																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-23093 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/S90F_FRONT_STAND_BeautyShot_39206-R3-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/S90F_FRONT_STAND_BeautyShot_39206-R3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/S90F_FRONT_STAND_BeautyShot_39206-R3-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/S90F_FRONT_STAND_BeautyShot_39206-R3-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Image quality has become a key deciding factor for consumers. Beyond screen size or resolution, the real difference today lies in the technology behind colour, brightness and visual fidelity – therefore, understanding these elements is crucial for identifying a high-performance television.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the most significant advancements is the Real Quantum Dot technology certification from TÜV Rheinland<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> that certain Samsung televisions are accredited with. This innovation elevates the viewing experience to a new level and differs from other solutions that use alternative layers or colour simulations. Quantum dots are ultra-fine nanomaterials, tens of thousands of times smaller than a human hair, renowned for their ability to reproduce precise and vivid colors depending on light wavelength. The method by which quantum dots are integrated into display panels has become a key indicator for evaluating technological advancement in the premium TV segment. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to achieve 100% colour volume<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, delivering brighter and more realistic images &#8211; even in scenes with high levels of brightness or contrast.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another important aspect of Real Quantum Dot technology is its contribution to the durability and safety of the television. By not using materials such as cadmium<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> &#8211; this innovation allows for more stable visual performance over time and aligns with current sustainability and environmental standards.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><img class="aligncenter wp-image-23274 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></h3>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>So, what should you consider when choosing a high-performance TV?</strong></h3>
<p>Verify that the television uses advanced technologies such as Real Quantum Dot, capable of reproducing accurate and consistent colours, even in very bright scenes. Look for equipment that offers 100% colour volume<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> , which delivers more vivid and accurate images across different types of content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Brightness stability:</strong> a Real Quamtum Dot TV maintains brightness and colour intensity without degrading. Opt for technologies that do not use elements such as cadmium<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>, which are associated with better long-term performance and current sustainability standards. Beyond resolution, consider how the image behaves under different lighting conditions and in content such as movies, sports or video games.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Choosing a television goes beyond comparing sizes or resolutions:</strong> it involves understanding how the technology behind the image works.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By considering these recommendations, you can make better decisions and enjoy a viewing experience that lasts.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Not all QLEDs are created equal. Samsung’s Real QLED has earned official certification from TÜV Rheinland<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> confirming compliance with the IEC 62595-1-6 international standard, the benchmark for authentic quantum dot (QD) displays.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Realistic And Vibrant Colours With Real Quantum Dot</strong></h3>
<p>Real Quantum Dot technology uses nanocrystals that transform light into accurate colours, achieving near-realistic reproduction. This results in more vibrant images, sharper details and an immersive experience for both movies and TV shows. Unlike technologies without the <a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-qled-tvs-earn-real-quantum-dot-display-certification-from-tuv-rheinland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">certification</a>, Samsung TVs with Real Quantum Dot maintain their image quality for longer &#8211; guaranteeing long-lasting performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Cadmium-Free<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>: Responsible Innovation</strong></h3>
<p>One of Samsung&#8217;s major differentiators is that its Real Quantum Dot technology is cadmium-free<sup>1</sup>, a heavy metal commonly used in traditional displays that poses risks to health and the environment. By removing this component, Samsung improves the safety of its products, without sacrificing quality or visual performance.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Greater Brightness &amp; Contrast For Different Types Of Content</strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/tvs/all-tvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Samsung TVs</strong></a> offer superior brightness, allowing you to enjoy clear images even in brightly lit environments. Furthermore, optimised contrast highlights details in both dark and bright scenes. This allows for a cinematic experience at home, with accurate colours and greater image depth.