LONDON, UK – 3rd January 2018 – Samsung Electronics has today announced the launch of the Rose Pink version of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphone in the UK.

Inspired by nature, the new hue envelops the device, creating a sense of unity and fluidity between the glass and metal of the phone’s body. The Rose Pink colour itself is simultaneously sophisticated and modern, adding to the overall aesthetics of the device and intensifying the depth of its design.

Available from selected retailers and Samsung.com, the Rose Pink S8 & S8+ joins Midnight Black, Orchid Gray, Coral Blue and Arctic Silver colours already available.

As an athlete, hitting ‘100 days to go’ until competition begins (at the Winter Olympic Games), is the moment when it all starts to feel real. The moment you dream of, train and prepare for is just around the corner. Last weekend marked that milestone and I had the chance to celebrate it in a truly memorable way, by teaming up with Samsung UK, a presenting partner of the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Torch Relay and Winter Olympic Games .

The Olympic Torch Relay began on November 1^st 2017 in Incheon Metropolitan City. The 147km leg across the city of Busan took place across three days and included around 405 runners, and I was lucky enough to be one of them.

After more than 14 hours in the air, including a brief stopover in Tokyo, we touched down in Busan last Friday afternoon for a very special day and a half. I was immediately struck by the stunning scenery and outstanding architecture in South Korea; it’s so cool that the Games will be held there.

After the chance to experience the best Busan has to offer, including the hustle and bustle of Gukje Market and the epic history of the Beomeosa Temple, I set off to be a part of this unique opportunity alongside Amy Williams, Ellie Simmonds, Susie Rodgers and Rowan Cheshire. The atmosphere was electric, the crowd were cheering even before we had made it onto the bus to take us to the official relay. Standing on the side lines, hearing the crowds and the parade as I stood with my torch was honestly mad, I thought to myself – this is a moment I will treasure for the rest of my life!

Thanks to Samsung UK I was able to capture the highlights using my Galaxy S8, and you can see a video of my adventure here:

Samsung is a presenting partner of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Torch Relay and is enabling a great number of inspirational Torchbearers to ‘Do What You Can’t’ by contributing to local communities, through its worldwide public nomination campaign.

After a call out on social media, fans who responded thought they were going to a secret London location to compete in a lip sync battle but were shocked and delighted when Charli revealed herself. Watch the moment below.

Charli commented “I’ve loved seeing clips of my fans lip-syncing to ‘Boys’. It was cool to see how into it they got on set. Samsung have let me share the stage with fans across the summer and it’s been a lot of fun.”

Fans were gifted a new Samsung Galaxy S8 and captured the surprise in real time on their phones, footage from which features in the video. The fans, who travelled from Manchester, Nottingham and London, couldn’t believe it and were treated to a day beyond their wildest dreams.

Isaac, 20 commented “At the beginning of the week I tweeted a video of me lip-syncing to the song in a bar with my mates, and now I’ve just been on stage with Charli. It’s unreal”.

Samsung has given music fans the chance to share the stage throughout summer, via uniquely brilliant experiences that inspire consumers to #DoWhatYouCant.

As it has made continual strides as a global company, Samsung has ranked as one of the top 10 brands on the Interbrand rankings from 2012 to 2017, demonstrating continual growth in brand value.

This year’s achievement is particularly meaningful given some of the challenges that Samsung has faced, and overcome, in the past year. For example, Interbrand, in its evaluation, cited among various factors, Samsung’s exemplary, fast recovery from last year’s Galaxy Note 7 crisis, the company’s successful launches of flagship products, and its continued stellar financial performance.

In particular, Samsung’s mobile business reconfirmed its market leadership through the successful launch of the Galaxy S8. Samsung’s memory division also performed strongly, with its record profits contributing to the rise in brand value. Samsung’s digital appliances business introduced innovative and award-winning new products, developed from deep consumer insights, like the Family Hub refrigerator and AddWash washing machine. Samsung’s visual display division also broke new ground in the TV market with the new QLED TV as well as The Frame, a new lifestyle TV for the home.

“Our efforts to make meaningful progress to improve people’s lives contributed to the rise in brand value,” said YH Lee, CMO of Samsung Electronics. “Our ranking this year is a positive sign that demonstrates our efforts to regain trust have resonated with global consumers.”

