<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>&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.

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>

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>&nbsp;</p>

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>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>
<p>Making a foldable thinner and lighter requires redesigning how its interconnected components work together – from the display and hinge to the battery, thermal system and internal architecture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through advances in materials and structural engineering, the latest Galaxy Z Fold8 Series achieves a thinner, lighter design while maintaining durability and key performance features, including battery life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<li>At <strong>201g</strong><a href="https://news.samsung.com/ph/unrivalled-foldable-experiences-samsungs-galaxy-z-fold8-series#:~:text=and%20Samsung%20Finance%2B.-,%5B1%5D,-Weight%20may%20vary" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a><strong>,</strong> Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>.</li>
<li>New <strong>Flex Titanium</strong> technology combines a titanium-alloy film with an enhanced titanium plate to enable a slimmer display structure, while maintaining the strength and flexibility needed for repeated folding. It also helps absorb pressure and impact while minimizing crease visibility.</li>
<li>The Galaxy Z Fold8 Series underwent <strong>more than 100 reliability validation tests</strong> covering real-world conditions, including drops, repeated folding, pressure, moisture and debris, helping identify potential issues before the product reaches consumers.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Large Screens for Every Lifestyle</strong><br />

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Samsung expands its presence in B2B business, the company broadens its product portfolio to meet diverse B2B needs, including laundry solutions, built for best-in-class performance, reliability and ease of operations.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 18kg washer offers powerful and fast performance even for large loads and items such as king-sized bedding. Washing cycles are efficient, with a normal cycle taking 36 minutes to complete<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>3</sup></span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, while Bubble Wash technology ensures effective removal of stains or detergent on clothes.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the recent update, refrigerators like the </span><b>Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> can make planning and preparation of meals much easier. Cloud intelligence makes it possible to recognize more food items than before with greater accuracy, while the SmartThings Food can recommend recipes based on the ingredients a user currently has. Additionally, the new FoodNote widget introduced this year offers tailored suggestions for a shopping list, by analyzing consumption patterns to identify frequently consumed items. </span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A single DVM S2 outdoor unit can connect up to 64 indoor units, minimizing the installation footprint, while with integrated Active AI the building’s operating patterns in real time to hold precise target temperatures and pressures.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ideal for retrofits, the DVM S2’s sub-cooling control and smaller main liquid pipe cut overall refrigerant charge by up to 30%<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>1</sup></span>— so one system can thread through an occupied building, with 10-plus indoor unit types<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>2</sup></span> to suit existing lobbies, guest rooms and open-plan floors, without major structural work.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paired with the DVM S2, SmartThings Pro enables multi-site monitoring, automated scheduling, energy analytics and reporting, and a customizable dashboard — so an entire estate runs from a single screen.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, thousands of office towers, hotels, malls and mixed-use developments were constructed before sustainability was ever a priority. With fluctuating climates across the region, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is the fastest-growing use of energy in buildings<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>3</sup></span> — and as electricity prices climb, these ageing properties grow more expensive to run every year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That makes HVAC systems the first place a retrofit should address. It is also the system most feasible for upgrading without structural work, so the return on investment materializes fast. Tearing a building down to start over, by contrast, is costly, carbon-intensive and slow. As such, a growing number of owners are now asking a different question: what if the smarter move is to upgrade what is already standing?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are hardware and management tools that can address this growing need. For instance, integrating Samsung’s AI-powered energy management solutions with its intelligent HVAC and connected building technology can help sharpen efficiency and extend a building’s life at once. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung’s </span><b>DVM S2, Samsung’s Variable Refrigerant Flow system </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">connects a single outdoor unit to as many as 64 indoor units, reducing the new piping and structural work a retrofit demands, while </span><b>SmartThings Pro’s</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> AI Energy Mode can automatically adjust each connected device against real-time conditions, electricity rates and comfort levels. Together they turn an older property into a responsive, efficient asset — without major structural renovation.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>AI-enabled HVAC management: the fastest route to energy savings</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because cooling often carries the heaviest energy load in commercial buildings, it is where a retrofit pays back fastest.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xuedZtYaU2E?rel=0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span></iframe></div>
<p><em>Preserving heritage, upgrading comfort: how the Bali Beach Hotel Sanur retrofitted Samsung’s DVM solution across lobbies, spa rooms and fitness centers</em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keen to balance historical preservation with guest comfort, the Bali Beach Hotel Sanur turned to Samsung’s DVM solution for space-tailored cooling — where temperatures are tuned to different environments like lobbies, spa rooms and fitness centers — paired with energy-saving technology and integrated B2B controls. With customizable systems and end-to-end support from consultation through to maintenance, the hotel was modernized without the upheaval a full mechanical overhaul would have forced on a heritage structure.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where the DVM S2 goes further is efficiency. Rather than running at full capacity by default, the system learns a building’s cooling patterns to intelligently maintain the precise pressures and temperatures each space requires, effectively reducing compressor energy usage by up to 15%.<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>4</sup></span> Beyond hotels, a Bangkok office tower or a Sydney shopping center can also enjoy efficiency gains from the moment the system is calibrated to how the building operates.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The rise of buildings that learn to optimize themselves</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Historically, a retrofit was a single intervention whose performance declined gradually as conditions changed. Intelligent systems overturn that premise: the building continues to learn long after installation is complete. The DVM S2 continuously detects indoor conditions and responds in real time, while SmartThings Pro’s AI Energy Mode weighs live occupancy, weather and electricity tariffs to determine how hard each unit should work at any given moment.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The outcome is a building that adapts to how it is actually used — easing demand on unoccupied floors, and shifting load away from peak-tariff periods. These features ensure efficiency is maintained over time, so a building that once needed periodic recommissioning can keep tuning its own performance, season after season.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How connected ecosystems reduce operating and maintenance costs</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The most significant long-term savings are often found not in kilowatt-hours, but in the service calls that never become necessary. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since the DVM S2 and SmartThings Pro operate on a single connected platform, a facilities team can oversee an entire estate from one dashboard: viewing real-time energy analytics, performance trends and early warnings that surface before a fault escalates into a failure.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics can identify a struggling compressor or a refrigerant leak, allowing many issues to be resolved before an engineer is dispatched. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For owners running portfolios spread across cities, multi-site monitoring consolidates a dispersed estate into a single coherent view — this means fewer emergency repairs, reduced downtime and a maintenance program guided by real-time condition data rather than fixed intervals. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This connected ecosystem approach is being incorporated into new developments like Grantz Forest Park, a mixed-use project</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">led by Samsung&#8217;s B2B Integrated Offering Center. The development is planned for Cebu, the Philippines, where residential facility managers will be able to remotely check in on the status of facilities through SmartThings Pro, while the Samsung Building Integrated Solution &#8216;b.IoT&#8217; will enable control and management of HVAC, lighting, and power facilities to enhance building energy efficiency.  </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The path forward runs through buildings we already have</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s tempting to treat new construction as the only real form of progress. But in Southeast Asia and Oceania, where HVAC systems consume significant volumes of energy and thousands of buildings already stand, the bigger opportunity isn’t in what gets built next — it’s in upgrading what’s already there.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For building owners across Southeast Asia and Oceania, the question shifts from whether to modernize, to how they can retrofit existing structures. With AI-powered HVAC solutions from Samsung, the region’s offices, hotel buildings, mixed-used developments and more, can look forward to the benefits offered by efficient and intelligent HVAC systems.     </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
