<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>MANILA, Philippines – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your laundry days just got more effective with Samsung’s 8kg and 8.5kg top load washing machines, bringing power to every wash. This November 11, upgrading your wash routine is easier than ever and even more rewarding when you pre-order the new Samsung washing machines for up to 30% off. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Designed to deliver a thorough clean powered by its Triple Power Twister suite of features, the latest laundry innovations from Samsung feature advanced washing technologies to tackle even the toughest dirt and stain, giving you a deeper and more effective clean for every cycle. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Maximum Cleaning Power with All-New Triple Power Twister</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From muddy clothes after a weekend adventure, sweat-soaked workout gear, to everyday spills on your linens and sheets, some laundry loads need more than just an ordinary wash. Samsung’s new 8kg and 8.5kg top load washing machines are built with innovative washing technologies to deliver a more powerful, effective clean with less effort. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The machine’s Triple Power Twister feature brings together three washing technologies to give every load a heavy-duty wash. BubbleStorm<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> helps detergent penetrate fabrics 2.5x faster, cleaning dirty laundry more thoroughly. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simultaneously, Dual Storm<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology generates a water vortex to deliver a more intense washing process. For heavily soiled laundry, Intensive Wash deep soaks your wash load to give stubborn stains the extra cleaning power it needs. The machine’s Adaptive Pressure technology ensures your laundry routine remains uninterrupted, despite lower water pressure in the area.  </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aside from powerful cleaning thanks to Triple Power Twister features, the new washing machines bring added convenience and efficiency, thanks to SmartThings connectivity and AI Energy Mode. Digital Inverter Technology, backed by a 10-year warranty, also works together with the machines’ Tub Clean to support long-term reliability.</span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-9443 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Galaxy-Tab-S12-Ultra-Productivity-KV-1024x656.png" alt="" width="1024" height="656" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Galaxy-Tab-S12-Ultra-Productivity-KV-1024x656.png 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Galaxy-Tab-S12-Ultra-Productivity-KV-879x563.png 879w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Galaxy-Tab-S12-Ultra-Productivity-KV-768x492.png 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Galaxy-Tab-S12-Ultra-Productivity-KV.png 1276w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Great work often begins with a single idea: a sketch waiting to take shape, a recipe ready to be perfected, a concept that needs refining, or a story waiting to be told. Turning that idea into something remarkable takes more than inspiration. It takes the right tools to explore possibilities, refine every detail, and bring creative visions to life.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Designed for those who take pride in their craft, the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tablets/galaxy-tab-s12/buy/"><b>Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra</b></a><b> and </b><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tablets/galaxy-tab-s12/buy/?modelCode=SM-X840NZAAXTC"><b>Galaxy Tab S12+</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> bring together powerful performance, an expansive display, and versatile productivity tools to help users move seamlessly from concept to creation. Whether in the studio, the kitchen, the office, or on the go, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series makes it easier to transform everyday ideas into meaningful work.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b>Where ideas take shape</b></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-9110 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/S-Pen-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/S-Pen-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/S-Pen-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/S-Pen-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/S-Pen-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From sketching designs to perfecting recipes, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series helps turn inspiration into tangible results. Its</span><b> immersive Dynamic AMOLED 2X display</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and</span><b> in-box S Pen</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> make it easy for designers and illustrators to refine concepts, while chefs can organize recipes, develop menus, and gather creative references in one place.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For content creators and professionals, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series makes it easier to plan projects, review visuals, and manage documents with powerful performance and </span><b>Multi Window</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which supports up to three apps on screen at once. Paired with the </span><b>Book Cover Keyboard Slim</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and productivity apps, it offers a flexible workspace for creating, collaborating, and bringing ideas to life wherever inspiration strikes. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b>Power that keeps up with ambition</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Big ambitions call for hardware that can keep up. The Galaxy Tab S12 Series combines this powerful performance with an ultra-thin, portable design. At just 5.1mm thin, the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra features a </span><b>14.6-inch display</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, while the Galaxy Tab S12+ offers a</span><b> 12.6-inch screen</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, both with vivid visuals and peak brightness of </span><b>up to 1,600 nits</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. With </span><b>long-lasting battery life </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><b>IP68-rated water and dust resistance</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, you can stay productive and creative throughout the day.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And because good work is never just a one-day affair, both models support up to seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates, helping users keep their devices current as their needs evolve.</span></p>

