									<description><![CDATA[  Samsung is bringing intelligent innovation and premium mobile experiences to more users with the recently launched Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G. As]]></description>
																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-25536 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/GalaxyA5737-Awesome.-e1782303036799.jpg" alt="" width="932" height="524" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung is bringing intelligent innovation and premium mobile experiences to more users with the recently launched Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G. As smartphones become increasingly central to how people create, connect, work and play, Samsung continues to make meaningful innovation more accessible, delivering powerful performance and advanced camera experiences. Samsung is continuing its mission to democratise innovation by bringing some of the most-loved Galaxy S series experiences to more people.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Galaxy A series devices are designed for people who want smarter, more intuitive mobile experiences without stepping into ultra-premium price territory. Whether it is managing busy schedules, creating social content, staying organised, or protecting personal memories, the Galaxy A57 and A37 make advanced mobile technology feel accessible, useful, and seamlessly woven into everyday life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the heart of this shift is Samsung’s approach to making flagship  features part of the mainstream smartphone experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imagine sitting in a lecture, a brainstorming session, or a family meeting where ideas are flying across the room faster than fingers can type. With Voice Transcription, users can record conversations and convert speech into text in real time, helping students capture notes effortlessly, young professionals keep track of meetings, or content creators quickly turn ideas into captions and scripts. It transforms the smartphone into a practical productivity companion that works quietly in the background while life moves at full speed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Photography and content creation have also become more intuitive with Object Eraser<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>. Everyday moments are rarely picture-perfect on the first try. A stranger photobombing an exquisite sunset photo, an unwanted sign in a travel snap, or clutter distracting from a carefully styled outfit can all be removed with a few taps. What once required advanced editing apps or desktop software can now happen directly on-device, giving users the freedom to create cleaner, more polished content instantly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Then there is Circle to Search<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> with Google, a feature that feels almost futuristic in its simplicity. Users can simply circle an object, phrase, or image on their screen to instantly learn more about it without switching between apps. Spot a pair of sneakers you like on social media? Circle them to search. Watching a recipe video and curious about an ingredient? Circle it. It reduces the space between curiosity and discovery, making information feel more immediate and naturally integrated into how people already use their phones.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has also introduced upgraded Bixby<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> into the Galaxy A series experience, creating a more conversational and intelligent way to interact with your device. Instead of navigating endless menus, users can simply ask Bixby to set reminders, search for photos, manage schedules, or help control connected devices. In busy households, during commutes, or while multitasking through a packed day, it becomes a digital assistant that simplifies small but meaningful daily interactions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Privacy, too, is becoming increasingly important in a world where smartphones carry deeply personal memories and sensitive information. Private Album offers users an added layer of security for photos and videos they want to keep separate from their main gallery. Whether it is important documents, family moments, creative projects, or personal memories, users have more control over what stays visible and what stays private.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What makes the Galaxy A57 and A37 particularly significant is not just the inclusion of these features, but what they represent. Samsung is narrowing the gap between flagship and mid-range experiences, ensuring that more users can enjoy intelligent, AI-powered mobile technology regardless of budget.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For many consumers, smartphones are now long-term lifestyle investments. People want devices that can keep pace with work, entertainment, creativity, and communication without compromise. By introducing premium-inspired functionality into the Galaxy A series, Samsung is reshaping expectations around what accessible smartphones should be capable of delivering.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The result is a mobile experience that feels smarter, more personal, and more empowering. One where innovation is no longer reserved for a select few, but designed to fit naturally into the lives of everyday users across South Africa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a> Results may vary depending on shooting conditions including multiple subjects, being out of focus or moving subjects.</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span>[2]</span></a> Circle to Search is a trademark of Google LLC. Results for illustrative purposes only. Available on select devices and internet connection required. Works on compatible apps and surfaces. Result may vary depending on visual matches. Check responses for accuracy.