																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since introducing the first <strong>Galaxy Fold at 276 grams in 2019</strong>, Samsung Electronics has continued to expand what a foldable smartphone can be, advancing hinge and display design, durability and usability with every generation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As those technologies evolved, Samsung focused on another challenge: <strong>making a large-screen foldable easier to carry every day, without losing the experiences that make the form factor unique.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And through that pursuit, <strong>Galaxy Z Fold5 </strong><strong>weighed</strong><strong> 253 grams,</strong> and Galaxy Z Fold6 reduced its weight further to <strong>239 grams</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Galaxy Z Fold7 came an even more ambitious goal:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>“Could a foldable be lighter than a bar-type flagship smartphone?”</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the time, Galaxy S25 Ultra — one of Samsung’s flagship bar-type smartphones — weighed <strong>218 grams</strong>. So, the development team set an even lighter weight target for Galaxy Z Fold7: <strong>215 grams</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold7 reached that goal. And now, building on years of foldable innovation, Galaxy Z Fold8 combines a new form factor with advances in core technologies, materials and internal architecture to weigh just <strong>201 grams — 52 grams lighter than Galaxy Z Fold5</strong>. At 201 grams, Galaxy Z Fold8 is <strong>the world’s lightest fold</strong>.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_8997" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-8997 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/01_Galaxy-Z-Fold-Heritage_Final-1024x576.png" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/01_Galaxy-Z-Fold-Heritage_Final-1024x576.png 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/01_Galaxy-Z-Fold-Heritage_Final-728x410.png 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/01_Galaxy-Z-Fold-Heritage_Final-1000x563.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/01_Galaxy-Z-Fold-Heritage_Final-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Galaxy Z Fold’s weight and thickness evolution by generation, from 276 grams and 17.1 millimeters with the first Galaxy Fold to Galaxy Z Fold8 at 201 grams and 9.7 millimeters, the world’s lightest foldable, alongside Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra at 8.9 millimeters thick.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But consumers expected more than just a lighter foldable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A <a href="https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/50945-foldable-phones-high-interest-among-young-adults-durability-a-major-concern" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 YouGov survey</a><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> found that a <strong>bulky or heavy design</strong> remained a concern among consumers not planning to purchase foldables, while <strong>battery life, durability and display quality</strong> ranked as top priorities for those considering them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This insight shaped a core engineering goal for Samsung: <strong>make foldables thinner and lighter, while maintaining the core experiences users value most.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Battery life, camera performance, thermal management and durability still had to advance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That could not be achieved by changing a single component. Samsung engineers had to reimagine the entire device — <strong>advancing fundamental foldable technologies, introducing new materials and revisiting hundreds of components and auxiliary parts to the fraction-of-a-gram level.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>From 253 grams to 201 grams.</strong> Three engineering innovations enabled that transformation.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: center;"><iframe style="aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; width: 100% !important;" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/08173710/Samsung-Mobile-Engineering-Behind-Fold_Main2.mp4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span></iframe></div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>▲ From Galaxy Z Fold5 to Galaxy Z Fold8, Samsung reduced 52 grams to deliver the world’s lightest foldable.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The Thinner and Lighter a Foldable Gets, the More Precise the Engineering Must Become</h3>
<p>Making a foldable thinner and lighter brings a new set of engineering challenges.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The layers inside the display need to become thinner while still meeting Samsung’s durability and reliability requirements. The metal plate supporting the display needs to stay extremely flat even as it becomes thinner. And the hinge has to manage the forces created every time the device folds and unfolds, while being designed around the size and structure of each product.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Across generations, Samsung has continued to advance the <strong>display layers, ultra-thin metal precision machining and hinge technologies</strong> central to its foldable devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One example is <strong><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-introduces-flex-titanium-foldable-display-technology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flex Titanium</a></strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The displays in Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra use Flex Titanium technology featuring a <strong>Titanium Alloy Film</strong> designed for the foldable display structure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The film is just <strong>tens of micrometers thick — roughly one-third the width of a human hair</strong>. Its material and structure work together to maintain performance at this extreme thickness.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The metal plate that supports the display presents a different challenge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some metal plates are machined to approximately <strong>0.2 millimeters</strong> thick, with the thinnest sections reaching <strong>0.15 millimeters</strong>. At that level, simply making the metal thinner is not enough. Thin metal can bend or warp more easily during machining, and even a small change in shape can affect assembly precision or the surface quality of the display.