Vasovagal syncope occurs when a person’s heart rate and blood pressure drop abruptly due to factors like excessive stress, leading to a temporary loss of consciousness. While the fainting spell itself is typically not life-threatening, sudden falls can cause severe secondary injuries like fractures or concussions, making early prediction critically important for prevention.

“Up to 40% of people experience vasovagal syncope over their lifetime, with one-third experiencing recurrent episodes,” said Professor Junhwan Cho of the Department of Cardiology at Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital. “An early warning could give patients advance time to get into a safe position or call for help, which would dramatically reduce the incidence of secondary injuries.”

The joint research team, led by Professor Cho, conducted evaluations on 132 patients with suspected VVS symptoms during induced fainting tests. Using a Galaxy Watch equipped with a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, the team analyzed the watch’s heart rate variability (HRV) data with an AI algorithm. The model successfully predicted impending fainting episodes up to five minutes in advance with 84.6 percent accuracy, at a clinically meaningful sensitivity of 90 percent and a specificity of 64 percent.

“This study is an example of how wearable technology can help shift healthcare from being designed for ‘post-care’ to a model of ‘preventive care,’” said Jongmin Choi, Head of Health R&D Group, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business, Samsung Electronics. “We are committed to driving technological innovation that empowers our users to lead healthier everyday lives.”

The research findings were published in Volume 7, Issue 4 of “European Heart Journal – Digital Health,” a leading medical journal and they represent the world’s first study to successfully demonstrate the potential for a commercial smartwatch to provide early prediction of syncope.

Samsung plans to further advance the health monitoring capabilities of its wearable portfolio and expand collaboration with leading medical institutions. Through these efforts, the company aims to lead the digital health industry and accelerate the implementation of personalized, preventive health solutions.

In response, Samsung asked a simple question — can anyone create Hollywood-style videos on a Galaxy mobile phone? The answer is the Cinematic Look-Up Table (Cine LUT) feature on the Galaxy S26 series. While theAPV codec provides the foundation for cinema-quality video, Cine LUT brings a distinct color style to the footage.

Cine LUT makes professional-level color grading — once reserved for experts — accessible to anyone. Samsung collaborated with internal teams and external specialists to bring the feature to life. The Mobile eXperience (MX) Business led final camera implementation, Samsung Research developed core video processing technologies and U5K Imageworks — a colorist studio behind globally recognized productions — helped shape its visual aesthetic.

Following the introduction of the APV codec, which delivers a visually lossless level of image quality, Samsung Newsroom spoke with three key developers behind Cine LUT — Sugon Baek of the Camera Image Quality R&D Group at the MX Business, Bomi Kim of the Reality Media Lab at Samsung Research and Taesik Eom, CEO of U5K Imageworks — to hear the story of its creation.

▲ (From left) Taesik Eom, Bomi Kim and Sugon Baek

Q. What is a LUT? What sets Cine LUT on the Galaxy S26 series apart?

Baek: A LUT is essentially a “map” that transforms one set of colors into a desired look. Unlike conventional filters that simply overlay color, Cine LUT reinterprets Samsung Log¹ footage to deliver the depth and look of professional filmmaking.

Kim: It’s optimized for Log video. By leveraging its wide gradation,² the feature precisely reconstructs color and brightness to preserve subtle tonal details often lost with conventional filters for richer, more natural depth.

▲ Comparison of Log footage in standard settings and with the Coming-of-age LUT and Romance LUT

Q. What led to the development of Cine LUT?

Kim: While Galaxy devices supported Log video for high-quality capture, color grading remained challenging for users. We aimed to make professional-looking results accessible without advanced editing skills.

Baek: We wanted to create an experience that lets users preview cinematic footage at the moment of capture, then apply a LUT and share the video with a single tap in the Gallery.

▲ (From left) Bomi Kim of the Reality Media Lab at Samsung Research and Sugon Baek of the Camera Image Quality R&D Group at MX Business

Q. How did the collaboration with U5K Imageworks begin? How was Cine LUT developed?

Eom: Our collaboration began two years ago with Rec. 709 LUT advisory work for Samsung Log video, where we refined strong colors into more natural tones — an experience that led to Cine LUT. For this project, we developed multiple versions across three intensity levels — neutral, soft and strong — and tested them in diverse scenes, ultimately selecting four core styles.

