																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the global leader in foldables, Samsung’s innovations have moved the category forward year after year — creating the thin, light, and durable designs, innovative AI experiences, and stunning displays that users love.</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold8, unveiled alongside the latest Galaxy Z series lineup at Galaxy Unpacked on July 22, continues that legacy of innovation. Its display features all new Flex Titanium technology to make the device thin without compromising durability. The new display also creates a less visible crease for immersive viewing anytime, anywhere.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How is Galaxy Z Fold8 different from other Galaxy Z series foldables?</h3>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 is designed for users who want the portability and ease of a traditional bar type phone while still being able to enjoy the benefits of a tablet-like display. Its form factor allows you to move easily between time sensitive actions on the cover screen to time intensive tasks like reading, gaming, and streaming on the main display.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold design yet, with intuitive display ratios, and long-lasting performance, making it easier to be immersed in the content, stories, and ideas that you care about.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How big is the screen on Galaxy Z Fold8?</h3>
<p>When folded, the 5.5-inch cover screen<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>1</sup></a> feels familiar and comfortable for the short moments people return to most often, from messaging and social updates to browsing and short-form video. When unfolded, the 4 by 3 ratio and 7.6-inch main display create a larger canvas that helps users lose themselves in games and films. When rotated, the 3 by 4 display ratio is ideal for reading, offering a more comfortable way to enjoy articles, e-books, and long-form content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, these display ratios are designed to make it more natural and comfortable to consume content, helping everything you do on Z Fold8 feel more immersive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Why do the display ratios on Galaxy Z Fold8 matter?</h3>
<p>A device&#8217;s display ratio helps determine how much of the screen is used when viewing photos, videos, games, and other content. Display ratios play an important role in how efficiently content uses the available screen space. Galaxy Z Fold8’s display ratios were chosen to reflect the way many people prefer to consume content today. The main screen features a 10:16 ratio — ideal for horizontal videos — while the cover screen features a 4:3 ratio — designed for vertical viewing. Both optimize the viewing experience for the content people naturally watch on each screen.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>2</sup></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How is AI on Galaxy Z Fold8 different from other Z series devices?</h3>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold8 offers a new kind of foldable experience built around the way people explore, discover, and immerse themselves in their favorite content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy AI has been optimized for each of the form factors in the lineup, so actions feel more connected<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>3</sup></a>. Multitasking is easy on the wide screens of Galaxy Z Fold8,<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>4</sup></a> and AI experiences, including Gemini,<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>5</sup></a> give Galaxy users even simpler and more intuitive ways to get things done.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>When will Galaxy Z Fold8 be available to purchase?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When shopping for a new phone, you&#8217;ve probably read reviews and watched comparison videos in search of the &#8220;best&#8221; device.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While rankings can be helpful, they can’t answer the most important question: which phone is best for me? That answer depends on personal considerations like how you prefer to work, create, and stay connected throughout your day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25800 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Recommended-Articles-268x178-42.png" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Recommended-Articles-268x178-42.png 1200w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Recommended-Articles-268x178-42-563x563.png 563w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Recommended-Articles-268x178-42-768x768.png 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Recommended-Articles-268x178-42-1024x1024.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<h3>Why Does Samsung Offer Multiple Foldable Form Factors?</h3>
<p>The best foldable isn&#8217;t the same for everyone. That&#8217;s exactly why Samsung offers three distinct foldable designs with the new Galaxy Z series. Whether you want to consolidate with a single mobile device that can power through your to-do list, a screen built for streaming and reading, or looking for something more compact and convenient, Galaxy Z series has options.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through eight generations of refinement, Samsung understands what users want most from foldables. The new Galaxy Z series is the result of all that experience. Every device delivers in the areas users care about most: displays, durability, portability, and performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Which Galaxy Z Foldable Is Right for You?</h3>
<p>The latest Galaxy Z series offers a range of innovative foldable form factors, the compact Galaxy Z Flip8, the brand-new Galaxy Z Fold8, and the powerful Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Deciding which is right for you ultimately depends on what you want from your smartphone experience, and how your phone fits into your life.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Choose Galaxy Z Flip8 if you want:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Maximum portability from Samsung’s slimmest and lightest Z series device</li>
