<p class="has-medium-font-size">As people capture, store and revisit memories across multiple devices like mobile phones and tablets, keeping those moments safe and easily accessible has become increasingly important. To help meet this growing need, Samsung offers a Gallery sync service in collaboration with Google.<sup data-fn="5665cb2b-3b89-4240-949a-da852c0510e5" class="fn"><a href="#5665cb2b-3b89-4240-949a-da852c0510e5" id="5665cb2b-3b89-4240-949a-da852c0510e5-link">1</a></sup></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Samsung Gallery sync with Google storage gives you access to photos and videos across supported Galaxy devices. Getting started is simple. If your Samsung and Google accounts are set up on the device, you can enable sync in Gallery without creating a separate cloud account.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">You can also move easily between devices while keeping your photos and videos within reach. For example, take photos on your Galaxy phone and view them in Gallery on your tablet. Sign in with the same Samsung and Google accounts and enable sync on each supported device.<sup data-fn="18b8dc5d-6bcb-432b-90f0-29210c371d38" class="fn"><a href="#18b8dc5d-6bcb-432b-90f0-29210c371d38" id="18b8dc5d-6bcb-432b-90f0-29210c371d38-link">2</a></sup></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">When setting up a new Galaxy device, sign in with the same Samsung and Google accounts used for Gallery sync on your previous device. Turn on sync to see previews of your photos and videos.<sup data-fn="333b4a32-42f5-4688-aa9c-1b037f01a2de" class="fn"><a href="#333b4a32-42f5-4688-aa9c-1b037f01a2de" id="333b4a32-42f5-4688-aa9c-1b037f01a2de-link">3</a></sup> If you need an original file, you can select the file you want and download it to your device easily.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">To help you make room for more memories, Samsung introduces a new feature that lets you free up space on your device<sup data-fn="c00a326b-f776-4a6e-b25e-be690a119636" class="fn"><a href="#c00a326b-f776-4a6e-b25e-be690a119636" id="c00a326b-f776-4a6e-b25e-be690a119636-link">4</a></sup>. Once photos and videos are synced to Google storage, you can use the “Free up space” feature to remove the original files from the device and free up device storage, while keeping thumbnails visible in Gallery.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/05132440/HDR10ADVANCED_Micro-RGB_MRN75R95HAFXZA-1000x667.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26505" /></figure>



<p>The home is becoming the new theatre. But as TVs get bigger and brighter, the technology behind the picture needs to keep pace.</p>



<p>Premium TVs can now reach unprecedented peak brightness levels. Much of today’s streaming content, however, is mastered at far lower brightness levels. This creates a challenge: How can TVs make the most of their capabilities while preserving the look and feel intended by filmmakers and content creators?</p>



<p><strong>HDR10+ ADVANCED</strong> is Samsung’s answer. Building on HDR10+, which uses scene-by-scene metadata to help TVs optimize brightness and contrast, the new technology adds more detailed picture information, AI-powered tone mapping and greater control over motion.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bridging the Gap Between Master and Display</strong></h2>



<p>When HDR10+ technology was first introduced in 2017, most content was mastered brighter than consumer TVs could handle. Today, premium TVs can support extreme brightness levels that easily encompass the range for which much of that content was mastered.</p>



<p>To reproduce this content on brighter displays, TVs need to map the original brightness levels to their own capabilities. Without detailed scene information, this process can involve compromises that affect brightness, contrast and detail.</p>



<p>HDR10+ ADVANCED expands the dynamic metadata available to guide these adjustments. Specifically, it uses extended distribution metadata to represent tonality more accurately, enabling AI to create brighter HDR while preserving the creator’s intended look. This gives compatible TVs more detailed guidance across midtones as well as the brightest and darkest parts of the image, helping them reproduce each scene as intended.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/05132449/HDR10ADVANCED_OLED_QA77S95HAEXXS-1000x667.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26506" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Smarter Picture Quality, Powered by AI</strong></h2>



<p>HDR10+ ADVANCED combines its expanded metadata with <strong>Samsung AI-driven tone mapping </strong>to optimize the picture for modern displays.</p>



<p>Samsung TVs use AI models pre-trained on thousands of expert-graded HDR samples. These AI models run on-device in real time, generating optimal tone-mapping curves based on scene statistics in the metadata.</p>



<p>The aim is to make effective use of a TV’s brightness while preserving contrast and detail, helping bright highlights stand out without losing the nuances of darker scenes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tailored Motion for the Living Room</strong></h2>



