																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced its latest<strong> Galaxy Buds4 Pro </strong>and <strong>Galaxy Buds4</strong>, redefining what premium earbuds can deliver in both superior hi-fi audio and everyday wearability. Built to sound as good as they feel, the Galaxy Buds4 series pairs <strong>exceptional sound quality with a more refined, computationally designed fit</strong>, bringing Samsung’s most advanced audio and wearability innovations together in one seamless experience. For the first time, Buds4 Pro features a <strong>wider woofer</strong>, combined with <strong>enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)</strong> and an <strong>enhanced Adaptive Equalizer (EQ)</strong>, to supply <strong>full-spectrum sound true to the original recording </strong>— while intelligently adapting to real-world conditions. Thoughtful design updates, intuitive hands-free controls, and deeper AI integration further underscore Samsung’s commitment to earbuds designed for how people listen, move and live throughout the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung understands that a truly premium audio experience combines technical sound quality with how that sound feels throughout a user&#8217;s day,” said Ikhyun Cho, Corporate VP of Mobile Enhancement R&amp;D Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the Galaxy Buds4 series, our design philosophy was <strong>uncompromising, providing</strong> all-day comfort <strong>without sacrificing</strong> audio performance, because these are what consumers value most. We engineered our most powerful hi-fi audio and our most secure, ergonomic fit to enhance one another, delivering the <strong>best listening experience we’ve ever created</strong>.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Computational Design </strong><strong>Optimized for</strong><strong> Enhanced Stability and </strong><strong>All-Day </strong><strong>Comfort</strong></h3>
<p>With the Buds4 series, Samsung establishes an iconic Buds blade design identity, a computational design achieved by analyzing data from <strong>hundreds of millions of global ear data points</strong> and running <strong>over 10,000 simulations</strong>.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>1</sup></a> The Buds4 series features an <strong>ultra-sleek, ergonomic fit</strong> with smaller,<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>2</sup></a> better-fitting earbud heads to deliver a more secure, comfortable experience during all-day wear. The new stabilized blade includes a premium metal finish and an engraved pinch control<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>3</sup></a> area to help users easily locate and adjust settings. Additionally, the new transparent clamshell-type cradle makes storage and charging more intuitive and convenient — while also highlighting the refined blade design to deliver a stylish, high-quality listening experience on the go.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 offer distinct design architectures to meet different needs. Galaxy Buds4 Pro features a canal-fit design that combines ultimate sound with maximum functionality. The open-fit design of Galaxy Buds4 delivers a comfortable, user-friendly audio experience. Customers also have the option to choose from several distinct colorways, with Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Buds4 <strong>available in White and Black with a refined matte finish</strong> — as well as an <strong>online-exclusive Pink Gold </strong>for Buds4 Pro.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Superior Hi-Fi Sound With Innovative Hardware Updates</strong></h3>
<p>Larger speakers offer better sound quality, and Buds4 Pro introduces a new <strong>wider woofer</strong>, featuring a new design that makes efficient use of space. By maximizing the vibration area and minimizing thespeaker’s edge, the wider woofer increases the effective speaker area by almost 20%<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>4</sup></a> compared to the previous generation without sacrificing wearability. Combined with the <strong>tweeter</strong>, these features deliver natural, immersive audio with clean bass and rich treble that supports 24-bit/96kHz audio<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>5</sup></a> — ultimately delivering high-fidelity sound true to the original recording. These hardware enhancements capture everything from the high, resonant sounds of violins to the deep, throaty pulses of double basses — details that were difficult to reproduce in earlier generations. The two-way speaker is strategically placed on the upper side of the metal finish to maximize Active Noise Cancellation functionality while minimizing feedback from wind and other external factors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Maximized Audio Experiences With Enhanced Adaptive EQ and ANC</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy Buds4 series offers software updates that build on powerful adaptive sound capabilities users have come to love in previous Buds generations. <strong>Enhanced ANC</strong> can tune out everything from heavy transit sounds to everyday background noise, ensuring an immersive audio experience that adapts to changing environments. For example, when commuting on a bus, train or airplane, Buds4’s enhanced Active Noise Cancellation reduces low-frequency engine and road noise while maintaining rich, balanced sound — allowing users to focus on music, podcasts or calls without distraction.