Now in its third year supporting the Galaxy Manila Marathon, Samsung continues to strengthen its commitment to a community driven not only by performance, but by progress, connection, and healthier everyday habits. Set to take place in celebration of Philippine Independence, the Galaxy Manila Marathon champions the Filipino spirit of resilience, grit, perseverance, and the freedom to move forward at one’s own pace. Building on this spirit of connection and everyday wellness, Samsung’s “Run with Galaxy” initiative showcases a seamlessly connected ecosystem designed to support every wellness experience. 

This year’s event also ushers in a landmark partnership with SM Supermalls and RUNRIO through the Galaxy Manila Marathon to key cities across the country, including Clark, Cebu, Iloilo, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro. Supported by the Department of Tourism (DOT), all routes under the series are certified by the World Athletics and Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS), and sanctioned by the Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA).

From training to recovery, stay in tune with the Galaxy Watch8 series

At the center of this ecosystem are the Galaxy Watch8, Galaxy Watch8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra, designed to deliver meaningful performance insights through Samsung Health. From pacing and endurance to recovery and overall wellness, runners are equipped with a clearer understanding of how they move and how to improve over time.

With Running Coach delivering personalized training plans and real-time guidance tailored to fitness level, and Energy Score offering a daily read on physical and mental readiness, each run becomes more intentional. Meanwhile, advanced sleep tools like Bedtime Guidance and Vascular Load also support recovery by optimizing rest and tracking overnight strain, so recovery is just as informed as training; because the best performance plans are not based on guesswork, they are built, one data point at a time.

Even Ugandan world champion and Team Galaxy athlete Jacob Kiplimo, who recently finished third at the London Marathon with an extraordinary time of 2:00:09, has spoken about the value of objective performance analysis in helping athletes understand their limits and refine future goals. That same mindset powers Samsung’s approach to connected fitness: technology that not only records performance, but helps shape it.

In sync with your stride, in frame from start to finish

Completing that experience is the Galaxy Buds4 series, designed to keep runners locked into every stride. With immersive Hi-Fi sounds, Adaptive Noise Cancellation, and real-time Ambient Sound control, it tunes out distraction when focus matters and lets the world back in when safety calls. Whether it is an easy recovery jog, an all-out tempo session, or voice-guided cues through Samsung Health, the Galaxy Buds4 series stay seamlessly in sync with every pace, turning each session into a fully immersive, uninterrupted flow.

And because every milestone deserves to be captured as vividly as it felt, the Galaxy S26 Ultra turns race-day moments into lasting highlights. Equipped with a pro-grade camera system, enhanced Nightography, advanced stabilization and Horizontal Lock, and AI-powered image processing, it captures everything from early-morning runs to finish-line victories in stunning detail. Whether it is motion shots on the move or post-run selfies, every frame comes out sharp, cinematic, and ready to share before the cooldown even begins.

Together, the Galaxy ecosystem transforms every run into a more connected and intelligent wellness journey. From training to recovery to race-day memories, every step is supported, understood, and elevated.

By controlling how pixels disperse light, it’s a customizable feature that ensures that only the intended user sees the content clearly, while those nearby perceive a dimmed or obscured view. 

Powered by Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, an Enhanced Vapor Chamber, and Super Fast Charging 3.0 which minimizes downtime by reaching up to 75% charge in just 30 minutes, the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers uncompromising performance, security, and efficiency in one sleek device.

Experience Intuitive with Galaxy AI

Introduced for the first time, Now Nudge analyzes what’s on your screen and provides smart, contextual suggestions right from your keyboard toolbar so you never have to jump between apps. While the enhanced Now Brief can now proactively surface timely reminders for important events based on your personal context, helping you stay organized throughout the day. Powered by its built-in on-device learning it delivers smarter personalization without sharing data externally, meaning the more you use it, the smarter it gets for you specifically.

Bixby, on the other hand, returns as a conversational device agent, a convenient upgrade that helps users easily navigate their devices and adjust settings using natural language, without digging in the settings and even the need for exact terminology or commands.

To prevent the frustration of receiving spam or uncalled-for calls, Samsung introduces Call Screening. Galaxy AI intelligently identifies suspicious numbers in real time, by asking first who is the caller and their intention, giving you the option to decline or accept. This ensures that only the calls that truly matter reach you, adding an extra layer of convenience and peace of mind.

Galaxy AI also helps redefine the way users express and create with the enhanced Photo Assist  that now allows users to easily make a photo taken during daytime to a night shot, remove unwanted people in the background, and even complete a photo by adding other elements, all by simply typing it. 

Creative Studio, on the other hand, allows users to customize or create stickers, wallpapers, invitations, etc easily from a sketch or by using a prompt. The upgraded Audio Eraser has also been refined and is now accessible in third‑party applications such as Instagram and YouTube.

While all these features use and analyze the user’s data daily, Samsung Knox provides multi-layered security, protecting Galaxy devices from the chip level up. On-device Galaxy AI runs on the Personal Data Engine (PDE) for context-aware personalization, secured by Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) and Knox Vault, which isolates sensitive data in dedicated hardware. With user controls for AI features, the Galaxy S26 series combines hardware and software to deliver system-wide protection for personal data.

Complete the seamless Galaxy experience with Samsung’s latest audio innovations — Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Galaxy Buds4. The Buds4 Pro feature a wider woofer, upgraded Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and an adaptive equalizer for richer sound. Users can also launch AI agents like Bixby, Google Gemini, and Perplexity hands-free with voice controls.
