Pen on the S22 Ultra, catching inspiration couldn’t be any easier,” Joshua said before expanding that he uses the S Pen on his Galaxy S22 Ultra to note ideas and build a concept for his shoots. He considered it extremely useful for pre-production research – being able to drag and drop pictures directly from the browser quickly making this his favourite way to work.

Nadirah, on the other hand, felt strongly about the long-lasting battery[1] on the Galaxy S22+ because it didn’t only allow her to shoot all day but consistently lasted long enough to wrap up with editing as well. As a busy person with a schedule that often keeps her out from early morning to late at night, the long-lasting battery coupled with the phone’s photo capabilities make her feel like she’s found the perfect digital companion to be lugging around all day.

Share It with The World!

Finally, what is a great work of art if you don’t share it with your audience? Sharing your work with the audience may seem daunting at first, but once you overcome that fear, you’re in for a whole new journey of epic content creation! “Editing my pictures directly on the Galaxy S22+ saves me the time to get them ready for instant sharing on the go,” Nadhirah smiled. She added that the device comes with great performance and power to help her edit her photos wherever and whenever.

For Joshua, speed is key. “It goes without saying that instant sharing is now the norm. People are quick to share their photos and videos instantly on various platforms,” he commented. To ensure that he’ll get to upload his work online in time, he relies on his trusty Galaxy S22 Ultra to render his videos immediately and share them online with his viewers.

You’ve locked down your muse, finally understood your tools, and other fancy features that come with it, and now, it’s time to get out there and showcase your masterpiece! Make your own rules, push the limits and prepare to produce the best content with what you have in hand to start your creative pursuits. With all these tips in mind, are you ready to start your content creating journey #withGalaxy?

With the adoption of technology, the way we connect and meet new friends or date has changed. It didn’t take long for Kelvin and Sammy to hit it off IRL after laughing over each other’s online dating profiles. This sparked the beginning of an awwspiring Galaxy love story. Kelvin, a passionate Interior Designer and Sammy, an enthusiastic Content Creator. If you do not already know, Kelvin is usually the person behind the phone of almost all of Sammy’s beautiful #withGalaxy shots (#instagramhusband). What brought these lovebirds together besides love is that they both are true blue Samsung fans. Having so much in common, they even got their hands on the Galaxy S22 Series in the same colour – Green! (#couplegoals)

Let’s go behind the scenes to see how they spend their daily lives together as a couple.

Stepping into their cozy crib, you will find yourself immersed in a wondrous ecosystem of lush imagery drawn from Samsung appliances – from TV to fridge and even washing machine. Indeed, their love for all things Samsung and Galaxy knows no bounds. Making things sweeter, Sammy surprised Kelvin with a Galaxy Watch4 Classic for his birthday, knowing how much he enjoys tracking his health and controlling their home appliances via Samsung’s SmartThings. *Hints Kelvin* Perhaps he too should get a Galaxy Watch4 for Sammy.

On a daily basis, Kelvin often sketches and doodles with his S Pen (to which he said has saved a ton of paper in the process) on his Galaxy S22 Ultra whether at work or out having a cup of coffee with his friends. Whereas for Sammy, she often finds herself taking numerous selfies and wefies (especially in the dark. Yay for Nightography and auto-framing!), plus connecting with loved ones via Google Duo on her brand new Galaxy S22.

The couple’s favourite way to unwind after a long day of work is either with a bedtime movie, catching the latest kdramas or watching funny video clips on their smartphones. How portability and long lasting battery relate, you might ask. Well, simple enough the couple said – they can roam around and continue watching while munching away in the kitchen.

Without a doubt, Kelvin and Sammy’s daily life has been enriched with the many tech innovations, allowing them to do more and spend more time together. Ready to swipe your love story with the Galaxy S22 Series? Find out more at the respective links below:

– John Lopos, CEO, National Sleep Foundation

[1]

In today’s busy world, it’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of our lives. We understand the benefits of prioritizing sleep, but the to-do list is never-ending and can cause our stress levels to go up.

