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.

Tune in on February 1 for more details of Samsung’s advanced Galaxy smartphone that will be announced at Galaxy Unpacked: https://news.samsung.com/za/invitation-galaxy-unpacked-2023-share-the-epic

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 13 September 2022 – To celebrate the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4, Samsung has launched their Pop-Up experience, the Samsung Galaxy Studio, where consumers can experience an exciting programme with some of South Africa’s best-known DJs, artists and influencers.

The experiential activation kicked off on 09 September 2022 at the Mall of Africa in Johannesburg and will stay open to the public until September 18, 2022. The Galaxy Studio unleashes all levels of awesome with experience zones consisting of multi-angled camera features that allow consumers to flex their unique styles. There will also be a ‘curate your vibe’ section and a pop-up boutique offering all sorts of Samsung limited edition accessories and rewards, as well as the ecosystem wall for consumers to experience and enjoy devices first-hand.

To add to the excitement, Samsung has partnered with Primedia Broadcasting in the exciting launch of Galaxy 947 Move music festival. The DJs and artist line-up for the event are being revealed at the consumer activations, with exclusive live performances, live lucky draws to win tickets to the festival and a dose of electrifying moments that will also be streamed live from the venue.

The Samsung Galaxy Studio will also be at the following malls:
23 September 2022 – 2 October 2022: Gateway Theatre of Shopping, Umhlanga, KZN
21 October 2022 – 30 October2022: Canal Walk, Century City, Cape Town

As the way we work becomes more flexible, the trend of mobile workers — or those who work on-the-go — is becoming more common. As the popularity of working from anywhere around South Africa increases, so too does the demand for mobile devices that empower this working style. Consumers have high expectations for Samsung Electronics’ newly-launched Galaxy Z Fold4 as it allows users to expand their workspace, based on the device’s many features.

Samsung Newsroom has put together this guide for users to take advantage of the features of Galaxy Z Fold4, which delivers a lighter, more convenient and more efficient workplace on-the-go.

Do More with Your Smartphone’s Lighter Weight and Wider Display

It’s gotten smaller but wider — Galaxy Z Fold4 is still as compact as ever, with its even lighter weight and thinner hinge and bezels. When you unfold your phone, the device’s even wider display delivers an immersive experience that can transform your current surroundings into a workspace anytime, anywhere. The UDC (Under Display Camera), located under the screen, helps you focus on your work by minimizing factors distracting your field of vision.

Thanks to the device’s 7.6-inch wide screen, you can even conveniently edit documents full of text. Just like using a small tablet PC, you can handle a variety of tasks that are more complex than simply reading or sending e-mails with your smartphone.

Galaxy Z Fold4’s Cover Screen has also gotten wider, making it even more convenient to use. The width of the Cover Screen has increased while the length has decreased, making the aspect ratio similar to that of other conventional smartphones. In addition, the phone has become thinner when folded, providing enhanced grip experience. Thanks to the wider width, you can comfortably enjoy most features, such as typing letters or watching videos, without ever needing to unfold your phone.

Virtually Work Efficiently from Anywhere in South Africa with Enhanced Multitasking Features

The most striking characteristics of Galaxy Z Fold4 are its enhanced multitasking features. Along with the wider screen, the new Taskbar[i] feature and Multi-window help you get your remote work done fast and efficiently — as if you are using a laptop.

The Taskbar is a newly added feature, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t familiar. The Taskbar looks and functions just like the layout you are used to seeing on a PC. You can even add frequently used apps to personalize your Taskbar: All the apps saved as favourites on your home screen will also appear on the Taskbar.

You can fully take advantage of the wider display by utilizing Multi-window, which lets you simultaneously view up to three windows on the screen. If you’d like to open another app while using a different application, simply drag and drop the app from the Taskbar to somewhere on the side, top or bottom of the screen. You can also easily switch screens between apps or change the layout with its intuitive UI.

If you have a combination of apps that you frequently use together, then the App Pair feature will help you save time. With the App Pair feature, you can save up to three apps as a single group on the Taskbar. Using this feature will get rid of the hassle of having to launch each app and display each one of them on a split screen.

Use the S Pen to Work with Precision and Speed

With the S Pen[ii] for Galaxy Z Fold4, you can precisely control your mobile device as if working with a mouse on a PC. You can conveniently take notes on a large screen just as you would on a tablet, and you can also select only the necessary parts, such as text, links or photos to quickly copy and paste.