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Enhanced Adaptive</strong> <strong>ANC/EQ</strong><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup>6</sup></a> allows for full media immersion, minimizing noise leakage by analyzing the wearing conditions and unique ear shape of each user. Alongside dynamic frequency adjustments, this feature applies optimal ANC algorithms in real time for peak noise-cancelling performance so users can enjoy fine-tuned sound experiences tailored to their individual needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When it’s time to make a phone call, <strong>Super Clear Call</strong><a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup>7</sup></a> utilizes super wideband call technology and machine learning models trained for noise reduction and voice enhancement to provide ultra-clear call quality and double the bandwidth of conventional Bluetooth calls. Whether users are cheering at a baseball game, dining in a bustling restaurant, or spending time with their children at the playground, their voice remains crisp and clear, ensuring they sound as if they were speaking face-to-face.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>An Enriched Galaxy Ecosystem Experience</strong></h3>
<p>For Galaxy users, the Buds4 series introduces integrations that enhance the Galaxy ecosystem experience. Users can initiate AI agents<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><sup>8</sup></a> — including Bixby,<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><sup>9</sup></a> Google Gemini<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><sup>10</sup></a> and Perplexity — with hands-free and voice controls, helping users stay engaged with their surroundings while maintaining control over their audio experience. Buds4 Pro allows users to access AI features without reaching for their phones, making it easier to integrate AI into their everyday routines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy ecosystem users can also enjoy simple Buds setup.<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><sup>11</sup></a> Just by opening the cradle — without having to install the Galaxy Wearable app — Galaxy users can easily connect their Buds to their phone or tablet. Through the Buds shortcut menu or in the Quick Panel, users can control and customize the volume or EQ for the optimal sound experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Buds4 Pro also includes <strong>Head Gesture</strong><a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><sup>12</sup></a> controls to manage calls and engage with Bixby, allowing users to perform subsequent actions hands-free. Along with voice commands, hands-free controls such as these allow users to navigate their day without distraction, ensuring their daily activities remain seamless and uninterrupted.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Availability</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy Buds4 series, launching with the Galaxy S26 series, is available for pre-order in select markets starting today, with general availability starting March 11.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced that it will unveil its latest kitchen appliances line-up at CES 2026, including the latest iterations of its Bespoke AI refrigerator, over-the-range (OTR) microwave, and slide-in range at <a href="https://www.ces.tech/">CES 2026</a>. Alongside refreshed designs across the line-up, the company will highlight meaningful improvements to vision-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionality enhanced with Google Gemini and Google Cloud, showing how these innovations simplify everyday tasks and elevate the overall kitchen experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“In pioneering the application of vision-based AI technology, Samsung has led innovation in the kitchen appliance market,” said Jeong Seung Moon, Executive Vice President and Head of R&amp;D Team for Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will reach a new level of innovation through this collaboration with Google Cloud and will utilise these ongoing initiatives to continue to deliver better consumer experiences in the upcoming year.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Introducing Samsung’s Latest AI Vision–Equipped Refrigerator</strong></h3>
<p>At CES, Samsung will present a new Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub, equipped with the upgraded AI Vision. The feature’s key upgrade is its functions built with Google Gemini, which marks the first time that it is being integrated into a refrigerator.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Previously, it could recognise up to 37 types of fresh food and 50 types of pre-registered processed food on-device.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> The latest version ready to be unveiled at CES is built to unlock its existing limitations to recognise more food items, offering a comprehensive and flexible experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is planned to even recognise processed foods without separate registration, automatically registering their names to increase convenience. Additionally, Samsung aims to make it detect user-labeled items, foods stored in personal containers can be added to the food list.