<p>Films are typically shot at 24 frames per second, a frame rate that contributes to their cinematic look. On large home displays, however, some movements can appear uneven, particularly during camera pans. Conventional motion smoothing can help, but too much can make films look unnaturally fluid — a look often called the “soap opera effect”.</p>



<p>HDR10+ ADVANCED introduces <strong>Intelligent Motion Smoothing</strong>, which allows creators and streaming platforms to specify the desired level of smoothing for individual scenes. Levels range from 0, with smoothing off, to 5, with maximum smoothing.</p>



<p>This allows motion to be tailored to the content, from fast-moving sports that benefit from greater fluidity to cinematic dramas that retain a more natural look.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Understanding the Content on Screen</strong></h2>



<p>A sports broadcast, an animated film and a news program each have different visual characteristics. HDR10+ ADVANCED introduces <strong>genre-based metadata</strong> to help compatible TVs better understand the content they’re displaying.</p>



<p>Its two-layer structure combines 16 broad content classes with 64 more specific descriptors. These can identify characteristics such as the type of sport, movement, lighting conditions and how the content was captured. A football match, for example, could include descriptors relating to the pitch, ball movement, camera panning and daylight.</p>



<p>This additional information can help tailor picture processing to different types of content. It also creates a foundation for potential future services, including interactive and commerce experiences.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Expanding HDR10+ GAMING Experience Through Cloud Gaming</strong></h2>



<p>HDR10+ ADVANCED extends optimized HDR to cloud gaming, helping compatible games deliver a better-tuned picture without players needing to calibrate settings manually.</p>



<p><strong>Adaptive Cloud Gaming</strong> uses real-time ambient-light data and dynamic tone mapping to optimize visibility and immersion in cloud-based games on compatible HDR10+ GAMING platforms.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A New Chapter for Home Entertainment</strong></h2>



<p>HDR10+ ADVANCED brings together expanded scene metadata, AI-powered tone mapping, intelligent motion control and cloud gaming capabilities to build on the existing HDR10+ ecosystem.</p>



<p>The goal is straightforward: HDR10+ ADVANCED compatible Samsung TVs make better use of their display capabilities while adapting more intelligently to what’s on screen. Whether watching a film, following live sport or playing a game streamed from the cloud, viewers can benefit from picture processing designed around the content.</p>



<p>As home entertainment evolves, HDR10+ ADVANCED represents another step toward a more flexible and refined viewing experience.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Research reveals that teens regularly look to their parents for career guidance, with 82%<sup data-fn="a541ca2d-2997-48cf-916f-59a793407eb3" class="fn"><a href="#a541ca2d-2997-48cf-916f-59a793407eb3" id="a541ca2d-2997-48cf-916f-59a793407eb3-link">2</a></sup> asking for advice on school, skills and emerging tech careers between one and ten times a month. Yet many parents feel completely out of their depth:</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Among parents who feel ill-equipped, parents point to a qualifications system that is too complex to navigate (35%) and a lack of clear information or reliable resources (34%).

<p class="has-medium-font-size">In a fun <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/solvefortomorrow/?msockid=10e43aee351b666b06f52e51343c670b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new film</a> launched today, Joe goes on a mission through his local community – turning to taxi drivers, baristas, and quizzing fellow parents on the street – only to discover everyone is just as baffled as he is. That is, until he meets Samsung Solve for Tomorrow alumni Sophie Cradock, a tech savvy teen and founder of the <a href="https://ifpsoceanprotector.com/#about-sophie" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Illegal Fishing Prediction System</a>, who built up the confidence and skills she needed to navigate her own career in tech through the competition. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/05102655/Samsung-Solve-For-Tomorrow-2026-v11.00_02_13_22.Still005-1000x563.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26487" /></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Joe Swash, dad and TV Presenter said:</strong> “<em>As a dad, you want to be the one with all the answers, but the world is moving at lightning speed! When my teens start talking about jobs that didn’t even exist when I was growing up, I just sit there nodding along, totally blagging it. It turns out us parents are all in the same boat, secretly searching what it all means under the table!</em></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>“That’s why Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is so brilliant. It gives young people the chance to get stuck into tackling real-world issues and coming up with their own creative solutions using tech. They learn new skills, build their confidence and get to turn something they’re passionate about into something that could make a real difference. And as a dad, that’s what you want, isn’t it? To see your kids find their feet and do something they’re proud of.”</em></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Recognising that many parents feel uncertain about navigating modern qualifications and career pathways, Samsung has also created a free parent guide to accompany the programme.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Available to download from <a href="http://solvefortomorrowuk.com" data-type="link" data-id="solvefortomorrowuk.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">solvefortomorrowuk.com</a>, it provides conversation starters to help parents and young people discuss the ideas explored through Samsung Solve for Tomorrow and how these relate to future careers in technology and beyond. The guide signposts families to trusted careers information and explains routes into technology careers, including Samsung apprenticeships, placement years and graduate programmes.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">For young people curious about where their skills could take them, the competition offers a hands-on taste of the very careers parents are struggling to explain. Working alone or in teams of up to four, students choose one of three challenge themes for 2026/27, each linked to a fast-growing area of work:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li class="has-medium-font-size">Smarter Sport – tech that makes sport more inclusive and helps people perform better.</li>