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the local availability of the <span><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-unveils-galaxy-s26-series-intuitive-galaxy-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy S26 series</a></span> and the <span><a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-unveils-new-galaxy-buds4-series-ultimate-sound" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy Buds4 series</a></span>. As Samsung’s third generation of AI (artificial intelligence) phones, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 deliver the most intuitive and proactive Galaxy AI<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><sup>1</sup></a> experiences yet, helping users accomplish more with fewer steps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy S26 Ultra: Where Innovation Leads</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra brings together Samsung’s most advanced innovation in a single device – powerful performance, an excellent camera system, enhanced intuitive Galaxy AI and the Samsung’s first mobile phone with a built-in Privacy Display<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><sup>2</sup></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24940 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Gen-2-Unpacked-Feb-2026_Special-Page-KV_1000x563-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Gen-2-Unpacked-Feb-2026_Special-Page-KV_1000x563-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Gen-2-Unpacked-Feb-2026_Special-Page-KV_1000x563-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Gen-2-Unpacked-Feb-2026_Special-Page-KV_1000x563-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Privacy Display, </strong>which has drawn widespread praise since its unveiling, is a breakthrough in display technology that fundamentally changes how privacy can be protected on a phone at a pixel level. Designed for everyday situations, hardware and software are working as one to protect privacy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Built for extended performance, Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers the most powerful performance on a Galaxy S series yet, powered by a customised mobile processor — <strong>Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><sup>3</sup></a></strong> — with significant gains<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><sup>4</sup></a> across the CPU, GPU and NPU<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><sup>5</sup></a> to support faster, smoother experiences that keep up throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra also features Samsung’s most intuitive and user-friendly AI experience to date. Features like <strong>Now Nudge</strong><a href="#_edn6" name="_ednref6"><sup>6</sup></a> provide proactive and relevant context-aware suggestions, while <strong>Now</strong> Brief<strong><a href="#_edn7" name="_ednref7"><sup>7</sup></a></strong> surfaces timely reminders for important events. A choice of agents<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8"><sup>8</sup></a> also helps users to complete tasks with a single button press or voice prompt.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S26 Ultra builds on Samsung’s best camera system, seamlessly integrating capture, editing and sharing into one intuitive workflow. <strong>Nightography video</strong>,<a href="#_edn9" name="_ednref9"><sup>9</sup></a> keeps footage vibrant even in low light, and <strong>Super Steady</strong>,<a href="#_edn10" name="_ednref10"><sup>10</sup></a> which comes with a new horizontal lock option for greater stability, even during dynamic movement. Editing is just as easy and straightforward. With the upgraded <strong>Photo Assist,<a href="#_edn11" name="_ednref11"><sup>11</sup></a></strong> users can refine images and express their creativity by simply describing what they want in their own words, while <strong>Creative Studio</strong><a href="#_edn12" name="_ednref12"><sup>12</sup></a> empowers users to easily turn their ideas into polished visuals — from stickers and invitations to personalised wallpapers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy Buds4 series: Superior Hi-Fi Sound with Computationally Designed Fit</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Users can enhance the capabilities of the Galaxy S26 with the new Galaxy Buds4 series which integrated Samsung’s most advanced audio and wearability innovations together in one seamless experience. The <strong>Galaxy Buds4 Pro</strong> and <strong>Buds4</strong> deliver <strong>superior hi-fi audio and everyday wearability</strong> to achieve the best listening experience across the Galaxy Buds series to date. The Buds4 series establishes a new <strong>iconic blade design</strong> with an <strong>engraved pinch control</strong><a href="#_edn13" name="_ednref13"><sup>13</sup></a> and <strong>ultra-sleek</strong> <strong>ergonomic fit</strong>. Powerful hardware and software innovations on the Buds4 Pro such as a <strong>wider woofer</strong> and an <strong>enhanced Adaptive Equaliser and Active Noise Cancellation</strong><a href="#_edn14" name="_ednref14"><sup>14</sup></a> produce rich full-spectrum sound true to the original recording. With the integration of several <strong>AI agents</strong><a href="#_edn15" name="_ednref15"><sup>15</sup></a>and <strong>intuitive hands-free controls</strong>, the Buds4 series becomes a natural companion to Galaxy S26, extending everyday experiences beyond the phone.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Display innovation has always been at the heart of <span>Samsung</span>’s television leadership, and the company is once again rewriting the rules of what a screen can offer. With the unveiling of the <strong>115-inch Micro RGB television</strong>, Samsung introduces micro-sized Red, Green, Blue (RGB) colour precision backlight<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> display of its kind, marking a bold new chapter in Samsung’s TV technology and visual performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building on the success of Samsung’s <span>Quantum Mini LED</span> technology, Micro RGB pushes the frontier even further. By harnessing microscopic red, green and blue LEDs as a direct backlight, Samsung has created a display capable of unprecedented colour precision, lifelike realism and intelligent picture processing<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>. The result is a television experience<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> that feels less like watching a screen and more like opening a window to another world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>A Breakthrough in Colour Technology</strong></h3>