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What matters is the ability to <strong>machine ultra-thin metal at around 0.2 millimeters while consistently achieving the required shape and flatness</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung refined the machining sequence, tooling, cooling conditions and process parameters, breaking the process into multiple stages to maintain precision.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The hinge requires the same level of care.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Beyond simply opening and closing the phone, it must distribute the forces created by repeated folding and unfolding across the device while maintaining structural stability.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And these requirements vary by product size and architecture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung engineers the hinge for each form factor, carefully balancing <strong>load distribution, strength, durability, internal space and weight</strong> rather than just scaling it down from one generation to the next.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Creating a thinner and lighter foldable requires more than downsizing individual parts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It comes from <strong>greater precision in how materials are machined, how forces are managed and how structures are designed within a limited space.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Lighter, Built for Strength — Starting With the Materials</h3>
<p>The second area is <strong>materials innovation</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Different parts of a foldable have very different jobs. Some demand high rigidity. Some must withstand repeated movement. Others need to spread heat efficiently.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung selects and develops materials around those specific needs, delivering the performance each requires while optimizing weight and space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, <strong>Flex Titanium</strong> incorporates a <strong>Titanium Alloy Film</strong> to support the foldable display structure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the exterior, Samsung uses <strong>Advanced Armor Aluminum</strong>, helping provide the strength and durability needed in a thin and lightweight frame.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Materials also play an important role in thermal management.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a device gets thinner, there is less room to manage the heat generated inside. Samsung uses <strong>graphite with improved thermal performance</strong>, while tailoring the overall thermal structure to the size and performance requirements of each product.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In <strong>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra</strong>, which has similar overall dimensions to Galaxy Z Fold7, the volume of the <strong>graphite heat-dissipation layer was increased by approximately 7%</strong> to help support its enhanced performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung also applies <strong>Clad Metal</strong> inside the rear of the device. By combining the characteristics of different metals, the material helps reduce weight while providing the thermal performance required within a thin structure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Materials innovation is therefore not just about choosing lighter options, but about <strong>using the right material in the right place to deliver the performance each part needs with less weight and space.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Looking Again at the Entire Device — Down to 0.001 Grams</h3>
<p>Only so much can be achieved through core technologies and new materials alone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a foldable already packed with highly integrated components, finding the next few grams means <strong>looking again at almost everything inside the device.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung engineers reviewed approximately <strong>270 components and more than 180 types of auxiliary parts</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This spanned everything from the display, hinge and cameras to circuit boards, antennas, brackets, tapes and fasteners.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The precision extended to reductions <strong>of 0.1 grams</strong> and <strong>0.1 millimeters</strong>, <strong>and in some auxiliary parts, as little as</strong><strong> 0.001 grams.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The printed circuit board, or PCB, was redesigned to remove unnecessary circuits, improve component layout and minimize its footprint.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <strong>MFC (Magnetic Flux Channel) antenna</strong> was also reimagined to reduce unnecessary overlap and interference with surrounding components, allowing the limited internal space to be used more efficiently.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Every auxiliary part, no matter how small, was examined.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of the more than 180 types previously used, <strong>approximately 15 were eliminated</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Engineers then reviewed the remaining<strong> 170 types, </strong>trimming oversized areas, refining shapes and optimizing dimensions. Multiple parts were consolidated into single structures where possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In some cases, the savings were measured in increments as small as <strong>0.001 grams</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Each change seems minor in isolation, but repeated across the device, fractions of a gram become tenths of a gram, then whole grams.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The weight savings on a finished device result from hundreds of small engineering decisions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Finding 6 Grams Again to Make Room for More</h3>
