Samsung Newsroom tested out the new, powerful Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Buds2, which together offer a tool for enjoying media content, a channel that connects you to the outside world, and a personal assistant that manages your schedule and your health.

[Question 1] Will the Galaxy Watch4 go well with any style?

A thinner design that’s seamless and flat and fits your wrist just right

A watch is an item that spends a long time on the user’s wrist. This means that a design that suits any situation or style is a must, whether it’s a casual day or a formal setting. For the Galaxy Watch4, Samsung Electronics applied a modern, stylish design with a ring shape, which is the most familiar watch shape.

The feeling of comfort was kicked up a notch with the Galaxy Watch4’s profile. Compared to the previous version, the watch has not only gotten thinner, but it also comes with a flat display that sits flush against the user’s wrist. The smooth form, created by the harmony of the screen, body and strap, amplifies the device’s ‘clean’ design. The matte texture of the device adds to its modern vibe.

When you want to clearly express your uniqueness, the simplest and most effective way is to change the watch strap. Samsung offers a colorful lineup of straps, so you can create your own unique style.

It’s also very easy to swap a strap. Simply slide the band’s spring bar to one side to remove the strap. To replace it, simply place the side of the strap without the spring bar into the lug and slide the spring bar inward to connect it. Unlike previous versions, in which strap size differed by lineup, the Galaxy Watch4 series’ straps are all standardized to 20mm.

[Question 2] How has the Galaxy Watch4’s Wearable Ecosystem expanded?

Featuring One UI Watch and Wear OS Powered by Samsung, the Galaxy Watch4 functions like it’s one with your smartphone

Because we use up to dozens of apps per day, the Galaxy Watch4 features even more enriched apps with a new unified smartwatch platform in collaboration with various industry leading partners. Tap the Google Play icon on the home screen and you’ll see various categories of apps, including ‘Applications from Your Phone’, ‘Recommended Applications’, ‘Audio Streaming’, ‘Clock Applications’ and more. You can quickly find the app you’d like to use.

The Galaxy Watch4 series comes with a new OS and One UI Watch, which adds more seamless experiences to the Galaxy ecosystem. When users install an app on their smartphone that is compatible with the Galaxy Watch4, the app will be automatically installed on their Galaxy Watch4 as well. If users block a call or message on their Galaxy Watch4, that call or message will be automatically blocked on their smartphone too. As such, changing app settings on one device will immediately cause the same changes to be made on the other device, creating a consistent user experience.

The Galaxy Watch4 also offers users a seamless camera experience. When users tap the icon for the app that acts as a camera shutter, their smartphone’s camera app will automatically open. The watch can be used as a viewfinder for the camera, which comes in handy when taking pictures from multiple angles. For example, let’s say you have to take a group photo with your Galaxy Z Flip3. Simply place the device down and use the camera viewfinder on your Galaxy Watch4 to frame your photo. After that, simply tap the button on your smartwatch to take a nice, natural photo.

Want to easily control music or videos that are being played on your smartphone? The Galaxy Watch4’s Media Control feature allows you to do just that. To access it, head to the Settings menu in the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone and choose Display. Once there, turn on the ‘Automatically open the media control’ feature. Once you’ve done that, the content you play on your smartphone will simultaneously play on your watch’s screen. You can also use this feature to change songs or adjust the volume.

[Question 3] How can I customize my Galaxy Watch4?

Make your watch your own with custom-made watch faces and detailed fitness data

Whether it’s with the messaging application, calendar or media player, the Galaxy Watch4 is there for your every moment. The device can be customized to fit your lifestyle. When you swipe left from the main screen, various tiles will appear. Tapping on that screen for a few seconds will enable editing. It’s very useful because you can arrange the order of the widgets by prioritizing the most frequently used ones in your daily life and instantly removing the ones you don’t use.

The watch face that users choose clearly expresses their unique characteristics. Tap on the home screen for a few seconds and you’ll see various types of watch faces appear. You can choose one of the premade options or tap the ‘Get started’ button to customize the watch face’s style, colors, complications and more. If you’d like to edit your selection more closely, you can open the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone and continue editing on a larger screen.

