<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 embody modern, sleek design. Through their simple, solid exterior and linear form, these devices express what Galaxy’s design identity is all about. Explore the design story behind the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, where modernity and simplicity converge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> * The images featured in this article are for illustrative purposes only and may differ from the actual product. Product specifications may vary by country, region, model and carrier.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Iconic and Unique</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19726 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="648" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main2.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main2-869x563.jpg 869w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main2-768x498.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Floating Design, a distinctive and impactful design element newly incorporated into the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6, makes it seem like the foldables’ screens float above their bodies when viewed from the side. When folded, the bold line along the side of the devices not only accentuates their sleek, linear form, but also facilitates easier opening, enhancing overall usability.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19727 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main3.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="660" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Linear form is a core aspect of the Galaxy Z Fold6 design, maximised by its effortlessly sleek and streamlined, yet balanced shape. By reducing the length and increasing the width of the cover screen, the Galaxy Z Fold6 is more user-friendly than ever before with a refreshing new look. The corners on the right-hand side of the device now mirror the shape of those on the left, resulting in an almost symmetrical silhouette when folded.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19728 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main4.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="562" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main4.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main4-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main4-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through six generations of technological advancements and design expertise, the Galaxy Z Fold6 stands out as the slimmest and lightest among all Galaxy Z Fold models to date. Its balanced design and thin form ensure maximum comfort, adding to the desirability of this premium foldable phone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19729 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main5.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="562" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main5.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main5-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main5-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the Galaxy series’ most defining features is its signature linear camera layout and this design motif takes centre stage on both the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6. The Galaxy Z Fold6 sports a bold camera decoration that further highlights the row of three circles descending vertically from the back top left corner of the device.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip6’s camera design exudes the vibrant, bubbly spirit of the Galaxy Z Flip series with a new camera decoration designed to match the diverse range of available body colours. The linear camera arrangements are even more prominent than in previous models, making the new Galaxy smartphones instantly recognisable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Vibrant and Multicolored</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19730 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main6.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="701" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main6.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main6-803x563.jpg 803w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main6-768x538.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">* The Navy, Blue, Mint and Yellow images were created by generative AI (Navy, Blue, Yellow: Photoshop AI / Mint: Midjourney)</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 bring a lively mood with both vivid and subtle colours. Each hue in this series evokes joyful moments connecting with nature. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is available in Silver Shadow, Pink and Navy, reflecting the confidence and sophistication of premium foldable phones. The Galaxy Z Flip6 is also available in the same Silver Shadow as the Galaxy Z Fold6, plus Blue, Mint and Yellow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19731 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main7.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="562" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main7.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main7-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main7-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Featuring geometric shapes, the wallpapers of the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 seamlessly blend into the devices’ exterior aesthetics. They illustrate a graceful motion of light and shadow that mirrors the light reflecting off the haze glass on the back of the products.