Kim: Building on U5K’s color direction, we validated the concepts against quantitative criteria to ensure consistent performance in different environments, refining them through testing until creative intent and technical quality aligned.

▲ Taesik Eom, CEO of U5K Imageworks

Q. What challenges did you face during development?

Kim: We needed a large dataset to validate performance across diverse conditions. Testing in real-world environments — from natural and indoor lighting to day and night — and close collaboration were key to capturing the nuances of color.

Baek: Maintaining consistent, undistorted color in different environments was challenging. Through continuous testing, we developed a LUT that balances subjective preference with objective quality.

Q. What was the key consideration in creating looks optimized for mobile phones?

Eom: Ensuring reliable performance in real-world conditions was key. Since lighting, exposure and white balance constantly vary, we focused on creating looks that remain natural in any situation.

Kim: Quality was our top priority. We analyzed each frame and validated performance using tools like color charts, gray balance and vector scopes.

Q. Why were these four styles chosen for the Galaxy S26 series?

Baek: We analyzed the visual language of popular film genres and identified four representative styles. From the high-contrast Blockbuster to the fresh Coming-of-age, warm Romance and moody Thriller, each color palette was designed to give everyday scenes an instant cinematic look.

Q. What are your plans for the future?

Baek: We aim to further establish the Galaxy S26 series as a professional-grade camera. We hope to see more content that resonates with both creators and viewers and will continue to set new standards in video creation.

 

Kim:As the world changes rapidly, our goal is to identify next-generation technologies. Through close collaboration with business divisions, we will work to bring them into products and deliver innovative experiences to users around the world.

Born from close collaboration, Cine LUT on the Galaxy S26 series transforms everyday moments into cinematic visuals. Beyond its technical achievements, the feature marks an important step toward making video creation more accessible — lowering barriers once reserved for professionals and enabling anyone to express themselves.

 

Heesub Han, a commercial and documentary director, shot a series of short films on Galaxy S26 Ultra using the APV codec and Samsung Log. Explore the videos below to discover the possibilities of Cine LUT through the making-of and short films.

Shen as her character ‘Jin’, flawlessly fixing a last-minute Miranda Priestly request using Circle to Search with Google on the new Galaxy S26 Ultra.

As part of the global team-up, the Galaxy S26 Ultra shone during its red-carpet moment at the global premiere for The Devil Wears Prada 2. In an activation that would leave even Miranda Priestly proud, Galaxy S26 Ultra was used to capture the stunning red carpet looks of attendees, making it the first-ever Runway Cam #withGalaxy that delivered jaw dropping professional-grade footage with a cinematic, social post-ready feel.

Stars like Helen J. Shen, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Heidi Klum, Paige DeSorbo, Hannah Berner, and Winnie Harlow posed for the Galaxy S26 Ultra photo-op to capture their memorable looks as seen below.

Galaxy S26 Ultra user and influencer Haley Kalil (@hayleebaylee) participated in the photo experience.

About The Devil Wears Prada 2

Twenty years after making their iconic turns as Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in 20th Century Studios’ “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon that defined a generation. The film is directed by David Frankel, written by Aline Brosh McKenna, produced by Wendy Finerman, and executive produced by Michael Bederman, Karen Rosenfelt and Aline Brosh McKenna.

More than a Device – the Integral Role TVs play in a Household

From little children captivated by their favourite cartoons, to couples unwinding with a romantic film, friends sharing their excitement over major sporting events and families gathering for blockbuster action movie nights together, the television has never been just a screen. More than just another electronic device, TVs have earned an important spot in households, bringing people together, shaping shared experiences, and creating lasting memories. Beyond entertainment, TVs have provided something more meaningful – quality time with the ones who matter.

After all, they are not simply buying a device, but investing in a centrepiece of their homes – one that will stand the test of time, creating more special moments in the years to come.

Samsung’s 20-year run as the World’s top TV brand¹ reflects a legacy carefully built on maintaining our commitment to provide high quality visual experiences for the long-term. This expertise in the display sector also extends beyond TV screens. Reinforcing our leadership in another household’s touchpoint, we have recently retained our position as the for the seventh consecutive year ².

