Galaxy users can instantly connect Buds4 Pro or Buds4 to the ecosystem of devices they already enjoy by simply opening the Buds cradle.^[2] When paired with the Galaxy S26 Series, they deliver crisp and clear conversations.

From juggling work calls to catching up with loved ones, you’ll hear the difference loud and clear with HD voice.^[3]

How does HD voice work?

The clarity begins with advanced AI-powered noise reduction. The Galaxy Buds4 Series uses multiple microphones that collect sounds from different directions, along with a Voice Pick Up Unit (VPU) which helps detect and prioritise users’ voices. Advanced networks then analyse the sound in real time to separate speech from background noise such as traffic, wind, or other nearby conversations.

Traditional Bluetooth calls capture voice frequencies with a limited bandwidth, causing speech to sound compressed and less natural. HD voice preserves more natural detail during communications by doubling the Bluetooth bandwidth to 16kHz, called super wide band. HD voice also uses machine learning models trained for noise reduction and voice enhancement to enable a wider range of the human voice to be transmitted.

Wider Audio Range Brings Out Every Word

This expanded range helps capture subtle sounds like “s”, “z”, “th”, and “f”, which help distinguish words that are hard to understand in standard Bluetooth calls. By preserving these details, conversations are clearer and more natural.

By combining intelligent noise reduction and expanded Bluetooth bandwidth, HD voice creates a call experience that feels closer to speaking in person.

Galaxy Buds are the only Bluetooth earbuds that can support HD voice on Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

How to activate HD Voice:  Open your Galaxy Buds, then on your Galaxybuds Smartphone, go to Settings → Your Galaxy Buds Settings → Sound quality and effects → Advanced quality options → Super wide band speech

The Galaxy Ecosystem Difference

While many earbuds offer clear calls, Galaxy Buds paired with Galaxy devices are engineered  to optimise HD voice performance. From the moment you make or answer a call, your Galaxy Buds4 Series will preserve voice details while reducing background noise to help ensure every word comes through naturally.

That’s the advantage of Galaxy ecosystem integration and end-to-end optimisation.

What is Privacy Display?

Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra is an innovative form of personal protection built into the device that allows you to adjust the visibility of content on your screen. When enabled, visuals are clear for the user while limiting what others can see when looking at the screen from the side — perfect when you’re travelling or in other public places.

Unlike aftermarket stick-on privacy screen covers, the Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra offers protection without compromising the viewing experience during everyday use.

How does Privacy Display work?

Integrated directly into the display hardware, Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra controls how the screen’s pixels disperse light, limiting the visibility from side angles when turned on, while preserving the full display experience from any direction when it’s off. This hardware-first approach delivers a clearer and more consistent experience than a traditional privacy screen protector which permanently reduces brightness and clarity and can degrade touch responsiveness.

It’s also customisable. You can decide when it turns on, like when entering sensitive password information, or even limit visibility for specific types of content like popup notifications — it all comes down to user choice.

How to Use Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra

For step-by-step instructions to turn on Privacy Display, watch here:

_{^[1] Must be enabled in settings. Privacy Display feature controls the screen’s viewing range to limit peripheral vision. Some changes in image quality may occur outside the viewing range. When activated, some information may still be visible to others depending on the viewing environment, such as angle or brightness. Caution is advised when exposing sensitive information.}

Samsung developed its Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. as an open standard for professional video creation so the technology could be available to as many users as possible. It took years of close collaboration between the two companies to make APV a reality on the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy^[1] chipset that powers Galaxy S26 Ultra. APV is the latest example of Samsung’s commitment to put the user experience first by collaborating with other industry leaders.

What is Samsung’s Advanced Professional Video (APV) Codec on Galaxy S26 Ultra?

Galaxy S26 Ultra is the first Galaxy device to support APV, enabling higher-quality video files that use your device storage more efficiently. For anyone who wants pro-level quality without sacrificing the convenience and portability of shooting video on mobile, APV on Galaxy S26 Ultra is a game changer.