</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3"><span>[3]</span></a> Bixby service availability requires Samsung Account login and data connection. Available functions and features may vary by country, region and language. Bixby only recognises certain accents and dialects of English (UK), English (US), English (India), French (France), German (Germany), Italian (Italy), Japanese (Japan), Korean (South Korea), Mandarin Chinese (China), Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Spain) and Spanish (Latin America). Other supported languages may be added in the future. Not all accents, dialects and expressions may be recognised, and actual performance may vary depending on pronunciation, voice level and the surrounding environment. Use of Bixby may be limited in certain situations such as when recording media (Video/Game/Voice), during calls, Maximum Power Saving mode, Emergency mode and Samsung Kids. Service availability may vary by country/service provider/language/device model/OS version. Bixby controls selected apps, other apps to be supported. To control SmartThings enabled devices with Bixby, first connect the devices to the SmartThings app. For more information, visit the SmartThings website (www.samsung.com/smartthings).</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. recently unveiled the new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, the latest editions of its popular Galaxy A series, bringing powerful mobile AI (artificial intelligence) innovations and enriched Awesome Intelligence to more users around the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Designed to make everyday experiences simpler, smarter, and more intuitive, the new Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G reflect Samsung’s ongoing commitment to democratising artificial intelligence. By expanding AI capabilities across more accessible devices, Samsung continues to empower users to do more with the technology in their hands, from capturing meaningful moments to enhancing everyday productivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of celebrating the launch locally, Samsung South Africa is turning the spotlight on one of the devices’ standout features: the powerful camera, with which you’ll never miss the shot<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>. In collaboration with one of Mzansi’s leading film production companies, Samsung has produced a dynamic new film that captures how South Africans are using AI-powered photography to tell their stories in fresh, expressive ways.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25502 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076136_Galaxy-A57-soccer-Landscape-Without-logo-e1781862782938.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Directed by rising creative talent Lindo Langa, the film explores the beauty of everyday moments through a uniquely cinematic lens. It opens on striking frozen tableaus, moments suspended in time just before they are captured. As the scenes come to life, the pace accelerates into vivid motion, revealing the energy, creativity and authenticity of South African youth culture. The film features a cast of content creators from the Galaxy A series family, including Dee Koala (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dee_koala/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@deekoala021</a>), Sine Madondo (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sine_madondo/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@sine._madondo</a>), Coachella Randy (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/coachella.randy/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@coachella.randy</a>) and Jaedin Rhodes (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jaedi_nrhodes/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@jaedinrhodes10</a>), each doing what they do best to demonstrate the impressive capabilities of the devices’ AI-powered cameras<span>.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25501 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076136_Galaxy-A57-Party-Scene-landscape-Without-logo-e1781862682383.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The AI Camera behind the Galaxy A57 and A37 really is a powerful tool that empowers me to bring the world I imagine into reality. The idea of Awesome being for everyone is exemplified through the film&#8217;s sense of unification behind the various devices we see through the story. Everyone in the piece is either a real person in the context of their scenes or an influencer expressing a truth of their life, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 sit comfortably in their hands as they express these truths. Awesome is indeed for everyone in this film because the Awesomeness that binds us is the device in all our hands,” said Lindo Langa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The film serves as both a celebration of innovation and a tribute to the diverse, creative spirit of South Africa, demonstrating how technology can amplify real stories and everyday expression.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G showcase how AI-powered camera technology can transform everyday moments into compelling visual stories, giving users the tools to capture life as it unfolds, or as they imagine it.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung’s latest Galaxy A series marks a bold step into the AI-powered mobile future. With the introduction of the Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy A36 5G, Samsung is bringing what it calls “Awesome Intelligence” directly to users’ fingertips. These new models offer futuristic features designed for everyday use &#8211; making advanced AI experiences more accessible than ever before.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What Samsung has done with these devices is make AI accessible — not as a gimmick, but as a true daily companion. Whether it’s discovering something cool online, cleaning up your pics, or getting the perfect snap on the first try, <strong>Awesome Intelligence is all about helping you do more, better, and faster.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These devices aren’t just about better specs — they’re about <em>smarter experiences</em>. Here’s a look at three AI-powered features changing the way you interact with your phone daily.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Circle to Search: When Curiosity Strikes, You’re Covered</strong></h3>