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The palette of the wallpaper dynamically adapts to the visual cues conveyed by each device’s colour, bringing it to life. To balance aesthetics and usability, brightness and contrast adjustments optimise the display’s energy consumption. Elegant animations amplify the sense of space created by the arrangement of outwardly extending circles and lines. Additionally, the wallpaper responds interactively depending on the angle of the display, turning the simple act of folding and unfolding into moments of joy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19732 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main8.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="713" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main8.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main8-790x563.jpg 790w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Samsung-Mobile-Design-Story-Galaxy-Z-Fold6-and-Flip6_Ultra-Modern-Ultra-Sleek_main8-768x548.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 herald a new beginning for the Galaxy Z series with designs that focus on the essence of what they are. Encapsulating the very nature of what Galaxy seeks to be with even greater boldness and style, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 are poised to shape the future of foldables.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A trip to Paris isn’t complete without a photo of the Eiffel Tower. But those traveling alone will face the classic dilemma — take a selfie with the landmark in the background or ask another tourist to take the picture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever traveled abroad and tried to order a coffee or dessert in an unfamiliar city, only to be stumped because of the language barrier?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_19604" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-19604 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Interpreter.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Interpreter.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Interpreter-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Interpreter-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Interpreter</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to Galaxy AI’s <strong>Interpreter </strong>feature, users will never feel lost in a foreign city again. First introduced on the Galaxy S24 series, Interpreter has since been optimized for use on foldables. With the Galaxy Z Flip6 in FlexMode, users can enjoy real-time conversations with someone speaking a different language through translations displayed on both the Cover Screen and Main Screen. In <strong>Conversation Mode</strong>, face-to-face communication is more natural since each person’s native language is displayed on the screen that is visible to them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_19605" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-19605 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Listening-Mode.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Listening-Mode.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Listening-Mode-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Listening-Mode-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Listening Mode</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unlock the power of <strong>Listening Mode</strong> when attending a foreign language lecture or traveling to other countries. When you activate this feature, the lecture or the tour guide that you’re hearing will be translated into text in real time. You can also pair your Galaxy Buds3 for simultaneous audio translation. Now, language doesn’t need to be a barrier when it comes to communicating with people speaking in different languages.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_19606" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-19606 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Suggested-Replies.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Suggested-Replies.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Suggested-Replies-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Suggested-Replies-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Suggested replies</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Struggling to come up with a thoughtful response to a text message or send a reply while on the move? <strong>Suggested replies</strong> leverages Galaxy AI to offer fitting responses based on recent conversations for users to easily send from the FlexWindow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_19607" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-19607 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Composer-e1720717783148.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Composer</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Chat Assist </strong>helps users with grammar, spelling, punctuation and overall writing style when emailing coworkers or posting on social media. Galaxy AI analyzes the text and provides edits and suggestions for different contexts and situations. When there’s no time to write a long email, <strong>Composer </strong>is here to help. Just activate the email app, input concise keywords or phrases — such as &#8220;inquiring about booking a train ticket to Seoul this weekend&#8221; — and click “Create.” Composer will then generate a detailed email, complete with a greeting and main body.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Editorial-Welcome-to-the-New-Era-of-Mobile-AI_main1-F.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Developing the Galaxy S24 series has been the most rewarding period of my career. As an engineer, I have witnessed many examples of incredible innovations, but AI is the most transformative technology of the century. Few engineers get the chance to be involved in something with such seismic potential. It brings great change, not only for Samsung and the mobile industry but for all humankind.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When integrated into phones, AI is, to put it simply, a revolution. This is a new era for mobile experiences and Samsung Galaxy has a leading role to play in it. Mobile devices will become the primary access point for AI, and Samsung Galaxy — with our broad and comprehensive product portfolio, heritage of innovation and philosophy of open collaboration — is in a great position to accelerate its global expansion. We will make mobile AI easy to access and ignite new possibilities for all.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Opening Up New Possibilities</strong></h3>
