Did you know that the last Wednesday of every September is National Women’s Health and Fitness Day? It’s a special day dedicated towards encouraging regular physical activity and health awareness amongst women. Though it’s originated from the United States, let’s join in on the celebration here in Malaysia too since it’s a great movement to inspire the women we love to prioritize their health!

If you’re looking for a perfect day to awaken your inner vitality and resume your fitness regime, mark 28^th September 2022 on your calendar. Here are some things you can do with Samsung Health to celebrate the day:

Explore New Workout Routines and Adventures

Maintaining a steady passion for exercise means occasionally going creative and introducing new adventures into your routines. From Pilates to kickboxing and cycling, sign up for an adrenaline rush workout class at your nearest fitness centres. The Galaxy Watch 5 can track^[1] up to 90 kinds of workout modes, allowing you to view real-time data right on your wrist. The Samsung Health app also provides over 120 variety of online fitness programs by experts so you can spice up your routines in the comfort of your own home.

If you own the latest Galaxy Watch5 Pro, bring your fitness adventure outside to go biking or hiking! The exclusively built-in GPS guidance features – Route Workout^[2], Turn-by-turn Directions, and Track Back^[3] – will help you navigate safely and track your routes so you may explore new areas without fear of getting lost. When you start a fitness Group Challenge^[4] in Samsung Health with your friends, it becomes even more exciting!

Have A Quick Screen on Your Health (Body Composition)

Use this Women’s Health & Fitness Day as a reminder for you to check on your health and fitness level! If you own the Galaxy Watch5 Series, you can enjoy the quickest way (seconds!) to get a complete snapshot of your body composition analysis. Simply position your hands to your Galaxy Watch5 like the photo above, you’ll be able to find out precise analysis of your body composition – skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, body water and more.

To help you take better control of your health, Samsung Health will then tailor an end-to-end fitness coaching experience that goes beyond fitness activities – including setting body composition targets, recommending workout schedules, guiding through personalised routines, as well as empowering users with daily motivational tips, follow-up reminders and recovery data. Keeping up with your body composition is the first step in transforming your health and fitness to all you desire!

Be Mindful Of How Clean You Eat

Knowing what you eat is another initial step in enhancing your health and fitness. And, food intake tracking is an area where gears like the Galaxy Watch5 and Samsung Health excel. They make it simple to monitor all the nutrients you consume and comprehend your dietary patterns. Spend ten minutes everyday to plan your three main meals – breakfast, lunch, and dinner – and set an alert on your smartwatch to remind you to take decent meals.

Allow Time for Recharging and Self-Care

Today’s overpacked schedules can send anyone into a tailspin, which is why it’s important to practice self-care on the daily. To recharge, try Samsung Health’s various premium mindfulness contents that will help you be more relaxed and present – and you can do them in 10 minutes or less. Powered by Calm, there are three kinds of guided mindfulness activities you can indulge on which are meditation, bedtime stories and music. Different people have different ways to self-care. If you’re interested in calming self-care that can refresh your mental, emotional and physical state, make sure to follow Samsung Health’s guided meditation on this day!

“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.

The power behind your next best day, Galaxy Watch4.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip has brought the clamshell form factor back in trend, showing how a modern and powerful smartphone can be fashionable, fun and still functional all at once.

The new Galaxy Z Flip3 5G has taken the clamshell smartphone – that has since amassed legions of fans across the world – to the next level. As Samsung’s most stylish phone yet, the Galaxy Z Flip3 boasts an improved seamless design, characterized by a new 1.9-inch Cover Screen.

Your pocket dressing buddy

It’s a common occurrence for most of us – you’re at the door, all dressed up and ready to go, but just need the final assurance that your look is flawless.

Sure, you can hold up your smartphone and rely on the selfie camera – but that leaves one awkward hand to do all the touching up.

If you ever need a quick and discreet touch-up when you’re out and about, simply press the lock button twice to activate the selfie camera on the Cover Screen without even opening the Flip.