Make the Most of Work and Play at Every Angle

With Flex mode[iii], you can make the most of your foldable phone by freely changing the angle according to your needs. For instance, by taking advantage of Galaxy Z Fold4’s multitasking features, you can launch multiple apps at the same time. You can use one window of the screen for a video call and another window to take notes on important information, all while also looking at a meeting material on the screen.

Taking a break is just as important as working efficiently. When it’s time to step away, try turning over your screen filled with work-related apps and instead watching a video on the Cover Screen to lighten your mood. Thanks to the thin bezels and the aspect ratio optimized for the Cover Screen, you can have an immersive experience while watching a video. With Flex mode, you can adjust your Galaxy Z Fold4 to best fit any situation.

Capture Work, Play and Everything in Between

Galaxy Z Fold4’s various features stand out whether you’re on or off the clock. For instance, during break time, you can enjoy watching videos or playing games on a large, immersive screen that brings your content to life. Small but important details such as the UDC (Under Display Camera), where the camera is placed under the screen, help minimize on-screen distractions and allow you to fully dive into the game.

In addition, Galaxy Z Fold4 users can also take advantage of the device’s large screen while snapping pictures. The larger image sensor and upgraded resolution enable high-quality shooting day or night. By enabling “Cover Screen preview,” the portrait can simultaneously check the preview on the Cover Screen while “Capture View” allows you to check the photos taken while using the camera.

Another notable feature that takes advantage of Capture View is the Zoom Map. With larger Zoom Map activated automatically on the Capture View area when the rear camera is magnified by 30 times or more, it allows you to compare the magnified image and the original image ratio side by side at a glance. Typically, locating a subject while zoomed in is difficult, as the quality lowers and small movements come across as very shaky on camera. However, larger Zoom Map makes it possible to locate a subject quickly and easily to capture that perfect shot.

Galaxy Z Fold4 pushes the limits of mobile devices with its wide screen and various multitasking functions. If you’re a mobile worker who values the convenience and flexibility of working from anywhere, then we recommend Galaxy Z Fold 4 for your ultimate experience in on-the-go workplace productivity. However, whether you’re on or off the clock, you can still take advantage of Galaxy Z Fold4 features to make the most of your daily routine.

[i]Taskbar feature supported on the main screen only

[ii] S Pen sold separately.

[iii] Flex mode supported at angles between 75° and 115°. Flex mode must first be activated via Labs in Settings. Certain applications may not support Flex mode.

JOHANNESBURG, 31 August 2022 – It’s off with the masks and on with the sunscreen, sporty caps and slipslops as this year’s Joburg Day promises to be a sweltering event on all counts.

From the hottest in local music to a fabulous new format, 947 listeners are in for an unbelievable treat.

Primedia has partnered with Samsung South Africa to bring you a game-changing event that runs not just for one day but two and will be rebranded as the Samsung Galaxy 947 Move, a music festival with a lot on the go.

“We’re excited to give our listeners more by doubling-up on what they have ever had before in terms of Joburg Day. There’ll be two days where Gen MZers get to optimise enjoyment as they embrace the whole lifestyle vibe with cutting edge mobile devices adding to the experience,” says Primedia Broadcasting CEO, Randall Abrahams.

The first day will be hosted by 947’s Chris Beatz and some of SA’s finest DJs across various genres including Dance, Hip Hop and Amapiano! Some of South Africa’s top bands will also belt out their popular hits so you can really party.

As announced at the launch event on Anele and the Club, 947 and Samsung will be hosting some of the old favourites Mi Casa and Shekhinah and Zakes Bantwini and Cassper Nyovest, not seen at the event before. “We’re also excited to announce the new venue at Prime View Adventure and Leisure, Olifantsfontein,” Abrahams adds. Booking is available for both days or just one at Ticketpro.co.za.

Justin Hume Vice President of Mobile Experience, Samsung South Africa, says, “Samsung’s foldables have always changed the game and this year is no exception. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 are bringing a completely new perspective to the world of smartphones. Samsung is excited to partner with 947 in yet another collaboration, where together, we’re flipping the script and redefining the way you experience your favourite music”.

Two completely unique smartphones, with one huge similarity – letting you unfold a completely new world of greater experiences. They don’t just change shape they change your behavior – once you’ve flexed, there’s no going back to flat. Galaxy 947 Move is more than an event, it is an experience and even greater than before.