<p>As we pioneer groundbreaking experiences in mobile AI, we’ve thought a lot about how this new and exciting technology can enhance our lives and inspire society’s next steps. Applied with care and consideration, Galaxy AI<sup>1</sup> helps people communicate beyond borders, complete everyday tasks easily and so much more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since the launch of the Galaxy S24 series, we’ve had great feedback about how people actually use Galaxy AI features in their daily lives. One of the most welcomed AI features is Circle to Search<sup>2</sup> with Google, an incredible new tool for intuitive discovery. Our communication tools for removing language barriers, such as Live Translate,<sup>3</sup> Chat Assist<sup>4</sup> and Interpreter, have captured the imagination of many. People also love Photo Assist, our tool for creativity powered by our ProVisual Engine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Again, we’re only getting started. While developing the Galaxy S24 series, we had many ideas and concepts that we wanted to bring to life. Galaxy users will be able to enjoy more Galaxy AI features that build on these ideas and concepts over time as Samsung continuously enhances and grows the mobile AI experience.<sup>5</sup></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Moreover, we are already planning next steps for Galaxy AI beyond smartphones — optimizing it for various categories of devices across various services. In the near future, select Galaxy wearables will use AI to enhance digital health and unlock a whole new era of expanded, intelligent health experiences. Samsung will keep enriching and expanding Galaxy AI experiences across categories through collaborations with more industry-leading AI partners.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Next Big Thing Is YOU</strong></h3>
<p>Over the past year, we frequently asked ourselves what users want or need and what they could achieve with a little assistance. These questions inspired the Galaxy S24 series, our first AI phone that invites users to imagine how their lives could change thanks to AI. It is the phone of the future — shaping the standard of mobile AI and defining this emerging category of AI phones.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of course, there are challenges and responsibilities to consider. AI models in training are still susceptible to hallucinations, and the debate on intellectual property rights continues. It is crucial that companies openly collaborate to carefully define AI experiences, so users can confidently and reliably enjoy their new abilities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s also important to raise the standards of security and privacy in this new era of data-intensive mobile experiences. That is one of the reasons we’ve taken a hybrid approach that combines on-device and cloud-based AI. Besides ensuring seamless usability, this lets users limit some features to function entirely on-device, giving them greater control over what they do with their data. We remain committed to enhancing Galaxy device security and privacy by providing users with transparency and choice.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this new era of mobile AI, it is no longer a question of what any phone can do, but what individuals can achieve with the right tools. The Galaxy S24 series provides just some of those tools and I can’t wait to see what you will do with them. It is you who decides what’s possible, useful and meaningful. The next chapter of mobile experiences does not belong to us. It belongs to you, our Samsung Galaxy users.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><em><sup>1</sup> Galaxy AI features will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices. Different terms may apply for AI features provided by third parties.<br />
<sup>2</sup> Results may vary depending on visual matches. Requires internet connection. Users may need to update Android to the latest version. Product functionality may be dependent on your app and device settings. Some functions may not be compatible with certain apps. Availability of the service varies by country and language. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed.<br />
<sup>3</sup> Live Translate requires a network connection and Samsung Account login. Live Translate is only available on the pre-installed Samsung Phone app. Calls must be made using the native Samsung dialer. Certain languages may require language pack download. Service availability may vary by language. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed.<br />
<sup>4</sup> Requires Samsung account log in and internet connection.<br />
