																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today’s mobile imaging goes beyond just a high-quality lens or advanced sensor — it demands seamless integration of hardware, software and AI. That’s why Samsung Electronics approaches camera innovation as a holistic system, where each advancement is supported by tightly integrated technologies. This unified vision allows Galaxy devices to continuously redefine mobile photography, empowering users to capture, create and communicate more meaningfully.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As AI evolves from text-based prompts to multimodal understanding, Galaxy devices are becoming smarter — able to get what you’re looking at and respond to situations. The camera is at the heart of this transformation. More than just a tool for capturing images, coupled with enhanced AI-powered features, the Galaxy camera is now part of the intuitive interface that turns what users see into understanding and action.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When paired with the flexible, expansive screen of a foldable, this experience becomes even more powerful, dynamic and immersive. Because innovation means nothing without trust, privacy is built into every layer helping to ensure that data is protected at all times.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stay tuned. The camera will only get smarter — helping users capture life’s moments more vividly and make everyday experiences more seamless, personal and impactful.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Ultra experience is ready to unfold.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="subtitle" style="text-align: center;">GQ Breaks the Rules of Light On a Captivating Cover, Shot on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://image-prod.iol.co.za/resize/1180x118000/Photographed-by-Austin-Malema-using-the-Samsung-Galaxy-S22-Ultra-5G-and-styling-by-Luke-Ruiters?source=https://xlibris.public.prod.oc.inl.infomaker.io:8443/opencontent/objects/7aae6611-9291-57d7-96cd-8c609947827a&amp;operation=CROP&amp;offset=0x0&amp;resize=4500x5500" alt="Photographed by Austin Malema using the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G and styling by Luke Ruiters" width="927" height="1134" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is proving to be a breath-taking example of Samsung’s latest innovations at work. Raising the bar for smartphone innovation, its revolutionary camera capabilities also rose to the challenge of harsh outdoor lighting &#8211; in the hands of GQ’s trendsetting editorial team and acclaimed photographer, Austin Malema. In GQ’s May/June issue Samsung’s most intelligent camera was used to create dynamic dual covers that capture the imagination, as well as the star power of Springbok star Makazole Mapimpi. With its technology theme in mind, the GQ team effortlessly demonstrated how the pro-grade camera and comprehensive suite of in-camera editing tools can deliver a DSLR-like experience. Named as a device that breaks the rules of light and even space, for GQ, collaborating with Samsung and its headline-grabbing Galaxy S22 Ultra was a seamless editorial decision. It was a showcase for how smartphone photography has taken an evolutionary step forward.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Led by its illustrious Editor-in-Chief, Molife Kumona, GQ confidently converted from the standard industry camera to the prograde smartphone camera technology of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which comes fully-loaded with innovative enhancements that put this smartphone in a pioneering category. Austin Malema had already successfully demonstrated the brilliance of the Galaxy S21 Ultra by shooting GQ South Africa’s first cover shot on a smartphone last year. The opportunity to explore the enhanced features on the next-level Galaxy S22 Ultra, including Samsung’s biggest pixel sensor ever, was an experience this seasoned photographer relished. The covers were shot in challenging outdoor conditions, which made full use of the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s array of adaptive lenses and intuitive A.I strengths. You could even sense that Makazole was energized and inspired by the GQ team’s professional enthusiasm and confidence in the Galaxy S22 Ultra. From a 12MP ultra wide lens to 100x space zoom, all angles were covered.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14203" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Directory-629x563.jpg" alt="" width="629" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Directory-629x563.jpg 629w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Directory-768x688.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Directory-1024x917.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We already experienced the amazing capabilities of the Galaxy S21 Ultra during last year’s cover shoot. While that was a successful indoor shoot, we were looking forward to putting Samsung’s latest technology to the test in an outdoor, midday setting that demands more from any camera. We embraced the opportunity to bring our dual cover concept to life on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and were immediately impressed at yet another evolutionary step forward in smartphone photography. We shot this month’s cover using Portrait mode, which captures images with stunning clarity resulting in images that pick up the finer details of both the subject and the environment, in innovative new ways” says Molife Kumona.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Packed with new AI supported features like Portrait Mode, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is built to make every photo worthy of the finest professionals’ standards. The GQ team and Austin were able to use the Galaxy S22 Ultra just like a DSLR camera as you can brighten or darken your photos with ISO settings and shutter speed, adjust white balance to make your photo warmer or cool. You can also manually focus on your desired subject to get your images looking exactly the way you want.</p>

<p>Samsung has also sensationally merged the beloved Galaxy Note users’ favourite built-in S Pen with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. This means the GQ team could make hand-written notes on images on set, which are converted to text and seamlessly shared to email for their post-production meetings. The team could also access the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s RAW file shooting capability, which is a huge benefit if you prefer to fine-tune factors such as white balance and exposure. Ultimately, this feature-filled smartphone feels like a camera kit and edit studio in your pocket &#8211; and with a battery that can last up to two days<sup>1</sup>, it’s ready for action on even the longest shoots. The Galaxy S22 Ultra impressively also includes an incredibly large sensor that allows the device to break the rules of light, which means night shoots are infinitely brighter. The unmissable Makazole Mapimpi shoot and Dual Cover, captured by the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be revealed in the May/June issue of GQ.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa</strong><strong> –  </strong>The great news is that Samsung has launched its Zackpot competition, which runs from 10 November to 31 December 2017.

The IMEI number can be obtained by dialling *#06#, or by looking for the white sticker in the phone for the product information, such as model and serial number.