Across the region, AI is now changing the TV’s role from passive display to active companion and consumers are navigating an ecosystem crowded with AI-powered devices, platforms, and services. However, due to a lack of intentional and effective integration into existing infrastructure, it can still be challenging for promising AI solutions to deliver the trustworthy and tangible value they claim to offer.

What Two Decades of Leadership Really Means

In market after market, and year after year, consumers have chosen Samsung not simply because of feature innovation, but because our solutions perform as promised. That consistency is supported by service networks, software updates, and retailer partnerships. Samsung’s reputation for reliability and innovation is also driven by word-of-mouth between family and friends – which our research ³ has identified as the top information touchpoint for consumers considering Samsung.

The market is now more competitive than at any point in Samsung’s 20-year run as the World’s top TV brand⁴. But we welcome the competition; it is what has kept us sharp. We know that the brands that will define the next 20 years will be those which can balance the pursuit of innovative technology with consistent delivery of experiences that consumers can trust in.

AI, Designed for the Long Game

At the core of Samsung’s 2026 line-up is Vision AI — a platform that works in the background, analysing content, user preferences, and the viewing environment in real time to automatically optimise picture and sound. This is not a feature you switch on, but is intelligence built into the device architecture itself, from the Micro RGB’s AI Engine Pro which renders precise colour reproduction frame by frame, to system-level integration that ensures hardware and software work as one. Harnessing this depth of integration allows us to deliver experiences that continually adapt to be meaningful for every user.

Building on this foundation is Vision AI Companion, the conversational layer that transforms the TV from a display that responds to commands into one that delivers a more natural and conversational experience. Where Vision AI handles what you see and hear, Vision AI Companion responds to what you ask and say. It understands contextual, casual prompts the way a friend might: “Can you recommend a movie for me to watch tonight?” or “What’s the recipe for that dish on screen?”. Far from being a search engine mapped onto a remote control, it functions through natural conversations.

Together, they represent a trust signal that AI is not reserved for only premium buyers. Vision AI and Vision AI Companion are not limited to flagship models but available across nearly Samsung’s entire 2026 4K and above TV line-up, from the Micro RGB 130-inch down to Crystal UHD TVs, not as a luxury add-on, but a standard part of the Samsung TV experience.

This long-game approach extends to how we protect and sustain that experience over time. As consumers embrace AI more deeply, the user experience must be grounded in the principle that access to personal information is limited to the specific task at hand.

Operating within a robust, hardware-level security framework like Samsung Knox ensures that personal data remains protected on-device and is shared only when required. And because a television is considered a long-term investment for most households, our TVs are built on the One UI Tizen ⁵ platform that comes with up to seven years⁶ of OS software upgrades — maintaining security and delivering new features over time, so that consumers can be confident that today’s purchase remains fully supported well into the future.

Establishing Dependable Experiences in the AI Era

The region’s openness to advanced technology, multi-generational households, passion for sports and gaming, and diverse content ecosystem mean that serving SEAO consumers well requires a carefully curated product portfolio with offerings that meet their needs

It has required listening closely and responding precisely. Features like AI Soccer Mode⁷ — built for the biggest international sporting moments of the year — and the Samsung Art Store’s ever-expanding collection from global and regional curators were not accidental innovations. They were thoughtfully and intentionally designed based on two decades of understanding how people really live with their televisions. And of course, naturally made available in SEAO for our regional consumers.

Twenty years ago, Samsung made a promise to consumers around the world: to deliver television experiences worthy of their trust, their living rooms, and their passions. That promise has not changed. What has grown is our capacity to honour it, through deeper technology, stronger partnerships, and a more nuanced understanding of what consumers across diverse markets truly need. Vision AI is the most powerful expression of that commitment to date.

As we celebrate twenty years as the world’s leading TV brand, we do so with a clear sense of what that tenure means and what it demands. It reflects a track record of delivering on what we set out to do, and the confidence to continue maintaining that trust by ensuring that every innovation we bring to market makes life in homes across the globe, including SEAO, richer, smarter, and more connected to the things that matter most. That is the standard that we will hold ourselves to for the next twenty years and beyond.