Your entertainment buddy

With enhanced Sweeper technology that protects your device from dust and other particles to maintain device durability, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G also features an IPX8 water resistance[4], so you can now bring the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G along for pool and beach days too!

Your ‘mini’ laptop

When you need to be productive, the folded design of the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G instinctively lends itself to multi-tasking with different apps on the top and bottom screen when the device is folded. With Multi-Active Window[5], you can now multi-task like a pro.

“To unlock the full potential of these wearables, we’re leveraging our long legacy of mobile innovations and our partnerships with trusted industry leaders who have grown with us in our open ecosystem,” said Patrick Chomet, EVP and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through these efforts, we will enrich our smartwatch experience and convenience of the Galaxy ecosystem for our consumers.”

One UI Watch together with the new unified platform will create an entirely new Galaxy Watch experience. As part of the new experience, once you install watch-compatible apps on your smartphone, they will be swiftly downloaded onto your smartwatch. If you’ve customized your clock app on your phone to show the time in different cities around the globe, this will be automatically reflected on your watch as well. And if you block calls and messages from your watch, they will now be blocked on your smartphone, too.

The unified platform will open up new features and integrations with popular third-party apps available to download from Google Play directly on your Galaxy Watch. So, whether you’re a sports and fitness fanatic who wants to get more out of apps like Adidas Running, GOLFBUDDY Smart Caddie, Strava and Swim.com, a wellness seeker who wants to live a more balanced lifestyle with apps like Calm or Sleep Cycle, a music lover who revels in discovering new artists on Spotify and YouTube Music, or an intrepid explorer ready to roam with Google Maps—there’s something for everyone, thanks to a diverse range of partners.

“Samsung and Google have a long history of collaboration and whenever we’ve worked together, the experience for our consumers has been dramatically better for everyone,” said Sameer Samat, Vice President of Product Management, Android and Wear, Google. “That certainly holds true for this new, unified platform, which will be rolling out for the first time on Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch. In collaboration with Samsung, we’re thrilled to bring longer battery life, faster performance, and a wide range of apps, including many from Google to a whole new wearable experience.”

In addition, Samsung will bring an improved watch face design tool, making it easier than ever for designers to create new watch faces. Later this year, Android developers will be able to unleash their creativity and release fun, new designs that will be added to Samsung’s ever-growing collection of watch faces to give consumers even more options for customizing their smartwatches to suit their mood, activity and personality.

The new Galaxy Watch will be the first-ever device to feature One UI Watch and the new, unified platform, which is scheduled to be announced at Samsung’s Unpacked event later this summer. Stay tuned for the new Galaxy Watch and much more.

Samsung Newsroom sat down with the Digital Cockpit Lab from Samsung’s Automotive Electronics Business Team to learn how they brought the car of the future into a reality.

The Digital Cockpit Connects Our Lives

The cockpit is the dashboard of the car in front of the driver and the passenger seat. A ‘Digital Cockpit’ is a platform that comes with the latest digital technology which takes the overall in-vehicle system to the next level. With Samsung’s latest Digital Cockpit 2019, the new platform provides full vehicle control for drivers and a variety of tailored content to the passengers as well.

In today’s world, the car is more than just a mode of transportation — it is a space that connects different parts of our lives together. Surprisingly, you will be able to use all of these features in the near future.

At home, you start the car and adjust the temperature in your car from your living room via Galaxy Home.

Once everyone gets in, your car starts to play tailored content for each passenger with face recognition technology.

The car also informs you of possible danger by scanning moving objects and tries to prevent dangerous situations from happening like when the driver dozes off while driving.

On the move, you can even check what’s inside your home refrigerator via the car system, in order to prepare for the evening’s dinner.