<li>An experience built around self-expression and capturing the best selfies</li>
<li>Everyday convenience for quick tasks without opening your phone</li>
</ul>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Choose Galaxy Z Fold8 if you’re looking for:</h3>
<ul>
<li>A new foldable shape designed for modern content formats</li>
<li>An immersive viewing experience for watching, reading, and gaming</li>
<li>Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet</li>
</ul>
<h3>Choose Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra if you prioritize:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Samsung’s top-of the line experience reserved for Ultra devices</li>
<li>Multitasking on an expansive 8-inch folding main<a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>1</sup></a></li>
<li>Productivity and flagship performance</li>
<li>The most versatile and capable camera system in the Galaxy Z series</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Across the lineup, the durability of the Galaxy Z series is complemented by Galaxy’s latest mobile AI<a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>2</sup></a> experiences and software optimized for each form factor, giving you a bespoke experience built around each unique design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The best phone is the one that fits your life, and Samsung Galaxy’s portfolio is designed to help you find it. From the Galaxy Z TriFold introduced earlier this year to the latest Galaxy Z series, Samsung is committed to evolving its foldable portfolio to meet a wide range of needs and lifestyles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><a href=#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><sup>1</sup></a></span><span style="font-size: small;">Measured diagonally, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra’s Cover Screen size is 6.5” in the full rectangle and 6.5” accounting for the rounded corners. The Main Screen size is 8.0” in the full rectangle and 8.0” accounting for the rounded corners; actual viewable area is smaller due to the rounded corners and camera hole.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><a href=#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><sup>2</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Galaxy AI basic features provided by Samsung are free. Any Samsung enhanced AI features and all third-party AI features are subject to different terms and may be subject to fees.</span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 in London, Samsung Electronics unveiled the eighth-generation Galaxy Z series. Combining agentic AI that understands users with hardware tailored to different lifestyles, the line-up offers three distinct foldable experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom got an early look at the new devices during Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 — from Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the first Ultra model in the Galaxy foldable portfolio to Galaxy Z Fold8 with its all-new form factor and Galaxy Z Flip8 with more intuitive AI on FlexWindow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25739 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/001-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-e1784901819989.jpg" alt="" width="740" height="367" /></em></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h2><span><strong>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra: The Ultra Experience on a Foldable Display</strong></span></h2>
<p><span>Within the Galaxy line-up, the “Ultra” name represents Samsung’s highest level of performance and user experience. As the first Ultra model in the Galaxy Z series, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra pairs ultra-level performance with an expansive foldable display to elevate productivity through AI-powered multi-tasking.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25740 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/002-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="812" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/002-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/002-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/002-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-998x563.jpg 998w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/002-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-768x433.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/002-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-1024x577.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The first thing that stands out is how thin the device is. Unfolding it reveals a spacious 8-inch main display. Measuring 4.1 millimetres thick when unfolded and weighing only 215 grams, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the thinnest Galaxy Z Fold yet; making it comfortable to carry and use throughout the day.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The display has also been refined to deliver smoother, more comfortable folding. The folding magnets, hinge mechanism and display tension have been precisely optimised, while refinements to the edge design make the device easier to unfold. Samsung’s proprietary Flex Titanium technology helps minimise the display crease while enhancing durability.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25745 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-A-First-Look_dl3-3-e1784900982710.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="750" /></span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The expansive display also unlocks enhanced AI experiences. Gemini Notebook streamlines the process of organising meeting materials and notes. Users can now upload a PDF of meeting minutes or an audio recording of a presentation to generate a summary of the key points, then transform the same source material into a variety of formats — including AI-generated videos, presentation slides, podcasts and quizzes.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25742 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-A-First-Look_dl4.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1120" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-A-First-Look_dl4.jpg 1500w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-A-First-Look_dl4-754x563.jpg 754w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-A-First-Look_dl4-768x573.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-A-First-Look_dl4-1024x765.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra truly shines in AI-powered multi-tasking. Agentic AI anticipates when multi-tasking is needed, using Now Nudge to open Multi Window at the right moment. For example, Now Nudge can suggest adding dinner plans from a messaging app to the calendar and open the Calendar app in Multi Window.</span></p>

