<p>What do you get when you pair an amazing and awesomely creative bunch of Gen Zs (Zoomers) with awesome mobile devices? Awesome content and all-round great stories and entertainment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That’s exactly the recipe for creating awesome – putting Zoomers and the Galaxy A Series together. #BehindTheAwesome, which is set to rollout exclusively on Samsung digital platforms, was created to celebrate and unpack the magnificent stories of awesome South African Gen Zs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Entrepreneur and designer, Nicole Ncube, Creative film director, Lindokuhle Langa and Tik Tok and music extraordinaire, Khanyisa Jaceni all have one thing in common, they’re young, hip, happening, on the move and love what their mobile devices allow them to do all in the name of self-expression and chasing their respective passions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These free-spirited, expressive, unconfined, young digital natives are all agreed about the things that are most important in what their handsets should give them; good battery life, a quality camera to capture great videos and pictures and decent storage for their awesome content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite losing her job at the height of Covid-19, Tik Toker Khanyisa refused to be defeated. She used her phone to launch herself a new career as a content creator on social media. Inspired, trendy and humorous, awesome is what she is and does. “As a content creator, my mission is to keep inspiring and empowering young people to go for their dreams,” she says.</p>

<p>Filmmaker Lindo says he wants to tell authentic stories and have fun while doing it and his device helps him do just that. He says his life gets quite busy and moving from production to production means a 16-hour set day is often on the cards, and it helps to have a phone with a reliable battery. “A two-day battery life is the kind of thing that makes my life so convenient because I can just use it and go and it’s always ready for me,” states Lindo.</p>

<p>Designer Nicole reckons the most awesome feature her phone could have is to literally bring food to her, but seeing as we’re a long way off from that, she’s just happy that it has an awesome camera, long-lasting battery life and can help her wake up every morning courtesy of the 7h30am alarm she’s set. While she enjoys Instagram on her phone, she also likes YouTube videos and says, “I watch the weirdest things on it so the coolest one would have to be a pimple-popping video,” quips Nicole.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today’s digital landscape, young users want to do more than simply take a photo — they want to make it a moment. This is why the all-new Galaxy A53 5G features an AI-enhanced camera experience designed to power every moment of learning, creating and exploring. You can make every photo and video pop, even in low lighting, with a camera that automatically adjusts its framerate to different light conditions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether you’re snapping pics alone or with friends, you can take your best Galaxy photos yet with an enhanced Portrait mode that captures depth and subject outlines more accurately. What’s more, with Fun mode, you can add playful filters to turn any gathering into an impromptu photo shoot. Sometimes, things get in the way of the perfect photo — like an accidental photobomb or a distracting glare. Using Photo Remaster, you can breathe new life into old and low-quality images or use Object eraser to remove any background distractions to create your picture-perfect shot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="subtitle" style="text-align: center;">The new Galaxy A series represents the most popular Galaxy smartphone category,leading the democratization of the latest Galaxy innovations</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Galaxy-A-Unpacked_press-release_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="751" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has announced Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G to deliver a complete package of the latest Galaxy innovations, offering a holistic mobile experience. Powered by a brand-new processor, coupled with Galaxy’s signature AI camera, expansive and smooth display, and two-day battery life<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>[1]</sup></a>, the new Galaxy A series features 5G connectivity, defence-grade security, an eco-conscious, stylish and slim design, and advanced connected experiences. Plus, both devices support continuous One UI and Android OS upgrades and security updates<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> to ensure the user mobile experience is always awesome.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the positive impact mobile technology can have on their lives,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ MX (Mobile eXperience) Business. “With the latest Galaxy A series release, we’re making it easier than ever to enjoy Galaxy’s advanced, innovative mobile experience.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span><strong>Capture an Awesome Shot in Any Situation</strong></span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether creating content or sharing it with friends, Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G offer an advanced, next-level camera experience, packed with many of the powerful and fun features from the Galaxy S series. Galaxy A53 5G’s quad-camera system features a 64MP OIS Camera with VDIS technology that takes crisp and steady shots every time. Meanwhile, a high-resolution 32MP front camera delivers great selfies and clear video call experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Galaxy-A-Unpacked_press-release_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="1295" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fueled by a brand new 5nm processor, the new Galaxy A series’ innovative AI-powered camera makes every image look awesome – even in low lighting. Improved Night mode automatically synthesizes up to 12 images at once, so night photos look bright, with less noise. And when shooting video in low-light environments, the Galaxy A series’ framerate is automatically adjusted to create bright, clear videos.</p>
<p>The enhanced Portrait mode captures depth and subject outlines more accurately with dual cameras and powerful AI. And with Fun mode, moments can be amplified using playful filters and effects that now work with the Ultra-wide lens. Plus, Photo Remaster breathes new life into old and low quality photos, and Object eraser removes pesky photo bombers in the background.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Maximize Viewing Experiences Anywhere, Anytime</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the past, a sunny day could make it hard to see what’s on a smartphone screen, but the new Galaxy A series’ intelligent algorithm ensures the display comes through in vivid detail, even outside. Galaxy A53 5G’s expansive 6.5-inch<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> Super AMOLED display also offers a 120Hz refresh rate for an immersive experience while Galaxy A33 5G features a 6.4-inch<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Plus, the new Galaxy A series is now equipped with up to two-day battery life and 25W Super-Fast Charging<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>[5]</sup></a> – so viewing, streaming and more can last longer.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span><strong>Beautiful, Durable, Purposeful Design</strong></span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Galaxy A series is expertly crafted to be fashionable, functional, and sustainable. The device’s slim bezel creates a smooth, stylish look and Ambient Edge design seamlessly blends the camera with the body of the phone. Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G feature the tough Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 and IP67<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup>[6]</sup></a> water and dust resistance, providing enhanced durability and peace of mind.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has always challenged what’s possible with technology and will continue to rethink how best to use the planet’s resources. Announced in August 2021 with Galaxy for the Planet, Samsung is committed to delivering tangible environmental actions to help make the planet healthier by 2025. Building on Samsung’s sustainability efforts, the Galaxy A series<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup>[7]</sup></a> removes the charger plug and reduces the size of the packaging. Packaging also uses sustainably sourced paper, while the device itself uses recycled post-consumer materials (PCM) for the side buttons and SIM card trays.</p>