Many users who enjoy playing various sports and are interested in health know how important body composition is. Samsung has reflected this need by introducing a new Samsung BioActive Sensor in the Galaxy Watch4. Users can instantly measure various health indicators with a single sensor on their wrist.

To use it, launch the ‘Body Composition’ tile and tap the button to start measuring. Then, place your middle and ring fingers on the two buttons on the side to check your skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, body water percentage, total body fat and more. It’s good to not only understand your body on a deeper level, but also set up goals and manage your health by consistently taking measurements.

If you’d like to better understand your body and monitor your condition, then it would be a good idea to take a look at the Sleep function. If you go to bed wearing the Galaxy Watch4 with the Blood Oxygen During Sleep feature turned on, you’ll be provided with a detailed graph of your blood oxygen levels while you were asleep. If you snore often, then the Snoring Detection feature will come in handy as well. If you go to sleep with your watch with the feature turned on, the watch will not only detect and measure your snores, but it can also record them as well. Using this comprehensive health management feature, you can record your daily physical activities and keep yourself motivated.

[Question 4] Can the Galaxy Watch4 keep up with my busy day?

Usability has been significantly enhanced with processor, display and memory upgrades.

In order to support users’ various lifestyles, a smartwatch needs to offer a smooth and error-free user experience. The Galaxy Watch4 series delivers seamless usability by offering 10x better GPU performance than the previous version, as well as 20 percent better CPU performance and 50 percent better RAM. When scrolling from top to bottom or swiping right from the home screen, and even when using multiple apps at the same time, the watch functions smoothly without any glitches.

Because we look at our watch’s screen more than a dozen times per day, the resolution and definition of the display are important as well. The resolutions of the 44mm Galaxy Watch4 model and the 46mm Galaxy Watch4 Classic model have been enhanced to 450 x 450 pixels to offer a differentiated experience. In addition, the built-in memory for each model has been expanded to 16GB to enable users to store as many apps, songs and photos as they like. The watches support fast charging as well, which means that a full charge provides up to 40 hours of use, while a 30-minute charge provides up to 10 hours of use. With the fast-charging feature, you can use your watch all day without worrying about it turning off.

[Question 5] Can the Galaxy Buds2 accentuate your look like a piece of jewelry?

The lightest model in the Buds series yet, the Galaxy Buds2 fit perfectly in your ears with their compact size.

The Galaxy Buds2 have become even smaller and lighter to suit users’ dynamic lifestyles. Each earbud weighs just five grams, which makes the Galaxy Buds2 the lightest model in the Buds series so far. If you look at the glossy white case while it’s closed, you’ll notice a thin line of color that matches that of the earbuds. Unlike the exterior, the interior of the case is made of a matte material, accentuating the earbuds’ modern charm.

[Question 6] Are the Galaxy Buds2 comfortable for long-term use?

With multiple ear tip sizes and an earbud fit test, the Galaxy Buds2 are designed to fit snugly in your ears.

When you are traveling long distances or would like to concentrate on something, earphones are essential. The most important aspect when it comes to earphones is comfort. After all, if you’re wearing them all day, you want them to be as comfortable as possible. Samsung offers a total of three earbud tip sizes with the Galaxy Buds2, so you can choose the size that fits your ears just right.

After choosing the right ear tip size, it’s time to test them out. This is important because if you don’t wear earbuds properly, outside noise might be able to seep through. The Galaxy Wearable app’s Earbud Fit Test feature makes it easy to ensure a proper fit. Once you put the earbuds on and start the test, you’ll hear a short song. If the fit isn’t right, then the app will tell you to “Try adjusting your (left or right) earbud or changing the ear tip,” and it will show you how to put them on again. You can adjust the fit by changing the ear tip size or pushing the earbuds further into your ears. When the earbuds fit well, the words “Good fit” will appear on the screen. You can then enjoy the best sound quality.

[Question 7] From enjoying content to voice calls, how much has Samsung enhanced the Galaxy Buds2’s performance?

