																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. recently unveiled the new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, the latest editions of its popular Galaxy A series, bringing powerful mobile AI (artificial intelligence) innovations and enriched Awesome Intelligence to more users around the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Designed to make everyday experiences simpler, smarter, and more intuitive, the new Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G reflect Samsung’s ongoing commitment to democratising artificial intelligence. By expanding AI capabilities across more accessible devices, Samsung continues to empower users to do more with the technology in their hands, from capturing meaningful moments to enhancing everyday productivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of celebrating the launch locally, Samsung South Africa is turning the spotlight on one of the devices’ standout features: the powerful camera, with which you’ll never miss the shot<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>. In collaboration with one of Mzansi’s leading film production companies, Samsung has produced a dynamic new film that captures how South Africans are using AI-powered photography to tell their stories in fresh, expressive ways.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25502 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076136_Galaxy-A57-soccer-Landscape-Without-logo-e1781862782938.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Directed by rising creative talent Lindo Langa, the film explores the beauty of everyday moments through a uniquely cinematic lens. It opens on striking frozen tableaus, moments suspended in time just before they are captured. As the scenes come to life, the pace accelerates into vivid motion, revealing the energy, creativity and authenticity of South African youth culture. The film features a cast of content creators from the Galaxy A series family, including Dee Koala (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/dee_koala/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@deekoala021</a>), Sine Madondo (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sine_madondo/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@sine._madondo</a>), Coachella Randy (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/coachella.randy/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@coachella.randy</a>) and Jaedin Rhodes (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jaedi_nrhodes/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@jaedinrhodes10</a>), each doing what they do best to demonstrate the impressive capabilities of the devices’ AI-powered cameras<span>.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25501 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ZAS26076136_Galaxy-A57-Party-Scene-landscape-Without-logo-e1781862682383.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The AI Camera behind the Galaxy A57 and A37 really is a powerful tool that empowers me to bring the world I imagine into reality. The idea of Awesome being for everyone is exemplified through the film&#8217;s sense of unification behind the various devices we see through the story. Everyone in the piece is either a real person in the context of their scenes or an influencer expressing a truth of their life, and the Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 sit comfortably in their hands as they express these truths. Awesome is indeed for everyone in this film because the Awesomeness that binds us is the device in all our hands,” said Lindo Langa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The film serves as both a celebration of innovation and a tribute to the diverse, creative spirit of South Africa, demonstrating how technology can amplify real stories and everyday expression.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G showcase how AI-powered camera technology can transform everyday moments into compelling visual stories, giving users the tools to capture life as it unfolds, or as they imagine it.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, the latest Galaxy A series devices that bring Samsung’s newest mobile innovations — including enriched Awesome Intelligence<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>1</sup></a> to more users worldwide. The latest Galaxy A series reflects Samsung’s commitment to expanding AI (artificial intelligence) capabilities across more devices and empowering more users to harness the power of intuitive AI that simplifies everyday tasks. Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G strengthen the experiences users rely on every day with upgrades to performance, camera and display, alongside durability and security features. With up to six generations of OS upgrades and security support, the new Galaxy A series is built with longevity in mind.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25260 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-A57-5G-and-Galaxy-A37-5G-Awesome-Intelligence_Thumb932.jpg" alt="" width="932" height="524" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-A57-5G-and-Galaxy-A37-5G-Awesome-Intelligence_Thumb932.jpg 932w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-A57-5G-and-Galaxy-A37-5G-Awesome-Intelligence_Thumb932-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-A57-5G-and-Galaxy-A37-5G-Awesome-Intelligence_Thumb932-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 932px) 100vw, 932px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The new Galaxy A series reflects our continued commitment to AI democratisation by bringing the latest innovations to more Galaxy users,” said, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “With Samsung’s fundamental capabilities combined with enriched Awesome Intelligence, Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G will deliver reliable everyday performance to users around the world and drive rapid AI expansion.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Enriched Awesome Intelligence Designed for Everyday Life</strong></h3>
