Samsung Electronics has unveiled the new Galaxy A08, bringing more capable performance, long-term reliability and core AI experiences to users. Designed around the moments that matter – from streaming content and capturing memories to getting things done – the latest Galaxy A combines meaningful upgrades with the dependable Galaxy experience.

“At Samsung, we believe meaningful innovation should be accessible to more people, empowering them to get more from technology in their every day,” said Ronnie Ng, Vice President and Head of Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics Singapore. “The Galaxy A08 brings together reliable performance, long-lasting battery life, trusted security and essential mobile AI experiences at an accessible price point. It reflects our commitment to delivering meaningful technology that makes everyday experiences simpler, smarter and more enjoyable.”

Galaxy A08: Reliable Performance That Lasts

The Galaxy A08 is designed around the essentials, combining reliable everyday performance with a large 6,000mAh battery that helps users stay entertained and connected for longer.

Powered by the Helio G99+ processor and upgraded LPDDR5 memory, the Galaxy A08 supports smooth, everyday use while helping to manage power consumption. Support for RAM Plus provides additional flexibility for different usage needs.

The large 6,000mAh battery gives the Galaxy A08 the power to go further throughout the day, whether users are streaming videos, browsing social media, or staying connected with friends and family. With a dependable foundation, users can spend more time enjoying their favourite content and less time worrying about running out of battery.

For capturing everyday moments, the Galaxy A08 features a 50MP autofocus main camera, 2MP depth camera and 8MP front camera, providing the essentials for taking and sharing photos with ease.

Core AI Experiences for Easier Tasks

The Galaxy A08 introduces more intuitive ways to search, discover and get things done. With enhanced Circle to Search, users can circle or tap content on their screen to search for information without typing or switching between apps. A new Find the Look feature allows users to search for an entire outfit, while users can also identify music playing nearby.

The device also features multiple AI agents that help users move more seamlessly between supported Galaxy native apps, Google apps and selected third-party applications. Through voice commands or a long press, users can ask Gemini or Perplexity to activate supported apps, helping them complete tasks more intuitively across different services.

Built For Long-Term Reliability

The Galaxy A08 is built to deliver dependable experiences over time, with IP64-rated protection against dust and water splashes for enhanced durability.

The Galaxy A08 is supported by up to six generations of OS upgrades and six years of security updates, helping users enjoy a more secure and dependable mobile experience for longer.

Samsung Electronics today unveiled the Galaxy Tab S12 Series — Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Tab S12+ — delivering Samsung’s most capable and versatile tablet experience yet. Packing breakthrough performance, long-lasting battery life, and the latest Galaxy AI^[1] into Galaxy Tab’s signature ultra-thin design, the new lineup turns complex workflows into effortless, everyday achievements whether it’s mastering skills, pursuing career goals or exploring creative passions

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series features immersive displays with the included ergonomic S Pen, professional-grade apps and versatile accessories, creating a flexible workspace for effortless note-taking and precise editing. Combining portability with powerful performance, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series enables users to pursue their passions instantly, whenever inspiration strikes.

“The Galaxy Tab S12 Series is designed for people who are constantly exploring new ideas, developing new skills and bringing their ambitions to life,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Built with industry-leading hardware, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series pairs an expansive screen with the power of Galaxy AI — removing friction from complex tasks so users can stay focused on achieving impactful results.”

“From professionals managing busy schedules at work and at home, to individuals building new skills and pursuing creative passions, Singaporeans are looking for technology that helps them make the most of every moment,” said Ronnie Ng, Vice President and Head of Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics Singapore. “The Galaxy Tab S12 Series is designed to support these evolving needs, combining powerful performance, intelligent AI experiences and exceptional portability to help users achieve more throughout their day.”

Peak Performance in an Ultra-Thin Design

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series combines powerful performance and long-lasting battery life into a thin and light design, making it easy for users to achieve more, wherever ambition takes them.

At a remarkably slim 5.1mm, Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is Samsung’s thinnest and yet most powerful Galaxy Tab to date. With long-lasting battery life, it supports productive work and creation throughout the day.