<p>The goal was to <strong>reinvest the weight and space recovered through engineering into the capabilities people actually experience — including the battery, cameras and thermal system.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra provides a separate example of how this approach can be applied.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold7 have <strong>similar overall dimensions and both weigh 215 grams</strong>. But within that same weight, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra increases battery capacity from <strong>4,400 mAh to 5,000 mAh</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That larger battery brought its own challenge: <strong>the battery itself added approximately 6 grams.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So the development team faced a new question:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>“Where could we find those 6 grams again?”</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There was no single component that could provide the answer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Instead, engineers applied the same systematic approach across the entire device — materials and structures, circuit layouts and component placement, down to the smallest auxiliary parts — identifying weight savings across all components.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This strategy extended to internal space optimization.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By reducing unnecessary overlap between the display, circuits, antennas and surrounding components, and by improving packaging efficiency, Samsung created room for a larger battery and enhanced thermal and camera systems.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a result, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra accommodates a <strong>5,000 mAh battery</strong> while increasing the volume of its <strong>graphite heat-dissipation layer by approximately 7% compared with the similarly sized Galaxy Z Fold7</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra features <strong>a 200 MP main camera and introduces the first 50 MP Ultra-Wide camera</strong> <strong>on a Galaxy Z Fold device</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung&#8217;s approach to a thinner and lighter foldable is therefore not about removing capabilities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is about <strong>redirecting weight and space savings toward the flagship experiences users value most.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>From 253 Grams to 201 Grams: Redefining the Weight Standard for Foldables</h3>
<p>The journey began with the first <strong>Galaxy Fold at 276 grams in 2019</strong>. Across eight generations, Samsung has continued to advance the technologies, materials and internal architecture behind the foldable experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In recent generations, that progress accelerated — from <strong>253 grams with Galaxy Z Fold5 to 201 grams with Galaxy Z Fold8</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But the story isn’t just about reducing weight.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s goal has been to make a large-screen foldable easier to carry without giving up the qualities users expect from a flagship smartphone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The weight and space recovered through advances in core technologies, materials and component design were put back into <strong>the battery, cameras, thermal system and other flagship experiences users value most.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>From 253 grams to 201 grams.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>No single material or component made that transformation possible.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Eight generations of engineering enabled this, advancing core technologies, introducing new materials and rethinking the entire device to make Galaxy Z Fold easier to carry without compromising the flagship experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Galaxy Z Fold Series: A Thinner, Lighter Journey in Numbers</h3>
<p><strong>&#8211; 52 g</strong><br />
Galaxy Z Fold8 is <strong>52 grams lighter</strong> than Galaxy Z Fold5.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>1/3, 0.2 mm</strong><br />
The <strong>Titanium Alloy Film</strong> used in Flex Titanium is approximately <strong>one-third the width of a human hair</strong>, while ultra-thin metal structures supporting the display are precision-machined to around <strong>0.2 millimeters</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>~270 / 180+ / 0.001 g</strong><br />
Samsung re-examined approximately <strong>270 components and more than 180 types of auxiliary parts</strong>, optimizing some down to <strong>0.001 grams</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>5,000 mAh / +~7% / 200 MP + 50 MP</strong><br />
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra features a <strong>5,000 mAh battery</strong>, approximately <strong>7% more graphite heat-dissipation volume</strong> and a <strong>200 MP main camera with a 50 MP Ultra-Wide camera</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">With all the best things from the Galaxy S26 series, the Galaxy S26 FE is the gateway to the premium Galaxy experience — made for the way you live and create, so you can get more out of every day.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b>Welcome to Galaxy S</b></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What sets the Galaxy S experience apart is its premium and intelligent camera capabilities that make capturing special moments easier in high quality, an experience that the Galaxy S26 FE delivers from hardware to features, powered by Galaxy AI.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Galaxy S26 FE features an enhanced triple rear camera with advanced image processing, including a 50MP Wide Camera and 8MP Telephoto Camera that supports 3x Optical Zoom.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First introduced in the latest Galaxy Z series, it finally brings </span><b>My FanCam</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to Galaxy S — a feature that intelligently tracks a selected person, reframing video as the scene moves, for less need for manual editing. There&#8217;s also </span><b>Super Steady with Horizontal Lock</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which made waves in the market when it was launched with the Galaxy S26 series, as it lets you capture level, smooth footage while filming fast-moving activities like sports, travel, and everyday adventures.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b>Your Tool to Life-Maxxing</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Galaxy S26 FE is built to keep up with you, no matter how packed your day gets, with a </span><b>long-lasting 4,900mAh battery </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">that allows you to reach up to 69% charge in around 30 minutes with the 45W adapter.