You can also enjoy third-party app benefits, including </span><b>a one-year Microsoft 365 subscription</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><b>six months of Google AI Pro</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><b>four months of Adobe Photoshop</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and more, subject to applicable terms and conditions.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>MANILA, Philippines (October 28, 2026) – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">For many Filipino households, the television remains an entertainment fixture. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority’s 2024 data, television is still the most widely accessed audiovisual medium with an 82.3% exposure rate among individuals aged 10 to 64, followed by video streaming at 66.5%</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Global No. 1 TV and soundbar brand Samsung views this enduring consumer behavior as a mandate to innovate. “Even as the primary medium for home entertainment, the television must constantly adapt to the evolving needs and habits of modern consumers,” said Samsung Philippines President Roman Han. “With the Super Big Vision AI TVs, Samsung wanted to deliver televisions that do more.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Bigger Screens, More Immersive Entertainment</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A larger screen requires advanced processing power to maintain picture quality and to deliver fully immersive entertainment experiences. According to Han, Samsung addressed this by engineering its line of supersized Vision AI TVs with intelligent picture processing capabilities and precise color rendering to make cinematic viewing possible at home. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leading the lineup is the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tvs/micro-rgb/r85h-100-inch-4k-smart-tv-mra100r85hgxxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">100” Micro RGB Vision AI TV</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Instead of standard backlighting, it uses micro-sized red, green, and blue (RGB) lights that are precisely controlled to vivid, accurate colors across the screen. To ensure the image remains crystal clear, the TV’s Micro RGB AI Engine and Supersize Picture Enhancer ensures your entertainment of choice is optimized for larger displays. To make home entertainment more immersive, Samsung made it easier to pair Vision AI TVs with a compatible soundbar, like the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/audio-devices/soundbar/q990h-black-hw-q990h-xp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Q990H 11.1.4ch Q Soundbar</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, through Q-Symphony. This synchronizes the TV with the soundbar to produce rich, multidimensional audio that pulls viewers deeper into their entertainment.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For Samsung, bigger viewing calls for a wider selection of entertainment. Through the built-in Samsung TV Plus, viewers get free access to over 750 channels and thousands of on-demand titles on Vision AI TVs with the Samsung TV Plus app. This means they’ll never run out of entertainment to watch at home.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A bigger entertainment experience happens when all the elements come together,” stated Han. “When picture and audio work together, along with unlimited access to content, home entertainment becomes richer and more meaningful.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Supersized Viewing Enhances Connection</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For all the ways entertainment has become more personalized, shared viewing moments continue to be an important part of the TV experience. “Home entertainment is inherently communal,” Han remarked. “Televisions help families and friends enjoy moments spent together in a bigger, more remarkably immersive way.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung’s Super Big Vision AI TVs, such as the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tvs/mini-led-tv/m90h-100-inch-4k-smart-tv-ua100m90hgxxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">100” Mini LED Vision AI TV</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, are designed to make shared entertainment bigger and better in every way. Powered by Mini LED technology, the TV uses smaller backlights to deliver richer images, stronger contrast, and more vibrant highlights to produce images with more defined details. Sports watch parties are made better by the TV’s AI Football Mode, which optimizes picture and sound settings to bring out the vibrancy of the pitch and make the action easier to follow. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The AI Sound Controller feature offers a more personalized watching experience as it allows viewers to adjust sound elements, such as voices or background noise, and helps them stay focused on the beautiful game. For a superior sound experience, the TV pairs best with the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/audio-devices/soundbar/q800h-black-hw-q800h-xp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Q800H 5.1.2ch Q Soundbar</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. With Dolby Atmos, this delivers a more enveloping sound experience, while AI Adaptive Sound optimizes audio for enhanced sports viewing.   </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Larger Screens Help You Do More at Home</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As habits and lifestyles evolve, households require televisions that can support their diverse daily routines. To address this need, Samsung’s Super Big Vision AI TVs are built to make everyday living easier and more enjoyable.