Utilize colorful features that can help you concentrate on sounds wherever you are.

Sometimes, when you’re taking public transportation or walking outside, you just want to focus on your music. The Galaxy Buds2’s Active Noise Cancellation feature blocks unnecessary noises to allow users to focus on listening to their favorite content. Using the Active Noise Cancellation feature when next to a busy road makes it possible to enjoy an immersive experience.

With the Galaxy Buds2, there’s no need to talk louder when making a call in a noisy place. That’s because the Galaxy Buds2 feature three microphones and a voice pick-up unit that remove noise so the person on the other line can hear you clearly even when you’re talking in a place with lots of wind or echo. If you usually use the Active Noise Cancellation feature, you can choose to turn it off if you don’t want to use it while talking on the phone. Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone and turn on ‘Use Ambient sound during calls’. If you usually use the Active Noise Cancellation feature, the earbuds will switch to ambient sound mode to enhance your phone calls with sound that feels natural.

For those times when you want to listen to music while working or when you don’t want to miss an announcement when using public transportation, it’s a good idea to customize your earbuds’ noise controls and decide just how much ambient noise you’d like to hear. If you head to ‘Earbuds settings’ in the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone, you’ll be able to calibrate how much ambient sound you’d like to hear through each earbud. You can also adjust the softness or clearness of the ambient sound, which can be useful adjustments for different situations.

There’s also a feature that allows you to adjust the volume to your liking while watching content. To do so, go to the Galaxy Wearable app’s Labs menu and turn on ‘Double tap earbud edge’. To lower the volume, double tap the edge of the left earbud. To raise the volume, double tap the edge of the right earbud. This will be easier to understand if you imagine yourself tapping on the tragus in the inner part of your ear. This feature can be useful throughout your day, as it allows you to easily control the volume without taking out your smartphone.

[Question 8] How has Samsung strengthened the Galaxy Buds2’s connectivity within the Galaxy Ecosystem?

Enjoy smooth transitions between devices with Auto Switch, and connect the Galaxy Buds2 to the Galaxy Watch4 to customize settings.

If you use various Galaxy devices, such as a smartphone, smartwatch and tablet, then Auto Switch, which allows the Galaxy Buds2 to automatically alternate between devices, can be very useful. With this feature, the Galaxy Buds2 can be instantly paired to each Galaxy device without having to go through the hassle of connecting or disconnecting the earbuds from each one. Let’s say you were watching a lecture on your Galaxy Tab when someone called you on your Galaxy Z Flip3. In that case, your Galaxy Buds2 would automatically switch to your smartphone to allow you to take the call. After the call, the earbuds would switch back to being connected to the Galaxy Tab, so you could continue what you were doing without interruption.

You can also adjust Galaxy Buds2 settings on your Galaxy Watch4. Simply launch the Galaxy Watch4’s Buds Controller app and you’ll be able to view your earbuds’ status and adjust various settings. You can turn noise cancellation on or off, change touch control settings, and even view how much battery your earbuds have at any time, allowing you to enjoy a smarter wearable experience.

▲ This beautiful Korean landscape known as the Awesome Savanna, one of the locations featured in the BTS music video ‘Spring Day’, was scouted by location manager Taeyoung Kim

An essential element to bringing a movie or TV show’s characters and narrative to life is the background that is shown behind them. When the location of the characters’ life and events are vivid, an audience is automatically more naturally drawn into the story. In essence, the perfect space can serve as a canvas on which a narrative is painted.

Taeyoung Kim is the first Korean location manager, who over the past 20 years has scouted many beautiful spaces for all kinds of classic productions. In his journeys to find the perfect spots, Kim’s Galaxy Z Fold3 has become his trusted partner, so Samsung Newsroom tagged along on Kim’s latest road trip to discover some new shoot locations with the help of Galaxy Z Fold3.