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After hustling through a busy day, there is nothing quite like a good sleep to help you fully recharge and get ready for whatever tomorrow brings. But while getting enough hours of sleep matters, so does creating an environment that’s truly conducive for restful slumber.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Building a relaxing sanctuary for a good night’s sleep is easier with Samsung’s </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/air-conditioners/wall-mount/ar60h-1-0-hp-windfree-inverter-ar60h10d1fwntc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Wall-mount Air Conditioner Comfort Inverter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Designed to deliver efficient cooling and effortless convenience to your space, the unit delivers cooling that works around your lifestyle—even your sleeping habits.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Cool Climate, Perfect for Resting</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A comfortable environment is crucial to get the kind of sleep that leaves you feeling truly rested. With the WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Wall-mount Air Conditioner Comfort Inverter, making your bedroom ideal for sleeping is quick and effortless. The unit uses AI to analyze indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and even room size to automatically activate cooling based on learned usage patterns and preferences. This means, you can enjoy cooling comfort that is tailored to your space and needs without having to constantly fumble with the settings.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To cool your room immediately, Fast Cooling delivers powerful cooling to bring the room temperature down rapidly. Once the room is comfortable, the unit can automatically switch to WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Cooling, gently dispersing air through 23,000 micro air holes across the front panel to help you stay cool without the unpleasant sensation of a strong cold draft. During the rainy season or while you&#8217;re deep in slumber, Dry Comfort mode enables the unit to dehumidify your room and prevents overcooling.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More than powerful performance, the unit is thoughtfully designed to fit into any space with a compact outdoor unit for space-conscious homes. With its slimmer design, the unit delivers efficient cooling through its Digital Inverter Boost technology, automatically controlling the compressor’s operating frequency to maintain your preferred temperature.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Technology for Uninterrupted Sleep<br />
<b></b></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The smallest disturbances, like the noise from your air conditioner, affect the quality of your sleep. Through WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology, the air conditioner helps minimize interruptions to your rest. WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Low Noise technology disperses air gently, creating an extremely low air speed that generates far less air friction and, in turn, less noise. Its twin compressor also produces less vibration than a single compressor, so instead of a constant hum in the background, you get a room that stays cool and quiet enough to help you drift off with ease.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The unit is especially suited for bedtime with its WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Wearable Good Sleep mode. When linked to a wearable device like the Galaxy Fit3, the air conditioner can detect when you have fallen asleep and automatically switch to WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Cooling to adjust its cooling performance, while still helping to create a suitable climate for a deep and pleasant slumber.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>SmartThings Convenience Handles the Little Things</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The things you love deserve a setup that helps you enjoy them to the fullest. Whether you’re settling in for a movie marathon, gathering friends for a huge watch party, or chasing your next victory, the right equipment can make every moment more immersive and enjoyable for everyone. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the global No. 1 display and soundbar brand, Samsung continues to transform your entertainment experiences with premium technology designed around the way you watch, listen, play and connect. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to upgrade, now is your chance to avail Samsung’s exclusive offers on Vision AI TVs, sound devices, and Odyssey gaming monitors.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>See Everything You Love in a Brand New Light with Vision AI TVs</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A great display can make even the most familiar content feel entirely new. With the Samsung </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tvs/qled-tv/qef1-55-inch-qled-4k-smart-tv-qa55qef1agxxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">QLED 4K Vision AI TV</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, every kind of entertainment becomes more immersive and enjoyable. The advanced Q4 AI Processor drives the TV’s display and sound optimization, helping every scene look and sound its best, while Real Quantum Dot Technology allows the TV to render a billion shades of color with 100% Color Volume. Bringing out richer contrast and finer details, Quantum HDR makes nature documentaries or intense blockbuster films look more visually stunning and lifelike, drawing you deeper into the action.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beyond delivering brilliant visuals, the TV also serves as a smart hub for all your connected devices with SmartThings, allowing you to manage your home directly from the TV. To secure your connected experience, the TV’s built-in Samsung Knox Security protects your sensitive information and blocks malicious apps and websites.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For crystal-clear viewing, the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/tvs/uhd-4k-tv/u8000f-65-inch-crystal-uhd-4k-smart-tv-ua65u8000fgxxp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> delivers crisp, detailed visuals with its Crystal Processor 4K and powerful upscaling. So whether it’s a classic film or an old TV series, any kind of content will remain looking sharper and more refined in up to 4K resolution. After you’ve gone through your watchlist, looking for your next watch is easy with the TV’s pre-installed Samsung TV Plus app. This gives you access to hundreds of live channels and thousands of on-demand titles at no extra cost.