<p>Through the latest One UI 8.5, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G extend Samsung’s latest AI innovations to more users, with Awesome Intelligence that helps people get more things done with ease while unlocking new ways to create and stay productive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Voice Transcription</strong> is new to the Voice Recorder app, making it easier to revisit important details from meetings, lectures or calls by transcribing and translating call recordings or turning voicemails audio into text. <strong>AI Select</strong><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>2</sup></a> is easier to access with a long press on the Edge Panel, surfacing relevant actions directly on the screen to extract text or create content without manually selecting items. AI Select also supports Drag &amp; Drop in Multi-Window layout, allowing users to easily move images into Samsung Notes or Photo Editor for faster editing and improved productivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Awesome Intelligence makes everyday photo editing easier than ever. <strong>Object Eraser</strong><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>3</sup></a>now delivers more natural results when removing unwanted distractions, like a passerby in the background or clutter in a café. On Galaxy A57 5G, <strong>Best Face</strong><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>4</sup></a>supports more photos and continuous shooting, making it easier to capture the spectacular group photos where everyone looks their best. Fan favourite tools like <strong>Filters</strong> and <strong>Edit Suggestions</strong><a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>5</sup></a> help users quickly refine and share moments without extra effort, while Galaxy A57 5G also features <strong>Auto Trim</strong><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup>6</sup></a> for even easier video editing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Circle to Search with Google</strong><a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup>7</sup></a>adds multi-object recognition so users can easily explore multiple items in an image at once — from an outfit to surrounding accessories — all in one search. The new Galaxy A series expands Awesome Intelligence experiences with a choice of agents designed to simplify everyday tasks from search to organising plans or easily adjusting settings. As a conversational device agent, upgraded <strong>Bixby</strong><a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><sup>8</sup></a> lets users intuitively control Galaxy settings and features using natural language, while <strong>Gemini</strong><a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><sup>9</sup></a> navigates complex tasks across native Galaxy apps and select third-party apps to support faster, more intuitive interactions.<br />
<u></u></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Awesome Camera to Capture Clearer Photos and Videos, Day or Night</strong></h3>
<p>As AI becomes more deeply integrated into mobile experiences, camera performance remains essential to delivering the everyday usability and satisfaction users expect. Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G deliver brighter, clearer visuals powered by the upgraded camera hardware and an improved Image Signal Processor (ISP).<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><sup>10</sup></a> The devices feature a versatile triple-camera system, led by a 50MP main sensor<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><sup>11</sup></a>, delivering sharp, detailed images across a wide range of lighting conditions without the need for manual adjustments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When the lights go down, the Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G camera adapts seamlessly with <strong>Nightography</strong><a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><sup>12</sup></a>, making it easier to capture clear and true-to-life photos and videos even in low light conditions. Galaxy A57 5G takes photography a step further with enhanced image processing that sharpens detail and reduces noise for even clearer, more vibrant results. It delivers rich contrast and balanced colour even in challenging light, while with a faster shutter speed, users can instantly capture fleeting moments faster and with improved clarity.<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><sup>13</sup></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G also benefit from AI-based subject recognition and scene optimisation to balance portraits, preserve natural skin tones and create clearer background separation. When the moment calls for a wider perspective, the ultra-wide lens captures more in every group photo or landscape view, while the 5MP macro camera reveals fine details up close for added creative flexibility.</p>
<p><strong><u> </u></strong></p>
<h3><strong>Performance for Streaming and Multitasking</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G delivers the best of both design and performance<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><sup>14</sup></a>, combining upgraded CPU, GPU and NPU to deliver improved performance with its sleek and light form. Built for streaming, scrolling and content creation, its refined design features a glossy finish and distinctive triple-camera island for a standout modern look that feels comfortable in-hand.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite its slimmer profile, Galaxy A57 5G packs powerful performance. Its 5,000mAh<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><sup>15</sup></a> battery supports up to two days of use<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><sup>16</sup></a> — powering everything from filming and editing to viewing on the go. Super-Fast Charging 2.0 reaches up to 60% in around 30 minutes for a quick boost before heading out, while a 13% larger vapor chamber<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><sup>17</sup></a> helps sustain performance during extended gaming or recording. Slimmer bezels and a bright <strong>Super AMOLED +</strong> display with <strong>Vision Booster</strong> ensure an immersive, clear viewing experience indoors and outside. Built for everyday use, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G are rated IP68<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><sup>18</sup></a> for water and dust resistance, adding durability in real-world environments and offering users peace of mind if accidents happen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Long-Term Support and Foundational Security</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G reinforce Samsung’s commitment to device longevity, offering up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades, along with up to six years of security updates<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><sup>19</sup></a> – giving users the confidence to rely on their device for years to come.