Codecs compress and decompress video files for storage and sharing. With an HEVC codec, the system often removes very small visual details to reduce file size. As a result, fine elements like water droplets, splashes, or subtle textures in the image become blurred after rounds of encoding.

APV preserves more of the original information, which helps maintain delicate details such as water droplets, textures, and motion — noted by the clarity of the splash in the image despite multiple rounds of encoding. APV codecs achieve visually lossless quality even when subjected to repeated editing.

How does APV Work?

While other smartphone codecs prioritize small file sizes, they are not built for high-quality editing. APV makes for easier editing and more creative flexibility. Now you can capture video content on your Galaxy device that behaves like cinematic professional camera footage when it’s time to edit — maintaining video quality even after repeated edits. Supporting up to 8K resolution at 30 frames per second, APV uses 10% less storage than other comparable formats while maintaining the same objective visual quality.

How to Enable APV on Galaxy S26 Ultra

1. Navigate to Camera > Settings > Video Format > APV
2. Choose preferred APV control APV HDR or APV Log
3. Select the type of file compression APV 422 HQ (high-quality video) or APOV 422 LQ (optimized for storage capacity and limited data rates)
4. Toggle selected shooting mode on or off in Camera preview
5. Users also have the option to record APV directly to external USB storage, navigate to Camera > Settings > Save to External Storage

Reimagined as a personalised audio assistant, the Galaxy Buds4 series marks a significant evolution in wearable audio — combining intelligent sound with all-day comfort.

Samsung Newsroom got an early hands-on look at the Galaxy Buds4 series during Galaxy Unpacked 2026.

The Galaxy Buds4 series unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked 2026. (From left) Galaxy Buds4 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro

Design: Data-Driven Comfort for the Perfect Fit

The Galaxy Buds4 series embodies precision engineering. Developed using more than 100 million global ear-shape data points and 10,000 fit simulations^[1], the earbuds feature a refined ergonomic design that delivers lasting comfort, even during extended wear.

The pinch control area — recessed where the fingers naturally rest — enhances tactility and enables intuitive control.

A semi-transparent charging case lets users easily check the earbuds and charging status. Beyond aesthetics, the device reflects thoughtful attention to everyday practicality.

Colour: Modern Classics With a Signature Finish

The Galaxy Buds4 series stands out visually. Classic White and Black colours for both Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro feature a smooth, modern finish, while the online-exclusive Pink Gold for Galaxy Buds4 Pro adds a refined touch. With its subtle sheen and rosy hue, Pink Gold brings warmth and sophistication — doubling as a stylish accessory.

(From left) Galaxy Buds4 in Black, Galaxy Buds4 Pro in White and Galaxy Buds4 Pro in the online-exclusive Pink Gold 

Sound: Immersive Audio That Fills the Senses

Galaxy Buds4 Pro reveals its true capability in a listening session. For the first time, Samsung has introduced a bezel-less woofer that expands the speaker’s vibrating surface area by about 20% compared with the previous model. The result is deeper, more resonant bass paired with clear, refined highs from the tweeter — all in ultra-high-resolution 24-bit/96kHz audio true to the original recording.

Noise cancelling is also more advanced. Enhanced Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) creates an optimised algorithm tailored to each user’s fit and ear shape. Even in a loud exhibition hall, ANC delivers an immersive experience — as if stepping into a quiet, personal listening space. An expanded equaliser adjustment range further ensures consistent sound quality without tonal shifts, regardless of how the earbuds are worn.

Call quality has improved as well. Powered by machine learning, Super Clear Call delivers crisp audio in noisy environments. With 16kHz bandwidth support, voice comes through clearly, free from surrounding noises.

(From left) Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Galaxy Buds4 series

The Galaxy Ecosystem: Seamless, Hands-Free Control

The Galaxy Buds4 series reaches its full potential when paired with a Galaxy smartphone. Opening the charging case instantly triggers a connection pop-up for seamless pairing. Users can adjust noise cancelling levels or change settings directly from the Quick Panel — even without the Galaxy Wearable app.

▲ A connection pop-up appears on a Galaxy smartphone when the charging case is opened.