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series comes with an expansive screen designed for viewing, creating and multitasking on a larger canvas.

• The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra features a large 14.6-inch display, making it easy to explore multiple perspectives and complex tasks efficiently.
• The Galaxy Tab S12+ features a larger 12.6-inch display and slimmer bezels than its predecessor, offering more screen space while maintaining portability.

Both models feature Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays reaching up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness^[2] — delivering brighter visuals and greater detail across a wide range of content, indoors or out. The upgraded seamless Vision Booster now adjusts brightness in real time based on lighting conditions for comfortable viewing.

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series is built to keep pace throughout the day. Offering up to 23 hours on Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra^[3] and up to 21 hours on Galaxy Tab S12+^[4], on a single charge. With Super Fast Charging^[5], the battery can be fully recharged in about 95 minutes with the 45W adapter, minimising downtime between tasks.

Under the hood, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series delivers the most powerful performance of any Galaxy Tab to date, to handle complex, intensive tasks. The cutting-edge 3nm processor delivers up to 61% faster NPU processing, 19% faster CPU performance and 17% improved GPU power compared to Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.^[6]

A newly designed 3D Vapor Chamber efficiently dissipates heat to support more reliable performance during demanding tasks, from video editing to designing graphics for hours.^[7] Engineered for resilience, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series also comes with IP68-rated water and dust resistance^[8] to give users peace of mind.

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series features 4-channel spatial audio, doubling the number of channels from the previous generation for a richer, more immersive listening experience.

Making Everyday Tasks More Intuitive and Effortless

Building on an industry-leading hardware foundation, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series turns its large screen into a flexible workspace that makes it easy to learn, create and do more, without missing a beat. Running Android 17 with One UI 9 and the latest Galaxy AI, it brings research, note-taking, creation and AI assistance together in one place, for a more effortless every day.

With Multi Window, users can split the screen into up to three sections, making it easy to move between tasks. For example, users can watch a lecture, take notes in Samsung Notes, and access an AI assistant concurrently. With the included S Pen, key points and ideas can be captured directly into notes, while Note Assist^[9] swiftly summarises^[10] – all without pausing.

For deeper research and discovery, Samsung Browser uses Galaxy AI to understand webpage content and context across multiple tabs, helping users to condense key information, and revisit past relevant sources without having to search through their browsing history manually.

A Complete Ecosystem Designed to Take Skills and Creativity Further

The Galaxy Tab S12 Series gives users access to a range of professional-grade apps^[11] and creative tools^[12], helping them to take their skills further.

• Google AI Pro^[13] with six-month free trial, providing expanded access to Google’s most capable AI models for research, content creation and learning. With Gemini Notebook, users can bring notes, images, recordings, and files together in one workspace and create summaries, podcasts, and even quizzes to aid learning.
• Adobe Photoshop^[14] comes pre-loaded on the Galaxy Tab S12 Series — a first for Android tablets — bringing pro-grade image editing and design to the tablet. The interface is optimised for tablets, and S Pen support makes it more intuitive for users to move ideas from hand to screen. Photoshop includes AI-powered features such as AI Assistant^[15] and generative AI features powered by Adobe Firefly like Generative Fill and Image to Video, allowing creatives to edit faster and effortlessly. Exclusively for the Galaxy Tab S12 Series, users receive four months of free access to the Photoshop premium mobile plan.
• Notability^[16], newly pre-loaded on Galaxy Tab, helps users capture their ideas, organise notes and build knowledge more efficiently with S Pen optimisation and AI-driven study tools. Users get a six-month free trial, plus 20% off the first subscription.

In addition to these apps, users can explore a broader range of options that support different needs –

• MyScript Math instantly solves handwritten equations and shows the steps to derive solutions, while MyScript Notes summarises handwritten notes into study materials with built-in AI tools to explain concepts or generate quizzes.
• Noteshelf 3^[21] offers customisable layouts for capturing and organising ideas, while
• ArcSite^[22] converts rough field sketches into precise CAD drawings.

