<p>Samsung South Africa is turning up the heat in the Mother City as the Galaxy Hangouts experience hits in Cape Town this September, offering fans an immersive fusion of the latest mobile phone technology, leisure experiences, and rugby greatness. Headlining this latest Cape Town tour is an exclusive opportunity for supporters to meet their city’s rugby heroes from the DHL Stormers on 12 September 2026 (12:00 to 14:00) bridging the gap between the love for rugby and next-generation innovation.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/11082711/7518-Samsung-Galaxy-Hangout_Stormers-Visit_ScreenContent-03-1000x563.jpg" alt="Samsung Galaxy Hangouts Canal Walk Invitation" class="wp-image-26123" /></figure>



<p>Adding a heavy dose of local sporting pride, the inclusion of DHL Stormers players gives Cape Town fans a rare chance to interact off the field, snap unforgettable moments, and test the limits of Galaxy AI side-by-side with rugby royalty. Whether it is using the latest Galaxy Z8 Series camera features to capture crisp, high-quality selfies with the main camera or exploring the seamless device ecosystem, visitors can experience how Samsung technology keeps fans closer to the action.</p>



<p>When visiting the Galaxy Hangout at Canal Walk on Saturday, 12 September, attendees will also have a chance to win exclusive prizes. For example, when you complete the product experience journey, you’ll stand a chance to win 1 of 2 signed DHL Stormers Jerseys<sup data-fn="ae3232a9-c916-4367-92f3-96e6c136fedc" class="fn"><a href="#ae3232a9-c916-4367-92f3-96e6c136fedc" id="ae3232a9-c916-4367-92f3-96e6c136fedc-link">1</a></sup>.</p>



<p>Rae Hargreaves, the Head of Marketing of MX at Samsung South Africa says “South Africans know the hustle. We know the places we gather, the people we meet there and the moments that become stories we keep coming back to. The Galaxy Hangout brings those familiar rhythms of everyday life into an immersive experience built around the three distinct Galaxy Z8 Series form factors. Rather than asking visitors to compare specifications, Samsung invites them to discover where they belong to ultimately discover foldable belongs with them.”</p>



<p>The calendar of Samsung Galaxy Hangout stops in the Mother City’s favourite hangout spots this September is a follows:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Canal Walk – <strong>12 September</strong></li>



<li>Route Mall<strong> – 24- 27 September</strong></li>



<li>V&A Silo District <strong>– 16-17 September</strong></li>



<li>The Heritage Music Festival at Groote Schuur High School<strong> – 19 September</strong></li>



<li>Go Bright or go Home Picnic at The Castle of Good Hope<strong> – 26 September</strong></li>



<li>Down to Earth Market <strong>–</strong> <strong>30 September</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Step aboard the Galaxy Hangouts Bus and the experience unfolds across three distinct spaces, each inspired by a different foldable, its signature colour and the lifestyle persona it represents. Visitors can expect hands-on interactions, giving them the chance to see how the devices naturally fit into the way they live, work, create and connect.</p>



<p>The spaces are tailored to allow visitors to explore and see which Galaxy foldable best matches their persona, and each space offers a different glimpse into the possibilities of the Galaxy Z8 series.</p>



<p>And there will be plenty of opportunities to make the experience your own. Visitors can capture content, create moments with friends and put the foldables into action in ways that feel less like a product demonstration and more like a day out.</p>



<p>Whether you are a die-hard rugby supporter, a fan of the Samsung Galaxy Z8 Series, or just searching for a fun group activity on these dates, these hangouts are definitely worth a visit. The core concept behind the Galaxy Hangout is straightforward: there is a Galaxy foldable designed for every type of user.</p>



<p>So, grab your crew, bring your curiosity and come find out which Galaxy foldable is your kind of foldable. Whether you’re all about getting things done, creating and expressing yourself, or immersing yourself in the things you love, the Samsung Galaxy Z8 Series Hangout awaits.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced that it is expanding its flat design, previously available on select premium models, to its new 24-inch front-load washer line-up. The new models are currently on display at Samsung Connect, Samsung’s exhibition being held during Innovation For All (IFA) 2026 from 02 – 06 Sept; offering visitors an early look ahead of the official launch.<sup data-fn="66ea2bb1-d38f-4a29-a139-b8c0c5a28de4" class="fn"><a href="#66ea2bb1-d38f-4a29-a139-b8c0c5a28de4" id="66ea2bb1-d38f-4a29-a139-b8c0c5a28de4-link">1</a></sup></p>



<p>“Customers around the world increasingly expect home appliances to harmonise with their living environments,” said Vice President and Head of the Customer Experience Team of the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “By bringing our flat design to a wider range of laundry appliances, Samsung aims to deliver a consistent design experience that combines refined aesthetics with thoughtful usability.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Refined Flat Design Improves Interior Fit & Usability</strong></h2>