“Samsung continues to push the boundaries of display technology to reimagine what a television can do for every household,” said Han. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tvs/uhd-4k-tv/u9000h-98-inch-crystal-uhd-4k-smart-tv-ua98u9000hgxxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">98” Crystal UHD 4K Smart Vision AI TV</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> renders vivid visuals and optimizes viewing through its NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor and Color Booster Pro technologies. When connected to the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/audio-devices/soundbar/q600h-black-hw-q600h-xp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Q600H 3.1.2ch Q Soundbar</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the experience extends beyond the screen with immersive 3D spatial Eclipsa audio calibrated for your space.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tvs/qled-tv/qn80h-100-inch-neo-qled-4k-samsung-vision-ai-smart-tv-qa100qn80hgxxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">100” Neo QLED Vision AI TV</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> uses Quantum Mini LED technology to produce striking contrast with brighter highlights and more defined details for a truly engaging viewing experience. Completing the setup with the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/audio-devices/soundbar/q930h-black-hw-q930h-xp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Q930H 9.1.4ch Q Soundbar</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> gives viewers a more immersive viewing experience. The soundbar creates expansive, multidimensional audio that brings viewers closer to every scene.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beyond entertainment, these televisions can serve as intelligent, intuitive companions that support your daily routines through Vision AI Companion. Using natural, conversational language, you can simply ask the TV for information or content relevant to your day. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The TV also becomes a hub for all your connected devices through SmartThings. This allows you to manage your household through a single platform, making it easier to keep track of your devices. To ensure the TV’s performance continues to improve over time, Samsung offers up to 7 years of free One UI Tizen OS Upgrades. “We want to ensure that consumers can continue to rely on their TVs and enjoy these connected experiences for years to come,” explained Han.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Better Screens Deliver Bigger Wins</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As expectations for displays continue to evolve, bigger screens are becoming just as valuable in workspaces as they are in living rooms. As the global No. 1 gaming monitor brand for seven consecutive years, Samsung ensures that this reliable performance extends to its monitor lineup by offering monitors that are made to support everyday productivity and immersive gaming.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“As our digital experiences evolve, we believe truly capable monitors should adapt to these different demands and deliver visual quality and performance that enhance the productivity and gaming experience of consumers,” Han said.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/monitors/full-hd-1080p/essential-monitor-g3-g31h-27-inch-fhd-1080p-144hz-ls27hg310eexxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Essential Monitor G3</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> balances productivity with casual gaming and entertainment. With a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, it delivers a smoother performance, even for fast-moving content, while keeping your eyes comfortable despite extended screen time. For avid gamers, the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/monitors/gaming/odyssey-g5-g50f-27-inch-180hz-qhd-ls27fg502eexxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Odyssey G5</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> delivers an immersive and smooth gaming performance. Keeping you immersed in the action, its AMG FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility minimizes screen tearing and stuttering for a smoother, more seamless experience.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Televisions and displays continue to open up new possibilities for how people go about their daily routines,” remarked Han. “The opportunity lies in pairing size with meaningful innovation that takes the experience to greater heights. This is what we strive to continuously deliver through our evolving lineup of display innovations.”</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As foldable smartphones evolve, the conversation goes beyond how a device looks or how thin it can be. What matters is how its design, materials, and components work together through everyday use. With eight generations of foldable innovation, Samsung continues to refine its </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/offer/galaxy-z8-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Z series</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> around this principle, bringing together durability, versatile screen experiences, and devices designed for different users and needs.</span></p>
<h3></h3>
<h2>Engineering a Foldable for Everyday Life</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A refined foldable experience starts with more than a slim profile. Samsung engineers the complete device, balancing materials, structure, weight, ergonomics, durability, battery, and thermal performance as one integrated system.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9426" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2.-Thinnest-Fold.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="812" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2.-Thinnest-Fold.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2.-Thinnest-Fold-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2.-Thinnest-Fold-998x563.jpg 998w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2.-Thinnest-Fold-768x433.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2.-Thinnest-Fold-1024x577.