<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Unfolding the device expands the display to a 4:3 aspect ratio, ideal for watching movies or playing games. Rotating the device switches to a 3:4 aspect ratio that feels more natural for reading e-books or browsing the web. The cover screen’s 10:16 aspect ratio also provides a familiar experience for browsing short-form content. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>A 4,800mAh battery supports more than 26 hours of video playback. Weighing just 201 grams, Galaxy Z Fold8 is the lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet and remains comfortable to hold — even during extended viewing sessions.</span></p>
<p><span><strong> </strong></span></p>
<h2><span><strong>Video to be inserted here</strong></span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Galaxy Z Fold8 goes beyond content consumption with tools for creating and editing. Galaxy AI-powered My FanCam makes it easy to create videos focused on a specific person. After selecting a video in the Gallery app, users can launch My FanCam and choose the subject to follow. The video is then automatically reframed around the selected subject.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The device also delivers a more advanced agentic AI experience. For example, if a user shares a photo of the Eiffel Tower with Gemini and asks it to book a nearby hotel, the AI agent finds accommodations that match the specified criteria — even while they continue using other apps. Afterward, they can simply review the recommendations and approve only the actions that require confirmation &#8211; saving time and effort.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><img class="wp-image-25746 size-full aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-A-First-Look_dl7-e1784901247791.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="387" /></span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h2><span><strong>Galaxy Z Flip8: More Without Unfolding</strong></span></h2>
<p><span>Galaxy Z Flip8 makes a strong first impression with its thin, lightweight design. Measuring 6.1 millimetres thick when unfolded and weighing only 180 grams, it offers excellent portability. A stronger frame and a more durable hinge made with a new high-strength material improve durability while maintaining the device’s slim profile.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25738 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/008-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="1045" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/008-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/008-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-776x563.jpg 776w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/008-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-768x557.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/008-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-1024x743.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>One of Galaxy Z Flip8’s biggest upgrades is its more versatile FlexWindow. Users can check important information and access their favourite features without unfolding the device. Another highlight is Galaxy AI’s Now Brief. From FlexWindow, users can instantly see the day’s weather, schedule and important notifications. Everyday information such as exchange rates and stock updates is organised into personalised cards, making it easy to stay on top of the day.</span></p>

<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>App functionality also extends to FlexWindow. Without unfolding the device, users can browse photos in the Gallery app, chat with friends through messaging apps and quickly complete tasks. More than a hub for notifications and widgets, FlexWindow has evolved into a gateway to more of what Galaxy has to offer.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The camera experience has also been refined to better complement the Galaxy Z Flip form factor. Camcorder Grip — exclusive to the Galaxy Z Flip series — enables stable one-handed recording, while Super Steady’s horizontal lock helps keep footage smooth and level, even on the move.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Dual Recording captures both the creator and the subject in the same video, perfect for vlogs and social media challenges. Opening the Camera app displays the creator’s view at the top of the screen and the subject’s view below, allowing both perspectives to be recorded simultaneously. A live preview is also available on the cover screen, so both can see the shot while filming.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><img class="wp-image-25741 size-full alignnone" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/010-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="935" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/010-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/010-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-867x563.jpg 867w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/010-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-768x499.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/010-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-A-First-Look-at-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-Ultra-Galaxy-Z-Fold8-and-Galaxy-Z-Flip8-Newsbody-1024x665.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>From AI-powered productivity on a large display to optimised content viewing and everyday convenience without unfolding, the eighth-generation Galaxy Z series expands the possibilities of foldables. Designed to suit a wide range of needs, the latest Galaxy foldables offer users more ways to choose the mobile experience that suits them.