<p>We’ve all been there. You&#8217;re scrolling Instagram or TikTok, and someone’s wearing an outfit you love or using a gadget you need in your life. But there&#8217;s no tag, no caption, no clue.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Circle to Search</strong> is one of the most powerful and practical AI tools on the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G. Just press and hold the home button, circle what you’re curious about &#8211; a shoe, a landmark, a makeup product — and boom, instant Google-powered search results, right on your screen. Or say you spot a streetwear hoodie you like as you’re scrolling through your newsfeed. Instead of playing detective, you ‘Circle to Search’ it and get links related to the item online — all without leaving the app. Less switching, more discovering.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-23155 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Galaxy-A56_A36_CXP-Film_15-sec_Circle-to-Search_16x9_Thumbnail-e1753084829146.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is not just next-gen browsing. This is instant, intuitive discovery built into your daily scrolling.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Object Eraser: Fix Your Photos in a Tap</strong></h3>
<p>Let’s be honest — the perfect shot is often ruined by someone walking into frame at the wrong time or a random object in the background. In the past, that meant either retaking the photo (if possible), using a third-party app, or just learning to live with it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With <strong>Object Eraser</strong>, those days are gone. Tap on the unwanted element in your photo — maybe it’s a photo bomber, a random shadow, or a messy pile of stuff in the background. The AI does the rest, removing the distraction and blending the image naturally.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-23157 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Galaxy-A56-5G_Feature-Visual_Object-Eraser_1P_H_CMYK.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="657" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Galaxy-A56-5G_Feature-Visual_Object-Eraser_1P_H_CMYK.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Galaxy-A56-5G_Feature-Visual_Object-Eraser_1P_H_CMYK-857x563.jpg 857w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Galaxy-A56-5G_Feature-Visual_Object-Eraser_1P_H_CMYK-768x505.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You’re snapping a photo at the beach. It’s an epic time out, your outfit’s fire, but there’s a stranger walking their dog in the background. One tap with Object Eraser and it’s like they were never there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Object Eraser makes every shot Insta-worthy — no filters, no stress.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Enhanced Camera AI: Bring Out Your Creativity</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G come equipped with <strong>a 50MP main lens</strong>, a<strong> 10-bit HDR selfie camera</strong>, and in the case of the A56 5G, an <strong>ultra-wide 12MP lens</strong> and enhanced <strong>Nightography</strong> — but it’s the AI doing the behind-the-scenes magic that levels up every shot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI isn’t just helping take photos — it’s helping you take <em>better</em> ones by a<strong>utomatically adjusting lighting and contrast</strong> to suit your scene, <strong>recognising different subjects</strong> (like people, pets, or food) and optimising settings on the fly, and s<strong>moothing low-light noise</strong> for cleaner night shots.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you’re out for a night with friends, and the lighting in the club is, well, not ideal, there’s no need to panic because there’s a solve. But with AI-enhanced Nightography and selfie optimisation, your photos come out looking sharp, balanced, and ready to post. No edits needed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And for the group shots, the Galaxy A56 5G offers <strong>Best Face</strong> — a clever AI tool that lets you select the best expressions from a burst of photos and merge them. No more “let’s take one more” because someone blinked or looked away.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-23156 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Galaxy-A56_CXP-Film_15-sec_Selfie-with-Best-Face_16x9_Thumbnail-e1753088936661.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the best parts is that you’re getting all this in stylish, powerful devices with immersive Super AMOLED displays, long-lasting 5000mAh batteries, and fast, reliable 5G connectivity — all wrapped in a design that’s built to last with <strong>IP67 water and dust resistance</strong>.</p>

&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd has announced the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ &#8211; offering new entry points to the Galaxy ecosystem on a premium tablet design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Equipped with the largest screen yet on the Galaxy Tab FE series and slimmer bezels that expand its display, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ provides a fun, immersive viewing experience for everything from entertainment to studying and day-to-day tasks. Samsung’s Intelligent Features empower users to get more done with ease, while a slimmer design helps users to achieve their creativity and productivity on the go.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The new Galaxy Tab S10 FE series brings advanced mobile AI experience and Samsung’s connected ecosystem to even more tablet users, while still offering cutting-edge performance and design,” said Changtae Kim, EVP &amp; Head of New Computing R&amp;D Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’re confident that the slim bezels and expansive displays, in addition to a whole host of functional improvements, will inspire people to do more, create more and discover more.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Stunning Clarity on a Bigger, Vibrant Display</strong></h3>
