]]> [Global Accessibility Awareness Day] Galaxy Buds2 Pro Brings Enhanced Ambient Sound for People Who Are Hard of Hearing https://news.samsung.com/za/global-accessibility-awareness-day-galaxy-buds2-pro-brings-enhanced-ambient-sound-for-people-who-are-hard-of-hearing?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=direct Thu, 18 May 2023 10:33:43 +0000 https://bit.ly/3ImHqxU

 

Whether it’s listening to your favorite music, or simply tuning into—or tuning out—your surroundings, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro offer the ultimate in sound for everyone. As we recognize Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Samsung is committed to helping those who are hard of hearing better enjoy the sounds of the world around them with the introduction of new enhanced Ambient Sound.

 

Making Technology More Accessible and Inclusive

Previously available at three levels of customization, the updated Ambient Sound feature—which gives users the ability to listen to and stay aware of their surroundings—now adds two additional levels, offering five levels of amplification[1] and providing the benefit of improved hearing to even more users.

To assess the feature’s efficacy[2], a clinical trial was undertaken by the University of Iowa’s Hearing Aid and Aging Research Laboratory. Their research concluded that Galaxy Buds2 Pro significantly improved speech perception in those with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. A similar trial conducted by Samsung Medical Center also found that the Galaxy Buds2 Pro could be an effective tool to help those with mild-to-moderate hearing loss to better communicate in a quiet place.

 

Bringing New Levels to Audio Customization

With this improved feature, Galaxy Buds2 Pro users can also fine tune their Ambient Sound settings across a variety of needs. Users can adjust the volumes on the left and the right respectively, as well as customize their Ambient Sound tone range from soft to clear across five different stages. Additionally, Ambient Sound can tune to a users’ ears through the Adapt Ambient Sound feature, allowing for even more clarity in helping users hear the world around them better.

 

“We are excited to be introducing the new enhanced accessibility feature of the Galaxy Buds2 Pro to users on Global Accessibility Awareness Day,” said Han-gil Moon, Master and Head of Advanced Audio Lab, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to work to help each and every user experience the best possible audio anytime, anywhere with their Galaxy Buds2 Pro.”

 

 

Availability

The enhanced Ambient Sound feature will be progressively released on Galaxy Buds2 Pro via software updates in coming weeks[3].

How can we reduce marine plastics? Samsung Electronics’Efforts for Our Beautiful Ocean














Environmentally-Conscious Innovation through Galaxy Devices
To minimize the impact on the environment while maintaining product quality, Samsung Electronics has used recycled plastics made from discarded fishing nets in the Galaxy S23 series. Through these efforts, Samsung’s goal is to prevent more than 15 tons* of discarded fishing nets from entering the world’s oceans by the end of the year. *Calculated number based on sales estimation
Galaxy S23 Ultra: Designed With the Planet in Mind


Recycled plastic parts (discarded fishing nets) used in the Galaxy S23 Ultra - S Pen inner Cover, Bottom Speaker Module(Lower)
Recycled Glass Parts (Pre-consumer glass) used in the Galaxy S23 Ultra - Front Screen
Recycled plastic parts (PET bottles) used in the Galaxy S23 Ultra - Case Front, Back Glass(Deco Film)

Meet Plastics Made From Discarded Fishing Nets in More Galaxy Devices

Recycled plastics from discarded fishing nets were first used in parts of the Galaxy S22 series and have since been utilized in various other Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Buds, tablets, PCs and more.
Galaxy S22 Ultra - Side key bracket, S Pen inner cover
Galaxy Z Flip4 - Side key bracket
Galaxy Buds2 Pro - Bracket Battery Holder, Bracket Deco Front, Bracket PCB Cradle

Innovative Smartphone Development With Like-minded Partners

Hanwha Compound: We’re working hard on researching and developing eco-conscious materials using recycled discarded fishing nets. By collaborating with Samsung Electronics, we’ll not only contribute to producing eco-conscious products but also protecting marine life. DSM : Samsung Electronics is the first in the smartphone industry to have used Akulon® RePurposed recycled material from discarded fishing nets. We’re confident that such efforts will inspire other industries as well and help make our oceans cleaner and a better place.

