#DidYouKnow that monetary scams have been on the rise? Based on the data from the Malaysia Computer Emergency Response Team (MyCERT), fraud incidents accounted for an average of 63% of reported cases between January 2023 and April 2024. This growing prevalence of monetary scams highlights the need for secure banking apps and reliable tech to keep your information safe.

Banks are doing their part by rolling out regular app updates to tackle these security risks. They frequently introduce updates that include security patches for their banking apps to ensure your transactions and sensitive information are well-protected. But as a consumer, you may be asking yourself, “What phone has the long-term security?”

With the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G, you get 4 generations of Operating System (OS) upgrades and 5 years of Security Maintenance updates^[1]. The OS upgrades ensure your phone can support the apps, features, and user interfaces, keeping it up-to-date. Meanwhile, security maintenance updates protect your phone from threats by patching vulnerabilities and safeguarding your personal information from malware or cyber-attacks. Combined with Samsung Knox, which offers real-time protection through hardware and software integration, you have a device that delivers performance and peace of mind.

This robust security isn’t just for personal use. Public Bank (PBB) also trusts Samsung Knox to safeguard their digital banking services. Through their collaboration with Samsung, PBB aims to deliver a secure, seamless banking experience, giving users peace of mind when managing their finances. If you’re a PBB user, don’t forget to check the PBB app for exclusive offers available to selected users^[2].

Kuala Lumpur, 19 October 2017 – Since its official February 2017 introduction in Malaysia, Samsung Pay is fast becoming the preferred payment method among tech enthusiasts and avid shoppers. As part of the brand’s continued effort to refresh its service and reward consumers for their support and keen interest, Samsung Malaysia Electronics is pleased to introduce Samsung Rewards, a first of a kind rewards programme for its mobile payment platform, Samsung Pay.

“We are always looking for ways to offer Samsung customers more value, to enhance their experience with Samsung products and services, and, ultimately, make their day-to-day lives a little more convenient. Samsung Pay helps people slim down their physical wallets, and Samsung Rewards helps to keep their digital wallets full. We want to build on the success of Samsung Pay by giving new users even more reasons to try it out – not to mention, thank our existing customers for using a service they already love,” said KM Liew, Head of IT and Mobile Business, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Samsung Rewards works just like a points-based credit card rewards programme. Every time the user makes a purchase with Samsung Pay, he/she earns reward points. Samsung Rewards also allows users to “double dip” on rewards points – that is, with every credit card purchase made via Samsung Pay, users may be able to earn points, miles or cash back from their card’s issuer, as well as points toward Samsung Rewards.¹

Samsung Rewards has loyalty tiers (Gold, Silver and Bronze) with point multipliers enabling users to earn double or quadruple points, depending on how often a user use the service each month. Users can level up across the tiers after meeting a target number of transactions; and with each level up achieved in Samsung Rewards, users get to earn more points per transaction, reaping additional rewards in return.

Additionally, users can collect more points through limited-time bonus offers. Samsung Rewards will partner with retailers and small businesses to give users seasonal opportunities to earn additional points. However, to start earning these points, all the user has to do is activate and update Samsung Pay to the latest version on his/her device, upon which 450 welcome points will be automatically credited into the user’s account. This applies for a limited time only.

Local merchants currently participating in the Samsung Rewards programme are Juice Works, dal.komm Coffee, GSC, Kenny Rogers Roasters, Lazada, and Dominos, so users can expect fantastic deals from these brands. With enough points, users can also redeem a Wireless Charger Stand, Battery Pack and the Gear S3 Frontier from Samsung. Samsung Pay in Malaysia supports MasterCard and VISA credit cards² issued by CIMB, Citibank, Maybank, Standard Chartered and RHB Bank, along with a growing number of loyalty cards.

¹Points earned in other rewards programmes are subject to the terms and conditions of those programmes. Samsung Rewards are not affiliated with any specific card issuer’s rewards programme.

* Important to note that users are required to connect to Wi-Fi or have mobile coverage to receive the reward points

Kuala Lumpur, 21 September 2017 – The next level Note has arrived! Excitement filled the atmosphere at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur as fans gathered to witness the official launch of Samsung’s most advanced device of the year, the Samsung Galaxy Note8. Dubbed as the ultimate productivity tool that drives achievers to do bigger things in work and life, the Galaxy Note8 is a combination of powerful features and ground-breaking innovations.