<p>Combining the Galaxy Tab S series’ heritage design with slim bezels, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ 13.1-inch display<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><sup>1</sup></a> offers immersive entertainment on a screen that’s almost 12% larger than the previous FE+. Smooth visuals enabled by a 90Hz refresh rate and new levels of visibility up to 800 nits HBM on the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series ensure an optimal viewing experience when watching videos and gaming. Vision Booster’s automatic adjustments enhance brightness and visibility even in ever-changing outdoor environments while blue-light emissions are safely reduced to minimise eye strain, meeting every unique viewing need.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Robust Performance in a Portable Design</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy Tab S10 FE series boosts productivity when working or studying and delivers fast, smooth gameplay without interruption. Performance upgrades enable the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series to help users switch effortlessly between multiple apps when they are being creative, allowing for improved multi-tasking. And when capturing everyday moments in the classroom or in workspaces, a newly upgraded 13MP high resolution rear camera produces clear and vivid photos.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These versatile experiences, from powerful work to seamless play, accompany users everywhere they go. Now more than 4% lighter than its predecessor, Galaxy Tab S10 FE is even easier to carry around, while the Galaxy S10 Tab FE series offers hassle-free storage and mobility at home, on campus, in the workplace and elsewhere with its slim design. Engineered for resilience and durability to withstand the elements, the FE series also comes with the same IP68 rating as the newest Galaxy Tab S10 series.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics unveiled the latest additions to the Galaxy A series at Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona. The Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G mark the first time the Galaxy A series has come equipped with Awesome Intelligence, making them smarter and more appealing than ever — a true embodiment of the Galaxy A series’ commitment to bringing innovative Galaxy experiences to everyone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom explored the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G, highlighting four key elements that set them apart.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>1. Stylish — A Sleek and Compact Design</strong></h3>
<h4><strong>The Iconic Galaxy A Series Look, Now More Refined</strong></h4>
<p>The Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G take the signature design of the Galaxy A series to the next level, blending modern sophistication with a sleek aesthetic. The first thing that catches the eye is their slim, flat frame.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy A56 5G features a polished metal frame, available in a range of stylish colours. The A56 5G’s colourways stand out with their milky matte finish, while the A36 5G’s colour options captivate with their holographic effects.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Their minimalist yet elegant rear design features a clean, vertically aligned three-lens camera layout with black camera rings that further enhance the refined aesthetic.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>A Slimmer and Lighter Body</strong></h4>
<p>Both the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G feature a 6.7-inch screen, 0.1 inch larger than that of their predecessors. The FHD+ Super AMOLED display delivers a peak brightness of 1,200 nits — 200 nits brighter than before — ensuring an even more immersive and vivid viewing experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Trimmed down by 0.8mm compared to their predecessors, both models also sport a slimmer profile at just 7.4mm thick, offering a firm yet comfortable grip when held. The flat key island design on the sides complement the streamlined aesthetic, adding to the devices’ refined look.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to their slimmer design, both devices are also lighter than the previous models, despite having larger displays. The Galaxy A56 5G weighs 198g — 15g lighter than its predecessor, while the Galaxy A36 5G shed 14g to come in at 195g.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>2. Versatile and Intelligent — Fueled by Awesome Intelligence</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Searching Made Simple With Circle to Search</strong></p>
<p>Circle to Search makes finding information effortless. All users need to do is long press the home button , then draw a circle around anything interesting they see on their screen and watch in awe as Google provides relevant search results in an instant.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And it’s not just for images! Circle to Search now recognises music as well — for example, the background music playing in a video. When watching something on YouTube, simply long press the home button. Then tap the music button to instantly find the name of the song featured in the video and the artist who sings it. That same song can be identified even when sung or hummed by a person, instead of being played from the video’s original audio.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pX30WLlefe0?si=pnkrKOjkkG9474XS" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>3. Picture-Perfect — Smarter Camera Features and Photo-Editing Tools</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Nightography and Object Eraser — Flawless Selfies Even at Night</strong></p>
<p>Imagine taking in the atmosphere during a nighttime walk and snapping a selfie, only to be disappointed by the noise in the final image. Or perhaps a scenario where a countless number of selfies had to be taken before realising none of them quite achieved the right look. With the enhanced Nightography feature on the Galaxy A56 5G, those frustrations are a thing of the past. Clear, vibrant selfies can be captured even at night with a 12MP front camera optimised to reduce noise and deliver smoother results.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unwanted objects in the background can take away from the perfect selfie as well. Simply trace around those objects to remove them, and Object Eraser will seamlessly fill in the space where they originally were to blend naturally with the background, resulting in a clean, crisp photo.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_21949" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-21949 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main5-Final-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="700" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main5-Final-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main5-Final-1-804x563.jpg 804w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main5-Final-1-768x538.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Clear, vibrant selfies can be taken even at night with Nightography.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Custom Camera Filters for Standout Selfies</strong></p>