Another highlight is the newly introduced Head Gestures feature. A simple nod allows users to answer calls hands-free — ideal when exercising or carrying items.

Voice commands also launch AI agents such as Gemini and Perplexity, minimising the need to take the smartphone out of a pocket.

▲ Demonstration of Head Gestures

Moving beyond hardware innovation, the Galaxy Buds4 series delivers a personalised audio experience tailored to individual lifestyles.

_{^[1] Based on global ear data research conducted by Samsung Design Innovation Centre.}

Mobile cameras are moving beyond capture alone and the latest Galaxy AI experiences bring advanced creative capabilities together in one intuitive place, unifying capture, editing, and sharing into a seamless experience. The result is a more fluid creative process – eliminating the need to switch between apps or navigate complex tools, so creativity feels faster, simpler, and more natural.

At the core of this evolution is the belief that creativity should not be limited by technical skill or experience. From shooting to editing, the phone camera has quietly redefined what’s possible. Now anyone can create cinematic movies, track stars across the night sky, or capture richly detailed photos – even in low light. And with natural, multimodal input, editing becomes as easy as using a few words to express what you have in mind.

Stay tuned for the easiest and most user-friendly Galaxy camera experience yet, unveiling next week.

The event will be streamed live from 26 February 2026, 2:00AM SGT, on Samsung.com/sg/,  Samsung Singapore Newsroom, and Samsung’s YouTube channel.

Climate change already has a profound effect on our lifestyle. To mitigate this impact, Singapore has an ambitious 2030 Green Plan, which includes a push to reduce energy usage, a shift towards renewable energy, and to encourage a higher rate of recycling.

However, while 7 in 10 consumers feel that sustainability is important, only a third of them are taking active steps to contribute to the cause. And with fluctuating electricity and gas tariffs, consumers may need to be more proactive in better managing their energy usage.

Thankfully, the rise of smart home technology can pave the way for smarter energy use. Not only does it help simplify routines (think automating your laundry cycles or automatically adjusting the air-conditioning in response to ambient temperatures)^[1], but it can also help monitor energy usage and make smart recommendations that best fit your lifestyle.

Samsung SmartThings: Enabling smarter, eco-friendly living

Samsung SmartThings is an AI-powered platform that enables users to connect, control and automate some 5,000 different smart devices from hundreds of manufacturers. Accessible via Galaxy devices (including the Galaxy S25 Series and Galaxy Tab S11 Series), it allows homeowners to control their appliances from a single app, as well as monitor their energy consumption in real time.

For example, AI Energy Mode helps to keep track of and control energy use. When the feature is enabled, users can choose their preferred energy saving level that can reduce energy consumption across various supported devices, including TVs. This mode can result in energy savings of up to 15% for supported refrigerators, and up to 70% for supported washers and dryers. Additionally, Away mode can be preset so that SmartThings-connected devices can be switched off when it detects no movement at home, further contributing to reduction in energy wastage.

How smart can Samsung products get for a conscious household?

When paired with SmartThings on your preferred Galaxy devices (a Galaxy S25 Ultra for starters), the Samsung Bespoke Convection Microwave Oven offers homeowners personalised recipes^[2], and can even offer cooking guidance. And if your hands are full, you can tell the microwave what to do with natural language voice commands^[3].

Or if you are calorie counting, your Galaxy smartphone and tablet can act as your personal nutritionist. Need a low-calorie recipe based on existing ingredients you have in your refrigerator? Simply point your Galaxy device’s camera to the ingredients laid out, long press the side button, and ask Gemini Live for real-time recipe recommendations.

Bringing conscious living to life at GREEN-HOUSE

The move towards a more conscious consumption requires greater education, and availability of tools and resources.

To that end, Samsung is teaming up with GREEN-HOUSE, to champion greener living efforts in Singapore. Held at the Temasek Shophouse on 8 and 9 November 2025, the Festival will act as a community event for conscious brands and Singaporeans to learn more about how they can do their part toward greener living.