<li class="has-medium-font-size">Greener Future – tech that protects the planet and supports sustainable living.</li>



<li class="has-medium-font-size">Safer Online – tech that keeps people connected, confident and in control.</li>
</ul>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Mirroring a real-world product development cycle, the innovation competition runs in three stages – Imagine it, Make it and Pitch it. After entries close on 18th January 2027, semi-finalists will be paired with Samsung mentors and given funding to build a prototype, before finalists pitch to a panel of Samsung and industry experts at the national final in April 2027.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Finalists will also take part in a Work Experience Day with Samsung, gaining first-hand insight into life in the tech industry, while winners will see their ideas showcased on the big screen at Piccadilly Circus and take home some of the latest Samsung products for themselves, their teachers and schools.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">As part of its commitment to opening up access to STEM and innovation opportunities for young people across the UK and Ireland, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is delivering free regional workshops in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London. Reaching more than 700 students from 13 schools this term alone, the sessions challenge young people to identify issues they care about, develop technology-driven solutions, and pitch their ideas, helping them build confidence in creative problem-solving, innovation and communication.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Following a workshop at a school in Stoke-on-Trent, one teacher said: <em>“We’re using Samsung Solve for Tomorrow as the basis for our Key Stage 4 Non-Exam Assessment (NEA), so this is great for getting more focus and more entries for the competition.”</em> One Year 10 student added: <em>“This is so good, I think I’m on the way to London!”</em></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">The workshops are backed by teacher training designed to build lasting confidence rather than a one-off session. On Wednesday 11 November (4–5pm), teachers can join a free, interactive CPD (Continuous Professional Development) webinar exploring simple, classroom-ready techniques that help students generate ideas, solve problems and build creative confidence. Drawing on design thinking approaches used in Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, as well as early careers insights from a Samsung colleague and a practising Design & Technology teacher, the session will help teachers and practitioners support young people to think more creatively. Teachers can <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/t7b9F6P7SGKowUR98RAjEw#/registration?utm_source=Comms&utm_medium=Partner&utm_campaign=Nov_2026-H&G-Publications-Other--&utm_content=SSFT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">register for the webinar here</a>. Entries are submitted by a teacher or home-educating parent at <a href="http://solvefortomorrowuk.com" data-type="link" data-id="solvefortomorrowuk.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">solvefortomorrowuk.com</a>.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jessie Soohyun Park, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Samsung, added:</strong> “<em>As a parent working in the tech industry myself, I’m often asked how I’m preparing my own children for the future. I don’t always have the answer and know lots of parents feel the same way. What I do know is that exposure to hands-on experiences, relatable role models, and core skills like creativity and problem-solving are what young people need to chart their career.</em></p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>“Young people have an incredible drive to innovate and through Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, we want to help them channel their passions into tech for good solutions while building future-proof design-thinking skills. Seeing alumni like Sophie go onto start their own businesses and speak so confidently about their future is easily the most rewarding part of what we do.”</em></p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">The Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026 are under way in Senegal from October 31 to November 13, bringing together some 2,700 young athletes across 25 sports for the first Olympic event ever held on the African continent.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">As a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, Samsung Electronics is supporting the Games with Galaxy technology — from Victory Selfie and broadcast integrations to the Samsung Open Station, an experience space inside the Youth Olympic Village. Having supported the Youth Olympic Games since the inaugural edition in Singapore in 2010, Samsung is going beyond technology at Dakar 2026 to support young athletes’ personal growth as well.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">For the athletes competing at Dakar 2026, reaching the Olympic stage is the result of years of dedication. But some of the most lasting lessons come from what happens along the way — overcoming setbacks, building resilience, discovering what matters beyond results.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">That is why, on November 3, Samsung hosted “Beyond the Medal: Your Journey Shapes What Comes Next,” a mentoring session at the Samsung Open Station inside the Youth Olympic Village. By bringing in athletes who have walked the Olympic path before them, the session aimed to inspire pride and motivation in the next generation — and to share the spirit of openness at the heart of Samsung’s Olympic partnership.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/05094707/Photo-2-1000x667.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26475" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ The mentoring session held at the Samsung Open Station.