<p>Some portrait photos on social media just have that one vibe, an unmistakable look hard to find anywhere else. Instead of scrolling past those images, why not save them? With the Filters feature, users can easily create their own custom camera filters using saved images. Achieving the perfect selfie with the desired aesthetic has never been easier.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Best Face — Perfect Group Photos Everyone Will Love</strong></p>
<p>Group selfies don’t always go as planned — someone could be blinking or have an awkward expression on their face. But with the Best Face feature, those slip-ups are an easy fix. Best Face analyses the multiple frames of pictures taken using Motion Photo to recommend the best ones. All that is left for Galaxy A56 5G users to do afterwards is simply browse through the suggested frames and select a flawless group selfie where everyone looks their best.</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<h3><strong>4. Powerful and Secure — Enhanced Privacy Safeguards</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G are the first in the Galaxy A series to feature One UI 7, offering more robust security than ever before. One key highlight is the hardware-backed Knox Vault, which combines a secure processor with secure memory to isolate users’ most sensitive data — like personal identification numbers (PINs) and passwords — from the rest of their device and ensure that no one else can physically or remotely access them. The new smartphones also come equipped with a range of extensive security innovations, including an enhanced Auto Blocker — Galaxy’s opt-in package of security measures that prevents unauthorised app installations and other security threats — and the new Theft Protection feature, which ensures personal data is protected even when devices are lost or stolen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung also promises six years of security updates along with up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades for the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G, ensuring a secure and reliable mobile experience for years to come.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy A series is back with cutting-edge innovations. With the Awesome Intelligence-integrated Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G, Samsung looks forward to seeing even more people enjoy an Awesome lifestyle.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the local availability of the new Galaxy S25 series. Together with One UI 7, Gemini is officially available at launch in 46 languages,<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> making it easier than ever to perform seamless interactions across Samsung and Google apps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-21661 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/DSCF2253-e1741000043180.jpg" alt="" width="3000" height="2000" /><br />
“The Galaxy S25 series is a fundamental shift in how we interact with our phones,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are thrilled to see how our users will enjoy this true AI companion that offers seamless and intuitive solutions in their daily lives.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the Galaxy S25 series, AI agents with multimodal capabilities are integrated within the <strong>One UI 7<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> platform to perform complex tasks seamlessly across apps and enable natural user interactions through speech, text, videos and images. <strong>Now Brief<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> provides tailored suggestions to guide through the day and <strong>Now Bar<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> offers a new hub for ongoing activities.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Interactions with the Galaxy S25 series are also more intuitive. With just a single command, <strong>Gemini<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> can effortlessly find a user’s favourite sports team’s schedule and add it to Samsung Calendar. Additionally, Google’s enhanced <strong>Circle to Search<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a> now gives users more helpful information with AI Overviews and one-tap actions.</strong></strong></p>

<p>The Galaxy S25 series further refines and enhances the core capabilities that define the Galaxy experience. Powering the Galaxy S25 series globally, the <strong>Snapdragon</strong><sup>®</sup><strong> 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy </strong>fuels on-device processing for more responsive AI experiences. With unique customisations for Galaxy, including <strong>ProScaler<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[9]</sup></span></a> and Samsung’s mobile Digital Natural Image engine (<strong>mDNIe</strong>), the Galaxy S25 series boasts enhanced AI image processing and display power efficiency. The newly introduced <strong>50MP ultrawide camera</strong> sensor for the Galaxy S25 Ultra delivers epic shots from every range in exceptional clarity, while professional grade controls like <strong>Virtual Aperture</strong> and <strong>Samsung Log</strong> turn any photo or video into the ultimate visual experience.</strong></p>

Samsung has also joined the C2PA as a member, alongside industry leaders including Adobe, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, Publicis Groupe and more, all collaborating to establish Content Credentials as the universal standard for digital content provenance. In line with its commitment to responsible mobile AI innovation, Samsung adopted this standard to enhance transparency for content created and edited with generative AI.</p>

<h3><strong>Capture Love’s Most Beautiful Moments &#8211; Even in low light</strong></h3>
<p>Capturing love’s beautiful moments shouldn’t be ruined by imperfect lighting anymore.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Love Letter Reimagined</strong></h3>
<p>Gone are the days of handwritten love letters only (though they remain a powerful tool).

With a few easy finger taps, your thoughts and dreams are ready to be shared with your partner most chicly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Thoughtful Gestures, Simplified</strong></h3>
<p>In the digital age, gestures of love have never been easier. <em>In-app Search</em> helps you find and share memories, whether it’s an old photo or a sweet note, that instantly warms the heart. Want to surprise your partner with a long-lost photo from your first date or a memory from a shared trip?