Since 2022, GREEN-HOUSE has been committed to shaping thought around sustainable urban living through an immersive, weekend-long event. This year, the event aims to champion coral planting, a pressing issue as coral reef destruction has been accelerated by climate change and ocean pollution from land-based sources. (Fun fact: The Galaxy S22 S Pen was partly made of discarded fishing nets. The use of old fishing nets and other plastic debris have expanded since 2022.)

All that got your appetite going? Join us at the GREEN-HOUSE Eat Well, Live Smart Workshop.

The Eat Well, Live Smart workshop is not only a showcase of our technology and innovation, but a demonstration of smarter, more conscious living. Hosted by Loaded Gun Kitchen, a plant-based cookhouse, the workshop will showcase how quickly and easily nutritious meals can be – all made possible by the Samsung Bespoke Convection Microwave Oven.

In just 45 minutes, participants will learn such delights as air-fried eggplant, and whip up a charred corn and avocado salsa tossed with Loaded Gun Kitchen’s Green Goddess dressing, finishing with an umami peanut sauce layered with corn-cob stock. A three-course meal that’s low on waste and effort, but big on flavour and nutrition.

Of course, you’ll also learn how to capture equally good-looking food shots with the help of Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy AI. And once you do, you can display them like the works of art they are on The Frame Pro TV, which will also be making an appearance at GREEN-HOUSE.

Samsung Electronics has unveiled Galaxy XR, a new category of AI-native devices designed to deliver immersive experiences in a form factor optimised for multimodal AI. As the first product built on the new Android XR platform developed together by Samsung, Google and Qualcomm Technologies, Galaxy XR showcases the future of discovery, play and work, enabling users to enjoy natural, deeply immersive experiences — from daily tasks to bold new frontiers. It’s the first step in Samsung’s long-term XR journey, with innovations to come across the full spectrum of XR form factors, including AI glasses.

“With Galaxy XR, Samsung is introducing a brand-new ecosystem of mobile devices,” said Won-Joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer of Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Built on Android XR, Galaxy XR expands the vision for mobile AI into a new frontier of immersive and meaningful possibilities, allowing XR to move from concept to everyday reality, for both the industry and users.”

“Android XR is the first Android platform built entirely for the Gemini^[1] era, and we are incredibly excited to take a significant leap forward today with the launch of Galaxy XR”, said Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem at Google. “Through our partnership with Samsung, Android XR will unlock entirely new ways to explore, connect and create, building an open, unified platform for the next evolution of computing.”

“Galaxy XR embodies our vision for the future, where the synergy of AI and XR transforms the possibilities of personal computing,” said Alex Katouzian, Group GM of Mobile, Compute & XR at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We’re thrilled to be collaborating on this initiative, as Galaxy XR will help to bring new use cases across various industries and pave the way for exciting multi-device experiences, all enabled by our work with Samsung and Google.

Designed to Unlock the Full Power of Multimodal AI

Galaxy XR is unlocking new possibilities with multimodal AI, transforming how people connect with the world through technology in their daily lives.

To bring Samsung, Google and Qualcomm’s vision for AI to life, Galaxy XR is the first product built on the new Android XR platform, which has Gemini embedded right from the start. With Gemini integrated at the system level, Galaxy XR doesn’t feel like a tool following users’ commands but a new type of AI companion that helps them manage their tasks, delivering natural and intuitive interactions through voice, vision and gesture. In the form of a headset, it understands users’ surroundings by seeing what they see and hearing what they hear. This allows Galaxy XR to respond in conversational ways that feel natural and human, giving users entirely new ways of interacting with technology.

Open Collaboration Brings a Scalable Android XR Ecosystem

As part of a long-term vision for XR, Samsung has built a new XR ecosystem in partnership with Google and Qualcomm, opening new possibilities for the industry.

Co-developed with Google and Qualcomm, Android XR is a powerful platform that puts AI at the centre of the experience. It is designed to scale across a variety of form factors, from headsets to AI glasses and beyond, and Galaxy XR benefits from the strength of its open, scalable ecosystem. All apps built on the Android platform work out of the box^[2] on Galaxy XR, ensuring users can enjoy familiar mobile experiences they already love and making the device as useful day-to-day as it is groundbreaking. Since the platform is built on OpenXR standards, it’s easy for developers using OpenXR, WebXR or Unity to bring their experiences to Galaxy XR — offering them more ways to scale and giving consumers more choices.