The Secret Formula to Scouting the Perfect Scene for a Shot

“All spaces have stories:” this is Taeyoung Kim’s philosophy. Kim understands that, wherever a place may be, it is drenched with the traces of the people who have been there over the ages. Kim’s job as a location manager is to discover the story that a space holds and then bring new value to that space. In order to find those special spaces capable of bringing a scene to life, he has traveled more than 800,000km – the equivalent of 20 journeys around the Earth – and accumulated more than 3 million photos for location scouting purposes.

As soon as Kim receives a scenario, he pictures the scenery he wishes to find in his head. After running through tens of thousands of different combinations in his mind, he begins to search for the right places. In the past, he would carry 7 to 8 atlases around with him at all times – to the point where they became torn and worn out. Then, he would have to take photos of each space using a heavy camera and subsequently have to get those photos printed for meetings. Luckily, with his introduction to Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Z Fold3, these inconveniences are now a thing of the past.

Not only has Kim been able to switch out his heavy-duty camera for a high-resolution camera, but he has also been able to conveniently note, record and share potential locations using navigation, GPS and real-time location sharing on his Galaxy Z Fold3. Kim has been using Galaxy smartphones since the release of the Galaxy Note3, and these days harnesses the Galaxy Z Fold3 for his work. “With my Galaxy smartphones, I have been able to significantly cut down the time and cost it takes to discover a location,” said Kim. “I am now able to solely focus on the space and the scenario I am looking for by simply holding up my smartphone in one hand instead of having to carry around heavy equipment such as a camera and a tripod.”

Galaxy Z Fold3, the Perfect Partner for Taeyoung Kim’s Scouting Journeys

A location scouting trip is all about discovering the optimal place to match the scenario formed already in Kim’s head. To ensure a successful trip, Kim has a selection of essential items that he always keeps with him in his bag. The latest addition to this list of items is his Galaxy Z Fold3, which has replaced his previous duo of a Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S7. In addition to his smartphone, Kim carries with him his Galaxy Book Flex Alpha, an external hard drive, a scenario book, a drone device, snacks for the trip and a distance measuring device.

Packing and transporting his equipment when heading out on scouting missions has become much simpler for Kim since he acquired his Galaxy Z Fold3. Thanks to the Galaxy Z Fold3, Kim is able to take photos of a location and examine them at a wide angle in a single frame using the device’s large screen, a functionality he previously enjoyed when using the ultra-wide lens of his Galaxy S21 Ultra. In addition, when it comes to exploring more precarious places, such as valleys or cliffs, with Galaxy Z Fold3, all Kim needs to do is hold up his smartphone. “Thanks to the small and lightweight nature of the device, as well as its high-performing camera, I can record the places I have visited without ever having to worry about missing a spot,” noted Kim. “The whole process has been made so much more convenient with the Galaxy Z Fold3.”

Furthermore, as Kim is reviewing an image on the expansive screen of his Galaxy Z Fold3, he is also able to make notes of any relevant information – such as location details, hazardous factors, usable space, dimensions and more – with his S Pen on the spot. This ability to take notes immediately on his smartphone has enabled Kim to capture any inspiration that comes to him when viewing a location as it happens. “Applying cinematic elements to a photo I have taken of a potential location requires some explanation,” explained Kim. “Being able to include figures or other images in these pictures makes it much easier for people to understand my train of thought; my Galaxy Z Fold3 and S Pen have come in extremely useful when it comes to sharing my location scouting images with cinematographers, art directors and producers.”

Once Kim has finished his ideation process and is ready to scout out a location, all that’s left is to embark on is the journey itself. With the Galaxy Z Fold3, all this means doing is entering the location into the navigation system – and off he goes.

In order to learn more about Kim’s location scouting process, optimized by the Galaxy Z Fold3, take a look at the ‘Voices of Galaxy’ video below.

Samsung Malaysia Electronics and KLFW takes center stage at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

Embodying the pinnacle of function and fashion, the bold new entries to the Samsung Galaxy Z Series have been turning heads at global fashion events worldwide, beginning from New York, to London, Milan, Paris, and now, at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW). Samsung’s aim was to shatter expectations this year by showcasing the flagship devices at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur alongside 16 curated looks inspired by its iconic Galaxy Z Series, designed by renowned industry veterans Kit Woo and Rizman Ruzaini, which were paraded down the runway on 5 and 7 November, respectively.