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Two IOC Athlete Role Models<sup data-fn="fea5895d-7c70-4606-9e48-48d7244633dc" class="fn"><a href="#fea5895d-7c70-4606-9e48-48d7244633dc" id="fea5895d-7c70-4606-9e48-48d7244633dc-link">1</a></sup> – Senegalese canoe slalom Olympian Jean-Pierre Bourhis (31) and Ugandan swimmer Jamila Lunkuse (29) – joined New Zealand tennis bronze medalist Marcus Daniell (36) for a conversation with young athletes.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="542" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/05094657/Photo-1-1000x542.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26474" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ (From left) Jean-Pierre Bourhis (Senegal, Canoe slalom), Jamila Lunkuse (Uganda, Swimming) and Marcus Daniell(New Zealand, Tennis) (Copyright: Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Moderated by <a href="https://bit.ly/4gAA8qW" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lefa Makgato</a>, CSR Manager at Samsung Electronics Africa, the session brought the three mentors together with 28 young athletes from 12 countries to share the journeys that shaped them — and offer a guide for exploring where life beyond sport might lead.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Open the Way: Finding Your Own Path</strong></h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Makgato opened by asking each mentor where their Olympic journey began.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">For Bourhis, who represented Senegal at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 and is featured in Samsung’s “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFuVGbyOgSs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Voices of Galaxy: Paddling for the Future</a>,” the dream took shape in 2008, when Togo’s Benjamin Boukpeti won a bronze medal in kayaking at Beijing 2008.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">“As a kid, I realised an African paddler could reach the podium,” he said. “Rio 2016 showed me the way could be opened. Now my job is to keep it open for others.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/05094717/Photo-3-1000x667.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26476" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Jean-Pierre Bourhis (Senegal), IOC Athlete Role Model at Samsung Mentoring Session. (Copyright: IOC/ Franco Arland)</figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Lunkuse, who made her Olympic Games debut at 15, recalled that swimming began with friendship rather than ambition. “I wasn’t thinking about medals or the Olympics,” she said. “I just enjoyed being part of something with my friends, and that’s what built my love for the sport.”</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Daniell, who ended New Zealand’s 109-year wait for an Olympic tennis medal at Tokyo 2020, pointed to choosing tennis over football at 14. “Because I’d given up a sport I loved, I knew I had to fully commit,” he said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Break Your Boundaries: Learning Through Challenges</strong></h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">The conversation then turned to the biggest challenges each mentor faced.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">With almost no whitewater facilities in Senegal, Bourhis had to build his training base in France — while holding down a full-time job as an engineer in electric vehicle repair. “As an engineer, I see a limit as a problem to solve, not a wall,” he said. “I train before work, during lunch or late at night. What keeps me going is purpose.”</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Lunkuse spoke openly about the anxiety she faced ahead of Rio 2016. “I became so focused on qualifying times that I no longer enjoyed it,” she said. “It was only when I took time away that I could see what I was going through and what help I needed — and that’s what got me to Rio 2016.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/05094727/Photo-4-1000x667.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26477" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Jamila Lunkuse (Uganda), IOC Athlete Role Model at Samsung Mentoring Session. (Copyright: IOC/ Franco Arland)</figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Daniell described a knee injury in 2022 that kept him out for nearly two years. “What got me through was having something bigger than tennis,” he said. “Everyone fails. Those who last are the ones who learn to pick themselves up when they fall.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Beyond the Game: Turning Experience Into Opportunity</strong></h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Finally, Makgato asked how the lessons of sport carried into what came next.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Through nonprofit work, Bourhis is building a canoeing ecosystem in Senegal. “We’re building it step by step — and building canoes locally makes the sport more affordable, creates local jobs and leaves a lasting legacy,” he said. “I want to give the next generation the tools to build their own way.”</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Lunkuse, a youth coach and World Aquatics Athletes’ Committee member, urges young athletes to look beyond results. “Results do not define your value,” she said.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Similarly, Daniell – an IOC Athletes’ Commission member and founder of High Impact Athletes, a nonprofit connecting athletes with charities – advised: “Look for a goal beyond personal success. For me, that was what kept pushing me forward.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/05094737/Photo-5-1000x667.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26478" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Marcus Daniell (New Zealand), Tokyo 2020 Olympic Medalist at Samsung Mentoring Session.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Opening Possibilities for the Next Generation</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/05094751/Photo-6-1000x667.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26479" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">▲ Lefa Makgato, CSR Manager at Samsung Electronics Africa, moderated the session. (Copyright: IOC/ Franco Arland)</figcaption></figure>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Makgato closed the session with a story of her own. Growing up in a small township in South Africa, she first encountered a computer at 18 — at one of Samsung’s Solar Powered Internet Schools. She later joined Samsung Electronics Africa, where she now leads CSR programs across the continent, including Solve for Tomorrow, giving the next generation the kind of opportunity she once received. Having seen firsthand how a single opportunity can change a life, she had good reason to stand before the young athletes that day.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">“I know firsthand how access to technology and education opens doors you may never have imagined. Where you are today doesn’t determine where you’re going,” she said. “We wanted to encourage young athletes to stay open to new ideas and recognise the potential they have to shape their own futures.”</p>