To complement the tablet experience, the Pro Keyboard features a premium aluminum finish and a Galaxy AI Key that enables instant access to AI assistants, while the Book Cover Keyboard Slim delivers flexibility with comfortable viewing angles and effortless typing experience.^[23]

Built for lasting and confident use, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series supports up to seven OS upgrades and security updates.^[24]

For added peace of mind, Samsung Care+^[25] offers comprehensive coverage tailored to users’ device needs, including fast repairs for accidental damage, extended warranty, and certified expert support available both at home and abroad.  Additionally, Galaxy mobile phone users running One UI 9 can easily check the Samsung Care+ status of their Galaxy Tab and enroll through the Warranty and care menu in the Settings menu.

No matter who you are or what you do, we all have one constant companion we rely on every single day: our heart. Unseen but always at work, it beats around 100,000 times a day, keeping pace with us through every moment. Yet for something so essential to our lives, taking care of our hearts is often overlooked until it’s too late.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death worldwide,^[1] which is why the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Heart Federation recognise Sept. 29 as World Heart Day. It is a reminder that the choices we make today can make a meaningful difference tomorrow.

These choices don’t have to be big. From choosing when to go to bed to making time for even just 30 minutes of exercise, the small choices we make every day add up to a healthier lifestyle. The good news is that Samsung Galaxy Watch can help you make proactive prevention part of daily life. By monitoring your sleep, activity level, stress and blood pressure, Galaxy Watch helps you better understand what’s happening in your body and what steps to take to ensure your heart is doing its job well.

Understanding Your Body at a Glance: Heart Health Score

The American Heart Association recommends looking at Life’s Essential 8^[2] as key measures for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health: diet, exercise, sleep, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and smoking cessation. But knowing what matters raises an important question: how do these factors change the choices we make every day?

Samsung Health’s Heart Health Score is designed to help you in this journey. It tracks and analyses complex health indicators such as sleep duration, daily activity level, body composition and vascular load,^[3] converting them into a single, simple score that anyone can intuitively understand and follow.

Think about what happens if you miss your daily exercise for a few days: your Galaxy Watch recognises your moderate-to-high intensity activity level has decreased, reflects this change in a lower Heart Health Score, and makes a recommendation to go for a run. With convenient insights right from your wrist, Galaxy Watch delivers personalised insights that make it easier to recognise changes, understand your habits, and take the next step toward healthier ones.

Galaxy Watch and Samsung Health provide effortless understanding of cardiovascular wellness through the Heart Health Score

Advanced Sensor Technology: From Measurement to Meaning

Samsung Galaxy Watches are equipped with an advanced BioActive Sensor which integrates three precision sensors in one: an optical heart rate sensor (PPG), an electrocardiogram sensor (ECG),^[4] and a bioelectrical impedance analysis sensor (BIA).

With calibration just once every four weeks using a home blood pressure monitor, you can easily check your blood pressure^[5] from your wrist anytime, anywhere. When you place your finger on the watch’s side electrode for just 30 seconds, the watch measures an electrocardiogram to detect signs of abnormal heartbeats like atrial fibrillation or ectopic beats. The Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN)^[6] feature, which detects abnormal heart signals, monitors the user’s heart rhythm throughout the day and provides a proactive notification if abnormal signs are repeated.

Even small reminders like this have the power to save lives. In several countries, these notifications have led to early detection of risks such as atherosclerosis or myocardial infarction.

Galaxy Watch supports heart rhythm monitoring through irregular heart rhythm notifications and ECG readings

Around-the-Clock Care: How Galaxy Watch Proactively Monitors Your Health Even During Sleep

Your heart is a constant you can count on, and it works whether you’re awake or asleep. When you wear your Galaxy Watch to sleep, it analyses five major vital signs: heart rate during sleep, heart rate variability^[7], respiratory rate, skin temperature and blood oxygen saturation. These signals are compared against your personal baseline.

When you wake up, your Galaxy Watch will send a notification if it detects meaningful deviations from your baseline. By highlighting meaningful changes early, it gives you an opportunity to rest, recover or seek medical guidance before small issues become larger concerns^[8].