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Z Fold8</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> reflects this approach with a lightweight 201-gram design that measures just 4.5mm when unfolded and 9.7mm when folded. Its engineering combines Flex Titanium beneath the folding display with an Advanced Armor Aluminum frame, helping support a slimmer form factor while maintaining structural strength.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9425" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/3.-Flex-Titanium.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="810" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/3.-Flex-Titanium.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/3.-Flex-Titanium-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/3.-Flex-Titanium-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/3.-Flex-Titanium-768x432.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/3.-Flex-Titanium-1024x576.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Durability is also evaluated through </span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/ph/interview-inside-the-engineering-behind-the-latest-galaxy-z-series?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">more than 100 reliability validation tests</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> across the latest Galaxy Z series. These include tests involving repeated folding, drops, pressure, moisture, and debris, assessing how the device performs under different stresses associated with everyday use.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Making More of the Larger Screen</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Durability is one part of the foldable experience; making the most of the larger screen is another. Across eight generations, Samsung has continued to turn additional screen space into practical experiences for work, creativity, and entertainment.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9428" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/4.-Large-Display.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="960" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/4.-Large-Display.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/4.-Large-Display-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/4.-Large-Display-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/4.-Large-Display-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the Galaxy Z Fold8, multi-window capabilities let users work across apps, while Galaxy AI features offer additional ways to interact with information on a larger canvas. A foldable-optimized camera experience supports content creation, while Samsung DeX provides a desktop-like environment for compatible workflows.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">App optimization is also key to making the larger display more useful. With continued optimization for the foldable format, compatible apps can better adapt to the Galaxy Z Fold8’s expansive screen, supporting a more seamless experience across multitasking, productivity, and entertainment.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9424" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/5.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="960" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/5.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/5.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/5.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/5.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Together, these features make the expanded display useful beyond simply viewing content. From managing a busy day to creating and enjoying content, the larger screen is designed to help users do more with the space available to them.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>A Foldable for Different Needs</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung offers more than one answer to the foldable category, with a portfolio of proven, available devices designed around different users, use cases, and levels of capability. The </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold8-ultra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> delivers the complete flagship package, bringing together an expansive display, an advanced camera system, and premium performance. The </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Z Fold8</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> offers an immersive large-screen experience for content consumption, from watching videos to browsing and enjoying entertainment on the go. Meanwhile the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Z Flip8</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> features a compact form factor for those who value portability and everyday convenience.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9423" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/6.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="714" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/6.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/6.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series-1000x496.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/6.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series-768x381.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/6.-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series-1024x508.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each device brings its own combination of features and experiences, giving consumers options based on how they work, create, communicate, and enjoy content. This breadth reflects Samsung’s continued investment in foldables—not as a one-size-fits-all category, but as a range of experiences shaped around different needs.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Experience Foldable Innovation with Available Offers</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With Samsung’s eight generations of foldable innovation and rigorous durability testing, consumers can enjoy a premium foldable experience with greater confidence in a device designed for everyday use.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics today announced that Interbrand, a global brand consultancy, ranked the company No. 5 on its annual “Best Global Brands” list for the seventh consecutive year, with a brand value of USD 105.2 billion. Samsung is the only company based in Asia to remain in the global top five each year since 2020.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Interbrand’s evaluation reflected:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Record earnings, driven by focused investments in AI semiconductors</li>