This has been highlighted in a recent study from one of the world’s leading sleep organizations, the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), finding that during the pandemic, more people in the US have been sleeping longer, but the quality of that sleep has suffered.

In fact, the NSF believes one of the biggest challenges facing the public is the need to keep prioritizing sleep for our health and well-being. Embracing the continuously growing category of sleep technology can help. From smart environmental controls to smart sleep tracking, cutting-edge and evolving technologies are reinventing and improving the sleep experience for the public. Sleep technology is coming to the industry forefront as consumer brands – like Samsung – are prioritizing sleep related capabilities within their products.

To find out more about the impact sleep technology can have on improving sleep health, we sat down with NSF CEO John Lopos to take a closer look at the intersection of sleep and technology.

Managing Routines and Tracking Progress

According to the NSF’s 2022 Sleep in America® Poll, there’s significant opportunity to improve daily activities that are associated with positive sleep and health outcomes. Eating your meals at a consistent time, the amount of physical activity completed in the day, and even the level of light exposure during the day and around bedtime, all impact sleep health and are manageable.

The NSF has specific guidelines and recommendations for positive sleep health, and this, Lopos said, is where “technology can be a thread that runs through our sleep experience. It helps us as a reminder, a facilitator, a communicator and a tracker, and can play a role in helping meet the NSF’s recommendations for better sleep – both while awake and asleep.”

Keep up with your daily workout routine with Galaxy Watch4 for a good night’s sleep

Controlling Your Sleep Environment

The right kind of light exposure during the day and night can make the difference between a good night’s sleep and a restless night. With nearly 60 percent of Americans saying they look at screens very often or somewhat often in the hour before bed or while in bed before sleep, it’s no wonder sleep quality is on the decline as light from phone, laptop and TV screens can significantly impact sleep.

And while technology can be the culprit when used inappropriately, like viewing screens too close to bedtime, it can also be part of the solution. “As people prepare for sleep, technology can help establish a sleep-friendly environment, help with a wind-down process that makes people feel more calm and relaxed, and then — and this is important — take its place in the background without disrupting a person’s sleep,” noted Lopos. A good example of this is the SmartThings functionality[2] which allows users to program a pre-set time to turn off the bedroom TV and turn down the lights as part of a bedtime routine to help prepare them to sleep and create better sleeping conditions throughout the night.

Easily control your bedroom lightings with SmartThings to create a sleep-friendly environment

Adjusting Sleep Patterns

While sleep technology can play a meaningful role and help with long term health benefits, it can also help users adjust sleep patterns in the near term. Whether “springing forward” or “falling back”, Daylight Saving Time can have a significant impact on sleep. To help prepare, the NSF provides a number of tips including prioritizing natural daylight exposure, adjusting your clocks the night before the time change, and in the week leading up to a clock change, going to bed a little earlier each night to adjust your sleep schedule. The NSF also encourages the practice of relaxation techniques to help get a good night’s sleep every day, including during a time change disruption. The Galaxy Watch4 and the Samsung Health app can help with this by empowering users to manage their mindfulness through its breathing, meditation, and stress monitoring capabilities[3].

Monitor your stress level with Galaxy Watch4 and follow through the breathing guide to prepare your body for a better sleep

Better Sleep Today and Tomorrow from Samsung

It’s with this understanding of the power of sleep technology that Samsung has introduced features on the Galaxy Watch4 that are empowering users to track and meet wellness goals and help users work toward a better night’s sleep.

For example, the new sleep coaching program on the Galaxy Watch4 helps users achieve better sleep habits and achieve their sleep goals2. The Samsung program assigns one of eight sleep symbol animals representing the user’s sleep type after tracking sleep patterns over seven days and completing two related sleep surveys. Then, it guides users through a four-to-five-week coaching program that includes missions, checklists, guidance and reports to support users as they work towards improving their sleep health.