Galaxy Watch and Samsung Health give users a clear view of their sleep quality with detailed metrics and insights they can use to improve their sleep habits.

Heart to Heart: Connected Care That Adds Peace of Mind

Looking after your own heart is only one side of the story. From parents to partners, siblings to grandparents or even friends, the burden of caring for the hearts of those around you weighs heavily. Samsung Health’s Health Data Sharing^[9] function lightens the load by sharing agreed-upon data items (number of steps, blood pressure, heart rate, medication adherence, etc.) with loved ones.

You can check if your parents who live far away have completed their daily walk or taken their prescribed medication on time, just as if you were right there with them.

Samsung Health lets users share selected health data with loved ones, helping them stay connected and informed about one another’s wellbeing.

World Heart Day coincides with the seasonal transition when chilly winds begin to blow in the mornings and evenings. As the temperature gap between day and night widens, blood vessels constrict, sharply increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The key to preventing heart disease lies not in reactive treatment, but in proactive habits of paying close attention to the subtle signals your body sends every day. Start managing your heart health with Galaxy Watch, a reliable health partner that stays with you around the clock.

Samsung Electronics Singapore today announced that it has entered a collaboration with Fraser Residence River Promenade in Singapore to pilot AI-enabled hospitality experiences.

Guests can experience Samsung-powered smart rooms – from room and lighting settings to supporting everyday chores – thanks to the latest Samsung devices powered by SmartThings. These rooms will be available for booking from 1 October 2026 via Frasers Residence River Promenade website.

From smart homes to smart, intuitive hospitality experiences

As technology becomes increasingly integrated into everyday routines, consumers are moving beyond standalone smart devices towards connected experiences where products work seamlessly together.

Such experiences are also what draws travelers into making a booking with a property. In a recent study by Amadeus, 74% polled were said to be keen to have their trips personalised. They are also more willing to spend on room elements or add-on services that appeal to their travel needs. Through this pilot, Samsung aims to showcase a connected living adapted for hospitality environments.

In addition, Singapore’s strong digital connectivity and consumers’ readiness to embrace new technologies offers an opportunity to pilot connected hospitality experiences and explore how these innovations can enhance everyday guest stays

“At Samsung, our vision is to bring AI to all, where our technology and solutions work seamlessly together to help simplify everyday experiences. Through this pilot with Frasers Hospitality, we want to be able to showcase our vision of AI Living in a thoughtful and meaningful way, where guests can experience how connected experiences powered by SmartThings can transform their stays,” said Jeffrey Hahn, President, Samsung Electronics Singapore.

Samsung smart rooms deliver smart, personalised experiences

 The pilot comprises three smart rooms across One-Bedroom Deluxe and Studio Deluxe units. Designed around Samsung’s connected ecosystem, the rooms bring together Samsung TV and audio products, home appliances and Galaxy devices through SmartThings, alongside compatible connected technologies.

Guests will experience a range of Samsung products, including The Frame Pro and Mini LED TVs, Galaxy Tab S11, Music Studio 5 speakers and Bespoke AI laundry appliances. Together, these products and connected devices are designed to work as one ecosystem, supporting different moments throughout a guest’s stay.

At the heart of the experience is a series of connected routines designed around key guest moments. From welcoming guests upon arrival and helping them ease into the day, to creating the right ambience for entertainment or winding down at night, SmartThings enables connected devices across the room to work together seamlessly in the background.

Rather than functioning as standalone products, the smart ecosystem responds to different guest needs throughout their stay, demonstrating how connected living can potentially enhance convenience and comfort in a hospitality setting.

Book your smart stay today

For consumers interested in experiencing the pilot smart rooms at Fraser Residence River Promenade, they can book their stays via https://www.frasershospitality.com/en/singapore/fraser-residence-river-promenade-singapore/samsung-smart-rooms from 1 October 2026.

Following its debut on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8, and Flip8, One UI 9 brings an easier, more seamless mobile experience across form factors, as well as enhanced Galaxy AI that is richer, more personal, and more helpful.

New Features Help Users Capture, Personalise, and Manage

One UI 9 introduces new ways to keep people in focus, tailor the information users see each day, and manage device care more easily.