<li>Stronger AI competitiveness in the Device eXperience (DX) Division</li>
<li>A customer-centric brand strategy under the “One Samsung” approach</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Device Solutions (DS) Division continued to grow by increasing the supply of high-value memory products to meet rising demand for AI. It also maintained its technological leadership with the industry’s first mass production and commercial shipment of HBM4.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The DX Division is bringing greater convenience to people’s daily lives through personalized AI experiences and connectivity across its products, including mobile devices, televisions, and home appliances. This year, Samsung introduced Galaxy Z Fold8, an eighth generation Galaxy foldable, featuring a new form factor and a 4:3 display aspect ratio that redefines the foldable category. The design resonated strongly with younger consumers while broadening the device’s appeal across generations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As one of the longest-standing brand consultancies, Interbrand evaluates brand value annually through a comprehensive analysis of a company’s financial performance and outlook, the brand’s influence on purchasing decisions, and its competitiveness. The evaluation considers strategy, empathy, differentiation, customer engagement, consistency, and trust.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From capturing solo travel memories to keeping up with fitness goals, today’s lifestyles call for technology that can keep pace without adding to the things people carry. With the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip8/buy/"><b>Galaxy Z Flip8</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/watches/galaxy-watch/galaxy-watch9-40mm-cream-bluetooth-sm-l340nzeaasa/buy/"><b>Galaxy Watch9</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/watches/galaxy-watch/galaxy-watch-ultra2-titanium-silver-lte-sm-l715fzsaxtc/buy/"><b>Galaxy Watch Ultra2</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, users can enjoy more convenient ways to create content, stay active, and make the most of every experience.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The appeal of going hands-free continues to grow. Whether it’s filming a morning routine or capturing a workout, the Galaxy Z Flip8 and Samsung’s latest smartwatches offer practical ways to bring technology </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">into everyday pursuits.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Hands-Free Creativity with the Galaxy Z Flip8</h3>
<h3></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9408" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_20261028_185946_3841.jpg" alt="" width="904" height="1280" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_20261028_185946_3841.jpg 904w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_20261028_185946_3841-398x563.jpg 398w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_20261028_185946_3841-768x1087.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/IMG_20261028_185946_3841-723x1024.jpg 723w" sizes="(max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With its compact foldable design and FlexCam, the Galaxy Z Flip8 makes it easier to capture photos and videos hands-free, without the need for a separate tripod.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By folding the device at a suitable angle and placing it on a stable surface, users can frame hands-free shots for outfit checks, travel diaries, group photos, and everyday videos. The FlexWindow also allows users to preview shots and capture moments without unfolding the device, while Super Steady video helps keep footage stable when recording on the move.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beyond its practical design, the Galaxy Z Flip8 gives users more opportunities to express their individuality and capture life&#8217;s moments, making it a natural companion for an active, on-the-go lifestyle.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Stay on track with Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2 help users stay connected to their wellness goals and active lifestyles. The Galaxy Watch9 supports everyday health and fitness tracking, making it a practical companion for monitoring activity and building more consistent routines.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-9400 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/3.-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-and-Next-Gen-Smartwatches-e1793184842816.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is designed for more demanding activities, bringing together a durable design and features suited to active adventures. Whether working toward a new fitness milestone, exploring a destination, or simply making more time for movement, both smartwatches help users keep their goals in focus while spending more time doing what they enjoy.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>MANILA, Philippines (October 21, 2026) – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the intense dry season looms, retreating indoors becomes the best way to stay comfortable. Instead of letting the weather put your activities on hold, you can make the most out of your time at home with Samsung’s Super Big Vision AI TVs.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the reigning global No. 1 TV and soundbar brand, Samsung continues to expand entertainment experiences at home with its line of sound and display innovations. Whether it’s settling in for a movie marathon, catching a game with the family, or simply making your day indoors more productive, Super Big Vision AI TVs give you a bigger way to enjoy the things you love.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Your Couch Is the Best Seat for Bigger, More Cinematic Viewing</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Staying at home means you can get lost in a good movie with the ones you love. With the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tvs/micro-rgb/r85h-100-inch-4k-smart-tv-mra100r85hgxxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">100” Micro RGB Vision AI TV</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, you can bring cinematic magic straight to your living room. Built with Samsung’s Micro RGB Precision Color100, the TV renders VDE-certified colors for brighter images, and more accurate hues across the display with less color bleeding. This display preserves even the finest detail, so you can take in the scenes of your favorite films exactly as they were intended.