“People are consistently striving to do bigger and better things; and their relentless passion and spirit to achieve more has inspired us to design the new Note to ultimately help people reach their goals and potentials. The new Galaxy Note8 features a refined design, an enhanced S Pen, a best-in-class dual camera, and innovative entertainment and productivity capabilities to help people do bigger things. It is more than just a smartphone — it is a device that works the way we live, and empowers us to make things happen,” said Mr KM Liew, Head of IT & Mobile Business, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

While the innovative features and the sleek design of the Galaxy Note8 stole the hearts and minds of tech enthusiasts, it was the special appearance of Korea’s Running Man ace, Song Ji-Hyo that captured the attention of invited guests and sent the crowd into a rapturous cheer. Addressing the crowd at the launch event, the Korean gameshow star was on a mission to show Malaysian fans a new form of communication using the Galaxy Note8’s newest S Pen feature, Live Message.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of the Galaxy Note series so as soon as I heard Samsung was launching the Galaxy Note8 in Malaysia, I immediately got on board. This was the perfect opportunity for me to engage with my Malaysian fans and show them what I’ve been practising back home! Communication today has evolved tremendously compared to when we had limited options. With today’s technology, we can express ourselves in ways we never could before; and this makes communicating so fun and exciting! Check out all my fun giftographs I designed with the Note8’s S Pen!” exclaimed Song Ji-Hyo at the Galaxy Note8 launch event.

With the Galaxy Note8, Samsung continues to showcase its heritage in both hardware and software innovation. Built on the Galaxy foundation users have come to know and love, the phone offers an optimal user experience with a large form factor that easily fits in one hand, innovative display design and technologies, and a line-up of thoughtfully designed accessories.

Enjoy and Do More on the Infinity Display

The Galaxy Note8 has the biggest screen ever on a Note device, yet its narrow body makes it comfortable to hold in one hand. The 6.3-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display lets you see more and scroll less. The Galaxy Note8 gives you more room to watch, read and draw—making it the ultimate multitasking smartphone.

Note users have long been able to do more with Multi Window. With the Galaxy Note8, the new App Pair feature lets you create a custom pair of apps on the Edge Panel and simultaneously launch two apps with ease. Watch a video while messaging your friends or dial into a conference call with the number and agenda in front of you.

A New Way to Communicate with the S Pen

Since its introduction, the S Pen has been one of the Note’s defining features. With the Galaxy Note8, the enhanced S Pen unlocks entirely new ways to write, draw, and interact with the phone and communicate with friends. It has a finer tip, improved pressure sensitivity, and features that enable users to express themselves in ways that no other stylus or smartphone ever has.

When communicating with text just isn’t enough, Live Message allows you to reveal your unique personality and tell expressive stories. With the Galaxy Note8, you can now share animated texts or drawings across platforms that support animated GIFs. It’s a whole new way to communicate with the S Pen—adding lively and emotional connections that bring your messages to life.

The Always On Display allows Galaxy users to stay on top of their notifications without unlocking their phone. And with the Galaxy Note8, it’s even more powerful. Screen off memo allows you to take up to one-hundred pages of notes as soon as you remove the S Pen, pin notes to the Always On Display and make edits directly from the Always On Display.

For overseas travels or when you come across a website in a foreign language, the improved S Pen Translate feature lets you hover over text to quickly translate not only individual words, but entire sentences in up to 71 languages, and instantly convert units and foreign currencies.

Better Pictures with Galaxy Note8’s Best-in-Class Camera

For most consumers, one of the things they look for when purchasing a new device is the camera. Samsung set the standard for smartphone cameras and with the Galaxy Note8; we are delivering our most powerful smartphone camera yet.

The Galaxy Note8 is the first smartphone with two 12MP rear cameras with Dual Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) on both the wide-angle and telephoto lenses. Whether you are exploring a new city or running around your backyard, OIS lets you capture sharper images.

For more advanced photo-taking, the Galaxy Note8’s Live Focus feature lets you control the depth of field by allowing you to adjust the bokeh effect in preview mode and after you take the photo. In Dual Capture mode, both rear cameras take two pictures simultaneously and allow you to save both images; one close-up shot from the telephoto lens and one wide-angle shot that shows the entire background.