</span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>History repeats a pattern. The breakthroughs that change everything are rarely the most powerful inventions. They are the moments those inventions reach into daily life. Electricity changed society not with power plants, but when a switch appeared in homes. The internet became ours through the browser. The phone became powerful through the ecosystem of apps that grew on top of it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI will be no different.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Where AI Meets People</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI is getting smarter faster, and this will continue. But to change how people live, it must answer: where, how and into whose hands does this intelligence reach? This will define AI’s next chapter.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI no longer merely answers. It is entering an agentic age, taking action on our behalf while the person carries the final decision. But to act for someone, it must first know them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-25598 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-TM-Roh-Editorial_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-TM-Roh-Editorial_main1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-TM-Roh-Editorial_main1-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2026-TM-Roh-Editorial_main1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That is why it matters where AI meets people. The entry points are where AI understands a person and builds trust. The best AI experiences will come from the devices that know the user best.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is what Samsung has spent years building. The phone is closest to us, with us daily. The tablet is where we create and learn. The watch reads signals like sleep and heart rate. The TV and connected home appliances add context from where we live. And new form factors, from foldables to intelligent eyewear, expand where AI meets us. Together, a fuller picture of a person’s needs forms.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These entry points are powerful together. Signals from across devices become timely assistance: sleep tracked by your watch shapes tomorrow’s schedule, with information always available. AI at its best works quietly in the background, bringing these moments into a cohesive experience. That is why we have spent years building an ecosystem not just to reach, but to connect more moments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Built on Openness and Trust</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung does not do this alone. The platforms that changed the world were the most open. The web was. So were mobile operating systems. With SmartThings, we brought devices, services and partners into one connected experience, shaping industry open standards. Openness lets the best ideas reach people faster. And we don’t simply layer intelligence on top, but design how AI works at the center so it serves each person in context.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But openness alone is not the goal. The harder task is turning intelligence into something personal and trustworthy. The best intelligence in the world should reach people through their everyday devices. But what makes it personal is understanding the user and keeping that understanding safe. That is our responsibility.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As AI becomes more personal and agentic, trust becomes the foundation. People need to know what AI is doing for them and remain in control.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is why trust isn’t added at the end. Samsung Knox protects each Galaxy device and now the connections between them. As intelligence moves across devices, protecting what flows between them is crucial. The most personal data stays on the device so people can understand how AI is working and remain in control.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>The Next Chapter of Galaxy</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That same understanding shapes the devices we build. The more personal and capable AI becomes, the more form matters. As AI helps us with more at once, a screen that flexes and folds expands what is possible. This is what makes foldables special: they fold into your hand or open a larger stage. On this journey, Samsung has continued to make foldables thinner, lighter, stronger and more immersive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI is also essential in health. How we sleep, recover and look after ourselves — daily choices add up. A device close to us, like a watch, tracks these signals ensuring a better day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked is where we will show what’s next in bringing all this together: more personal, natural AI experiences on a foundation more partners can build on. The question that opens the next era is not who has the smartest AI, but who understands people best, and turns that understanding into experiences they can trust.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We intend to take this path with openness and responsibility, beginning with the device already in your hand. We open this next chapter together at Galaxy Unpacked.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On 26 June 2026, Samsung marked an exciting milestone with the opening of a new store at Vaal Lifestyle Centre – allowing shoppers from the Vaal area and surroundings the opportunity to discover its latest Artificial Intelligence (AI)-integrated smart devices, TVs and other home appliances &#8211; at their doorstep.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Outfitted with cutting edge design and the classic Samsung aesthetic – this new store embodies the company’s commitment to innovation and technological advancement. This new playground for technological innovation is allowing shoppers from Vereeniging suburbs and townships within a 5-to-10km radius as well as the greater Vaal Triangle including Vanderbijlpark, Sasolburg, Meyerton and surrounding settlements &#8211; the opportunity to discover the power of Samsung’s AI technology, which elevates how shoppers experience high-quality consumer electronics in-store.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25570 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC03239-1024x819.