Riding high on the success of its latest Galaxy devices, Samsung announced that the limited edition Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne edition has sold out within a very short period of time. Made publicly available 10:00 AM on 12 September, Samsung saw enthusiastic response to this striking and inviting collaboration which proudly brings back black-tie elegance to the Galaxy Portfolio.

The Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition features Samsung’s latest foldable technology, combined with Thom Browne’s signature design elements. This limited edition also includes two leather pouch cases and a special edition S Pen 1 . Included as well is the Galaxy Watch6, epitomizing timeless style and comes with two leather straps: one with black pebble leather and the other with red, white and blue striped leather. These colors are also used on the 25W travel adapter, the coin-style watch charger and an exclusive fabric USB-C to USB-C cable — all brimming with Thom Browne’s trademark influence.

Blue Avelino, Head of Mobile Experience for Samsung Electronics Philippines, says, “We are definitely excited for the response that we saw for the Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne edition. The partnership between Samsung and Thom Browne started because of our strong belief that it is possible to draw upon the similarities between fashion and technology to create a smartphone that introduced an entirely new design identity. We are very proud to have finally launched this limited-edition collection in the Philippines for the first time.” It was in 2020 when leading technology company Samsung first collaborated with iconic New York Fashion brand Thom Browne. The result was a sophisticated limited-edition collection where luxury meets innovation, emboldening individuals to stand out from the crowd with their unique devices, and that story continues with the release of the latest generation of the Thom Browne collection from Samsung.

It was in 2020 when leading technology company Samsung first collaborated with iconic New York Fashion brand Thom Browne. The partnership was born out of a strong belief that it is possible to draw upon the similarities between the worlds of fashion and technology to create a smartphone that introduced an entirely new design identity. The result was a sophisticated limited-edition collection where luxury meets innovation, emboldening individuals to stand out from the crowd with their unique devices.

And it seems that technology will once again meet high fashion as both brands continue to drop hints that a new collaboration is coming soon, with a special reveal slated for 07 September 2023. 

When this partnership started, there was an awareness that the worlds of tech and fashion can vary widely in terms of design approaches, materials and manufacturing processes. With Samsung and Thom Browne respecting and learning more about their unique design philosophies and identities, the two brands were able to successfully develop all-new innovations together that are premium in every way.

 The first collaboration between Samsung and Thom Browne, released in 2020

This collaboration took off with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold2 Thom Browne Edition, which embodied the fashion house’s classic ideas with conceptual interpretations. The phone featured distinctive Thom Browne signature brand colors on a pebble gray exterior and  the limited edition smartphone was the first-of-its-kind to be encased in glass. The classic longwing brogues took a modern form with a gray pebble leather phone case, featuring the distinctive Thom Browne signature brand colors down the center. Meanwhile, The Galaxy Z Flip Thom Browne Edition took reference from the mid-century office aesthetic as blinds appear on screen every time the phone is turned on and off. Opening the luxurious box containing the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Watch3, can be likened to a drawer that revealed a cache of treasured items. 

The Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 Thom Browne Editions pushed the partnership forward in 2021

In 2021, the collaboration went for a more futuristic aesthetic. Weaving Thom Browne’s impeccable design with Samsung’s pioneering technology, the collection offered three packages, including the latest Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip3, Galaxy Buds2, Galaxy Watch4 and S Pen Pro. Thom Browne’s signature colors bordered the new matte white finish, paired in perfect symmetry with the streamlined glass body. Shiny silver hinges added to the unique design approach, enhancing reflections of light. The distinctive red, white and blue grosgrain detail was updated to look the future.

And for the first time since the partnership started, Samsung and Thom Browne are inviting users in the Philippines to take a seat at the table of unmistakable luxury and refinement. Check out the teaser video to view the new Samsung x Thom Browne collaboration and stay tuned on September 7 to see how Samsung continues to blend technology with fashion at Samsung Philippines.

Personal needs, styles and preferences constantly evolve in today’s modern world. As such, customers deserve devices that can go with the flow: smart mobile experiences that are as diverse and adaptable as the users themselves. The newly launched Galaxy Z Flip4 is exactly that kind of device, fine-tuned to express its user’s style through its design, features and even angles. Equipped with an iconic form factor that can be positioned at different degrees to unlock a trove of innovative features, this is a smartphone designed to deliver the most personalized experience.

Samsung Newsroom has put together this guide for users, breaking down every angle to showcase how Galaxy Z Flip4’s unique form factor provides tailored user experiences, inside and out.