<p>At the core of the new Micro RGB display is a revolutionary approach to colour reproduction. Ultra-thin RGB LEDs emit pure red, green and blue light independently. Unlike traditional TVs that rely on white backlights filtered through colour layers, Micro RGB produces colour directly from the source.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This microscopic precision allows the display to render colours with remarkable depth and accuracy while supporting nearly the entire range of colours visible to the human eye. The system also optimises sound, ensuring dialogue clarity and immersive depth that matches the vivid visuals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Three Innovations that make the Micro RGB special;</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Big Technology in Microscopic Form</strong><br />
Micro RGB technology uses microscopic red, green and blue LEDs that act as a direct backlight system. These LEDs are smaller than those used in Mini LED technology and deliver independent colour emission for richer tones, deeper contrast and the widest colour spectrum ever offered on a Samsung TV.</li>
<li><strong>Unmatched Colour Accuracy</strong><br />
The Micro RGB display achieves <strong>100% of the </strong><span>2020 colour gamut</span>, surpassing the widely used <span>DCI-P3</span> standard. Certified by VDE<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, this achievement ensures every shade appears balanced and authentic, producing images that are strikingly close to real life.</li>
<li><strong>The Power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Processing</strong><br />
Driving the experience is the <strong>Micro RGB AI Engine</strong>, powered by Samsung’s advanced chipset. Using 128 AI neural networks, the processor analyses content in real time to optimise every scene. The AI engine controls each RGB light individually to enhance colours, sharpen motion and upscale lower-resolution content to stunning 4K quality.</li>
</ul>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>A Premium Home Entertainment Experience</strong></h3>
<p>Beyond its breakthrough display technology, the Micro RGB television integrates a range of advanced features designed to elevate the home viewing experience:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Micro RGB Colour Booster Pro</strong> – AI-powered colour enhancement for richer, more vibrant visuals</li>
<li><span><strong>Dolby Atmos</strong></span> – cinematic sound powered by built-in top-channel speakers</li>
<li><strong>Glare-Free Screen<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> – comfortable viewing anytime with reduced reflections, ensuring clear, distraction-free visuals even in bright rooms</strong></li>
<li><strong>Object Tracking Sound</strong> – audio that follows the movement on screen for realistic immersion</li>
<li><strong>Q-Symphony<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> – synchronised sound between Samsung TVs and compatible soundbars</strong></li>
<li><strong>Metal SuperSlim Design</strong> – a refined, premium metal frame that complements the expansive 115-inch display</li>
<li><strong>Vision AI Companion<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> – enhanced search and voice interaction powered by <span>Bixby<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> </span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Micro RGB, Samsung demonstrates that the future of television lies not only in bigger screens but in smarter, more precise control of light and colour. By combining microscopic LED technology with advanced AI processing, the company is redefining how images are created, displayed and experienced.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Samsung continues to push the boundaries of display innovation, the Micro RGB television signals a new era where colour, intelligence and design converge to deliver the most immersive viewing experience yet.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced its latest<strong> Galaxy Buds4 Pro </strong>and <strong>Galaxy Buds4</strong>, redefining what premium earbuds can deliver in both superior hi-fi audio and everyday wearability. Built to sound as good as they feel, the Galaxy Buds4 series pairs <strong>exceptional sound quality with a more refined, computationally designed fit</strong>, bringing Samsung’s most advanced audio and wearability innovations together in one seamless experience. For the first time, Buds4 Pro features a <strong>wider woofer</strong>, combined with <strong>enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)</strong> and an <strong>enhanced Adaptive Equalizer (EQ)</strong>, to supply <strong>full-spectrum sound true to the original recording </strong>— while intelligently adapting to real-world conditions. Thoughtful design updates, intuitive hands-free controls, and deeper AI integration further underscore Samsung’s commitment to earbuds designed for how people listen, move and live throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung understands that a truly premium audio experience combines technical sound quality with how that sound feels throughout a user&#8217;s day,” said Ikhyun Cho, Corporate VP of Mobile Enhancement R&amp;D Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the Galaxy Buds4 series, our design philosophy was <strong>uncompromising, providing</strong> all-day comfort <strong>without sacrificing</strong> audio performance, because these are what consumers value most. We engineered our most powerful hi-fi audio and our most secure, ergonomic fit to enhance one another, delivering the <strong>best listening experience we’ve ever created</strong>.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Computational Design </strong><strong>Optimized for</strong><strong> Enhanced Stability and </strong><strong>All-Day </strong><strong>Comfort</strong></h3>
