									<description><![CDATA[LONDON, UK – June 29, 2022 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the new Galaxy XCover6 Pro, a purposefully engineered, enterprise-ready smartphone]]></description>
																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><strong>LONDON, UK – June 29, 2022 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. </strong></span><span>today announced the new Galaxy XCover6 Pro, a purposefully engineered, enterprise-ready smartphone powerful enough to support today’s most demanding businesses. The XCover6 Pro delivers enhanced mobility with strong performance, end-to-end security and ruggedised durability to help employees get more from their device, whether they’re in the office or in the field. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>“The expansion of mobile technology in the workplace means business is no longer confined to an office, and companies must evolve to keep up with this ever-changing landscape,” said KC Choi, EVP and Head of Global Mobile B2B Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “We created the Galaxy XCover Pro series to give companies a mobile device strong enough to withstand the rigors of business on the frontline. We’re excited to extend this commitment further with the introduction of the Galaxy XCover6 Pro, a device that pairs uncompromised durability with seamless connectivity to unlock success for businesses of all shapes and sizes.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13345" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/012.Galaxy-XCover6-Pro-Hero-Main-1-1000x563.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/012.Galaxy-XCover6-Pro-Hero-Main-1-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/012.Galaxy-XCover6-Pro-Hero-Main-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/012.Galaxy-XCover6-Pro-Hero-Main-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/012.Galaxy-XCover6-Pro-Hero-Main-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span><strong>Powerful Performance for Unbeatable Productivity</strong></span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The Galaxy XCover6 Pro is a breakthrough in ruggedised performance and is powered by an enhanced 6nm processor to deliver supercharged speeds that shorten work time and help employees get more done. And with an optional microSD card, the XCover6 Pro offers expandable storage, which means – no compromises with the work you do. It is also the first device in the XCover series to support 5G networking</span><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a><span> making it possible to work from anywhere a signal can be found. And with 6GHz band support with Wi-Fi 6E, the XCover6 Pro can make collaboration with colleagues easier and more impactful than ever before.</span><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Today, work can happen anywhere, so employees need a device that’s agile and reliable. With the Galaxy XCover6 Pro, users can conveniently extend the battery life of their device because its long-lasting, replaceable battery</span><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a><span> is easily swapped with a fresh one when it runs out. And thanks to convenient POGO charging</span><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a><span> capabilities, multiple users can dock their device and quickly power up for uninterrupted productivity. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>For workers who split their time between the office and working remotely, the Galaxy XCover6 Pro has Samsung DeX. This enables users to connect</span><a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a><span> their device to an external display, keyboard and mouse and enjoy a PC-like experience. Employees can also use their XCover6 Pro to take pictures and notes on the go, and then seamlessly access the information they captured to build reports once they’re back at their desk — all using one device.   </span></p>
<p><span> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13350" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/001.Galaxy-XCover6-Pro-BackFront-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/001.Galaxy-XCover6-Pro-BackFront-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/001.Galaxy-XCover6-Pro-BackFront-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/001.Galaxy-XCover6-Pro-BackFront-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span><strong>Strong and Streamlined for Challenging Work Environments</strong></span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The Galaxy XCover6 Pro is designed to endure extreme working conditions, making it the perfect partner for any business function — whether it’s in the hands of delivery drivers, sales associates or police officers. With a durable MIL-STD-810H</span><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[6]</sup></span></span></a><span> certified design, IP68 rating</span><a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[7]</sup></span></span></a><span> and Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+, it is built to withstand severe weather, drops and other hazards that come with working in the field. Further, in environments where gloves are required or workers are using their device outside in the rain, Touch Sensitivity</span><a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[8]</sup></span></span></a><span> settings can be adjusted to increase the screen’s receptiveness, while enhancements for touch in wet environments make it easier to use when your hand is damp in rainy conditions. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The Galaxy XCover6 Pro is built to last, so it can deliver maximum value to businesses while minimising impact on the environment. Its durable design inclusive of recycled plastics and a replaceable battery allows it to maintain peak performance throughout its extensive lifecycle. Samsung also provides security updates for up to five years and four additional One UI and OS upgrades</span><a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[9]</sup></span></span></a><span> after the initial global launch, helping to meet Galaxy for the Planet’s goal of reducing e-waste.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>While the Galaxy XCover6 Pro is among the most durable smartphones available, it’s also one of the least bulky. Its toughness is balanced with a stylish, sleek design more commonly found on consumer devices, giving it a slimmer and more ergonomic feel than traditional ruggedised smartphones. The XCover6 Pro is under ten-millimeters thick and features a dynamic 6.6-inch full-screen display</span><a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[10]</sup></span></span></a><span> with a super-smooth 120Hz refresh rate</span><a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[11]</sup></span></span></a><span>. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h2><span><strong>Tailored for Today’s Mobile Business Needs</strong></span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The Galaxy XCover6 Pro was designed to help businesses grow through the ongoing evolution of mobile technology. It is protected by Samsung’s leading end-to-end mobile security, Samsung Knox, which delivers multi-layered protection anchored from the chip up. The platform works like a vault with hardware-based protections, fully integrated with software to deliver end-to-end and real-time protection against ongoing threats facing the modern workforce. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Samsung’s One UI</span><a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[12]</sup></span></span></a><span> also brings an added level of protection, giving IT administrators and users easy control over their devices with an intuitive interface including transparent sharing and protection options. Administrators can remotely manage device integrity to ensure devices are safe and untampered with, while biometric support of facial recognition and fingerprint ensure the intended user is the only one able to access the device. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The Galaxy XCover6 Pro can be tailored to fit any business. It includes two programmable keys that can be customised to perform specific functions</span><a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[13]</sup></span></span></a><span>, depending on the business. Users can also use the device as an enterprise-grade barcode scanner through Knox Capture</span><a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[14]</sup></span></span></a><span> or as a walkie-talkie through its push-to-talk</span><a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[15]</sup></span></span></a><span> , which now comes with a louder-than-ever speaker volume</span><a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[16]</sup></span></span></a><span>. And, because every job comes with different demands, the XCover6 Pro comes with a wide variety of Samsung and partner accessories</span><a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[17]</sup></span></span></a><span> such as Smart Case, POGO/multi-device/battery pack chargers, charging cradles, belt clips, and PTT headsets. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><strong>Availability</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The Galaxy XCover6 Pro will be available starting July 2022 in select markets across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, with availability expanding to other regions at a later date. </span></p>

</ul>
<p>Conor Pierce, Corporate VP at Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland commented: “More business, less work; that’s the commitment we make to businesses when they sign up for Samsung’s Enterprise Edition devices.