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With ingredients being identified more accurately, managing the grocery list becomes clearer and easier than before, broadening people’s food-related experiences. At CES, Samsung plans to showcase the enhanced capabilities and new use cases of AI Vision, demonstrating the future of a truly personalised AI kitchen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Enhanced </strong><strong>Wine Management With the New Samsung Bespoke AI Wine Cellar</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung will exhibit the new Bespoke AI Wine Cellar, designed to incorporate an AI Vision built with Google Gemini similar to that of the Bespoke AI Refrigerator.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When users store or remove wine bottles from the wine cellar, a camera positioned at the top of the unit will recognise the labels and tracks bottles, updating the SmartThings AI Wine Manager<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> accordingly. The system will also be able to distinguish the specific shelf and compartment where each bottle is placed, allowing users to easily check locations without searching manually. Through the AI Wine Manager, users will be able to look up wine information more conveniently and receive suggestions on pairings based on the type of wine in their inventory, making wine curation more intuitive and personalised.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Unified Kitchen Aesthetic With an Upgraded Stainless Look</strong><strong>   </strong></h3>
<p>Samsung is also introducing a line-up of French Door refrigerators, slide-in ranges and new OTR microwave models, offering consumers an updated aesthetic and a cohesive stainless-look option for creating a unified kitchen design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Bespoke AI 3-Door French Door refrigerator features a zero clearance fit, which can be installed with side gaps of approximately 4mm.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> Additionally, its door depth has been reduced by 50mm compared to the conventional 3-Door model,<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> enabling full access to drawers and food items with the doors wide open.<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> The AutoView, a transparent door, allows users to easily check items stored in the fridge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The upgraded slide-in range features a completely refreshed design with a stainless-look finish across the control panel, knobs and door. It adopts a new bar handle style, along with a Precision Knob that provides enhanced safety.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung will unveil two different types of OTR microwaves: the Air-Fry OTR and the DualVent OTR. The most significant change comes from the revised hood structure of the DualVent model. Typically, the depth of a cooktop on the range extends farther than that of an OTR, making it difficult for the hood to capture smoke from the front burners. Samsung’s new dual vent system addresses this by adding a front ventilation wing in addition to the bottom ventilation, significantly improving the capture rate compared to the previous model.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Visitors at Samsung&#8217;s booth at CES 2026 will be the first to see these new innovations. Learn more about Samsung’s CES activities <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/ces-2026">here</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[1]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> As of April 2025, AI Vision can recognize 37 food items like fresh fruits and vegetables. If the food is not recognizable, it may be listed as an unknown item. AI Vision cannot identify or list any food items in the fridge door bins or freezer. It recognizes food items based on deep learning models, which may be updated periodically to improve accuracy. AI Vision also recognizes packaged food items that have been saved by the user, and up to 50 items can be saved with designated names. Packaged items are limited to those that keep a certain packaged form.</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[2]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> The recognition functionality is only available for shelves with withdrawal capability. For wine input and output, the label must be exposed to the top camera for proper recognition. Additionally, the multi-pantry drawer provides food storage functionality, and information about the food items stored in these drawers is provided as a separate image.</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[3]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required. Both devices must be signed in with the same Samsung account.</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref4" name="_ftn4"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[4]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Minimum required installation space for a custom built-in setup: [Width] 916 mm or more (Ensure a minimum gap of 4 mm on the left/right sides), [Height] 1798 mm or more (Ensure a minimum gap of 20 mm at the top).</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref5" name="_ftn5"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[5]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Compared to our conventional model without zero clearance fit feature (RF32CG5400**)</span></p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref6" name="_ftn6"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[6]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> The refrigerator door can be open up to 108°, but it depends on the installation environment.