<p>Black Friday shoppers will spend more than double what they spent last year treating themselves in the sales<sup data-fn="620d495c-e2c4-42ed-911e-73bcc92669d1" class="fn"><a href="#620d495c-e2c4-42ed-911e-73bcc92669d1" id="620d495c-e2c4-42ed-911e-73bcc92669d1-link">1</a></sup>, as Brits choose to prioritise their own wish lists and quality over quantity.</p>



<p>More than a third (35%) of Black Friday shoppers are planning to use the sales to buy something for themselves this year, as almost a third (32%) say they feel they deserve a reward.</p>



<p>These purchases are far from spur-of-the-moment. According to new research, 4 in 10 Black Friday shoppers (41%) planning to treat themselves have been waiting for the sales to finally buy something they’ve had their eye on, with nearly a third (29%) having spent the last three months thinking about it.</p>



<p>With its own Black Friday offers launching from 4 November, Samsung polled UK shoppers to see what they’ve been saving up for, finding technology (23%) – including phones, tablets and TVs – among the top categories, alongside fashion items (25%), beauty products (20%), and small household appliances (16%).</p>



<p>When it comes to tech, long-term value is proving important. Half (50%) of shoppers say a higher-priced, premium technology product can be worth the extra cost if it is likely to last longer, while 43% point to better features or performance and 43% say buying from a brand they trust makes the additional spend worthwhile.</p>



<p>Valuing quality over quantity, more than a quarter (28%) agree a bigger planned purchase, like upgrading your smartphone or a household appliance, is more of a treat than a small spontaneous one – with almost half (47%) believing the discount makes it easier to justify.</p>



<p>Some are even prepared to make room elsewhere in their budgets to get the bigger treat they want, with shoppers willing to cut back on takeaways or eating out (25%), coffees and snacks (20%) and nights out (19%) to save for their Black Friday purchases. 21% also admit to planning these big purchases up to three months in advance.</p>



<p><strong>Zeena Hill, Senior Director of Marketing for Home Entertainment and Appliances at Samsung UK,</strong> said<a>:</a><em> </em><em>“The smartest shoppers aren’t chasing the lowest price tag, they’re hunting for long-term value. From our research we’re seeing a clear trend where households are making calculated adjustments in their everyday spending so they can invest in home upgrades that will last.</em></p>



<p><em>“A great deal feels good. Buying smart feels even better. Whether it’s an award-winning, big-screen OLED TV, an energy-saving appliance that cuts your bills, or a Galaxy Z Fold8 that unlocks the latest AI, the real win is getting more from your money.”</em></p>



<p>Of those planning to take advantage of this year’s deals, 14% have delayed upgrading their mobile phones in the hope of getting a discount this year.</p>



<p>A discount can provide the final nudge shoppers need to make a purchase they have been considering, with 41% saying an item being discounted or on special offer makes them feel more comfortable spending money on something they genuinely want.</p>



<p>In fact, almost two thirds (65%) say they at least sometimes need a specific reason – such as a discount or milestone – to feel comfortable spending money on a treat they truly deserve.</p>



<p>Supporting shoppers’ desire to buy once and buy well, <a href="https://news.samsung.com/uk/samsung-black-friday-2026-ready-for-a-premium-upgrade">Samsung’s Black Friday deals start from <strong>4 November 2026</strong></a> – with discounts and offers available across the latest Galaxy smartphones, TVs, home appliances and more.</p>

<p>Taking place in Senegal from Oct. 31 to Nov. 13, Dakar 2026 is bringing together more than 2,700 young athletes from 207 countries across 25 sports. It also marks a historic milestone as the first Olympic sporting event to be held on the African continent. Additionally, Samsung is drawing on nearly four decades of experience within the Olympic Movement to further strengthen its commitment to the Youth Olympic Games, which dates back to the inaugural edition, Singapore 2010.</p>