<p>Samsung’s expansion of its signature flat design to the new 24-inch front-load washer line-up marks the latest evolution of the company’s design approach across its home appliance portfolio. Compared to Samsung’s previous designs that featured more protruding front elements, the updated design offers a flat front surface with a more uniform appearance. This creates a cleaner, more sophisticated look that blends naturally into modern interiors and living environments.</p>



<p>Beyond aesthetics, the design also enhances everyday usability. The large door with a wide opening angle enables easier access when loading and unloading laundry, making the task more convenient. More broadly, the new line-up and the showcase during IFA reflect Samsung’s continued efforts to expand refined design experiences to more consumers and living spaces.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Features Designed for Everyday Laundry Needs</strong><strong></strong></h2>



<p>In addition to the redesigned exterior, the new line-up incorporates key laundry technologies previously available on select premium models, bringing advanced washing experiences to more consumers.

<p>In line with the age-old proverb “Clothes make the man”, these items have become more than everyday essentials – from favourite outfits and premium fashion pieces to workwear and school uniforms. As consumers increasingly look for ways to make their clothing last longer without compromising on cleanliness, Samsung and OMO have once again partnered to deliver a smarter approach to laundry care.</p>



<p>Samsung’s EcoBubble<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;" /> technology<sup data-fn="929af3fd-388f-4493-8d36-ce7a83d44324" class="fn"><a href="#929af3fd-388f-4493-8d36-ce7a83d44324" id="929af3fd-388f-4493-8d36-ce7a83d44324-link">1</a></sup> and OMO’s stain removal formula complement each other, delivering exceptional cleaning performance while treating fabrics with the care they deserve.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/08101714/Image-of-Bespoke-AI-Laundry-Combo-1000x563.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26065" /></figure>



<p>This technology transforms detergent into bubbles before the wash cycle begins, allowing the detergent to penetrate fabrics easily and clean effectively, even at lower water temperatures. This enables powerful stain removal while helping to minimise unnecessary stress on fabrics<sup data-fn="dddeae46-0fad-47d2-b3ea-e758a1ba056d" class="fn"><a href="#dddeae46-0fad-47d2-b3ea-e758a1ba056d" id="dddeae46-0fad-47d2-b3ea-e758a1ba056d-link">2</a></sup>.</p>



<p>Complementing this innovation is OMO’s Ecoboost technology, which gives breakthrough cleaning performance. Penetrating deep into the fibres of clothes to remove the toughest of stains.</p>



<p>As wardrobes continue to evolve into long-term investments, smarter laundry habits are becoming just as important as the clothes themselves. Repeated harsh washing can contribute to unnecessary fabric wear, shortening the lifespan of garments and increasing replacement costs. Choosing the right washing technology and detergent helps reduce this wear, keeping favourite clothing items looking newer for longer.</p>



<p>The Wash Days Powered by OMO campaign celebrates this shared commitment to smarter fabric care. By combining Samsung’s intelligent laundry innovation with OMO’s trusted cleaning expertise, consumers no longer need to choose between exceptional stain removal and gentle garment care.</p>

<p>It’s the perfect opportunity to reflect on the small comforts that help make mornings, busy workdays and quiet evenings at home feel a little more enjoyable. Among those comforts is something many homeowners may not think about often, precisely because it works effortlessly in the background.</p>



<p>The Samsung Bespoke AI WindFree Air Conditioner was designed around a simple idea: the best comfort is often the kind you barely notice.</p>



<p>In modern homes, comfort means more than simply cooling a room. Today, living spaces have become offices, classrooms, entertainment hubs and places where families reconnect after long days. As a result, many people are seeking solutions that create comfort without adding distractions.</p>



<p>Samsung Bespoke AI WindFree has low-noise<sup data-fn="40640435-02ed-4a79-9966-4ada05a1b9ac" class="fn"><a href="#40640435-02ed-4a79-9966-4ada05a1b9ac" id="40640435-02ed-4a79-9966-4ada05a1b9ac-link">1</a></sup> operation and works quietly in the background, creating a comfortable indoor environment without competing for attention. It means conversations can flow naturally. Movies can be enjoyed without background noise interfering. Early mornings can feel peaceful. Bedtime routines can remain undisturbed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Supporting Focus in the Modern Home</strong></h2>



<p>Hybrid and remote working have transformed how people use their homes. Kitchen tables become offices, spare rooms become study spaces, and living rooms host important online meetings.</p>



<p>Whether studying for exams, working on creative projects or simply taking a few moments for mindfulness and reflection, users can enjoy a calmer and comfortable environment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Comfort That Learns and Adapts</strong></h2>