“Our devices play a vital role in bridging the path towards recovery in today’s fast-paced world, for example, enabling human collaboration during a global pandemic. Therefore, Samsung proudly teamed up with fashion savants Kit Woo and Rizman Ruzaini to bring the Galaxy vision to life at KLFW through a collection of meticulously designed pieces to commemorate this new era of openness, innovation, and expression,” stated Elaine Soh, Chief Marketing Officer of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Elaborating on how technology pushes boundaries to shape the future through collaborative innovation, Kit Woo and Rizman Ruzaini shared how the Galaxy Z Series empowered and inspired them to step out of the box to create a truly progressive collection for KLFW in-line with what the Galaxy Z Series is all about:

Kit Woo from NOT JUST A LABEL showcasing his collection at KLFW

“The sleek look and bold colours of the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, Galaxy Watch4, and Galaxy Buds2 were the main source of inspiration for this collection. While my comfort zone was in all-black, the loud colours of the foldables challenged me to innovate and create the unimaginable out of the ordinary,” said Kit Woo of ‘NOT JUST A LABEL’. “I was excited to experiment with new materials, cuts, and concepts for this collection. Not only that; I also began looking for new ways to express my DNA through creativity, which these devices played a pivotal part in cementing. I believe technology is the key to greatly moving the fashion industry forward.”

Kit Woo’s collection effortlessly captures the bold and daring attitude of the Galaxy Z Series

“If I were to pick three words to describe the foldables design, it would be bold, versatile, and stylish. Without a doubt, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is a conversation starter because of its remarkable and elegant form factor. The Galaxy Z Series is definitely a wow factor on its own, inspiring my designs, and it resonates well with my personality,” Kit Woo added.

Rizman Ruzaini visiting the Samsung Experiential Pop-Up Booth at KLFW

“Our first encounter with the Galaxy Z Series was love at first sight if not a bit overwhelming because of how unique they looked,” said designers Rizman Ruzaini. “The aesthetics brought back the nostalgia of our earlier days where clamshell phones were the trend, yet Samsung has taken this novel form factor to a whole new level with the device’s stylistic finish.”

Rizman Ruzaini’s collection expressed the graceful and avant-garde personality of the Galaxy Z Series

“Fashion-forward would be the best way to describe the Galaxy Z Series. To us, Samsung revived the foldables phenomenon which completely changes how we visually express ourselves. Samsung has set a new standard for the tech-industry through the beautifully designed and engineered Galaxy Z Series, and we see plenty of opportunity to marry both fashion and tech in future collections moving forward. Definitely something to look forward to in 2022!” Rizman Ruzaini added.

Here is a look at some of the new features coming to the Galaxy Watch4 series:

Your Watch Face, Exactly How You Want It

With more watch faces and complications to choose from, the latest update enables you to build the perfect watch face to match your personality and fit into your lifestyle.

Now, you have four new faces to choose from – so you can see whatever information you tend to check the most with just a glance at your wrist. If you’re committed to smashing your fitness goals – or just want to keep an eye on your health stats – you can customise the new Info Brick watch face with the stats you care about the most, from heartrate and stress to daily activity status. Or, you can choose a watch face that displays in-depth weather forecast, a basic dashboard, or live wallpapers inspired by Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 – all of which can also be customised.

Complications are a great way to quickly access important information at-a-glance and launch the apps you use the most. Now, you can mix and match up to four complications to display on your Animals watch face – from battery life to reminders, messages, your step count and much more. You can now also choose a moving GIF for your My Photo+ watch face, rather than just a static photo, to create more exciting and lively watch faces that are completely unique to you.

The update also brings more playful animations to your Steps Challenge watch face for keeping track of how you’re doing in your step challenge – that will help keep you feeling motivated. An animated bear will follow you for every step of your competition – from stretching before you start a challenge to cheering when you win.