<p>“The Youth Olympic Games represent an important stage in a young athlete’s journey — where competition, connection, and personal growth come together,” said Stephanie Choi, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Brand Center at Samsung Electronics. “At Dakar 2026, we are committed to bringing the Games to more people and enriching the experience for the athletes who take part through purposeful Galaxy innovation and programs designed around their needs.”  </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Helping Power the Youth Olympic Games: Bringing Galaxy Innovation to Dakar 2026</strong></h2>



<p>Having introduced sports technology integrations at Paris 2024 and Milano Cortina 2026, Samsung is now bringing these innovations to the Youth Olympic Games for the first time.</p>



<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra devices are being incorporated into skateboarding and taekwondo coverage alongside existing broadcast cameras, enabling handheld, close-up, and vertical perspectives that can complement traditional production. Dakar 2026 is also serving as an opportunity to test and learn from these applications as Samsung continues exploring how mobile technology can support future Games experiences, including on the road to the LA28 Games.</p>



<p>The Olympic Victory Selfie is making its Youth Olympic Games debut at Dakar 2026, extending a program that has become an iconic expression of athlete celebration at the Olympic and Paralympic Games since its debut at Paris 2024. Centered on connection, emotion, and self-expression, Victory Selfie gives athletes a more personal way to capture and share the moments that define their journey.</p>



<p>Using Galaxy Z Flip7 Olympic Edition devices, medalists across disciplines will have the opportunity to commemorate their winning moments as part of Victory Selfie activations around medal ceremonies to create lasting memories of their achievement that are sharable with friends, family, and supporters around the world.</p>

<p>Dakar 2026 marks a milestone as both the first Olympic sporting event held on the African continent and as a new chapter in Samsung’s support of the Youth Olympic Games, which dates back to Singapore 2010. Alongside its athlete-facing programs, Samsung is extending the excitement of the Games into communities across Senegal through local media, digital, retail, and consumer activations designed to help more people take part in the excitement of Dakar 2026.</p>



<p>Out-of-home campaigns will spotlight Dakar 2026 – and Samsung’s programming – across key locations in Dakar and Senegal while Samsung consumer experience zones will bring the excitement of the Youth Olympic Games into local communities. This will give fans opportunities to explore Galaxy technology, take part in interactive sports and AI-powered challenges, and create their own Olympic-inspired moments.</p>



<p>Samsung is also working with domestic partners on their retail initiatives for Dakar 2026, including special Galaxy offers and in-store activations, while a citywide pin program spanning Samsung locations will encourage consumers to explore the Games and participate in Samsung experiences throughout Dakar.</p>



<p>Together, these programs extend Samsung’s commitment to the Olympic Games beyond the competition venues — supporting young athletes at the center of the Games while creating more ways for local fans and communities to experience and celebrate this historic moment.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="558" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Samsung-Digital-Appliances-Bespoke-AI-Single-1-Door-Fridge-Freezer-Bespoke-AI-Dishwasher-Extractor-Induction-Hob_main1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-24278" /></figure>



<p>A good purchase earns its place in the routines we repeat every week. As Black Friday 2026 approaches, it is worth thinking about what will make life at home easier long after the shopping season ends.</p>



<p>Research from SmartLabX, a dedicated analysis program that tracks the lifestyles of European households and their expectations regarding the technologies that surround them, shows that value has been redefined by the consumer and price is no longer rarely considered in isolation.<sup data-fn="acde5833-20ba-4f71-820d-669992f03bdd" class="fn"><a href="#acde5833-20ba-4f71-820d-669992f03bdd" id="acde5833-20ba-4f71-820d-669992f03bdd-link">1</a></sup></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Value not just today, but for the future</h2>



<p>A refrigerator isn’t bought for just one occasion. It needs to hold all your regular food shopping, make room for ingredients when hosting friends and family, and keep pace as households change and grow. Whether it is keeping milk chilled or feeding three generations of a family, choosing the right appliance matters.</p>



<p>Thinking about those familiar moments can make it easier to choose an appliance that will feel useful throughout the year. On selected Samsung refrigerators, Twin Cooling Plus<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> optimises temperature and humidity in the fridge and freezer using independent cooling airflows to help keep food fresher for longer and prevent odours from mixing.<sup data-fn="00c90cb9-c9ce-40a3-bc6b-c7fe1c8a44b3" class="fn"><a href="#00c90cb9-c9ce-40a3-bc6b-c7fe1c8a44b3" id="00c90cb9-c9ce-40a3-bc6b-c7fe1c8a44b3-link">2</a></sup></p>



