“With a long history of groundbreaking industry-firsts, Samsung is proud to be making 5G a reality for European consumers by collaborating with some of our most trusted operator partners to introduce Galaxy S10 5G to the market this summer,” said DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics. “For over a decade, Samsung has spearheaded major advances in global connectivity, leveraging a heritage in visionary innovation and unrivalled expertise in hardware and services. These new mobile network partnerships reflect our deep commitment to ongoing open collaboration, so that we can continue to deliver meaningful innovations and unparalleled connectivity that will fundamentally change the way we work, communicate and consume content.”

Partnering with major mobile network operators in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the UK, Galaxy S10 5G pioneers Samsung’s vision for global 5G network connectivity. Galaxy S10 5G users will be able to experience true 5G connectivity via the following operators:

• – Deutsche Telekom
• – EE
• – Orange
• – Sunrise
• – Swisscom
• – TIM
• – Telefonica
• – Vodafone

“Deutsche Telekom is very excited to work together with Samsung as partner for the development of best in class 5G experience,” said Tim Hoettges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom AG.

“EE customers enjoy the UK’s best mobile experience today, and as leaders in 5G and converged smart networks we’ll be going even further to keep them connected wherever they go,” said Marc Allera, CEO of BT’s Consumer division. “We’ll be launching 5G across 16 UK cities this year with leading partners such as Samsung to give our customers the very best experience – providing the fastest and most reliable connection when they need it the most.”

“We’re proud of this new milestone in our partnership with Samsung,” said Stéphane Richard, Chairman and CEO at Orange Group. “We welcome the availability of their first 5G device ready for European 5G networks.”

“We intend to continue being a frontrunner in the development of 5G in Europe and we have been working together with Samsung to speed up the launch of 5G services through their 5G smartphone,” said Luigi Gubitosi, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Telecom Italia. “We have set ourselves a challenging schedule and we will use every tool available to achieve our goal of playing a leading role in the deployment of 5G in Italy.”

“Vodafone is excited to partner again with Samsung at the start of the 5G era, working together to provide customers with the benefits of advanced speeds and great services from Vodafone’s 5G network during 2019,” said Nick Read, Vodafone Group CEO.

Committed to an open approach to collaboration and with major partnerships around the globe, Samsung is supported by leading global service providers to bring secure, trusted and powerful 5G connectivity to the region. Up to roughly 20 times faster than 4G, 5G on Galaxy S10 5G introduces hyper-fast streaming and download speeds, powerful mobile hot-spotting, 4K video calling and an elevated mobile gaming experience. The first-ever true 5G smartphone, Galaxy S10 5G champions a seamless and near-instantaneous mobile experience, delivering the next step in mobile connectivity today.

But with all that power under the hood it takes some engineering magic to make sure that all the components stay cool while you’re gaming or doing some intense multitasking. Samsung has innovated smartphone cooling on the Galaxy Note9 with its all-new Water Carbon Cooling system.

Water cooling first debuted on the Galaxy S7, but Galaxy Note9 improves both the capacity and efficiency of smartphone cooling. So how did we make it happen? We’ll let our engineers fill you in on the details with notes from the creator’s lab.

01. The Problem

Making phones with batteries that can last all day and play console-quality games comes at a cost: heat. When a phone’s internals become too hot, the CPU slows down – a problem known as thermal throttling – and leads to a loss in performance. Sluggish gameplay and poor multi-tasking are two major problems that a good cooling system addresses.

02. The Goal

The Galaxy Note9 had an ambitious set of goals. We wanted to create a phone with a battery that could last all day, provide a PC-like experience with Samsung DeX, and handle graphic-intense games like Fortnite. That meant putting in a 4,000mAh battery and the latest 2.7GHz mobile processor, which would challenge the phone’s performance. The new cooling system needed to be both faster and more efficient than previous generations.

03. The Idea

When we launched the Galaxy S7, we introduced a new type of water-based cooling into our phones. It used a porous thermal spreader filled with water, which absorbed the heat and turned into steam and then carried the heat away through a pipe. Once the heat dissipated, the steam condensed into water again. This system was the blueprint for the Water Carbon Cooling system in the Galaxy Note9, but we wanted to make it bigger and more efficient.

04. The Solution

The most difficult part of improving the cooling system was to make it more efficient. The original system was thin and used two Thermal Interface Materials (TIM), one made of highly conductive carbon fiber, to transfer heat away from the processor. Our answer was to add a layer of copper between the two TIMs, making it possible to transfer more heat between the two materials for more efficient heat dissipation. We also engineered a wider thermal spreading pipe, coming in at 350mm³ compared to the Galaxy S9’s 95mm³, to dissipate heat over a wider surface area.

05. The Result

Thanks to the improved Water Carbon Cooling system, the Galaxy Note9 can effectively manage heat generated from its powerful processor. With the wider thermal spreader and enhanced Carbon Fiber interface, the cooling system conducts and transmits heat efficiently to the surface of the device, allowing the Galaxy Note9 to operate at peak performance consistently. When compared to the Galaxy Note8, the upgraded cooling system’s heat absorption is three times greater and the thermal conductivity is 3.5 times higher.