<sup>5</sup> Features and supported devices to be confirmed. Some Galaxy AI features already announced for Galaxy S24 series will be available on Galaxy S23 series, S23 FE, Z Fold 5, Z Flip5 and Tab S9 series via software updates. Availability may differ depending on model and region.</em></span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The AI future we’ve long been promised is now within reach. Literally.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s AI that tags along throughout your workday. On your commute to the office, it suggests an eloquent response to your boss’s email. In the afternoon, it live translates a call with your global team and provides a summary and transcript immediately after. At night, it helps you archive all the resources and materials you gathered during another dizzying day of multitasking — in seconds.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For all the talk about AI transforming work, the game changer for the workforce is AI that goes everywhere you go. In other words, AI that’s as mobile as your mobile device.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Enter Galaxy S24, the first AI-powered phone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Galaxy S24, Samsung is harnessing AI to deliver new dimensions of personal convenience, productivity and communication into our daily lives. The impact will be profound in the world of work, where being productive on the go has become part of the job.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here’s how several of the device’s features, powered by Galaxy AI, transform how we work:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Removing Communications Barriers</strong></h3>
<p>Businesses today routinely link up across borders and time zones to pursue new market opportunities. Accuracy and speed are a must, but international communication can create misunderstanding, swirl and delays. Galaxy S24 helps professionals collaborate more effectively whether they’re at the office, working from home or somewhere in between.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Real-time, two-way translation on conference calls</strong>: You’re setting up a conference call with a potential business partner in an overseas company. You want it to go as smoothly as possible, but you’re concerned about the language barriers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S24’s <strong>Live Translate</strong> translates phone conversations in real time, ensuring you’ll be as clear, creative and professional with overseas colleagues or clients as you’d be in your own language. Offered in 13 languages at launch, Live Translate provides two-way translation on both devices, even if one party isn’t using a Galaxy — or even a smartphone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AI-in-Your-Pocket_main1.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Translated and tailored tone for professional emails or texts:</strong> It’s your first day in a new job, and you want to make a good impression in your first email to your colleagues.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Galaxy S24’s <strong>Chat Assist</strong>, you’re offered different AI-generated options on how to restructure your message and writing style, so you get the tone just right. Whether it’s drafting a catchy social media post or a formal email to your boss, this feature is accessible right from the Samsung Keyboard, so you can use it on any application and make sure you hit the appropriate note every time. And if you’re working with a colleague overseas, Chat Assist’s availability in 13 languages allows you to do all this in a language you don’t even speak.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AI-in-Your-Pocket_main2.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Converse face-to-face without language barriers:</strong> As a small business owner attending an expo on emerging market trends, you spot a renowned expert in your niche from a popular YouTube business page. You want to pick her brain, but you know from the show that she speaks Italian, and you don’t.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Interpreter</strong> takes live translation out of the call app and into the physical world. With this feature, Galaxy S24 becomes a real-time, in-person translator. Because the tool splits the phone screen into two horizontally, each person can show instantly translated text to the other, along with accompanying audio. It also lets you select the language you need and communicate smoothly and professionally with anyone around you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AI-in-Your-Pocket_main3.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Organise Your Phone and Your Thoughts</strong></h3>
<p>Although our phones provide a handy way to capture ideas, research projects and arrange meetings, organising all that on a handheld device can be a challenge. Using responsive Galaxy AI capabilities, however, Galaxy S24 intelligently organises your phone, so you stay focused on the big picture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Keep your documents and plans organised: </strong>Deep into a work project, you realise the relevant resources you need are scattered everywhere: long emails, detailed articles, PDFs and more. If you could pull everything together into one cohesive format, it would save you hours of laborious notetaking and file conversion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to the <strong>Note Assist</strong> feature, you can generate, read and save abridged versions of all your materials in a few taps of your finger, transforming the daily churn of documents into a well-structured archive. By pulling up a document, Note Assist prompts you to save its content straight to your Samsung Notes app. Once there, the feature can auto format the text and correct spelling mistakes before creating a simple or detailed bullet point summary of the whole document above the main text so you can see all the key points at a glance whenever you need to.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AI-in-Your-Pocket_main4.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The feature can also extract and summarise text straight from physical books and papers and can translate notes into other languages, while its Browsing Assist capabilities can turn long, detailed articles into succinct summaries.