Samsung has announced the next generation of ground-breaking foldable smartphones: Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4. Both devices feature customisable form factors, tailored experiences, and upgraded performance. Now in its fourth generation, Galaxy Z series continues to break from convention to deliver new, impactful interactions that enhance everyday life.

“Samsung Galaxy foldables are built on the foundation of our openness philosophy, enabling new possibilities with complete customisation both inside and out. Created in collaboration with our world-class partners, the next foldable devices offer unparalleled mobile experiences that meet the needs of our most dynamic users,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through our unwavering focus, excitement for the foldables continues to grow. We’ve successfully transformed this category from a radical project to a mainstream device line-up and enjoyed by people worldwide.”

As a testament to Samsung’s dedication to superior craftsmanship, every component in both form factors has been thoroughly analysed to deliver a truly optimised experience to ensure that every consumer has a device to fit their needs. The Galaxy Z Flip4 builds on the success of Samsung’s iconic form factor, adding key features, including an upgraded camera experience, a larger battery^[1] and expanded customisation, while maintaining its ultra-compact design. The Galaxy Z Fold4 opens up new possibilities for users by delivering Samsung’s most comprehensive smartphone experience to-date, offering shape-shifting design, immersive displays and PC-like multitasking features, in addition to advanced camera technology and powerful mobile processors.

Galaxy Z Flip4, the Ultimate Self-expression Tool Inside and Out

The Galaxy Z Flip4 enhances our users’ favourite features, making it the ultimate tool for self-expression. Its compact clamshell design offers unique experiences, so you can shoot hands-free video or capture full group selfies at various angles by partially folding Z Flip4 to activate FlexCam^[2]. These can even be enjoyed on users’ favourite apps^[3]. Thanks to Samsung’s partnership with Meta, FlexCam is optimised for popular social platforms, including Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook. Do more than ever with Z Flip4 by taking high-quality selfies right from the Cover Screen by leveraging the main camera with the upgraded Quick Shot. Start high-quality video recording in Quick Shot mode and then seamlessly switch to Flex mode to continue recording hands-free without stopping the video – ideal for content creators and vloggers. The users are now able to take selfies in Portrait Mode and see preview in actual photo ratio when using Quick Shot. With an upgraded camera equipped with a 65 percent brighter sensor^[4] powered by the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, photos and videos are crisper and more stable – day or night.

Z Flip4 is crafted to go truly hands-free – doing more without ever opening the phone. Make calls, reply to texts, unlock the car^[5] and even control the SmartThings Scene widget^[6], all from the Cover Screen.

Galaxy Z Flip4 can capture, watch and connect longer between charges with the expanded 3,700mAh battery^[7]. With Super-Fast Charging, now supported on Z Flip4, charge up to 50 percent in around 30 minutes^[8], keeping users connected when they’re running low.

With the slimmer hinge, straightened edges, contrasting hazed back glass and glossy metal frames, the design is our most refined yet. The users can fully customise the Z Flip4 inside and out, with Galaxy Themes on both Cover and Main Screen to complement their style with custom fonts, icons and designs. Plus, users can create their own Cover Screen with new clock designs and backgrounds in various formats such as images, GIFs and even video^[9].

Galaxy Z Fold4, a Multi-Tasking Powerhouse with Ultimate Performance

The Galaxy Z Fold4 is the result of Samsung Galaxy’s enduring smartphone innovation and our most powerful smartphone yet. Z Fold4 combines Samsung’s collective mobile technology expertise to create a device with increased functionality whether opened, closed, or in Flex mode^[10]. Furthermore, it is Samsung’s first device to ship with Android 12L, a special version of Android created by Google for large-screen experiences, including foldables.

Multitasking on Z Fold4 is easier than ever, so users can get more done on the move. The new Taskbar^[11] provides a layout similar to your PC, offering access to your favourite and recent apps. Multitasking is also more intuitive, thanks to new swipe gestures^[12]. Instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split your screen in half for more ways to multitask^[13].

Samsung’s partnerships with Google and Microsoft take multitasking to the next level. Google apps, including Chrome and Gmail now support drag-and-drop, allowing users to quickly copy and paste links, photos and more from one app to another. With Google Meet, users can now connect with more people while enjoying virtual co-activities, including co-watching videos on YouTube or playing games together on a video call^[14]. Microsoft’s full Office suite and Outlook take advantage of the foldable display, providing more information on the screen and faster ways to interact with the content. The multitasking experience is complete with S Pen^[15] functionality, enabling on-the-go drawing and notetaking with streamlined storage inside the Standing Cover with Pen case^[16].