</span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has revealed the full specifications of the Galaxy S25 Edge, a category-defining slim smartphone joining the Galaxy S series. Crafted with style and strength in mind, Galaxy S25 Edge strikes a new balance of premium, pro-level performance in a resilient titanium body only 5.8mm thick. S25 Edge delivers on the S series legacy, integrating an iconic Galaxy AI-enabled camera and unleashing a new realm of creativity in an effortlessly portable device.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Galaxy S25 Edge is more than a slim smartphone. The superior engineering that brought this revolutionary smartphone to life illustrates a commitment to overcoming barriers that helps Galaxy deliver truly unexpected premium experiences for people around the world,” said TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “S25 Edge not only marks a breakthrough for its category, but it also accelerates important innovation across the mobile industry.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23698 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S25-Edge-Engineering-Marvel-Slim-Innovation_main1-Final.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="620" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S25-Edge-Engineering-Marvel-Slim-Innovation_main1-Final.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S25-Edge-Engineering-Marvel-Slim-Innovation_main1-Final-908x563.jpg 908w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S25-Edge-Engineering-Marvel-Slim-Innovation_main1-Final-768x476.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Exceptionally Sleek and Strong Design</strong></h3>
<p>With a thin 5.8mm chassis, Galaxy S25 Edge is a remarkable feat of engineering that reimagines nearly every element of smartphone design for an even more compact and convenient experience. Its refined frame bridges form and function at just 163 grams, taking slim smartphones to the next level while staying true to the Galaxy S series’ unified design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23644" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S25-Edge-Engineering-Marvel-Slim-Innovation_dl8.jpg" alt="" width="4500" height="3000" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S25-Edge-Engineering-Marvel-Slim-Innovation_dl8.jpg 4500w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S25-Edge-Engineering-Marvel-Slim-Innovation_dl8-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S25-Edge-Engineering-Marvel-Slim-Innovation_dl8-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S25-Edge-Engineering-Marvel-Slim-Innovation_dl8-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 4500px) 100vw, 4500px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alongside its streamlined silhouette comes exceptional resilience. The optimally curved edges and sturdy titanium frame offer enduring protection for everyday use. The latest <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-galaxy-s25-edge-features-new-corning-gorilla-glass-ceramic-2-for-enhanced-durability"><strong>Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2</strong></a></span> &#8211; a new glass ceramic offering that delivers engineered resilience, is used for the front display to yield both vibrancy and strength on Galaxy S25 Edge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Dynamic Creativity with a Pocketable 200MP Camera </strong></h3>
<p>The slim and light design of Galaxy S25 Edge makes it easier than ever for users to capture memorable moments and express their creativity anytime, anywhere. The 200MP wide lens upholds the Galaxy S series’ iconic camera experience while taking <strong>Nightography</strong> to a new level.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to its ultra-high resolution, users get sharper photos while maintaining clearer shots with large pixel size — capturing images with over 40% improved brightness<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>1</sup></a> in low-light environments. The 12MP ultra-wide sensor features autofocus, which powers crisp, detailed macro photography for even more creative flexibility. Galaxy S25 Edge benefits from the same <strong>ProVisual Engine</strong> that was optimised for Galaxy S25 with pro-grade enhancements producing sharp details for clothes or plants and natural, true-to-life skin tone in portraits.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy AI-powered editing features, including fan-favourites like <strong>Audio Eraser</strong><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>2</sup></a> and <strong>Drawing Assist</strong><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>3</sup></a> are all brought over from the Galaxy S25 series, pairing advanced creative and editing tools with Samsung’s finest and best, slim form factor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Peak Performance Expertly Configured in Ultra-Slim Housing </strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy S25 Edge is built to deliver premium performance, starting with the <strong>Snapdragon 8</strong> <strong>® Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy</strong>, the same processor available in all Galaxy S25 series devices globally. Customised by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the chipset powers Galaxy S25 Edge’s on-device AI processing capabilities and offers reliably fast performance all day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S25 Edge also keeps its cool under sustained use thanks to a reconfigured vapor chamber that is thin yet broader for steady heat dissipation. Matching the Galaxy S series’ renowned performance standards, Galaxy S25 Edge features advanced, efficient AI image processing with <strong>ProScaler</strong>,<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>4</sup></a> which delivers a 40% improvement<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>5</sup></a> in display image scaling quality, while incorporating Samsung’s customised <strong>mobile</strong> <strong>Digital Natural Image engine</strong> (mDNIe).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>A Trusted Companion with Galaxy AI </strong></h3>