More Convenience with Added Gesture Control

Gesture controls enable you to do more using simple hand movements. In addition to moving your forearm up and down twice to receive calls and rotating your wrist twice to reject calls or dismiss alarms, the update includes a new hand motion that can act as a helpful shortcut to activate a chosen app or feature. By doing a simple ‘knock, knock’ motion with your wrist, you can open a pre-selected app, open the list of workouts, turn on a light or even create a new reminder. You can access an app or feature – your favorite or most frequently used – all without lifting a finger or pressing a button.

Keep Yourself or Loved Ones Safe with Improved Fall Detection

First introduced to the Galaxy smartwatch line in 2020, Fall Detection was capable of recognizing if the wearer had fallen down during exercise. Now, on the Galaxy Watch4 you can opt to adjust the sensitivity so that it is capable of detecting a fall even when you’re standing still[2]. Plus, Galaxy Watch4 can send out an SOS notification to up to four pre-selected contacts – helping you to take care of yourself and your loved ones.

On top of that, you can enjoy a 60-day free Strava subscription – just for Galaxy Watch users[3]. Get the most out of your Galaxy Watch with the Strava app. Train smarter and stay motivated with enhanced workout analysis, training plans, safety features and more.

Read on to find out four reasons why the Galaxy Watch4 Series makes for the ultimate workout companion!

Test your limits with group challenges

It’s a situation familiar to most of us: After a long day of working or studying, the fatigue sets in, and the temptation to skip a workout in favor of watching our favorite TV shows creeps in. When facing such scenarios, there’s nothing like moral support from our social circles to keep us going.

With Group Challenges available on your Galaxy Watch4 Series, you can track your steps against that of your friends and loved ones, and keep each other motivated through a message board[1] and leaderboard that tracks each member’s progress. This is also updated in real time, so you can track your group’s progress live!

You can even get creative by challenging each other in different ways. For example, the person in the family who has accumulated more than 8,000 steps over three consecutive days can get an additional scoop of ice cream. And if you happen to be working out with colleagues, why not recognize the most active co-worker for the month with a medal and shopping vouchers?

Discover the best of both worlds with Tizen and Google integration

True to Samsung’s user-first commitment, the Galaxy Watch4 Series features Wear OS Powered by Samsung – a new platform built by Samsung and Google. Available for the first time on the Galaxy Watch4 Series, Wear OS combines the best of Samsung’s Tizen operating system (OS) with Google’s Wear OS, letting users tap into an expansive ecosystem right from their wrists.

Here are just some of the many ways you can supercharge your workouts with Wear OS:

• Explore new running, hiking and cycling routes conveniently on your wrist with Google Maps, featuring turn-by-turn directions sent from phone to smartwatch.

• Stream music according to the mood of your workout on built-in music apps like Spotify or YouTube Music without having to bring your phone along with you[2]!

Enjoy seamless integration with the Galaxy Buds2

For many of us, music sets the stage for a fulfilling workout – from heart-pumping house music to stay energized for a high-intensity workout, to therapeutic jazz music that calms one down during a yoga session.

The Galaxy Buds2 comes equipped with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), which cuts external background noise by up to 98%[3] [4], making it the perfect companion to the Galaxy Watch4 Series when you’re trying to get in the zone during a workout.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Buds2’s Ambient Mode lets you choose from three levels of ambient sound, all with just a tap on the Galaxy Watch4 – perfect for moments when you still want to be connected to your surroundings during your fitness regime. That way, you can still listen to your favorite music while talking to your friends during a group run, for instance.

The Galaxy Buds2 also has a battery life of up to 5 hours in ANC mode and 15 hours more with a fully charged buds case[5] – so you’re covered even on longer workout days.

Advanced Health Tracking Features

Being able to access vital health data helps us affirm that we are reaping the benefits of regular exercise. It also serves as a good reminder to get up and keep active.

The Galaxy Watch4 Series takes remote health data to the next level, featuring a ground-breaking BioActive Sensor that reads blood oxygen level[6], and for the first time, calculates body composition[7].

Indeed, having a companion like the Galaxy Watch4 can certainly be a useful push for many of us to lead more active and healthier lifestyles!