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To take your viewing experience further, the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro upscales every content to 4K quality. Through the Supersize Picture Enhancer feature, the TV optimizes picture quality to make every content look its best on a super big screen. For an even fuller home cinema experience, you can pair the TV with a compatible soundbar, like the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/audio-devices/soundbar/q990h-black-hw-q990h-xp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Q990H 11.1.4ch QSoundbar</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, using Q-Symphony. This enables the TV and soundbar to work together, producing synchronized audio that creates greater depth and dimension for your viewing. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Mornings at Home Don’t Have to Start Slow</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Escaping the dry, scorching weather doesn’t have to mean putting the day on pause. However you choose to ease into the day—whether it’s by catching up on the news, checking the weather, getting in a workout, or simply enjoying some entertainment—Samsung’s Super Big Vision AI TVs let you start your morning better within the comfort of your home.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tvs/uhd-4k-tv/u9000h-98-inch-crystal-uhd-4k-smart-tv-ua98u9000hgxxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">98” Crystal UHD Vision AI TV</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> brings your daily moments to a larger scale. Powered by the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor, it offers optimized picture and sound quality. Through AI, Color Booster Pro, the TV enhances color expression for more vivid and dynamic visuals. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Besides impressive visuals, the TV delivers an intelligent performance like no other, thanks to Vision AI Companion. Using natural, conversational language, you can ask the TV about the weather or the latest news, or check information that’s relevant to your day. You can even ask the TV to pull up a workout video that you can follow to help you get moving. With a super big TV, even gloomy mornings can begin in a super big way.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With a Samsung Vision AI TV, there is no shortage of content to fill your days at home. The built-in Samsung TV Plus app gives you access to more than 750 channels and thousands of on-demand content at no additional cost. So when you finish watching one movie or series, you can always find what to watch next on your screen.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Make the Most Out of Your Time Indoors</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spending the day at home can also be an opportunity to catch up on your personal goals, from fitness goals to beating your personal best at gaming. Unlock limitless possibilities to enrich every aspect of your daily life indoors with the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tvs/qled-tv/qn80h-100-inch-neo-qled-4k-samsung-vision-ai-smart-tv-qa100qn80hgxxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">100” Neo QLED Vision AI TV</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Its Quantum Mini LED technology uses smaller LEDs to produce striking contrast, brighter highlights, and more defined details. Engineered with the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor, the TV automatically optimizes picture and sound to make it easier to follow a fast-paced home workout video.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Its built-in SmartThings connectivity enables the massive TV to become the ultimate workout buddy. Pairing your Galaxy Watch to the TV allows you to view important fitness metrics, such as heart rate and calories burned while exercising, on the screen. This gives you a bigger, better view of your workout, keeping the most important information visible. SmartThings also lets you connect other compatible devices on a single platform, so you can manage your home even while you’re locked in on your fitness routine. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To ensure your TV experience remains protected, the Samsung Knox Security secures your sensitive data and information. It also blocks malicious apps and websites to safeguard your connected experience. And with up to 7 years of One UI Tizen OS upgrades, your super big Vision AI TV gets better over time. This keeps your TV updated with the latest features and technologies, so you can keep enjoying premium entertainment for years to come.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Whether it’s cheering for your favorite team, settling in for a gaming session, or having a karaoke party, the TV gives families and friends a more expansive screen ideal for the moments they want to experience together. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The TV’s Mini LED Technology uses smaller backlights to produce richer images with stronger contrast, vibrant highlights, and more defined details. Pure Spectrum Color delivers more precise color expression across a wider range, making sports arenas and virtual worlds appear more vivid and immersive.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sports fans can feel closer to the action without leaving home as the TV’s AI Football Mode optimizes the picture and sound for football viewing. This helps the pitch appear more vivid, while making the action easier to follow, so you can bring the excitement of the pitch right into the living room. When the commentators or the sound of the crowd distract you from the match, AI Sound Controller allows you to adjust sound elements—like voice or background noise—to enhance your listening experience and keep you focused on the action.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Your Next Big Victory Starts at Home</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the weather keeps you indoors, there is no shortage of virtual realms to explore.