Discover, Work and Play Without Boundaries

Galaxy XR has been carefully engineered with a human-centric design to deliver long-term comfort. Through a combination of its shape, advanced materials and the structural optimisation of each component, Galaxy XR achieves an optimal balance between lightweight design and robustness for daily use. The headset’s ergonomically balanced frame distributes pressure across the forehead and the back of the head, minimising facial discomfort while providing steady support. The battery pack is separate from the headset, making the device more compact, light and comfortable to wear. Galaxy XR also features a detachable light shield, offering comfort when removed and deeper immersion by blocking external light when attached. These thoughtful innovations allow Galaxy XR users to fully engage in XR experiences with ease.

Galaxy XR opens entirely new dimensions of discovery, providing a wide array of experiences optimised for XR such as Google Maps, YouTube, Circle to Search and Google Photos.

• Travel and search with Google Maps: Users can use Gemini as a guide to navigate to any place on Google Maps and ask for personalised suggestions about nearby places while exploring the world in immersive 3D maps.
• Deep-dive into content with AI: Users can naturally ask Gemini to find content they want to see in YouTube and get more information about the video they are watching, unlocking richer learning and entertainment experiences.
• See more with video pass through and Circle to Search^[3]: In pass through mode, users can see the physical world around them and draw a circle with their hand to instantly search for information about anything in front of them.

• Auto-spatialise videos and photos into 3D^[4]: Bring photos and videos to life by converting 2D images into 3D images, turning memories into immersive experiences or reimagining them in entirely new ways.

Thanks to its advanced sensors, cameras, and powerful hardware, Galaxy XR can precisely track users’ head, hand and eye movement and make these experiences truly immersive. The device’s microphones are strategically placed and supported by software to filter out external noises and capture the wearer’s voice clearly. Through Galaxy XR, users can explore both virtual and real worlds in XR-specialised apps using natural physical interaction, with assistance from Gemini.

Galaxy XR also opens new levels of immersion in entertainment^[5] — including sports and gaming — with its powerful hardware and superior performance.

• Immersive viewing experiences: Users can stream their favorite shows on a 4K Micro-OLED screen that feels like a personal theater.
• Sports experiences: Sports fans can watch multiple games at the same time, feeling as if they are right in the stadium.

Powered by Snapdragon^[6]® XR2+ Gen 2, Galaxy XR delivers next generation immersive experiences with visual clarity and advanced AI through the Qualcomm® Hexagon NPU^[7]. Plus, 2.5 hours of battery usage time^[8] enables users to enjoy their favorite content in total, uninterrupted immersion. Combined with its immersive sound and ultra-high-resolution displays, Galaxy XR places users at the centre of extended worlds optimised for XR.

Samsung is also committed to meeting a wide range of use cases for enterprise needs such as virtual training in heavy industry and construction, including a partnership with Samsung Heavy Industries to utilise Galaxy XR for virtual shipbuilding training for work productivity and safety. We also partnered with Qualcomm Technologies to utilise their efforts with Snapdragon Spaces technology to tap into an Enterprise ISV ecosystem, giving developers the tools to bring their applications to Galaxy XR and create new opportunities for the enterprise world to adopt business solutions optimised for Android XR. Together, these collaborations bring enterprise-ready XR capabilities that enable advanced training, co-design of solutions and secure remote collaboration.

As part of its broader XR roadmap, Samsung is developing multiple form factors, including AI glasses. In collaboration with Google, Samsung is working with pioneering lifestyle brand Warby Parker, known for leveraging technology to create beautifully-designed eyewear and deliver exceptional customer experiences. At the same time, Samsung is also partnering with Gentle Monster to bring stylish, fashion-forward eyewear that blends cutting-edge AI-native technology with cultural influence and design leadership. Seamlessly connected to the Android XR ecosystem, these devices will pair advanced XR capabilities with style, comfort and practicality, bringing boundary-free discovery, work and play into daily life.