With wearable devices now a regular part of many people’s lifestyles today, tracking and understanding elements of sleep are more common than ever – and the NSF wants to see even more access to sleep technology, believing that the sleep technology industry is going to ride new waves of collaboration and knowledge sharing. “We’re going to see even more integration across wearable and connected devices, lifestyle and wellness platforms, and home goods,” Lopos affirmed. “People’s choices and feedback will confirm there’s lots of room for products and services that use sleep technology.”

The future of sleep technology is promising, and Samsung is committed to developing and enhancing their sleep offerings and capabilities with the sleep expertise of the National Sleep Foundation.

Samsung Electronics today announced a new update to the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic, continuing its commitment to helping users reach their health and wellness goals and express their personal style. Users can expect new improvements like advanced interval training designed for any cyclist or runner, a new sleep coaching program, and new body composition[1] insights. Galaxy Watch4 users will now have even more ways to customize their look with upgraded watch faces, and a new line of stylish straps.

“We understand the growing needs of smartwatch users, and are committed to guiding our Galaxy Watch4 series community on their unique wellness journeys with our latest update,” said, Janghyun Yoon, Executive Vice President and Head of Software Platform at Mobile eXperience Business, Samsung Electronics. “We are excited to continue this effort as part of our wider initiative to redefine holistic wellness through expanded experiences and new innovations.”

Motivation to Move                    

The latest body composition update gives users even more insight into their health progress. Samsung Health will also be providing body composition insights powered by Centr[2], a digital fitness program curated by Chris Hemsworth, to help users transform their health, fitness and mindset. In addition, Galaxy Watch4 users will receive a 30-day trial[3] for full and unrestricted access to Centr. 

Whether you’re just looking to get active or training for an upcoming race, Samsung’s new interval target feature for runners and cyclists lets them pre-set the duration, distance, and number of sets for their workout. From there, Galaxy Watch4 guides them through a custom intensity training session with a series of high-intensity workouts interspersed with low-intensity workouts, making for an impactful and targeted workout every time.

We are continuing our collaboration with top-ranked apps like adidas Running and Strava to help users power through their exercise.

Work Towards a Better Night’s Sleep

Building on Galaxy Watch4’s robust sleep tracking capabilities, the new sleep coaching program helps users develop better sleep habits. By tracking sleep patterns over seven days and completing two related sleep surveys, the program assigns one of eight sleep symbol animals representing the user’s sleep type. Then, it will guide users through a four to five week coaching program that includes missions, checklists, sleep-related articles, meditation guidance, and regular reports to support users as they work towards improving their sleep quality.

When it comes to waking up refreshed, a peaceful and quiet environment is key to achieving a healthy rest as well. Galaxy Watch4 recognizes when users fall asleep and automatically turns off Samsung SmartThings enabled lights to help create better sleeping conditions[4].

Deeper Insights for a Healthier Heart

Combined with the advanced BioActive Sensor technology and Samsung Health Monitor app[5], Galaxy Watch4 measures both blood pressure[6] (BP) and electrocardiogram[7] (ECG), allowing users to monitor their heart health anytime and from anywhere.

Greater Selection of Matching Straps and Watch Faces

The new Galaxy Watch4 update makes the wearable experience even better, from the inside out. Users can further customize their watch face with additional colors and digital clock fonts that make the watch truly their own. Also, new strap colors[8] such as burgundy and cream, and the new fabric band and link bracelet will be available for a more personalized look.

Committed to Expanding Compatibility within the Android Ecosystem

In 2021, Samsung and Google introduced co-developed Wear OS Powered by Samsung, bringing smoother connections across Android devices and seamless access to more apps via Google Play including Google Maps, Google Pay, and YouTube Music. Coming soon through an additional update, users will be able to stream music over Wi-Fi or LTE from the YouTube Music app on their Galaxy Watch4. This means that users can leave their phone behind and still enjoy their favorite artists as they work out on-the-go.

Users can also now install their favorite smartphone apps[9] on their Galaxy Watch4 during initial setup with one tap, creating a seamless experience across devices right out of the box.

Availability [10],[11]

This software update will be available via the Galaxy Wearable app for Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic starting the day of the Unpacked – February 10^th KST. Users can purchase the new watch straps beginning late February.