The wide-angle lens has a Dual Pixel sensor with rapid Auto Focus, so you can capture sharper, clearer shots even in low-light environments. The Galaxy Note8 is also equipped with an industry-leading 8MP Smart Auto Focus front-facing camera for sharp selfies and video chats.

Galaxy of Features and Services

The Galaxy Note8 is built on the Galaxy legacy—a collection of unique features and capabilities that, together, have redefined the mobile experience:

• Water and Dust Resistance: Four years ago, Samsung introduced the first Galaxy device with water resistance. And today, you can take your Note almost anywhere you want with water and dust resistance (IP68^*) on the device and the S Pen. You can write even when the display is wet.
• Fast Wireless Charging: Two years ago, Samsung introduced the first Galaxy device with wireless charging. The Galaxy Note8 supports the most advanced wireless charging capabilities yet, so you can get a quick, convenient charge without having to mess around with ports or wires.
• Security: The Galaxy Note8 offers a choice of biometric authentication options—including iris and fingerprint scanning. Samsung Knox provides defense-grade security at the hardware and software layers and with Secure Folder, keeps your personal and professional data separate.
• Powerful Performance: With 6GB RAM, a 10nm processor, and expandable memory (up to 256GB), you have the power you need to browse, stream, play games, and multitask.
• Innovative Mobile Experiences: Samsung DeX enables a desktop experience, powered by your phone. You can keep your files on your device, conduct work on the go, and use Samsung DeX when you need an even bigger screen. The Galaxy Note8 includes Bixby, a smarter way to use your phone; it learns from you, improves over time, and helps you get more done.

Beyond Phone Experience

Beyond the essential features and typical phone experiences, the Galaxy Note8 elevates the experience for premiere mobile connectivity and entertainment with the new Gear VR with Controller (RRP: RM499). Enabling convenient one-handed control and navigation, the controller provides better motion interaction when accessing interactive VR content. With improved lenses, ergonomics, and expanded compatibility, the new and improved Gear VR headset challenges the very concept of virtual reality, redefining the limits of what it is capable of.

Adding on to the Galaxy ecosystem, the Galaxy Note8 pairs seamlessly to the brand’s latest GPS sports band, the enhanced water-resistant Gear Fit2 Pro, to help users stay motivated, maintain a healthy lifestyle and achieve their fitness goals. A device that makes every move count, the new Gear Fit2 Pro features advanced built-in GPS tracking to capture your run or ride with accurate activity tracking. On top of its new swim and heart rate monitoring capabilities, Gear Fit2 Pro’s Super AMOLED curved 1.5-inch display and a high-resolution colour touchscreen make real-time updates and notifications easier to read.

Users can leave their physical wallet behind with Samsung Pay, turning their Galaxy Note8 into a digital wallet they can use almost anywhere they would use a credit or debit card. With more than 870 worldwide banking partnerships, Samsung Pay has processed more than 240 million transactions to date. Samsung Pay has also added a growing number of loyalty, membership and gift cards, and it continues to add innovative new features like Deals, which shows coupons and discounts at nearby stores that users can redeem instantly.

“We want to build on the success of Samsung Pay by giving new users even more reasons to try it out – not to mention, thank our existing customers for using a service they already love. That is why we are excited to offer Samsung Pay users a first-of-its-kind rewards programme for a mobile payments platform: Samsung Rewards,” said Mr KM Liew, Head of IT & Mobile Business, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Samsung Rewards works just like a points-based credit card rewards program. Every time you make a purchase with Samsung Pay, you earn rewards points. Samsung Rewards also has loyalty tiers with point multipliers – you can earn double, triple, or even quadruple points, depending on how often you use the service each month. In conjunction with the Galaxy Note8 launch in Malaysia, Samsung Malaysia Electronics is rewarding Galaxy Note8 users with 450 welcome points!

The Galaxy Note8 is available in Malaysia beginning 21^st September 2017. Offered at the recommended retail price of RM3,999 (inclusive of 6% GST), the Galaxy Note8 is available in three colour options – Midnight Black, Orchid Gray, Maple Gold.