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="819" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC03239-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC03239-704x563.jpg 704w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC03239-768x614.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By visiting the new store, Vaal-based customers can now easily access a wide array of innovative Samsung products, solutions, services and experiences — all under one roof. The Vaal Lifestyle Centre is a premium commercial and retail development located in Vereeniging that blends modern architecture with convenient, experience-led shopping.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s new store will offer locals hands-on experiences and showcase connected ecosystems of the latest Galaxy AI and Bespoke AI home appliances in a premium space. It is the perfect platform for Samsung in-store teams to provide interactive demonstrations, such as showcasing the latest Galaxy AI, high-end foldables as well as Bespoke AI technology, which helps consumers make informed buying decisions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25571 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC03196-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC03196-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC03196-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DSC03196-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Kgomotso Mannya, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for Samsung South Africa said: “We are excited to expand Samsung’s retail footprint with the opening of our new store. This investment reinforces our commitment to making Samsung’s premium technology, integrated ecosystem, expert customer service and support more accessible. The new store will provide Vaal customers with a different retail experience, enabling them to engage directly with our latest innovations and receive personalised guidance from trained Samsung specialists.”</span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong> Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a global partner of Street League Skateboarding (SLS) has announced that the Galaxy S26 Ultra was used to film live Street League Skateboarding (SLS) competition for the first time when it captured the SLS DTLA Takeover in Los Angeles, USA, on April 4. The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s pro-grade camera redefines the role of mobile devices in sports, delivering a fresh visual experience of skateboarding that reflects the intensity of the sport itself.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-25329 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/original-1-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sports broadcasting is evolving, bringing fans closer to the experience by moving cameras closer to the action. Samsung is driving this shift with the Galaxy camera system and its ability to operate at broadcast-level performance through the pairing of connectivity and mobility. Earlier this year, Galaxy flagship device was used to stream Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, where Samsung worked alongside Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) to embed Galaxy devices throughout the venue at one of the world’s largest sports stages. The result was a new layer of visual storytelling, capturing dynamic perspectives that complemented traditional broadcast coverage. These capabilities extended to the Galaxy Unpacked 2026, showcasing its ability to deliver professional-grade video capture and transmission.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, Samsung is helping lead this transformation within skateboarding competitions by embedding the Galaxy S26 Ultra directly into key course features — including rails, ledges and gaps — across the entire SLS 2026 season, fully scaling the Galaxy POV (point of view) first introduced at the 2026 SLS Sydney stop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Mobile innovation is opening new possibilities for how sports are captured and experienced,” said, Executive Vice President and Head of the Visual Solution Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “At Milano Cortina we demonstrated how Galaxy technology can complement traditional broadcast systems. With Street League Skateboarding, we’re bringing that same approach directly into the course with our newest, most advanced device camera, and using mobile POV to capture skateboarding from entirely new perspectives.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25330 size-medium" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/original-2-422x563.jpg" alt="" width="422" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Embedded throughout the course, the devices provide skater-level perspectives, offering angles that traditional broadcast systems often cannot capture. This footage feeds directly into the live production workflow, enabling near-instant replay and offering viewers a fresh visual experience that reflects the intensity of the sport itself.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From speed to the precision of every landing, skateboarding is defined by details that are often lost from a distance. With mobile cameras placed directly inside the course, Samsung is reimagining how the sport is experienced, bringing fans closer to each mid-air movement, board flip and landing. These new perspectives offer deeper insight into technique, timing and control, while strengthening the connection between fans, the sport and the athlete.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Featuring Samsung’s most advanced mobile imaging system to date, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is designed to perform in fast-moving, unpredictable environments, much like the athletes themselves. It delivers professional-grade camera performance and high-quality footage across a wide range of shooting conditions with enhanced stabilisation, intelligent processing and the ability to maintain clarity in low-light or high-speed conditions<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>. This allows it to operate alongside conventional cameras while maintaining more clarity, stability and detail than its predecessor, within spaces traditional broadcast cameras cannot easily access.