Eco-conscious Efforts Recognized by the World

Samsung has been recognized for its efforts to improve the environment, including its use of discarded fishing nets in its products, and has received multiple prestigious awards.
2022 SEAL* Winner of the Business Sustainability Award, 2023 Social Impact Awards** Winner in the Sustainability Campaign category
*SEAL (Sustainability, Environmental Achievement and Leadership): As an environmental organization located in California, U.S., SEAL has been recognizing and awarding companies that lead notable sustainable and environmental development since 2017. **Presented by PR News, the awards honor companies and people making efforts to improve society

The Small but Big Difference Made by Using Discarded Fishing Nets

25% - The amount of carbon emissions that can be reduced if discarded fishing nets are used when producing 1 metric ton of plastics* 120trees - Producing products using discarded fishing nets is equivalent to planting 120 30-year-old pine trees**
*This evaluation was conducted by Hanwha Compound, a partner company of Samsung Electronics, which produces and supplies recycled plastic used in Galaxy devices. **Source : Based on the National Institute of Forest Science’s data on pine trees in the central region in Korea (July 2019)

Everyday Sustainability With Samsung Screens

Samsung’s Visual Display Business is making various efforts, such as reducing power consumption for TV and monitors and applying recycled plastics. In particular, the company has been expanding the use of recycled plastics across its product lines, including in the rear cover of monitors since 2022, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases.

Bespoke AI™ Washer: The Right Choice for Both the Environment and Clothes

Samsung Electronics collaborated with global outdoor brand Patagonia and non-profit marine protection research organization Ocean Wise in 2022 and succeeded in developing a wash cycle that can reduce microplastics. Samsung has once again solidified its position in the industry by developing innovative technology that protects the environment.

Bespoke AI™ Washer Helps Reduce Microplastics

SAMSUNG patagonia - In September 2022, Samsung Electronics launched the Bespoke AI™ laundry in Europe, which boasts significantly upgraded energy efficiency and AI features. The Bespoke AI™ Washer comes with a wash cycle that reduces microplastics, which was developed in collaboration with Patagonia.

Changing the Standard of Washing Clothes With Patented Ecobubble™ Technology

]]> New Software Updates to Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Galaxy Watch Series Uplevel the Galaxy Camera Experience   https://news.samsung.com/za/new-software-updates-to-galaxy-buds2-pro-and-galaxy-watch-series-uplevel-the-galaxy-camera-experience?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=direct Fri, 27 Jan 2023 17:11:25 +0000 https://bit.ly/3Jlhe8y Paired with a Galaxy smartphone, the latest wearable software updates bring users new ways to capture the world as they hear and see it

 

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced, on 12 January 2023, new software updates to Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Galaxy Watch series, elevating content capturing for Galaxy users everywhere. Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones have offer elite photography and videography experiences, letting users create, capture, and share their epic moments. Now, when paired with the latest wearable devices, the already-powerful Galaxy camera is further strengthened with 360 Audio Recording, the unique feature that brings immersive sound to video content, along with an upgrade to the Camera Controller that makes zooming in and out remotely easier. These software updates reflect Samsung’s continuous commitment to providing the most up-to-date experiences to existing devices.

 

 

360 Audio Recording: Capture the World as You Hear it

The new 360 Audio Recording feature[1] empowers users to capture sound on video, precisely as they hear it. Pairing Galaxy Buds2 Pro with a Galaxy smartphone, everyone can film like a pro and capture high-quality, realistic audio for video without the need for bulky professional equipment, anytime, anywhere. The feature picks up 360-degree sound using a microphone in each earbud, placing viewers at the centre of a roaring festival crowd or beside a bubbling brook in the middle of a forest. Users can pop in connected headphones and playback the video on their device or social media channel to hear lifelike and immersive sounds that emulate an in-person experience.

 

360 Audio Recording is the first feature in the Galaxy line leveraging LE Audio, a new Bluetooth audio function. This new technology brings better audio quality as well as improved latency and battery life[2]. Beyond providing better-sounding music, LE Audio also broadens the spectrum of audio experiences to deliver more complex and rich sound that can be shared with others. Now, LE Audio brings binaural recording to Galaxy Buds2 Pro – taking advantage of both the left and right mics at the same time. When pairing the Buds2 Pro with a Galaxy Z Flip4 or Fold4, users are drawn into the moment, benefitting from high-quality stereo audio as well as high-quality video.

 

 

Camera Controller: Frame the Perfect Shot Right from Your Wrist

Photography and videography with Galaxy smartphones are about maintaining creative control in any situation. One example is the Galaxy Watch’s Camera Controller app, which enables users to control their phone camera right from their wrist. A new update – soon to be available on the Galaxy Watch5 and Watch4 series – adds zoom capabilities to Camera Controller[3], further expanding the Galaxy camera experience with Galaxy smartphone and Galaxy Watch connectivity. Now users can remotely control their phone’s camera zoom with a simple pinch of the watch face or a turn of the rotating bezel – perfect for taking group shots or solo selfies from a distance and eliminating the need to run back and forth to the camera to frame the perfect picture.

 

Availability[4]

The new 360 Audio Recording feature will be progressively released on Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 via software updates starting today1. The updated Camera Controller feature will be available on the Galaxy Watch5, Watch5 Pro, Watch4 and Watch4 Classic beginning from February2. These new wearable features are expected to provide more powerful synergies with the new Galaxy camera capabilities – offering new and never-before seen experiences.