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Gift of Knowing Exactly What They Want</strong></h3>
<p>You could be “Netflix and Chilling” with your partner, and they see an item (anything from a plant to a pair of shoes) they like and you immediately think of getting it for them. No more guessing &#8211; <em>Circle to Search</em> is the secret weapon of thoughtful gift-giving, allowing you to snap and circle what’s on screen (whether it’s a photo or video) to search for exactly what your loved one wants. <em>Circle to Search</em> lets you get all the information about it (like where you can get it) without giving away your secret romantic intention. So, whether you’re buying a Valentine’s Day gift or surprising them on a special occasion, it’s all made effortless, ensuring every gift is a hit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Want another way gift-searching has been enhanced? With its human-like ability to interpret your needs, the Galaxy S25’s multimodal search can help you combine voice, image, and text inputs to search for ideas. Simply take pictures of items your partner likes, and the system can recommend gifts based on those inputs.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Galaxy Z series is well-known for defying conventions with its innovative form factors that unlock new possibilities for getting things done. The latest models in the series, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, are equipped with cutting-edge Galaxy AI features designed to enhance everyday life, completely reshaping the concept of productivity. Whether you’re taking notes, doing homework or tackling a new creative project, these devices streamline the workload, making even the most time-consuming tasks stress-free. Here are just some of the ways the AI-powered Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 can supercharge your daily activities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Make Every Note Count</strong></h3>
<p>Taking notes can be a daunting task. Speakers often talk too quickly for those listening to capture everything being said with a pen or keyboard. What’s more, conversations may jump back and forth between topics, making it difficult to keep notes organised. Multitasking by taking notes and engaging in dialogue at the same time can also be challenging. This is where Galaxy AI’s <strong>Note Assist</strong> steps in. Designed to alleviate these concerns, Note Assist acts as a personal secretary, jotting everything down for you so you can be present in the moment.</p>
<div style="width: 720px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-20635-3" width="720" height="720" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main1.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main1.mp4">https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main1.mp4</a></video></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Open a new document in Samsung Notes and initiate a voice recording. After capturing the audio you need, simply stop recording and hit the Galaxy AI button to generate a full transcript of everything you just heard. For a more condensed version, a summary can also be generated for easy sharing and organisation.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Instant, Effortless Translation</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy AI incorporates a suite of tools designed to break down language barriers, from phone call translation to live interpretation. This open approach to communication has now been expanded to PDF documents. The <strong>PDF Overlay Translation</strong> feature makes foreign language documents easily understandable without the need to copy and paste chunks of text into a translation website.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 720px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-20635-4" width="720" height="720" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main2.mp4?_=4" /><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main2.mp4">https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main2.mp4</a></video></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From the My Files app, simply open a foreign language PDF file with Samsung Notes and hit the Galaxy AI button to access the translation option. Galaxy AI will automatically detect the language and overlay the translated text on top of the original. Similar to Note Assist’s transcriptions, there is also an option to generate a summary of the text, allowing you to focus on the main points.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Bring Your Creative Vision to Life</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy AI was crafted to unleash the inner artist in everyone. For those moments when a spark of inspiration strikes but visualisation proves challenging, Galaxy AI is there to perfectly capture your vision. Whether it’s enhancing a sketch or personalising a photo with a custom design, anyone — not just professional artists — can create a masterpiece.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 720px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-20635-5" width="720" height="720" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main3.mp4?_=5" /><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main3.mp4">https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main3.mp4</a></video></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The next time an image you see online ignites a new idea, simply take out the S Pen and open <strong>Sketch to Image</strong>. First, create a freehand sketch or draw over an existing image. Then select your desired art style to bring the sketch to life. Options include watercolour, illustration, sketch, pop art and 3D cartoon. Once you’re happy with your choice, press “Generate” and Galaxy AI will transform the sketch into a vivid gem.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Search Smarter With a Simple Gesture</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Circle to Search with Google</strong> has revolutionised the way we find information, enabling users to simply gesture at what they see to initiate a search. This visual-based search tool makes information searching intuitive and effortless, transforming your device’s screen into a gateway to quick but accurate answers. Shopping, researching during travel and simply discovering new inspiration have never been easier. But this is just the beginning. Circle to Search can even serve as a study companion and help you solve math problems.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 720px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-20635-6" width="720" height="720" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main4.mp4?_=6" /><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main4.mp4">https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-Flip6-Galaxy-AI-Features-Productivity_main4.mp4</a></video></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Simply open the camera, point it at a math problem and activate Circle to Search by holding down the Home button. Then, tap or draw a circle around the problem and a pop-up will provide the solution along with a step-by-step guide so you can learn how to solve it on your own. Circle to Search is an invaluable tool not only for students, but also for parents who assist their children with homework.</p>