<p>With the Buds4 series, Samsung establishes an iconic Buds blade design identity, a computational design achieved by analyzing data from <strong>hundreds of millions of global ear data points</strong> and running <strong>over 10,000 simulations</strong>.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>1</sup></a> The Buds4 series features an <strong>ultra-sleek, ergonomic fit</strong> with smaller,<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>2</sup></a> better-fitting earbud heads to deliver a more secure, comfortable experience during all-day wear. The new stabilized blade includes a premium metal finish and an engraved pinch control<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>3</sup></a> area to help users easily locate and adjust settings. Additionally, the new transparent clamshell-type cradle makes storage and charging more intuitive and convenient — while also highlighting the refined blade design to deliver a stylish, high-quality listening experience on the go.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 offer distinct design architectures to meet different needs. Galaxy Buds4 Pro features a canal-fit design that combines ultimate sound with maximum functionality. The open-fit design of Galaxy Buds4 delivers a comfortable, user-friendly audio experience. Customers also have the option to choose from several distinct colorways, with Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 <strong>available in White and Black with a refined matte finish</strong> — as well as an <strong>online-exclusive Pink Gold </strong>for Buds4 Pro.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Superior Hi-Fi Sound With Innovative Hardware Updates</strong></h3>
<p>Larger speakers offer better sound quality, and Buds4 Pro introduces a new <strong>wider woofer</strong>, featuring a new design that makes efficient use of space. By maximizing the vibration area and minimizing thespeaker’s edge, the wider woofer increases the effective speaker area by almost 20%<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>4</sup></a> compared to the previous generation without sacrificing wearability. Combined with the <strong>tweeter</strong>, these features deliver natural, immersive audio with clean bass and rich treble that supports 24-bit/96kHz audio<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>5</sup></a> — ultimately delivering high-fidelity sound true to the original recording. These hardware enhancements capture everything from the high, resonant sounds of violins to the deep, throaty pulses of double basses — details that were difficult to reproduce in earlier generations. The two-way speaker is strategically placed on the upper side of the metal finish to maximize Active Noise Cancellation functionality while minimizing feedback from wind and other external factors.</p>

<h3><strong>Maximized Audio Experiences With Enhanced Adaptive EQ and ANC</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy Buds4 series offers software updates that build on powerful adaptive sound capabilities users have come to love in previous Buds generations. <strong>Enhanced ANC</strong> can tune out everything from heavy transit sounds to everyday background noise, ensuring an immersive audio experience that adapts to changing environments. For example, when commuting on a bus, train or airplane, Buds4’s enhanced Active Noise Cancellation reduces low-frequency engine and road noise while maintaining rich, balanced sound — allowing users to focus on music, podcasts or calls without distraction.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Enhanced Adaptive</strong> <strong>ANC/EQ</strong><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup>6</sup></a> allows for full media immersion, minimizing noise leakage by analyzing the wearing conditions and unique ear shape of each user. Alongside dynamic frequency adjustments, this feature applies optimal ANC algorithms in real time for peak noise-cancelling performance so users can enjoy fine-tuned sound experiences tailored to their individual needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When it’s time to make a phone call, <strong>Super Clear Call</strong><a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup>7</sup></a> utilizes super wideband call technology and machine learning models trained for noise reduction and voice enhancement to provide ultra-clear call quality and double the bandwidth of conventional Bluetooth calls. Whether users are cheering at a baseball game, dining in a bustling restaurant, or spending time with their children at the playground, their voice remains crisp and clear, ensuring they sound as if they were speaking face-to-face.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>An Enriched Galaxy Ecosystem Experience</strong></h3>
<p>For Galaxy users, the Buds4 series introduces integrations that enhance the Galaxy ecosystem experience. Users can initiate AI agents<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><sup>8</sup></a> — including Bixby,<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><sup>9</sup></a> Google Gemini<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><sup>10</sup></a> and Perplexity — with hands-free and voice controls, helping users stay engaged with their surroundings while maintaining control over their audio experience. Buds4 Pro allows users to access AI features without reaching for their phones, making it easier to integrate AI into their everyday routines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy ecosystem users can also enjoy simple Buds setup.<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><sup>11</sup></a> Just by opening the cradle — without having to install the Galaxy Wearable app — Galaxy users can easily connect their Buds to their phone or tablet. Through the Buds shortcut menu or in the Quick Panel, users can control and customize the volume or EQ for the optimal sound experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Buds4 Pro also includes <strong>Head Gesture</strong><a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><sup>12</sup></a> controls to manage calls and engage with Bixby, allowing users to perform subsequent actions hands-free. Along with voice commands, hands-free controls such as these allow users to navigate their day without distraction, ensuring their daily activities remain seamless and uninterrupted.</p>