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you invest in a Samsung TV, your viewing experience continues to evolve for years, thanks to seven years of One UI Tizen OS Upgrades. This allows your TV to support the latest features and services, ensuring you always get the best experience out of your television.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Fill the Room with Sound That Moves You</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nothing pulls you deeper into entertainment quite like powerful sound. From amplifying the roar of the crowd in a live sports match to blasting lively beats for hours, Samsung sound devices elevate every moment with audio that reverberates throughout your space.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To make your viewing more cinematic, pair your Samsung TV with the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/audio-devices/soundbar/b450f-b-series-soundbar-black-hw-b450f-xp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">B450F 2.1ch Soundbar</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This produces room-filling audio through Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X technology, creating a more spacious sound experience to complement your watching experience. In the middle of an intense scene, the soundbar helps you follow along the dramatic dialogue through Adaptive Sound as it automatically adjusts the audio settings based on what you’re watching.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the moment calls for bigger audio, the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/audio-devices/sound-tower/1500w-sound-tower-black-mx-t70-xp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">MX-T70 Sound Tower</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> turns up the energy by filling the entire room with powerful, bi-directional sound, ideal for watch parties or lively gatherings with loved ones. For moments that call for a sing-along, just plug in a mic to switch to Karaoke Mode and get everyone belting out their favorite songs.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some days start with a morning run, others with a packed schedule and a much-needed hot drink. Whether it’s chasing new trails, winding down, or getting better sleep, the small choices we make each day can shape how we feel, perform, and recover. Samsung is bringing this next step in wearable health to Filipinos with the</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;"> and</span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/watches/galaxy-watch/galaxy-watch9-40mm-cream-bluetooth-sm-l340nzeaasa/buy/"> <b>Galaxy Watch9</b></a><b>.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Built to fit seamlessly into everyday life, the latest lineup brings together advanced health tracking, meaningful insights and powerful performance to help users understand their bodies and make more informed choices throughout the day.</span></p>

<h3><b>When your everyday routine reveals more with Samsung Health</b></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-8904 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/217-lifestyle-galaxy-watch-ultra2-galaxy-zfold8-ultra-vitals-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="768" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/217-lifestyle-galaxy-watch-ultra2-galaxy-zfold8-ultra-vitals-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/217-lifestyle-galaxy-watch-ultra2-galaxy-zfold8-ultra-vitals-751x563.jpg 751w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/217-lifestyle-galaxy-watch-ultra2-galaxy-zfold8-ultra-vitals-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The small things we do every day can say a lot about our </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">health – how well you slept, how much you moved, how your body responded to a workout, etc. The Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9 bring these details together through </span><b>Samsung Health</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and the smartwatches’ advanced </span><b>BioActive Sensor</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, turning complex health data into meaningful guidance. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The</span><b> Sleep Apnea</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> feature provides insights into potential breathing disruptions during sleep, while </span><b>Vitals </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">establishes a personal health baseline and can alert users to significant deviations. </span><b>Heart Health Score</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> provides an easy-to-understand view of cardiovascular wellness, while </span><b>Daily Cardio Load</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><b>Fitness Index</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> help users better understand training, recovery, and overall fitness. The new </span><b>Hearing </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">feature also helps users stay aware of potentially unsafe noise exposure through alerts and reports. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><b>Hit your everyday goals with the Galaxy Watch9 </b></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wellness is also about staying consistent with healthier </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">habits. The Galaxy Watch9 combines comprehensive health tracking with a lightweight, comfortable design made for continuous wear. Its refined aluminum casing and signature cushion silhouette provide a natural fit. Meanwhile, its range of soft-touch bands makes it easy to move from workouts and workdays to nighttime routines.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Powered by the </span><b>Snapdragon Wear Elite platform, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">the latest Galaxy Watch lineup delivers smooth and efficient performance for uninterrupted health monitoring. The </span><b>390mAh battery on the 40mm model</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><b>445mAh battery on the 44mm model</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of the Galaxy Watch9 support dependable all-day tracking, while its </span><b>up to 3,000-nit display</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> keeps information easy to see, especially outdoors.</span></p>