• My FanCam^[2] automatically tracks a selected person in a recorded video and keeps them centred, intelligently reframing the footage as the scene moves. This allows users to turn dynamic moments into social-ready content with less manual editing. Whether it’s a child’s performance, a friend on the dance floor, or an exciting moment during a sporting event, users can instantly put the focus on the person they want to see.

• The new Generative and Editable Cards on Now Brief^[3] help users choose what appears in their daily summaries. Users can create cards across health, weather, and video so their daily brief reflects the information most relevant to them.
• Warranty and Care^[4] brings device support and protection directly into the Settings menu. Users can now check warranty coverage across connected mobile devices, run self-diagnostics, view repair estimates, and manage Samsung Care+ or book a service appointment with just a few taps.

Enhanced Capabilities Help Users Do More With Less Effort

One UI 9 builds on familiar Galaxy experiences to help users complete everyday tasks in fewer steps, with context-aware suggestions, timely creative prompts, and improvements to translation, scanning, and recording.

• Now Nudge^[5] can surface timely, context-aware suggestions across more moments in the Galaxy experience, helping users take the next step without breaking their flow. For example, when making plans over text, users can pull up reservation details or save a shared location without leaving the conversation.
• Creative Studio now suggests image-generation ideas based on relevant upcoming events. For example, when a friend’s birthday is approaching, users may see a prompt to create a themed image or greeting, allowing them to quickly create something meaningful for the occasion.
• Interpreter^[6] introduces a new Thread View that enables users to better follow translated conversations by quickly referencing earlier exchanges. In addition, faster translation in Conversation Mode and quicker playback with compatible Galaxy Buds help reduce delays, making conversations feel more natural and continuous.
• Document Scan now allows users to digitise challenging materials such as curved book pages and corner-folded papers with less manual adjustment. The large-screen-optimised views on compatible Galaxy devices, along with an improved Finger Eraser, help create cleaner and more usable scans.
• Voice Recorder presents summaries in a clearer, more structured format, using elements such as headings and tables to make key information easier to scan at a glance.

Enhanced Security and Privacy Help Users Stay Informed and in Control

One UI 9 continues Samsung’s approach to security and privacy with transparency, choice, and control built into the experience. The latest updates help users better understand when something may need their attention and make it easier to take action.

• Security Brief brings key security and privacy updates like alerts for malware, apps from unknown sources, and unnecessary permissions to Now Brief, helping users identify potential issues earlier and determine when action is necessary.
• Privacy Alerts^[7] use on-device AI to identify potential privacy risks, including unnecessary attempts to access permissions in the background, giving users greater awareness of how their information is being accessed.
• Scam Detection^[8] expands to additional countries^[9] and languages, bringing protection against potential scam calls to more Galaxy users across supported markets.

_{^[1] As of the publication of this press release, the official One UI 9 has been rolled out to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8. The update is expected to gradually roll out to other Galaxy devices.}

• Since the introduction of Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has evolved the foldable experience across form factor, displays, durability, multitasking, cameras and Galaxy AI.
• Over the years, Galaxy Z Fold has supported large-screen productivity and immersive viewing, while Galaxy Z Flip has introduced new ways to create, express and interact through a compact foldable form factor.
• Today, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 offer three distinct foldable experiences designed to meet different lifestyle needs.

Do you remember the first time you ever saw a foldable mobile phone?

Modern foldables of today have evolved far beyond just a screen that folds. Samsung’s line-up now combines intelligent features with large displays for productivity, entertainment, and communication.

Since the introduction of the first Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has been leveraging a deep understanding of consumer needs and strengthening expertise in this category. Valuable insights and experiences gained from seven generations of foldable innovation has resulted in the most complete line-up yet – the all-new Galaxy Z8 series.

This exciting line-up is resonating with consumers globally, including those in Southeast Asia and Oceania. In this region, sales of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra have grown 40% compared to the Galaxy Z Fold7. The new series is also compelling more people in the region to embrace Samsung foldables, with switchers to the Galaxy Z Fold8 series from other brands increasing by more than 60% compared to those who made a switch to the previous Z Fold generation.