<p>Comfort becomes even more valuable when it requires less effort. Samsung’s AI Comfort Cooling<sup data-fn="64621c12-d5c2-4a14-b371-e8c351e93785" class="fn"><a href="#64621c12-d5c2-4a14-b371-e8c351e93785" id="64621c12-d5c2-4a14-b371-e8c351e93785-link">2</a></sup> feature intelligently adjusts temperature settings based on room conditions and usage patterns. Over time, the system learns preferences and automatically adapts to create a consistently comfortable environment.</p>



<p>Rather than constantly reaching for a remote control or adjusting settings throughout the day, homeowners can enjoy a more seamless experience. As room conditions change, AI Comfort Cooling works behind the scenes to maintain ideal conditions, helping users stay focused on what matters most.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Designed with Efficiency in Mind</strong></h2>



<p>Comfort and energy efficiency increasingly go hand in hand for modern households. Samsung Bespoke AI WindFree incorporates Digital Inverter Boost technology, which helps deliver powerful performance while reducing energy consumption and operational noise.</p>



<p>The technology can reduce energy use by up to 77%<sup data-fn="ac1b5db2-8b27-4b50-bdc9-01a1e2520f6b" class="fn"><a href="#ac1b5db2-8b27-4b50-bdc9-01a1e2520f6b" id="ac1b5db2-8b27-4b50-bdc9-01a1e2520f6b-link">3</a></sup>, helping households stay comfortable as the days get warmer while managing electricity costs more effectively. For families navigating rising energy expenses, this balance between performance and efficiency offers valuable peace of mind.</p>

<p>Laundry is one of those household chores that has to get done. But in today’s connected home, it doesn’t have to demand constant attention or guesswork. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), smart connectivity and innovative detergent technology, laundry is becoming a simpler, more intuitive experience that works around modern lifestyles.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/07124049/Wash-Days-16x9-pixels2-1000x563.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26056" /></figure>



<p>Samsung’s Bespoke AI laundry range is designed to make washing clothes more intelligent, efficient and personalised. Instead of relying on users to choose the ideal settings, Samsung’s AI-powered washing machines automatically analyse each load and optimise washing conditions to deliver outstanding cleaning results while helping to reduce unnecessary water, energy and detergent usage.</p>



<p>The result is a laundry experience where technology quietly works behind the scenes, allowing consumers to spend less time thinking about laundry and more time doing what they enjoy.</p>



<p>Samsung’s intelligent washing technology becomes even more powerful when connected through SmartThing<sup data-fn="26e8dc44-7815-4013-b9e7-9de367f33ce9" class="fn"><a href="#26e8dc44-7815-4013-b9e7-9de367f33ce9" id="26e8dc44-7815-4013-b9e7-9de367f33ce9-link">1</a></sup>. Whether at work, running errands or relaxing at home, users can monitor, control and manage their washing machine remotely using their compatible Galaxy smartphone. From receiving cycle notifications to adjusting wash programmes and tracking energy usage, SmartThings transforms laundry into a connected experience that fits naturally into busy everyday routines.</p>



<p>Rather than interrupting daily life, laundry becomes another task that simply happens in the background, supported by intelligent technology that keeps users connected wherever they are.</p>



<p>Partnering with OMO further enhances this experience. OMO’s concentrated formula is designed to deliver exceptional stain removal while using optimised amounts of detergent, complementing Samsung’s intelligent wash cycles that carefully adapt to every load. Together, the appliance and detergent create a smarter system in which every component works in harmony to deliver excellent cleaning performance while supporting more efficient use of resources.</p>



<p>Through innovations like Bespoke AI and SmartThings, Samsung is creating a connected ecosystem where everyday appliances communicate intelligently, anticipate user needs and simplify household management. The laundry room becomes another example of how AI can deliver meaningful convenience, quietly improving everyday experiences without adding extra effort.</p>

<p>Few moments bring South Africans together quite like rugby. From neighbourhood braais and packed living rooms to friends and family following every tackle wherever they are, the rugby season has a unique way of turning ordinary weekends into memorable shared experiences.</p>



<p>This rugby season, Samsung is helping fans elevate match day at home with its Blue Tag Sale, featuring exceptional offers across selected Mobile, Home Entertainment, Monitor and Home Appliance products.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="707" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/04170745/ZAS26076376_BTS_CE_L-no-logo-1-1000x707.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26050" /></figure>



<p>Whether it’s watching every line break unfold on a supersized screen, hearing the roar of the crowd through powerful sound or keeping up with the conversation across connected Galaxy devices, Samsung technology is designed to bring supporters closer to every moment of the action.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bring the Stadium Atmosphere Home</strong></h2>