<p>Integrating Galaxy AI at nearly every touchpoint, Galaxy S25 Edge offers our most natural and context-aware mobile AI experiences. Users get personalised, multimodal AI capabilities with peace of mind that their personal data is always safe. Mirroring the broader Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy S25 Edge integrates AI agents that work seamlessly across multiple apps, helping as a true AI companion to get things done more easily.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy AI also gets better at integrating with daily routines. <strong>Now Brief </strong>and <strong>Now Bar</strong><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup>6</sup></a> include third-party app integrations for greater convenience and helpful reminders during everyday commuting, dining and more. Thanks to Galaxy’s deep integration with Google, Galaxy S25 Edge brings <strong>Gemini’</strong>s latest advancements to more users.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For example, with Gemini Live’s<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup>7</sup></a> new camera and screen sharing abilities, users can show Gemini Live what they see on their screen or in the world around them while simultaneously interacting with it in a live conversation. Experiences powered by Galaxy AI on Galaxy S25 Edge aren’t just convenient—they’re designed with privacy at the core.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On-device AI processing ensures data is kept secure by <strong>Samsung Knox Vault</strong>, continuing Samsung’s unwavering commitment to ensure hyper-personalised mobile experiences never sacrifice privacy. Rooted in craftsmanship and driven by performance, Galaxy S25 Edge delivers pro-level photography, personalised AI experiences and more. It goes beyond a slim form factor to challenge expectations for what a smartphone can be.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Availability &amp; Pricing</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy S25 Edge is now available locally in Titanium Jetblack at a recommended retail price of R24,999<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><sup>8</sup></a> cash or with post-paid deals starting from R999pm x36m.

Bags? Packed. But before you start snapping that first airport selfie, you’ve got some planning to lock down.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Unfold Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 — your ultimate travel companion with multimodal capability for smoother, and smarter travel.</h3>
<p>As the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold series device yet, its pro-level cameras and AI features make it the ideal travel buddy. Translation: zero travel stress, max fandom vibes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23362" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/1.Itinerary.gif" alt="" width="1440" height="960" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Before You Go: Unfold Your Travel Planner</strong></h3>
<p>You’re about to witness a once-in-a-lifetime reunion show, and it’s also your first time visiting Seoul. Relax. Galaxy Z Fold7 will handle the details.</p>
<p>Press and hold the side button to activate Gemini. Drop your concert date, hotel address and wish-list spots, then tell it:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>“Recommend a 4-day, 3-night itinerary including a K-pop concert and save it to Samsung Notes.”</em></strong></p>
<p>Gemini generates a custom itinerary, complete with must-visit fan cafés and your personal favorite’s trainee-era hangouts, fueling your ultimate K-pop pilgrimage.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>“Should I pack this T-shirt or a hoodie?”</em></strong></p>
<p>Don’t know what to pack? Let Gemini suggest for you. Activate <strong>camera sharing on Gemini Live</strong> to hold up your outfit options and just ask Gemini what works best to get real-time advice. It will consider Seoul’s weather and the kind of exploring you’ll be doing. No more overpacking so you’ll have more room in your luggage to bring home all that concert swag.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When the jet-set countdown starts, <strong>Now Brief</strong> has you covered. It shows your boarding pass details, Seoul’s current weather and real-time exchange rates front and center — so you can check what matters at a glance, before your trip.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Gate to Stage: AI Navigates Your Tour </strong></h3>
<p>You land at Incheon International Airport and the clock is ticking. So you ask:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>“What’s the fastest and most affordable route to my hotel carrying two suitcases?”</em></strong></p>
