Available now, the new Glow skin joins an expanding roster of Samsung’s exclusive Fortnite content. Last year the two companies celebrated the game’s Android launch with the Galaxy Skin available only on the Galaxy Note9 and Galaxy TabS4. The partnership then expanded earlier this year with the launch of the iKONIK skin and accompanying dance move, Love Scenario, which was developed with K-Pop star Jung Chanwoo of the band iKON for the Galaxy S10.

“Offered on a wider range of devices, the new Glow skin will be based off last year’s Fate skin but will include a new colour combination based on the Galaxy Note10’s Aura Glow colour. The partnership reflects Samsung’s growing focus on delivering users cutting-edge gaming experiences and the global success of Fortnite, “says Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa.

Since launching in 2017, the game has become a cultural phenomenon, reaching more than 250 million registered players at the beginning of 2019 and generating over $2 billion worldwide across all platforms. The partnership provides Samsung with store exclusivity, with the Android version of the game only available through the Galaxy Store and the Epic Games website, a recognition of Samsung’s devices as the gold standard of mobile gaming. The Galaxy Note10 is the company’s latest and greatest offering, with a suite of features that make training to be the next Fortnite world champion a breeze.

The Galaxy Note10’s Game Booster, an AI-based predictive performance enhancer, analyses your playing habits, as well as data from publishers including Epic Games, to optimise your gaming experience depending on your unique individual needs. For those into graphic intense RPGs, Game Booster will optimise your device for better graphics and frame rates, while casual gamers will get a boost in battery performance so you can game for your entire commute with plenty of juice leftover. On top of these software innovations, the Galaxy Note10 also has significant hardware improvements. Equipped with a powerful, smarter battery that optimises power consumption based on individual usage patterns, you never have to worry about sacrificing game time for battery life. For those graphic-intense games that tend to heat up your phone, the Galaxy Note10 also comes with the world’s slimmest vapour chamber. At just 0.35t, the ultra-thin vapour chamber fits within the device’s thin, sleek design and regulates heat to stabilise your device and prevent frustrating lags caused by overheating.

Galaxy Note10 users can take full advantage of their carrier’s fastest network speeds, ensuring you always get a smooth experience gaming on the go. Combined with a powerful CPU and GPU for rendering those stunning graphics, Samsung has signified that mobile gaming is central to its design.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 25 June, 2019 – There is no doubt that the Galaxy S10 series has built on Samsung’s incredible 10-year legacy in ways that have captured the imagination of the world. Consumer Reports ^[1] calls it “The Best Smartphone ever” and it was graded “Best Rated Selfie Camera” by DxOMark^[2], and for gamers there are even more reasons to get their hands on a Galaxy S10 device. Both the hardware and software have been engineered to deliver performance-enhanced gaming without lag. Whatever the game, the Galaxy S10 brings it to life in a whole new way.

“This is a device that has been optimised for gaming. For the millions of Galaxy fans, the Galaxy S10 is a game changer. It competes with other devices effortlessly and then takes the win for an all-round gaming experience,” says Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa.

Crushing your highest score has never been easier. New cooling technology, a GPU enhanced for smoother gameplay and performance improvements through artificial intelligence, the Galaxy S10 is a gamer’s dream. This should make the Galaxy S10 a great choice for the world’s most popular games. The Galaxy S10’s Infinity-O display and Dolby enhanced game mode also delivers better video and audio than was possible on previous phones. All the models are HDR10+ certified, which makes colours spring to life and enhances contrast. Armed with a Quad HD 2K display, the Galaxy S10 is simply incredible.

The Galaxy S10 and S10e makes use of an advanced heat pipe cooling system while the Galaxy S10+ uses a vapour chamber cooling system. This is similar to the systems used on gaming consoles, allowing for an extremely powerful device that remains at required temperatures without needing traditional cooling systems or fans. The storage capacity of 1TB ^[3] enables the consumer to install and enjoy their favourite games and apps. The devices are made for those extensive gaming sessions; with up to a 4100mAh (typical) battery ^[4] capacity on Galaxy S10+, you can spend more time gaming and less time charging.

Clearly, the Galaxy S10 has changed the game in terms of what a smartphone can and should be. More good news for South Africans is that there is now a special offer for those who purchase the Galaxy S10 and S10+ ^[5]. The first 1000 customers that purchase any of these devices from any network operator, retail outlet and online store will receive 2,500 V-bucks plus the exclusive Galaxy iKonik Outfit within Fortnite^[5]. This promotion has been running from 7 June and will continue until 7 July. More info on this amazing promotion can be found online at: https://www.samsung.com/za/offer/

Ultimately, the Galaxy S10 range is packed with powerful features that have made headlines across the globe including a screen made for cinema, ultrasonic fingerprint security, wireless power-share, a long lasting battery [5] and ground-breaking camera features, including an ultra-wide lens. These are just some of the reasons it has garnered the level of praise it has had since launch.