Galaxy Z Fold4 takes stunning photos and videos with an upgraded 50MP wide lens and 30x Space Zoom^[17] lens. A variety of camera modes, including the larger Zoom map activated on Capture View Mode, Dual Preview, and Rear Cam Selfie are custom-built to take advantage of the unique form factor for increased capturing flexibility. And with the larger pixel size, a 23 percent brighter sensor^[18], and enhanced processing power, users can capture clear images even at night.

Content is even more immersive and distinctive on the 7.6-inch Main Screen^[19] with a brighter screen, a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate^[20], and a less visible Under Display Camera (UDC) featuring a new scatter-type sub-pixel arrangement. Popular social media apps like Facebook are optimised for the large-screen experience to make content more enjoyable. Or open your favourite streaming entertainment service apps like Netflix^[21] and watch hands-free with Flex mode. For non-optimised apps, users can even control the device without disrupting the content with the new Flex Mode Touchpad^[22], offering accuracy while pausing, rewinding, and playing videos, or zooming in and out of content while the device is in Flex mode.

Games are snappier too thanks to the powerful Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform and hyper-fast 5G^[23]. With a slimmer hinge, lighter weight, and even narrower bezels, the wider screen enables easier one-handed interactions while using the Cover Screen^[24].

Samsung continues its barrier-defying innovation journey to deliver the level of durability consumers expect, both in and out. With our Armour Aluminium frames and hinge cover along with exclusive Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ on the Cover Screen and rear glass, Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 are our toughest foldables ever. Durability of the Main Screen panel is also enhanced thanks to the optimised layer structure, helping to reduce damage from external shock. In addition, both Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 are equipped with IPX8^[25] water resistance, so users can worry less if they get caught in the rain.

Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Premium Design with the Ultimate Listening Experience

Joining the Galaxy Z series are Galaxy Buds2 Pro – Samsung’s new top-of-the-line earbuds that provide Samsung’s most immersive wireless audio experience with a new, compact design, and seamless connectivity that is perfect for any aspect of your everyday life.

Appreciate every musical interlude with superior Hi-Fi 24bit Audio^[26], which offers high-dynamic range helping you feel connected to the content you’re listening to with crystal-clear resolution. With the new Samsung seamless codec^[27](SSC HiFi), quality music is enabled to transfer without a pause, and the new coaxial 2-way speaker makes those sounds richer than ever.

³⁹The new compact, ergonomic design is 15 percent smaller^[28], with a secure fit that is engineered to prevent rotation, making it the perfect fitness companion. Take calls on-the-go with powerful ANC^[29] to eliminate outside noise. The new Buds2 Pro allows users to escape into their own world and simultaneously stay connected to their life. ³⁹

When you need to answer an urgent call while enjoying a gaming session or a movie on your tablet, the Buds2 Pro can seamlessly switch the audio connection to your phone with a touch of a finger. The Buds2 Pro now features Auto Switch^[30] to provide effortless transition from your favourite TV Show to take a call from your loved ones.

And if you happen to misplace your Buds2 Pro on your commute SmartThings Find now makes locating them fast and easy whether they’re inside their cradle or not.

Galaxy for the Planet

Since the launch of the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung has incorporated recycled materials not just in our packaging, but also in the hardware of our new products. These are the first steps in our Galaxy for the Planet initiative, which includes our continued incorporation of recycled plastics and the creation of new materials in partnership with sustainability partners. As we continue to pursue innovations in sustainable manufacturing, we are proud to announce that more than 90% of the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro is made with recycled materials^[31]. The new Galaxy Z series also incorporates ocean-bound plastics into key components and 100 percent recycled paper for its packaging. We also reduced volume of the packaging up to 58%^[32] compared to the first-generation Galaxy foldables. This equates to an avoidance of approximately 10,000 tons of carbon emissions from transportation this year^[33].

Availability

Galaxy Z Flip4 complements users’ styles with premium designs in legacy colours: Bora Purple and Graphite and new colours: Pink Gold and Blue^[34]. The Galaxy Z Fold4 and Standing Cover with Pen^[35] case are offered in refined colours that include Grey Green, Beige and Phantom Black.