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9375" src="https://news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/SFT26-Last-Call-Press-Release.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the submission deadline draws closer, the search for the Philippines’ top Changemakers through Samsung Philippines Solve for Tomorrow 2026 enters its final stretch. The nationwide innovation competition calls on students to address local challenges and help shape a better future for their communities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With nearly ₱2 million worth of prizes at stake, Samsung Philippines Solve for Tomorrow continues to inspire Filipino youth to use science, technology, and creativity to make a meaningful difference in their communities, even at a young age.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The challenge remains open to all Grades 8 to 10 students enrolled in government-managed science high schools across the country. Each team can have up to four (4) members, guided by one (1) teacher adviser. Together, they are encouraged to explore the issues closest to their hearts, whether championing environmental sustainability, driving social change through sports and technology, or tackling local challenges with the help of artificial intelligence, to create solutions that can make a lasting impact.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Entries must be submitted on or before 02 November, 2026, marking the last chance to be among this year’s Changemakers driving positive change.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alongside a meaningful learning experience throughout their journey, the top teams will also receive exciting prizes. The grand champion will receive ₱400,000 worth of Samsung devices for their school, along with ₱200,000 worth of gadgets for the team and adviser. They will also take home ₱100,000 in cash, with an additional ₱30,000 for the teacher-adviser.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The second-place winner will receive ₱300,000 worth of Samsung devices for their school, ₱200,000 worth of gadgets for the team, ₱70,000 in cash for the members, and ₱25,000 for their adviser. The third-place winner will bring home ₱175,000 worth of Samsung devices for their school, ₱200,000 worth of gadgets for the team, ₱50,000 in cash for the members, and ₱15,000 for their adviser.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The rest of the Top 10 finalists will not leave empty-handed as each team will be awarded ₱15,000 in cash, while their dedicated teacher-advisers will receive ₱5,000 each in recognition of their guidance and support throughout the competition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>A Generation of Changemakers</h3>
<p>Last year, Solve for Tomorrow celebrated the winning teams from Cavite Science Integrated School: Team MaHeMo for its solar-powered buoy that monitors mangrove health and Team EGGNovation for its automated egg-sorting system. Meanwhile, Team BANTALAY of Tuguegarao City Science High School proposed a solar-powered pest trap to support more sustainable farming.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since introducing the first Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has continued to refine the foldable experience through eight generations of innovation, shaped by how people use their devices every day. This continued evolution has resonated with consumers worldwide, including those in across Southeast Asia and Oceania, where sales of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra have grown 40% compared to the Galaxy Z Fold7.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Beyond advances in design and durability, the latest Galaxy Z Fold8 Series has expanded the possibilities of the foldable form factor – enabling users to multitask, create and edit content, and capture and enjoy their favorite moments, with each foldable designed around different needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here is a closer look at what sets the Galaxy Z Fold8 Series apart:</p>
<h3><strong>Engineered With Excellence</strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9330" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-Image-1.png" alt="" width="1375" height="914" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-Image-1.png 1375w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-Image-1-847x563.png 847w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-Image-1-768x511.png 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Unrivalled-Foldable-Experiences-Samsungs-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Series_SEAO-Infographic-Image-1-1024x681.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1375px) 100vw, 1375px" /></p>