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LONDON, UK – September 20th, 2019 – Samsung Electronics today announces Doorstep, the UK’s only roaming repair service for mobile and tablets, available directly to personalised locations across the nation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In collaboration with WeFix, Samsung’s official Doorstep Repair partner, the service aims to strengthen the brand’s ‘We Come To You and You Come To Us’ commitment, by offering accessible and affordable service to its valued customers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With a fleet of over 60 custom-built vans nationwide, the Samsung Doorstep service is available in over 94% of UK postcodes, including Northern Ireland.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5902" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/tfgjgf.jpg" alt="" width="1379" height="918" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/tfgjgf.jpg 1379w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/tfgjgf-613x408.jpg 613w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/tfgjgf-768x511.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/tfgjgf-1024x682.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1379px) 100vw, 1379px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Using Samsung genuine parts, specialist equipment and authorised trained engineers, the new service offers the same high standard of repair available through other Samsung accredited channels, but with the greatest level of convenience possible – just one part of Samsung’s promise to go the extra mile for its customers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This service adds to the existing ‘You Come To Us’ walk in support and repair service available to customers in over 40 high street Support Centres nationwide, and the ‘Remote Support’ service which customers can access digitally.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Paolo Lupi, General Manager of Samsung’s Customer Experience Transformation said: “We are delighted to announce our Doorstep service with WeFix, as we are constantly striving to achieve unique offerings through our authorised partner network. The nationwide Doorstep service has convenience, accessibility and speed at its heart, and we’re proud to help our valued customers. We’ve watched the evolution of the service grow from one van to a fleet of over 60, and we’re excited to see where it takes us next.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Aaron Brown, Managing Director of WeFix said: “WeFix delivers the ultimate in convenience, combining the highest standard of repair, completed in a timely manner at personalised locations. Working with Samsung is a great privilege. The responsibility is immense but, being totally confident in our abilities, it’s a challenge we embrace.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rated 91% by Trust Pilot for its “excellent” service, all repaired devices undertake a 125-point Heath check, using Samsung’s Galaxy Diagnostics Tool which is delivered as part of the personalised consultation. All repairs retain the existing 24-month manufacturer warranty<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a>.</p>

<p><strong>London, UK – 19 </strong><strong>December</strong><strong>, 201</strong><strong>7</strong> – <a href="http://www.samsung.com/uk/"><strong>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd</strong></a>. today announced the latest addition to the Galaxy A series: the Galaxy A8 (2018).</p>

<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong>31 July 2017 &#8211;</strong> With festival season in full swing, Samsung has announced a fully interactive, audio-visual experience that will be visiting some of the UK’s biggest music festivals this summer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building on the success of the ‘Hypercube’, which toured the UK in 2016, the 12 metre high structure will be popping up at some of the UK’s best-loved festivals until September, after kicking off at the British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park, London.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whilst some of the world’s biggest acts perform on stage, the Hypercube 360 Infinity Selfie experience allows fans to be at the heart of their very own action-packed, epic user-controlled performance, thanks to the Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When approaching the entrance to the Hypercube, at either Boardmasters, Reading Festival or Bestival, festival-goers will have the chance to immerse themselves in a Virtual Reality experience, featuring exclusive content, via the Samsung Gear VR.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Upon entering the Hypercube 360 Infinity Selfie, participants will find themselves transported into another dimension where they will be at the epi-centre of an adrenaline-fuelled moment, up to 30 festival fans at a time will be able to create their own unique 360 Infinity Selfie using Samsung devices, with individual Samsung Galaxy S8 handsets controlling different light and sound attributes inside the Hypercube. Each unique experience will be captured in 360 from a camera suspended from the roof, and will be shared with festival-goers as they exit the space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Hypercube 360 Infinity Selfie will arrive at:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Boardmasters – 9<sup>th</sup>-13<sup>th</sup> August, Cornwall</li>
<li>Reading Festival – 25<sup>th</sup>-27<sup>th</sup> August, Reading</li>
<li>Bestival – 7<sup>th</sup>-10<sup>th</sup> September, Dorset</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-750" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Samsung-Boardmasters-Still-e1501511421231.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="396" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“At Samsung we want to give everyone the chance to enjoy a brilliant summer of UK events, whether they are there in person or seeing something incredible created by their friends. Through the new Galaxy S8 and Gear 360 camera, we will give people the opportunity to create and share phenomenal personalised content through our partnerships with some of the UK’s best-loved music festivals. We will be touring some uniquely brilliant experiences, that only Samsung could produce, that ultimately make people feel differently about our brand and products” <strong>Said Sam Grant, Marketing Director at Samsung Electronics UK.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Those unlucky ones without a ticket to some of this summer’s hottest festivals can still be part of the experience, as Samsung and Royal Blood have just released an exclusive 360 video. The official 360 music video was shot live from the Infinity Room in April, for Royal Blood’s brand new single <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRHUmhdhQpQ&amp;t=11s">‘I Only Lie When I Love You’</a>.</p>