This year’s Interbrand’s Best Global Brands will be announced at the World Trade Center in New York City on September 27.

Music festivals don’t really get much quirkier than Bestival. And as the crowds  – decked out in wellington boots, colourful fancy dress and glittery face paint  – descended upon a rainy field in Dorset, it felt like a great way to say good-bye to another British summer.

Looking at those festivalgoers taking shelter from yet another shower, you might wonder why so many people choose not only to pay those hefty admission prices, but actually count themselves lucky to get tickets to these sold-out events. Of course there’s a lot of fantastic music on offer, but you could listen to great music in the comfort of your own home, without enduring the smell of portaloos, paying five pounds for a pint, or getting covered in mud.

It all comes down to one thing though: Creating a truly memorable experience. And technology’s greatest magic is to help people create, capture and share those special moments. This is also what drew so many people to the Samsung 360 Infinity Selfie experience at Bestival, which gave people the chance of creating a truly unique souvenir of their festival experience. That souvenir could then be shared with friends, strangers and those who hadn’t been lucky enough to get a ticket and be there to share the moment in person.

This is also why immersive technologies such as 360 degree capture and virtual reality are proving so popular. It’s becoming a lot easier to capture life in all its vivid glory. I, for one, always love watching people try Virtual Reality for the first time. When I visited my family in Brazil last year I took the Samsung Gear VR and Galaxy S7 with me, and treated everyone in my family to their first VR experience. I literally never get tired of seeing them gasp in wonder and delight.

I had a similar experience at the Bestival Hypercube. Because even though I had seen the Hypercube in action at Reading Festival the previous week, I enjoyed seeing each new group being genuinely wowed and delighted as the doors opened and the mirror chamber was revealed in all its glory.

So I made my way over to the shiny structure, which managed to gleam even in the cloudy weather. Anywhere else the iridescent 40-foot cube would have stood out as the strangest thing around, but at Bestival it was competing with towering sculptures of robots and astronauts, a giant mirror disco ball, an inflatable cathedral were couples were invited to get married (I have my doubts whether the ceremonies were legally binding, but they looked like good fun anyway) a Helter-skelter, and a real castle which belonged to the estate hosting the festival.

As I joined the queue, the friendly ushers in the black Samsung Hypercube t-shirts did a brilliant job of psyching up the crowd lining up for their turn, and letting them know what to expect once they stepped into the cube’s antechamber. “There are mirrors EVERYWHERE, vain people LOVE it.” our friendly guide joked. I remembered him as we’d met him the previous week at Reading, and although his voice was finally going a bit croaky after introducing so many groups to the concept of the infinity room and a collective 360 degree selfie, he still managed to sound enthusiastic about it.

While they waited the crowd was also invited to experience some exclusive VR content on the new Samsung gear, and register their email addresses so that they could receive their selfies via email after the experience.

When it was our turn to go in, each person got handed some distinctly unfashionable plastic overshoes, but the reason for that soon becomes clear as you enter the dazzling inner hypercube chamber. Every single surface is covered with glittering mirrors, and that includes the floor. Muddy wellies, while essential for getting that authentic festival look, would rather spoil the effect.

At the centre of the room was a pillar with about a dozen or so Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphones, setup so that users could quickly choose what kind of music and graphics they wanted to be part of their hyper-selfie experience. Every individual choice went into the collective mix, causing groups of strangers to bond, as it felt like we were making a connection to each other through the process of creating that moment together.

Having recently upgraded to the Galaxy S8 and new Samsung gear, I can see how far the technology has evolved in less than a year, making it so much easier not only to watch, but also to capture and share your own enhanced, immersive content. That’s the game changer, because experiences are so much more vivid when they manage to be both personal and collective. Just like going to a great music festival, or dancing your heart out in the Samsung Hypercube.

The ability to create social content that people can (and want to) share is will take such technologies to the next level and make consumers use them as routinely and naturally as they check their smartphone. Striking the balance between simplicity, intuitive design and providing a wow factor is crucial, and we’re quickly getting to that point. But with experiences like the Hypercube, and technology like we see in the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the latest generation Samsung Gear headsets, I believe we might get there even sooner than a lot of people think.

Visitors in the queue were able to view VR content from rock duo Royal Blood, and took selfies on the 360 cameras, before entering the tunnel that led them into the Hypercube.