 0 degree: Unlock the Full Potential of the Cover Screen

Galaxy Z Flip4 offers a full smartphone experience that folds into half the size for compact pocketability. Even when folded, it fits smoothly in users’ pockets. What’s more, plenty of its diverse features are even optimized to be used without flipping it open. For instance, with Quick Setting, you can turn on and off airplane mode or flashlight and easily adjust the screen’s brightness. Easily reply to messages, make a call or access your Samsung Wallet — all from Z Flip4’s 1.9-inch Cover Screen. You can even easily pick the widgets you want to use right on the Cover Screen, making the Z Flip series even more convenient and accessible.

By simply pressing the side button twice, you can activate Quick Shot. This feature allows users to take high-resolution selfies by using the main cameras of Z Flip4 right from the Cover Screen. With the enhanced Quick Shot that now supports a preview on the Cover Screen reflecting the actual photo ratio as well as Portrait Mode, you can snap top-quality photos whenever and wherever you are. You can even use the closed Z Flip4 as a mirror to quickly check your look before heading out.

75 degrees: Craft Your Own Photoshoot Experience With FlexCam

Capture photos and videos from different points of view with bolder angles than ever before with Z Flip4. With FlexCam, you can use your Galaxy Z Flip4 cameras at different folded angles, opening up a broad range of new perspectives never before possible on conventional smartphones — giving you more control than ever over your selfies.

The high-resolution main cameras and the Cover Screen photo previews do more than enable great selfies. These features can work together with Z Flip4’s wide spectrum of angles to provide dynamic, full-body shots, transforming your smartphone into an adjustable tripod that fits right in your pocket. Take total control of your image and get stylish, flattering angles without needing to carry around accessories or ask others to take photos for you. You can even angle Z Flip4 at 75 degrees and place it on the ground for bold, stylistic shots that wouldn’t be out of place on the cover of a fashion magazine.

Out with friends and want to take a group photo? With Z Flip4, nobody needs to be left out. Just place your device at the angle you want on a nearby surface and strike your poses. FlexCam lets you trigger the camera by holding up your palm, all without needing to press a button on the camera itself. The shutter sound lets you know your photo has been successfully taken. Take camera timers and random pleas to strangers out of the equation for natural group photos without the hassle.

90 degrees: Camera Features That Power Content Creation and Versatile Photography

Today, more users than ever are creating and enjoying short-form video content, like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, and Galaxy Z Flip4 is the perfect companion for it. Designed with the preferences of Millennials and Generation Z in mind, Z Flip4 allows you to conveniently create online content. For example, you can take a vlog using the high-quality video recording in Quick Shot mode and then seamlessly switch to Flex mode to continue recording hands-free — all without ever stopping the video.

For handheld shots, Galaxy Z Flip4 can be held like a camcorder. Soon, users can also try out bird’s eye view photos by holding up the smartphone while folded at 90 degrees.

Z Flip4 is also perfect for capturing nighttime scenes when out for an atmospheric evening walk. Z Flip4 is equipped with a 65% brighter image sensor than its previous generation, enabling high-quality nighttime photos, even when the sky is pitch-black. The Nightography mode is optimized for using the camera in these conditions and minimizes the washed-out, blurry effect that is used to make nighttime photography harder to achieve. Now you can get bright, sharp photos with less image noise.

115 degrees: Divide Up Your Screen Space to Suit Your Multitasking Needs

With its fourth generation, the Z Flip series has taken its Flex mode to the next level with further enhanced features. Z Flip4 adds a touchpad within Flex mode that lets you control the mouse cursor for pausing, rewinding or playing videos without picking up the device.

Multitasking is also more intuitive and easier to activate, thanks to new swipe gestures. Simply swipe up on the screen with two fingers to split your screen in half or swipe to the middle from top two corners to instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows. With multi-window, you can watch a film on the top screen while taking notes on the bottom screen, all while chatting with friends on a message thread and planning your route to meet them simultaneously.

180 degrees: The Ultimate Self-Expression Tool With an Array of Colors and Combinations

Our smartphones can play a big role in expressing our individuality, and Galaxy Z Flip4 is no exception — you can complement your style with premium design in legacy colors, including Bora Purple, Graphite, Pink Gold and Blue. With the slimmer hinge, refined edges, contrasting haze back glass and glossy metal frames, the new design is our most refined yet.

The Cover Screen is the focal point of Z Flip4’s surface: it is the part of the phone that gets the most exposure and acts as a window into its user’s personality. For instance, comprehensive display customization options include the ability to change the backgrounds in various formats such as images, GIFs and now even video on the Cover Screen. You can take advantage of Z Flip4’s various creative camera features to craft the perfect Cover Screen background, then add the clock style of your choice from the expanded list of clock designs to complete the picture.

From the moment you open up Galaxy Z Flip4, a new experience in mobile technology unfolds right in front of you. From 0 to 180 degrees, it’s a panoramic device designed to fit perfectly with your unique lifestyle.

About Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

Samsung inspires the world and shapes the future with transformative ideas and technologies. The company is redefining the worlds of TVs, smartphones, wearable devices, tablets, digital appliances, network systems, and memory, system LSI and LED solutions. For the latest news, please visit the Samsung Newsroom at http://news.samsung.com.

This 3-part series will introduce the journey Bespoke has taken so far as it evolved to deliver greater value by expanding the capabilities of home appliances.

As Part One in this series, this article will detail the decisions behind the design innovations that evolved the Bespoke design ethos, from colors and cultures to true customizations.

Adding Color and Texture to “White Goods”

The Flat Style minimalist design philosophy – the theory that simple, clean lines and flush surfaces would be ideal in matching modern home décor – was the driving inspiration behind Bespoke Home appliances. Such designs could easily fit into any modern kitchen concept creating a sense of cohesion with the surrounding space, while customizable façades on the exterior would allow consumers to express themselves through a variety of striking color options and material finishes.

Refrigerators were the first appliances in the Bespoke journey of elevating the home appliance designs. Since then, Bespoke has expanded to the rest of the home to include an entire kitchen package, including ovens, dishwashers and cooktops, as well as living and laundry appliances such as vacuum cleaners, washers and dryers.

It became clear very quickly that the Bespoke design concept resonated with users who wanted their appliances to reflect their own diverse tastes, and even the industry took notice. In 2020, the Bespoke refrigerator won NYCxDESIGN Awards in the Kitchen product category and was selected as an honoree at CES 2021 in recognition of Bespoke’s creative use of design in offering users a way to easily personalize their appliances. Bespoke appliances received a silver award and Best-in-Show honors at the International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) in 2021 and gold at the International Forum (iF) Design Award in 2022.

Later, Bespoke would expand into more kitchen appliances and then the rest of the home with living appliances, introducing more color and material options. The team behind Bespoke’s designs decided that a continuous cycle of new colors for Bespoke appliances would make it easier for users to find the design that best reflected their unique lifestyle.

For users who may find deciding on home décor daunting, in 2021, Samsung introduced the Bespoke AI Recommendation service in Korea. This service helped make appliance designing more accessible with the help of AI. Users would upload photos of their homes or designs they liked, and the AI would analyze the images to come up with color recommendations that fit best in that environment.

As bold as these appliances were in a sea of “white goods,” however, Samsung knew the vision could not end with just color and material options. With Bespoke, true customization is more than choice – it’s also about personalization.

From Colors to Culture

Diving deeper into the Bespoke design vision, Samsung sought to highlight key identifying factors shared by all Bespoke users – a sense of belonging through culture. Collaborating with artists from a wide range of disciplines as well as Bespoke users themselves, Samsung wanted to reflect cultures from around the globe onto Bespoke refrigerator panel designs.

This year, Samsung introduced the Union Jack flag as a new design option for Bespoke refrigerators in the U.K., recognizing the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession.

In  May last year, Samsung held design contests on social media in collaboration with designers, including award-wining British interior designer Kelly Hoppen CBE and London-based designer Yinka Ilori. The contests were themed around two of the most important passions in the kitchen – inspirational designs and inspirational food. In Europe, through the #BespokeDesignedByYou design challenge, Samsung invited users to share their own unique refrigerator designs based on how Bespoke sparks creativity at home in the kitchen. In the U.S., Samsung launched the #BespokeDinnerParty challenge, where users shared their perfect Bespoke dinner party plans with cocktails, flower arrangements, dinnerware and food inspired by bold Bespoke colors.

Before that, many artists took part in developing Bespoke’s designs. French illustrator Hérem added European architecture into the design, while American artist Rementer added colorful portraits of diverse communities through the lens of pop art. Danish design company HAY experimented with natural food-inspired colors, and American artist Alex Proba expressed joy and happiness with colorful patterns and shapes inspired by nature.

These artist and user-involved design experiences would serve as a prologue to the next evolution of Bespoke’s designs.

The Next Level of Bespoke Customization

If using colors offers users a way to be expressive and identify with cultures through a sense of belonging, the next level in Bespoke designs would be true self-expression. As such, Samsung is now offering users a truly self-expressive Bespoke customization experience from start to finish.

Bespoke’s concept of true customization began to take shape with design contests worldwide. The excitement and enthusiasm expressed by the participants from these contests inspired the beginning of the digital printing service called MyBespoke in the U.S.

With MyBespoke, Samsung will arrive at the latest evolution of Bespoke design, shifting from self-expression through preselected options to a truly Bespoke customization experience where users can create their own designs from scratch.

At the start of Bespoke’s design journey was the vision to inspire users to personalize their homes with designs that truly reflect who they are. With the MyBespoke launch, Samsung is one step closer to making that vision a reality. Samsung will continue to innovate to expand design, experience and customization to make life at home more expressive and enjoyable.