<p>For someone who likes to plan meals ahead, that means ingredients are cared for between visits to the food outlets and the next evening spent cooking. It is a practical benefit that becomes part of the rhythm of the kitchen.</p>



<p>Among European refrigerator buyers, 36% consider reliability and durability important, almost matching the 37% who consider price<sup>1</sup> important. What matters is not only what an appliance costs, but how well it works for the people using it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy efficiency that fits the weekly routine</h2>



<p>With laundry running several times a week in many homes, energy use is a key part of the value equation, particularly as the cost of living continues to rise. Energy efficiency ranks as the most important feature for refrigerator buyers (37%), while also ranking second for washing machines (32%)<sup>1</sup>.</p>



<p>A load of bedding for visiting guests may not need to be ready straight away, while clothes for tomorrow’s workday or the kid’s school uniform are a must. Choosing a cycle around the time available can help make energy-conscious habits easier to fit into the week.</p>



<p>AI Energy Mode in SmartThings supports this on compatible Samsung washing machines and selected cycles, reducing energy use by washing at lower temperatures and extending the cycle time. When there is less need to rush, it offers a way to manage energy use within the usual laundry routine.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making the everyday that little bit easier</h2>



<p>Life is busy, and the best value appliances are those that allow customers to spend less time on routine chores, and more time on the things that they enjoy. In the kitchen, it is often what happens after the meal that matters.</p>



<p>Across Europe, 81%<sup>1</sup> of consumers say they are willing to pay more for self-cleaning ovens. After roasting a big family meal or cooking dinner for friends, scrubbing the oven with a full belly is not on the top of anyone’s to do list.</p>



<p>Pyrolytic Cleaning on selected Samsung ovens turns grease and food residue into ash that can be wiped away once the oven has cooled. It makes the clean-up less demanding, so cooking at home feels a little easier from start to finish.</p>



<p>At Samsung we understand how busy life gets, and that is why we have designed appliances that work to make life that little bit easier.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A choice that fits everyday life</h2>



<p>This Black Friday season, a useful place to start is an ordinary week at home. Think about the meals you cook, the washing you do, the amount of food you need store, and the jobs you would welcome a little help with.</p>



<p>The biggest saving may not be the appliance with the lowest price. Genuine value means choosing products that offer lasting performance, support efficient everyday living and make life that little bit easier.</p>



<p>Samsung home appliances can support those familiar routines, bringing value to the moments that continue long after the shopping season is over Enabling Better Living.</p>

<p>​To our valued Samsung TV customers across London and across the world, <em>Thank you.</em></p>



<p>​Whether you welcomed a Samsung TV into your home two weeks ago or two decades ago, your trust in our innovation TVs has helped us reach an extraordinary milestone.</p>



<p>This year marked the <strong>20th consecutive year</strong> Samsung Electronics has been named the <strong>world’s No. 1 TV brand</strong><sup data-fn="61edb840-bcc1-4ee7-a680-dda81f27a831" class="fn"><a href="#61edb840-bcc1-4ee7-a680-dda81f27a831" id="61edb840-bcc1-4ee7-a680-dda81f27a831-link">1</a></sup>, a testament to two decades of shared cinematic moments, sporting triumphs, and daily family entertainment.</p>



<p>​Since first taking the global top spot in 2006, Samsung recorded a 29.1% share of the global TV market in 2025, according to market research firm Omdia.</p>



<p>While these numbers reflect our industry leadership, what matters most to us is being the canvas for your everyday life.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Shaping the Future of Home Entertainment</strong></h2>



<p>​As we look to the next chapter, our promise remains the same: to deliver exceptional picture quality, elegant design, and seamless connected experiences.</p>



<p>​We continue to expand our cutting-edge <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/tvs/micro-rgb-tv/highlights/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Micro RGB</strong></a> technology, delivering ultra-precise RGB light control and breathtaking colour accuracy. Meanwhile, our latest <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/tvs/oled-tv/highlights/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>OLED</strong></a> line-ups deliver true blacks, vibrant contrast, and picture quality optimised by real-time AI processing.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/lifestyle-tvs/the-frame/highlights/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>The Frame</strong></a> continues to blend world-class picture performance with museum-quality digital art, allowing you to seamlessly integrate technology into your personal interior style.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>You Joined Us for Two Decades of Unforgettable Shared Moments</strong></h2>