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Accurately document everything: </strong>It’s a classic dilemma: You’re in an important work meeting, and you need to take detailed notes while at the same time staying focused and making contributions. With Galaxy S24, you can have it both ways.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Transcript Assist</strong> creates full, accurate records of meetings and conversations. Simply record the meeting using the native Samsung voice recording app, and afterwards Transcript Assist will offer to convert it to text, with sentences separated according to individual speakers. Once you’ve got your transcript, you can share it with your colleagues as is, or send it to Samsung Notes and add an AI-generated bullet summary to it using Note Assist.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have pre-existing audio files recorded without Transcript Assist, the feature can convert these files to notes using Text to Audio.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When it comes to work, the power of having AI on our mobile devices goes beyond automating mundane tasks. Galaxy S24 illustrates how technology can dramatically improve how we work, think and create — by being indispensable, mobile and close at hand.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18354" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl5.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl5.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl5-796x563.jpg 796w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl5-768x543.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and <span><a href="https://www.corning.com/worldwide/en.html">Corning Incorporated</a></span> (NYSE: GLW) has announced that Galaxy S24 Ultra devices will feature Corning’s new Corning® Gorilla® Armor cover material. Gorilla Armor offers durability and visual clarity, delivering a rich display in sunlight and greater protection against damage caused by daily wear.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>Empowering everyday experiences, from barrier-free communication to awe-inspiring creativity to the power for even more possibilities, Galaxy AI transforms the iconic S Series for the future.</em></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.</strong>, has proudly unveiled the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24, unleashing new mobile experiences with Galaxy AI<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[i]</sup></span></a>. This ground-breaking <span>Galaxy S Series leads the way into a new era that will forever change how mobile devices empower users. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI amplifies nearly every experience on Galaxy S24 series, from enabling barrier-free communication with intelligent text and call translations, to maximizing creative freedom with Galaxy’s ProVisual Engine, to setting a new standard for search that will change how Galaxy users discover the world around them.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The global electronics giant is also thrilled to announce the pre-order availability of its highly anticipated AI-powered Galaxy S24 Series. Officially hitting the South African market on Friday, 14 February 2024, local customers can secure their Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+, or Galaxy S24 during the pre-order period, which opens on January 31 and runs through to 29 February 2024. Customers who pre-order any device from the Galaxy S24 Series through participating mobile operators can get a Galaxy Tab S9 FE, starting from just R99 per month<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The Galaxy S24 Series transforms our connection with the world and ignites the next decade of mobile innovation,” said: TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. &#8220;Galaxy AI is built on our innovation heritage and deep understanding of how people use their phones. We are excited to see how our users around the world empower their everyday lives with Galaxy AI to open up new possibilities.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18350" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl1-e1705525946921.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Make Every day Experiences Epic</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligence aimed at enhancing every part of life, especially the phone’s most fundamental role: communication. When you need to defy language barriers, Galaxy S24 makes it easier than ever.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Chat with another student or colleague from abroad. Book a reservation while on vacation in another country. It is all possible with <strong>Live Translate<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[ii]</sup></span></a></strong>, two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls within the native app. No third-party apps are required, and on-device AI keeps conversations completely private.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With <strong>Interpreter</strong>, live conversations can be instantly translated on a split-screen view so people standing opposite each other can read a text transcription of what the other person has said. It even works without cellular data or Wi-Fi. For messages and other apps,<strong> Chat Assist </strong>can help perfect conversational tones to ensure communication sounds as it was intended: like a polite message to a co-worker or a short and catchy phrase for a social media caption<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[iii]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI built into Samsung Keyboard can also translate messages in real-time in 13 languages<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[iv]</sup></span></a>. In the car, <strong>Android Auto<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[v]</sup></span></a></strong> will automatically summarise incoming messages and suggest relevant replies and actions, like sending someone your ETA, so you can stay connected while staying focused on the road.