<p>In no time, Gemini displays side-by-side cards for airport express trains, buses and taxis, complete with fares, travel times and transfer counts all laid out.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Seoul Highlights, From Tradition to Modernity</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23358" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2.Hanok_.jpeg" alt="" width="800" height="533" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2.Hanok_.jpeg 800w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2.Hanok_-768x512.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After leaving your luggage at the hotel, day one kicks off at Bukchon Hanok Village, the perfect “Hello, Korea” setting for your vlog. Rest the Galaxy Z Fold7 on a ledge — Flex Mode lets you shoot easily, no tripod needed, while capturing the full Hanok backdrop<br />
But wait. Those unwanted photobombers in your pictures? Gone. Galaxy AI’s Photo Assist understands the whole scene, and <strong>Suggest Erases</strong> automatically detects and removes them with one tap. All done without post-editing hassle. Plus, with <strong>Side-by-Side Editing </strong>and<strong> Show Original</strong>, you can instantly compare the before-and-after images on the unfolded screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23359" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/3.K-beauty-.jpeg" alt="" width="800" height="533" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/3.K-beauty-.jpeg 800w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/3.K-beauty--768x512.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Next stop: K-beauty heaven. Aisles and aisles of products, but when you pick one up to read the label, it’s all in Korean. No worries. Camera sharing on Gemini Live can translate the ingredient labels listed in Korean, sprinkling in emojis for context to help you know what you’re buying. Still overwhelmed? Ask Gemini:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>“Recommend one for sensitive skin.</em>”</strong></p>
<p>Gemini cross-checks the ingredients and suggests a top 3 recommendation list tailored to you. You can check out like a skincare pro, not a confused tourist.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Main Stage Moment: Your Favorite Idol Up Close</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23360" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/4.Concertv1.gif" alt="" width="1440" height="1050" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s finally the big day. Your lightstick is charged, your phone is fully juiced and the stadium is crowded with fans. You might be stuck in the nosebleeds, but Galaxy Z Fold7’s <strong>200MP camera</strong> captures your personal favorite up close with crystal-clear detail. Moreover, thanks to the <strong>10 MP 100° front camera</strong>, you can squeeze all your new friends into one frame and still grab the boys on stage too. When the arena goes dark, <strong>Nightography</strong> kicks in, turning a sea of flickering lightsticks into sharp, balanced footage you’ll replay on a loop after the encore.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Final Encore: Edit and Elevate</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23361" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/5.-Audio-Eraser-.jpeg" alt="" width="800" height="501" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/5.-Audio-Eraser-.jpeg 800w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/5.-Audio-Eraser--768x481.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Say goodbye, Seoul — hello airborne edit bay. Plane rides are perfect for some creativity. With Galaxy Z Fold7’s expansive screen, editing your travel vlog is easier than ever. Use the upgraded <strong>Audio Eraser</strong> to reduce the sound of the crowd’s background noise so your favorite member’s vocals shine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Z Fold7: The Perfect Travel Companion</strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold7 isn’t just another travel gadget — it’s the backstage pass, stylist, translator, map and editing tool that elevates your creativity to the next level. It’s no longer the smartphone era; welcome to the age of the AI sidekick. Skip the endless search bars and just talk. Unfold your phone, and half your trip is already handled. So go ahead, live your best wanderlust life. GalaxyZ Fold7’s got your back from takeoff to touchdown.</p>

These intricate tasks can vary and involve anything from navigating multiple steps or business processes, dependencies, resources, stakeholders and uncertainties.