From the latest innovations unveiled in 2026, let’s trace Samsung’s evolution of foldable technology through the years – from its newest breakthroughs, all the way back to the debut of its very first foldable phone. Here’s how the journey unfolded.

2026: Three distinct foldables built for immersion, productivity and self-expression

The latest foldable line-up presents a broad portfolio designed to meet distinct user needs. The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8 bring together advancements across form factor, display engineering, camera features, and Galaxy AI, empowering users with more choice than ever to pick a foldable that best suits their needs.

2024 to 2025: Bigger possibilities for everyone with mobile AI

In 2024, the Galaxy Z series was first equipped with Galaxy AI, offering users AI-powered experiences tailored to each form factor.

2021-2023: Bringing foldables into everyone’s everyday life

As the category developed, Samsung continued to refine foldables to improve durability and increase versatility, enabling the form factor to better fit into everyday life.

2019-2020: Can you fold a mobile phone?

Long before foldables became familiar in everyday mobile experiences, Samsung took the bold step of reimagining what the category could look like. And after launching a foldable for the first time in 2019, Samsung continued to show that foldables were not just phones with flexible screens, but devices that could support entirely new ways to enjoy mobile experiences. With relentless innovation over the years, Samsung has driven the technology from concept to mainstream adoption.

More still to come for the Galaxy Z series

What began as a bold idea in 2019 has evolved into a comprehensive Galaxy Z portfolio shaped by relentless innovation and improvements. The journey is far from over. Across the Galaxy Z series, Samsung will continue to make the foldable experience even more intuitive, capable, and seamless for everyone.

Samsung Electronics Singapore welcomed more than 610 participants today to its first-ever Galaxy Walkathon held at The Kallang, bringing the community together for a morning dedicated to championing active living and wellbeing through the help of technology.

Held in support of the Singapore Heart Foundation’s (SHF) heart health movement and in celebration of SG61, the Galaxy Walkathon saw participants completing a 5km scenic walk around The Kallang precinct. Samsung will also be making a donation to support SHF’s ongoing heart health programmes and initiatives in support of healthier lifestyles. Registrations for the event exceeded initial participant targets, underscoring strong public interest in health and wellness activities.

The Galaxy Walkathon is the first activation under Samsung and The Kallang Group’s multi-year partnership, and is part of the  National Stadium Experience, bringing families and the community together through fun activities and memorable shared experiences. To mark this momentous community effort and champion heart health awareness, The Kallang Group will also light up the National Stadium in red on the evening of 13 September.

“We are encouraged to see so many Singaporeans come together for our first Galaxy Walkathon. Every step taken today is a positive step towards better health and wellbeing. As more people look for ways to live more active lives, we believe technology can help make healthy habits easier to build,” said Jeffrey Hahn, President, Samsung Electronics Singapore. “We are also thankful to our partners for supporting this event and helping us encourage more people to take small, meaningful steps towards better health.”

“Exercising is an important way to work towards a healthier heart. We are pleased to partner with Samsung Singapore for the Galaxy Walkathon to encourage more Singaporeans to get active and shape the future of our nation’s heart health together with us,” said Mr Lim Kiat, Assistant Director, Strategic Partnerships & Philanthropy, Singapore Heart Foundation.

Beyond the walk itself, participants also had the opportunity to explore a range of wellness-focused experiences at the Walkers’ Village, designed to inspire healthier habits into their daily routines. These included hands-on experiences with the latest Galaxy products powered by Samsung Health. The morning also featured a guided community cool-down session, alongside partner booths and activities as part of the National Stadium Experience. From sports tryouts to the AL!VE Artisan Market, participants were encouraged to stay active, connect with the community and discover new ways to support their wellbeing.

The Galaxy Walkathon marks the first of many upcoming initiatives as part of Samsung Singapore’s broader efforts in promoting wellness and healthier communities through technology, partnerships and community engagement, and Singaporeans can look forward to the latest initiatives and announcements on Samsung Singapore Newsroom.