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Organisation also gets a big boost with <strong>Note Assist<a href="#_edn6" name="_ednref6"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[vi]</sup></span></a> </strong>in Samsung Notes, featuring AI-generated summaries, template creation that streamlines notes with pre-made formats, and cover creation to make notes easy to spot with a brief preview. For voice recordings, even when there are multiple speakers, <strong>Transcript Assist<a href="#_edn7" name="_ednref7"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[vii]</sup></span></a></strong> uses AI and Speech-to-Text technology to transcribe, summarise and even translate recordings.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Communication is not the only way Galaxy S24 Series takes the fundamental benefits of the phone into the future. Online search has transformed nearly every aspect of life. Galaxy S24 marks another milestone in the history of search as the innovative phone to debut intuitive, gesture-driven <strong>Circle to Search<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[viii]</sup></span></a></strong> with Google. To give Galaxy users an incredible new tool, Galaxy turned to one of the worldwide trailblazers of search, Google, and opened up new forms of discovery with a simple gesture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With a long press on the home button, users can circle, highlight, scribble on, or tap anything on Galaxy S24’s screen to see helpful, high-quality search results. Seeing a beautiful landmark in the background of a friend’s social media post or a surprising fun fact on YouTube Shorts can quickly become an accurate search to learn more – without having to leave that app. And depending on a user‘s location, for certain searches, generative AI-powered overviews can provide helpful information and context pulled together from across the web, and users can ask more complex and nuanced questions. It is that easy. And that epic.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18351" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl2-e1705525373329.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Unleash Creativity to Discover the World in New Ways</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy S24 Series’s <strong>ProVisual Engine<a href="#_edn9" name="_ednref9"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[ix]</sup></span></a></strong> is a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools that transform image capturing abilities and maximise creative freedom every step of the way, from setting up a shot all the way to sharing it on social. Gone are shaky, pixelated images taken from far away. Galaxy S24 Ultra’s <strong>Quad Tele System</strong>, with new <strong>5x optical zoom</strong> lens, works with the 50MP sensor to enable optical-quality performance at zoom levels from 2x, 3x, 5x to 10x<a href="#_edn10" name="_ednref10"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[x]</sup></span></a> magnification thanks to Adaptive Pixel Sensor. Images also show crystal clear results at 100x with <strong>enhanced digital zoom.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With upgraded <strong>Nightography </strong>capabilities, photos and videos shot on Galaxy S24 Space Zoom are brilliant in any conditions, even when zoomed in. Capture more light in dim conditions with Galaxy S24 Ultra’s larger pixel size, now 1.4 μm, which is 60% bigger<a href="#_edn11" name="_ednref11"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xi]</sup></span></a>  compared to the previous model. Blur is reduced on Galaxy S24 Ultra with wider optical image stabiliser (OIS) angles and enhanced hand-shake compensation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When recording videos, both front and rear cameras are equipped with Dedicated ISP Block for noise reduction, and Galaxy S24 analyses gyro information to distinguish between the filmer’s movement and the subject’s. This allows more effective noise removal and clear videos in the dark, even from far away.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18352" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl3-e1705525520634.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" /></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>After great shots are captured, innovative <strong>Galaxy AI editing tools</strong> enable simple edits like erase, re-compose, and remaster. For easier and more efficient optimisations, <strong>Edit Suggestion<a href="#_edn12" name="_ednref12"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xii]</sup></span></a> </strong>uses Galaxy AI to suggest perfectly suitable tweaks for each photo. To give users even more creative control and freedom, <strong>Generative Edit<a href="#_edn13" name="_ednref13"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xiii]</sup></span></a> </strong>can fill in parts of an image background with generative AI. When a picture is crooked, AI will fill in the borders.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When an object needs to be slightly moved to be in the perfect position, AI lets users adjust the position of the subject and generates a blended background in its original spot. Anytime Galaxy S24 deploys generative AI to amplify an image, a watermark will appear on the image and in metadata. And if an action-packed video needs to be slowed down, new <strong>Instant Slow-mo </strong>can generate additional frames based on movements to smoothly slow down action-packed moments for a more detailed look.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18353" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl4.