<p>​Over the last 20 years, our screens have been the window to history, bringing millions of households together across [London] to witness unforgettable moments in real time.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>​<strong>A Generation of Olympic Magic:</strong> From the dazzling light shows of Beijing 2008 and the unforgettable spectacle of London 2012, to the carnival energy of Rio 2016, the quiet resilience of Tokyo 2020, and the breath-taking open-air celebration along the Seine for Paris 2024. [London] viewers have cheered on the world’s greatest athletes in stunning picture quality.</li>



<li>​<strong>Eurovision’s Unforgettable Revolutions:</strong> [London]’s favourite musical spectacle has kept us endlessly entertained over the last two decades. Millions tuned in to see Finnish heavy metal band Lordi shatter expectations with their iconic 2006 victory, paving the way for 20 legendary years of show-stopping performances, vibrant costumes, and historic wins.</li>



<li>​<strong>Royal Celebrations and Global Union:</strong> Millions of viewers across the world tuned in simultaneously in April 2011 to watch Prince William marry Catherine Middleton, transforming living rooms into front-row seats for a modern fairy tale that captivated a worldwide audience.</li>



<li>​<strong>Triumphs of Human Resilience:</strong> In October 2010, the world held its breath as live broadcasts tracked the perilous rescue of 33 Chilean miners trapped underground for 69 days, uniting viewers across [London] in collective relief as each miner emerged safely to the surface.</li>



<li>​<strong>Connecting in Times of Separation:</strong> During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, living rooms became our classrooms, workplaces, and sanctuaries. Televisions played a vital role in keeping [London] households informed, entertained, and connected during unprecedented lockdown measures.</li>



<li><strong>The State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II: </strong>In September 2022, the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II became one of the most-watched live television events in European history. Broadcasters across the continent paused regular programming to transmit the ceremony from Westminster Abbey. The broadcast drew an estimated global audience of billions, marking the end of a 70-year reign.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>20 Years of Industry-Defining Innovation</strong></h2>



<p>​Our commitment to redefining display technology has always been inspired by how you watch, live, and interact with your TV. The last 20 years have seen many TV milestones, from design evolution of the Bordeaux TV to The Frame, celebrating the transformation of the “black screen” into art in partnership with iconic European museum and galleries like British museum and the Louvre to Samsung’s commitment of “Screens for All” by featuring Relumino Mode, which helps visually impaired users enjoy shared moments with their families. To address Europe’s strict privacy standards, Samsung Knox has been a silent guardian, ensuring that the connected smart home remains a safe and trusted sanctuary.</p>



<p>Here is a look back at the journey we’ve taken together since first reaching the No. 1 position in 2006 with the iconic, design-led Bordeaux TV:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>​<strong>2009:</strong> Accelerated the global transition to LED TVs, setting new standards for slimmer, more energy-efficient displays.</li>



<li>​<strong>2011:</strong> Introduced Smart TVs, transforming televisions into connected entertainment hubs that went beyond traditional viewing.</li>



<li>​<strong>2015:</strong> Reimagined living spaces with <em>The Serif</em>, positioning the screen as a furniture-like statement piece.</li>



<li>​<strong>2017:</strong> Launched <em>The Frame</em>, pioneering the Art TV category by transforming the display into a customisable digital art canvas.</li>



<li>​<strong>2017:</strong> Set industry benchmarks for picture quality with the introduction of QLED TVs powered by quantum dot technology.</li>



<li>​<strong>2018:</strong> Brought true clarity home with 8K TVs, offering four times the resolution of 4K.</li>



<li>​<strong>2020:</strong> Introduced MICRO LED technology, advancing self-emissive display innovation for unprecedented brightness, contrast, and colour accuracy.</li>



<li><strong>2025</strong>: Samsung introduces its first Micro RGB TV. Setting a new benchmark for colour accuracy, contrast and immersive viewing in the ultra-premium TV segment. Featuring the world’s first sub-100 micrometer pixel RGB LED backlight display behind a large 115-inch screen, it set a new benchmark for colour accuracy, contrast and immersive viewing in the ultra-premium TV segment. The following year Samsung introduced a wider range of Micro RGB TVs; the R95H and R85H.</li>
</ul>



<p>Now, we look ahead to the next 20 years and the advances in AI-Enhanced Viewing Experience, with upscaled content that brings stunning clarity and personalising audio and picture quality to match each user’s unique home environment.</p>



<p>Thank you once again for letting us be a part of your homes for the past 20 years. We look forward to bringing you the next generation of visual innovation.</p>



<p>Signed sincerely,</p>



<p>Samsung Electronics</p>