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Galaxy S25 series has now set the standard for what an AI-enabled phone can do as a true AI companion. Galaxy AI capabilities are now able to integrate AI agents allowing businesses to perform complex tasks across apps, services and even devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together with Google, Samsung is reshaping the future of Android and evolving it into the revolutionary AI-integrated OS<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>1</sup></a>. This integrated collaboration is able to unlock powerful AI experiences that integrate diverse AI agents, such as Bixby, Gauss, Gemini, Chat GPT and Co-pilot. Samsung worked closely with Google to provide this latest, most cutting-edge AI innovations on <span>Galaxy S25 series</span> through One UI 7<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>2</sup></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This partnership, which started from a very early development stage, introduces native integration of Gemini on Galaxy devices for the first time and transforms the Galaxy AI experience to be more intuitive through multimodal capabilities. Businesses can now look forward to Gemini &#8211; an innovative feature that performs seamless actions across multiple apps, so every task takes fewer steps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To top this off – Intuitive, personalised AI is redefining how Samsung interacts with the world with the most natural, context-aware and personalised experiences. The Galaxy S25 series now also comes with up to six-months free access to Gemini Advanced. The direct business benefit of Gemini Advanced feature is that it comes with Samsung’s most capable AI models and priority access to the newest features like Gems, custom AI experts for any topic and Deep Research, which acts as your personal AI research assistant.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is very clear from these ground-breaking business features that Samsung aims to deliver an optimised AI experience by leveraging a variety of these incredible AI agents effectively. The Galaxy AI platform introduced with Galaxy S25 series has now been optimised for AI from the framework level, allowing various AI agents to effortlessly control multiple apps. These AI agents are able to work seamlessly in the background to perform tasks tailored to the user’s needs, simplifying complex business tasks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many of these innovative Gemini features included in Galaxy S25 were developed to ensure an optimised user experience – thanks to the incredible collaboration that was formed with Google from the early stages. Bixby, Samsung’s voice-based AI agent specialised in device control, will now also play a pivotal role in advancing Home AI by enabling more intuitive and effortless control of Galaxy devices, as well as seamless connectivity and management of Samsung products like TVs and home appliances.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But, it does not end there. Samsung knows just how important data privacy and safety is to businesses. That is why it has also built a broader AI ecosystems with AI-integrated OS. The cloud-based AI security features, enhanced in collaboration with Google, uphold the highest standards of data privacy and give you the choice to enable or opt out of Google Gemini.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Users can now choose whether to enable Google Gemini or opt out based on their preferences.</span> This cloud-based AI security feature now ensures that user input data is immediately deleted as soon as the output is created. No personal information is accessed without authorisation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And then there’s the remarkably seamless actions across apps/Gemini Live feature that is able to achieve the most cutting-edge AI experiences on <span>Galaxy S25 series</span>. In this case as well, Samsung has worked closely with partners that include both Google and Qualcomm to enhance AI capabilities and boost device performance. Together, these partners have been able to bring Gemini and Gemini Live to <span>Galaxy S25 series</span>, making it simpler for businesses to not only perform complex tasks, but also be context-aware.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, there’s also the Multimodal Search – a new mobile search experience based on Galaxy S25 series’ capacity to interpret text, voice, images, video and even gestures. Businesses can now stop searching and instead be able to start finding more of what they want. The all-enhanced Circle<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>3</sup></a> to Search feature now understands the context of everything on your screen to anticipate your needs. It transforms the way we use devices with a new conversational, multimodal user interface, now introduced on <span>Galaxy S25 series</span>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy AI is now integrated naturally into every touch point of the interface and with One UI 7, Samsung has created an experience where every interaction feels effortless. Also, complemented by AI Select that is built mainly for contextual search – it now suggests solutions, next actions and useful information based on what’s on your screen – all of this without having to manually activate relevant apps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And furthermore, the barrier-breaking communication capability that is able to record and analyse calls with on-device transcript and AI summary for calls + on-device transcript and AI summary – allows businesses to communicate freely across countries with increased language support. And with the introduction of Samsung’s innovative <span>Galaxy AI – this comprehensive artificial system is now able to not only enhance but elevate individual and business experiences across their Galaxy devices.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Importantly, Samsung’s Galaxy AI vision remains. The global electronics giant seeks to democratise the benefits of mobile AI innovation so that its business users can enjoy barrier-free communication, maximise their productivity, unleash creativity and better track their health in their daily lives. </span></p>