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl4.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl4-796x563.jpg 796w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl4-768x543.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>To ensure every image stuns at every stage,<strong> Super HDR</strong> reveals lifelike <strong>previews</strong> before the shutter is ever pressed. And while capturing memories is an essential phone feature, sharing memories with the world is just as meaningful. Now, <strong>third-party social apps </strong>make the most of Galaxy’s AI-powered camera system.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Premium Galaxy S Series camera features now integrate directly with mobile apps in HDR to level up social sharing<a href="#_edn14" name="_ednref14"><span><sup>[xiv]</sup></span></a>. When it is time to find an image in <strong>Gallery </strong>or Instagram feed and reels, photos and videos are also shown in Super HDR for a more lifelike range of brightness, colour and contrast by analysing highlighted section of the images.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy’s Most Intelligent Experience Ever, Powered by Premium Performance</strong></h3>
<p>As AI becomes a more prominent part of everyday life, performance power must excel to meet the demands. Gaming. Heavy-duty video recording and editing. Jumping between five apps to plan a trip. Whatever the task, Galaxy S24 provides an incredible experience thanks to enhancements in its chipset<a href="#_edn15" name="_ednref15"><span><sup>[xv]</sup></span></a>, display and more. Every Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with <strong>Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy<a href="#_edn16" name="_ednref16"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xvi]</sup></span></a></strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Optimised especially for Galaxy users, this chipset delivers remarkable NPU improvement for incredibly efficient AI processing. In all three Galaxy S24 models, <strong>1-120Hz</strong> <strong>adaptive refresh rates</strong> also improve performance efficiency. Galaxy gaming is more powerful thanks to hardware and software improvements. Galaxy S24 Ultra boast an optimal thermal control system with a 1.9 times larger <strong>vapor chamber<a href="#_edn17" name="_ednref17"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xvii]</sup></span></a></strong>, improving device surface temperature, while also maximising sustained performance power.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ray tracing enables life-like visuals with superior shadow and reflection effect. And through collaboration with formidable gaming partners, Galaxy S24 lets users enjoy more optimised, popular global mobile games. Visuals are more vibrant and captivating on the brightest Galaxy display ever<a href="#_edn18" name="_ednref18"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xviii]</sup></span></a>. Galaxy S24 reaches 2,600nit peak brightness and delivers improved outdoor visibility with Vision Booster.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18354" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl5.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl5.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl5-796x563.jpg 796w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Galaxy-S24-Series_dl5-768x543.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the display, Corning® Gorilla® Armor<a href="#_edn19" name="_ednref19"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xix]</sup></span></a> on the Galaxy S24 Ultra is optically enhanced and strives to demonstrate superior durability against damage caused by every day scratches. It delivers dramatically reduced reflection by up to 75% in a wide range of lighting conditions, ensuring a smooth, comfortable viewing experience. Across the Galaxy S24 Series, design enhancements with slimmer and even bezels make it easier to immerse in any viewing experience and enable larger screen sizes on Galaxy S24+’s 6.7-inch and Galaxy S24’s 6.2-inch displays within nearly the same size specifications<a href="#_edn20" name="_ednref20"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xx]</sup></span></a>. Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 6.8-inch flatter display, optimised not just for viewing but also for productivity. Plus, Galaxy S24+ now supports the same level of QHD+ found on Galaxy S24 Ultra.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Advanced Security and Privacy Empowers User Choice and Trust </strong></h3>
<p>Secured by <strong>Samsung Knox</strong>, Galaxy’s defense-grade, multi-layer security platform, Galaxy S24 safeguards critical information and protects against vulnerabilities with end-to-end secure hardware, real-time threat detection and collaborative protection. Samsung’s long-standing commitment to provide users choice and control over their device continues in the era of AI. Galaxy S24 users have full controllability over how much they allow their data to enhance AI experiences, through <strong>Advanced Intelligence</strong> settings, which can disable online processing of data for AI features.<a href="#_edn21" name="_ednref21"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxi]</sup></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <strong>Knox </strong><strong>Matrix<a href="#_edn22" name="_ednref22"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxii]</sup></span></a></strong> vision of a secure, connected and password-less future is also advanced with passkeys. <strong>Passkeys</strong> enable convenient and secure access to a users’ registered websites and apps across all their trusted devices through digital credentials, helping protect against phishing attacks.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Enhanced Data Protection</strong> offers end-to-end encryption when users backup, sync or restore their data with Samsung Cloud, allowing Galaxy S24 users to connect to other devices while staying synchronised and secure. This is in an effort to ensure that data can only be encrypted or decrypted on a user’s devices, meaning nobody can see it but the user, even if a server is compromised or account details are stolen. And if access to a trusted device is lost, a recovery code can help prevent loss of data.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S24 is also protected with Samsung’s expansive list of innovative security and privacy features including Knox Vault, Security &amp; Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Secure Wi-Fi, Private Share, Maintenance Mode and more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Next Phase of Samsung’s Environmental Journey</strong></h3>