“If your destination is a soccer field, the car transforms itself into the soccer field by playing soccer game content while you are on the go,” said JH Yun, digital circuit designer from the Samsung Digital Cockpit Lab. “The volume of content that you can enjoy in your car will expand naturally. What we need to do is to create an optimal environment for you to enjoy that content in your car.”

A feature called ‘Home to Car’ is an example of the leading-edge innovation featured in the Digital Cockpit. The function allows customers to control their cars at home through the SmartThings app. “One of the biggest advantages the connected vehicle offers is that there are no spatial constraints,” said Junhong Kim, software developer. “You can start the car, check the gas level and more, regardless of your distance from the vehicle. We are ready for the next generation of mobility.”

When your hands are on the wheel to control your driving safely, a voice command can be the best alternative when you are interacting with your car. Bixby, Samsung’s AI platform, has been integrated into the Digital Cockpit undergoing a transformation in order to fit into the vehicle environment.

“We conducted voice command tuning and adjusted it to the vehicle environment by enhancing the icon and font size so that a driver can see them well while they are driving,” said Jonghee Choi, user interface developer. “And an increased interoperability with third-party services offers a wide range of information like weather forecast and flight schedule from your seat.”

No Matter Where You Sit, the Car Provides You with the Best Experience

While the previous Digital Cockpit had three displays, the 2019 version has a total of six displays delivering tailored infotainment to all passengers. For instance, passengers in the back seat will also be able to enjoy tailored content from their own screens.

“All of the displays will enable you to enjoy high resolution videos in your car without hassle,” said Wonhee Jo, hardware circuit designer. “Not only that, the back-seat screens can be folded conveniently into the seats when they are not in use.”

The screens can also recognize your face wherever you sit and suggest content based on the preferences of pre-registered passengers in which they can activate or deactivate the feature.

“It’s amazing because you can enjoy your in-vehicle experience seamlessly even if you sit in a different seat,” said Seungwoo Shin, user experience designer. “Each passenger can enjoy different content, or they can just sync all of the screens to enjoy the same content, as if they were watching it from the living room of their homes.”

“The experience of each passenger can be managed for each seat,” said Daesoo Choi, human interface developer. “The passengers can make detailed adjustments such as the height, angle and temperature of each seat or the screen’s brightness.”

When a vehicle is equipped with various sophisticated technologies, the challenges increase. One of the challenges had to do with the number of buttons. Not only were the least used buttons taking up space, they were also ineffective. So, the team solved the problem with a knob. “We got a hint from a knob on the Samsung Galaxy Watch when we were thinking about ways to fuse analog nostalgia with the digital world. And we solved the problem with a single knob that can serve as the functions of various buttons,” said JH Yun, digital circuit designer. “This year’s Digital Cockpit will also have knobs in the back seat that can be activated according to the user’s preference.”

Nine Cameras Cover Every Direction, Ensuring Safety on the Road

A car must assure the safety of its driver and passengers. In order to support safe driving, the Digital Cockpit 2019 is equipped with a total of nine cameras.

The Digital Cockpit features a ‘Mirror Replacement Vision System (MRVS)’ that replaces side-view mirrors in conventional cars. The system consists of two displays on both sides and it helps safer driving by detecting moving objects in the rear when the driver checks behind them. By utilizing the camera technology, Digital Cockpit 2019 ensures safer driving with a wider viewing angle.

The Digital Cockpit also monitors the driver’s condition through a system that tracks the driver’s pupils to detect drowsy eyes or careless driving. “The Driver Monitoring System is an essential technology for autonomous driving in the near future,” said Seungwon Oh, camera system developer.

Drivers can sometimes miss the system alert while they are looking ahead when they are on the road. To prevent this from happening, the Digital Cockpit 2019 provides additional alerts. “We’ve added a vibration alert by using the Samsung Galaxy Watch on your wrist,” said Oh.

In the next installment in this series, we will go behind-the-scene stories on the team’s close collaboration and its continuous efforts to connect our lives will be disclosed. Stay tuned.