<p>For supporters looking to upgrade their match-day experience, Samsung’s range of Vision AI TVs combines great picture quality with smart viewing technology<sup data-fn="8eed6042-44cd-4a65-bbf2-60887aaa1a73" class="fn"><a href="#8eed6042-44cd-4a65-bbf2-60887aaa1a73" id="8eed6042-44cd-4a65-bbf2-60887aaa1a73-link">1</a></sup>, bringing everything from the intensity on players’ faces to the movement across the pitch into vivid focus. Paired with a Samsung Soundbar, the experience becomes even more immersive, delivering rich, room-filling audio that brings the whistles, anthems and roar of the crowd into the heart of the home.</p>



<p>The right technology can transform how fans experience the game. Larger screens bring greater detail to every try, tackle and replay, while powerful sound helps recreate the energy and atmosphere of being closer to the stadium.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Stay Connected to Every Moment</strong></h2>



<p>Match day is about more than the 80 minutes on the field. Samsung’s connected ecosystem helps fans stay part of the experience before, during and after the game. Supporters can catch pre-match analysis on a Galaxy Tab, keep an eye on match-day content from the Bespoke AI Family Hub while preparing snacks in the kitchen, settle in front of a Samsung Vision AI TV for kick-off, and capture and share their favourite reactions and celebrations on a Galaxy smartphone.</p>



<p>With Samsung’s connected ecosystem working seamlessly across devices, fans can spend less time thinking about the technology and more time enjoying the game and the people they share it with.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter brings more than just the chills. It often sparks the all-too-familiar home ritual of the thermostat tug-of-war. Whether it’s a frosty morning or a warmer evening or somewhere in between, Samsung air conditioners assist in ensuring that comfort never becomes a compromise by providing reliable heating, creating a cozy environment for the whole family.</p>
<p>With smart technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven features, and seamless connectivity through Samsung SmartThings <a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> , Samsung Air Conditioners introduce a new kind of winter comfort. One that quietly balances varying preferences in the home, without the daily negotiation, because comfort should be designed.</p>
<p>Samsung air conditioners are designed to bring year-round comfort, providing warmth and relaxation for the whole family. Enriching the experience is the SmartThings app, which lets users control their home temperature remotely. Whether it’s warming the house before the school run ends, on the home commute, or fine-tuning comfort without leaving the bed, the system helps remove the small frictions that add up over winter.</p>

<h3><strong>Warmth That Moves Through Your Space </strong></h3>
<p>Samsung WindFree <a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> technology transforms how warmth travels through a space. Instead of creating pockets of heat and cold, it distributes air evenly, wrapping the room in warm comfort.</p>
<p>There’s no longer a “prime spot” on the couch. No more moving between rooms in search of the perfect temperature. From the living room to the home office corner, warmth settles in, reaching every room without overwhelming the space.</p>
<h3><strong>Smart Motion Detect Sensor</strong></h3>
<p>Winter comfort should feel intuitive, and with motion detection technology<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> , Samsung WindFree systems respond to presence in real time.</p>
<p>Rooms that are empty are not unnecessarily heated, until someone enters. It’s a subtle choreography between movement and temperature, helping users reduce energy consumption while keeping the experience seamless. The house begins to feel less like a system to manage and more like an environment that understands.</p>
<h3><strong>AI Comfort Zones for Everyday Life               </strong></h3>
<p>Every household is a mixture of preferences. Parents may prefer a warmer bedroom, while teens lean toward cooler sleeping conditions. Shared spaces demand balance, while private spaces call for individuality.</p>
<p>Samsung’s AI-powered comfort zones learn these patterns over time. The system quietly builds a map of preferences, adjusting temperatures across rooms to suit different needs without constant input. The lounge remains cosy for family time, while bedrooms adapt to individual comfort, thus taking away the need to constantly adjust, negotiate, or compromise.</p>
<p>More than just heating, Samsung’s air conditioners are about removing friction from everyday living. It is about turning a shared space into a balanced one, where comfort is consistent, effortless, and inclusive.</p>
<p>By combining intelligent airflow, adaptive learning, and connected control, Samsung is redefining what winter comfort can feel like.</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span><sup style="font-size: small">[1]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small"> The SmartThings App is available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required.</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span><sup style="font-size: small">[2]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small"> In accordance with the definition of ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers), still air is an air flow moving at a speed of 0.15 m/s or slower, without creating cold drafts.</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3"><span><sup style="font-size: small">[3]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small"> The Motion Detect Sensor detects movement. Normal option (Default): +20 minutes (WindFreeTM) / +40 minutes (WindFreeTM +20C) / +40 minutes (WindFreeTM +40C or Soft Off).</span></p>