<p>Establishing a new category of mobile experiences also means re-imagining how Galaxy technology is designed and packaged to do more with less for people and the planet. Galaxy S24 continues to scale the variety of recycled materials in Galaxy devices by applying recycled plastics, glass and aluminium to internal and external components<a href="#_edn23" name="_ednref23"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxiii]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It also takes these efforts one step further. For the first time, Galaxy S24 features components made with <strong>recycled cobalt and rare earth elements<a href="#_edn24" name="_ednref24"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxiv]</sup></span></a>. In Galaxy S24 Ultra, a minimum of 50% recycled cobalt was used in the battery<a href="#_edn25" name="_ednref25"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxv]</sup></span></a>, and 100% recycled rare earth elements were incorporated into the speakers<a href="#_edn26" name="_ednref26"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxvi]</sup></span></a>. </strong>Galaxy S24 is also the first Galaxy S Series to be designed with<strong> recycled steel and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). </strong>Galaxy S24 Ultra features a minimum of 40% recycled steel in the speakers<a href="#_edn27" name="_ednref27"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxvii]</sup></span></a>, and it includes a minimum of 10% pre-consumer recycled TPU in the side and volume keys. Additionally, every Galaxy S24 comes in a packaging box made from 100% recycled paper material.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The latest flagship continues Samsung’s commitment to extending the product lifecycle, offering <strong>seven generations of OS upgrades</strong> and <strong>seven years of security updates </strong>to help users reliably experience the optimised performance of their Galaxy devices for even longer<a href="#_edn28" name="_ednref28"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxviii]</sup></span></a>. Lastly, Galaxy S24 is UL ECOLOGO<sup>®</sup> certified<a href="#_edn29" name="_ednref29"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxix]</sup></span></a>, and its carbon footprint has been measured and verified by The Carbon Trust<a href="#_edn30" name="_ednref30"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxx]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S24 is a demonstration of progress against Samsung MX&#8217;s environmental roadmap. Samsung remains steadfast in delivering on its set of goals to be achieved by the end of 2025<a href="#_edn31" name="_ednref31"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxxi]</sup></span></a>. At the end of 2022, Samsung achieved the first of these goals by incorporating recycled materials in all mobile products, from Galaxy smartphones and tablets to PCs and wearables. Today, the company is setting a <strong>new recycled material goal</strong>. By 2030, Samsung will incorporate at least one recycled material in every module<a href="#_edn32" name="_ednref32"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxxii]</sup></span></a> of every mobile product.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Precision Technology and Elegance in Every Detail</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy S24 Ultra is the first-ever Galaxy phone to feature a <strong>titanium</strong> frame<a href="#_edn33" name="_ednref33"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxxiii]</sup></span></a>, enhancing device durability and longevity. Galaxy S24 Ultra’s significantly thinner body enables better on-the-go experience with a more comfortable grip. On Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24, a streamlined One-mass design satisfies a more aesthetic standard with seamless connection between the device’s rear cover and side frame.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S24 series comes in Earth mineral-inspired colour tones. On Galaxy S24 Ultra, colours<a href="#_edn34" name="_ednref34"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[xxxiv]</sup></span></a> include: Titanium Gray, Titanium Black, Titanium Violet and Titanium Yellow. On Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 colours include: Onyx Black, Marble Gray, Cobalt Violet and Amber Yellow. All three models will come with additional colours available online only.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, Samsung is offering an enticing trade-in option. Customers who pre-order any device through retail or cash channels, including the Samsung eStore, Samsung Brand Stores, Incredible Connection, Game, Makro, Take-A-Lot will receive a generous R4000 in-store voucher or an impressive R10,000 trade-in cash back<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of the special-pre-order offer, customers can opt for one year of Samsung Care Plus at a reduced rate of R499<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>.