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The placement of Galaxy S26 Ultra devices follows the rhythm and flow of each run, revealing the style, speed and precision of each trick from within the course itself. Galaxy features also extend the creative possibilities of production. Features such as Super Steady<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> with horizontal lock stabilisation help maintain smooth, level footage even during high-speed motion, while Instant Slow-Mo<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> enables detailed replay of tricks as they happen. Together, these capabilities allow production teams to capture skateboarding with clarity, stability and proximity — showcasing the precision, style and technical skill behind every movement.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Skateboarding is reaching more people than ever before, especially as the sport continues to grow on the global stage,” said Brett Clarke, Chief Revenue Officer at Thrill Sports, the parent company of Street League Skateboarding. “Collaborations like the one we have with Samsung help us evolve how the sport is shared with fans while staying true to the creativity and culture that define skateboarding.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The debut of Galaxy S26 Ultra POV integration at the SLS DTLA Takeover signals where sports broadcasting is heading next. As the SLS Championship Tour continues, Samsung will continue exploring how mobile technology can evolve into versatile broadcast tools. Looking ahead to major global sporting events and the road to Los Angeles 2028, this shift suggests a future in which the boundary between smartphone camera and broadcast camera continues to disappear, bringing fans closer to the action.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Audio Eraser<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> on Galaxy devices reduces unnecessary noise in videos and amplifies desired sounds, enabling a more immersive viewing experience. First introduced for editing saved content on the Galaxy S25 series, the feature has evolved significantly over the generations. Audio Eraser expanded to support playback adjustments within native apps — such as Gallery and Voice Recorder — on Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, with the Galaxy S26 series,<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> it has reached new heights by supporting real-time audio control on content streamed across various platforms. In this article, we’ll dive deeper into these advancements.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>From Fix it Later to Filter it Now<br />
</strong></h3>
<p><strong><strong><br />
</strong></strong>Starting with the Galaxy S26 series, Audio Eraser has evolved into a live audio experience. It enables real-time sound separation and optimisation across voices, music and background noise, not only for recorded content but also for over-the-top (OTT) or social media content you are watching. This advancement shifts the focus from post-recording edits to real-time audio management.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By integrating an AI (artificial intelligence) sound engine with advanced sound separation technology, the Galaxy S26 series allows you to adjust and control recorded sound as it occurs. This enables a clear, immersive listening experience across various streaming platforms by effectively erasing distracting background noise.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1920px;" class="wp-video"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');</script><![endif]-->
<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-25280-1" width="1920" height="1080" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Audio-eraser_On-Off-Asset_.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Audio-eraser_On-Off-Asset_.mp4">https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Audio-eraser_On-Off-Asset_.mp4</a></video></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Seamless Access, Total Control</strong></h3>
<p>You can easily adjust noise and reduce distractions directly from the Quick panel without needing to rewind or replay content. While the video is playing, simply swipe down from the top right of the screen and tap the Audio Eraser icon to start filtering the sound right away.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once activated, the feature offers advanced controls for a more professional touch. You can adjust the “Strength” slider to fine-tune noise reduction and enable “Voice Focus” to focus/prioritise on  dialogue in the video.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the Galaxy S26 series, you can enjoy tailored sound quality in real-time, for the different types of content you watch.</p>
<div id="attachment_25283" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-25283 size-medium" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Audio-eraser_UI_EN_0415-1000x563.png" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲Access Audio Eraser via the Quick panel on the Galaxy S26 series, with controls to adjust “Strength” and enable “Voice focus.”<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a></p></div>
<h3><strong> </strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Audio Eraser is no longer limited to reducing noise. It now allows you to easily design your sound in real time. Enjoy the more personalised and comfortable listening experience with the Galaxy S26 series.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><sup><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a> Audio Eraser supports adjusting noise from media playing through the Quick panel for select apps on the Galaxy S26 series. The level of support depends on the model and OS version. Results may vary by video depending on how sounds are present. Samsung Account login is required. Certain types of sound, such as voices, music and noise, can be detected. Actual sound detection may vary depending on the audio source and video conditions. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed.</sup></em></p>
<p><em><sup><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span>[2]</span></a> The Galaxy S26 series includes Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra.</sup></em></p>