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung provides a fortified layer of device safety, transparency and user choice with <strong>Knox Vault</strong><a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><sup>20</sup></a>, a hardware-based, tamper-resistant security solution. Galaxy A series offers users holistic protection through innovative security and privacy features including Security &amp; Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Private Sharing, Theft Protection as well as the new <strong>Private Album</strong>, a Gallery feature that allows users to lock away personal media quickly and easily. Unlike traditional safeguards, the latest A series devices also <strong><em>proactively</em> </strong>notify users about potential risks with <strong>Privacy Alerts</strong>, which are intelligent notifications that offer clearer insight and control over location permissions or suspicious monitoring of sensitive data. Together, these enhancements make security feel as intuitive as the rest of the experience, making device protection easier than ever for everyone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Availability</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G will be available in South Africa. The Galaxy A57 5G will be offered in Awesome Navy, Awesome Gray,<a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21"><sup>21</sup></a> while Galaxy A37 5G comes in Awesome Lavender, Awesome Gray and Awesome Dark Green<a href="#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22"><sup>22</sup></a> For added peace of mind, Samsung Care+ offers comprehensive coverage optimised to users&#8217; device needs, including tailored benefits that protect your value in the device.<a href="#_ftn23" name="_ftnref23"><sup>23</sup></a></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span> The latest Samsung Galaxy A56 5G has come out with a new, fresh look &#8211; an exquisite slim design with a stylish twist and ‘Awesome Intelligence’ &#8211; a suite of AI-powered features that are taking the Galaxy A Series to greater heights. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>You can now make a statement with a mix of minimalism and durability while also featuring a clean, linear grouped camera layout with a premium glass back. This latest Galaxy A56 smartphone is built with a slimmer bezel and flat side frame – offering a slim, stylish feel and finish. The minimalist yet elegant rear <a href="https://www.engineeringnews.co.za/topic/design">design</a> of the Galaxy A56 features a clean, vertically aligned three-lens camera layout with black camera rings that further enhance the refined aesthetic.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Also, you can now snap awesome selfies with the improved 12 MP front camera<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> on Galaxy A56 5G which captures vibrant photos. Your selfies are now shareable just the way they are. With the upgraded 50 MP camera<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> on Galaxy A56 5G – you will get excellent photos and videos. This upgraded camera feature identifies the sky, skin, face, hair and grass and enhances the image quality for you instantly.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-23908 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/GalaxyA565G_FeatureVisual_Filters_1P_H_CMYK-e1759826189944.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="655" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The front camera of the Galaxy A56 5G is also improved to get optimal colours and contrast for high-res selfie videos. This enhancement allows you to shoot awesome and superb selfie photos and videos of your adventures and everyday life in Super HDR. The cameras on the new Galaxy A56 5G can now absorb more light for low noise and they come with high-resolution Nightography<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> feature as well as additional wide camera support that enables you to capture stunning content in low-light settings.</span></p>

With Best Face, you can now take the perfect group photos that everyone will love. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>

But with the Best Face feature, those slip-ups are an easy fix. Best Face analyses the multiple frames of pictures taken using Motion Photo to recommend the best ones. All that’s left for Galaxy A56 5G users to do afterwards is to simply browse through the suggested frames and select a flawless group selfie where everyone looks their best. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>This latest Galaxy A56 5G is also designed with durability in mind.

The advanced Corning® Glass cover material adds an extra layer of durability against scratches and cracks.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Importantly, this latest Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is designed to offer a faster and smoother user experience compared to its predecessors in the Galaxy A series family. It also comes packed with other incredible features that include an Exynos 1580 processor, a larger 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate7 as well as AI-driven features. These improvements contribute to a more fluid and responsive user experience, especially for tasks like gaming, multi-tasking and video playback. </span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Galaxy Z Fold7 features the Z Fold series’ most advanced camera, delivering an Ultra experience that transforms the way you capture, edit and share content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the first time in the series, the device offers a 200MP ultra-high-resolution main camera and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also equipped with a ProVisual Engine boasting more than 160 AI-powered imaging technologies, Galaxy Z Fold7 seamlessly merges flagship camera performance and intelligent processing in a versatile foldable design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From filming vivid night videos to capturing more of the world with its ultra-wide lens, here’s how the thinnest and lightest Z Fold yet is built to keep up with your creative vision.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>200MP Sensor: Next-Level Clarity in Every Frame</strong></span></h3>
<div id="attachment_23284" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23284 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/001_Facts_and_Figures_Behind_Galaxy_Z_Fold7_Ultra_Camera_Newsbody-e1753440532734.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="613" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The upgraded camera system takes your photography to the next level.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the heart of Galaxy Z Fold7’s camera system lies its 200MP wide-angle camera, the same found in Galaxy S25 Ultra and the highest-ever resolution sensor in the Z Fold series. With it, you can now capture every nuance of a scene, from the rich textures and colors of clothes in your holiday photos to the delicate contours of the vast landscape behind you. Here are some of the key benefits of Galaxy Z Fold7’s wide-angle camera:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Captures shots that are<span> </span><strong>44% brighter<span> </span></strong>and<span> </span><strong>4 times</strong><strong><span> </span>more detailed</strong><span> </span>than those taken with Galaxy Z Fold6, ensuring every image is vivid, textured and ready to share.</li>
<li>Maintains<strong><span> </span>image quality at 2x optical-grade zoom</strong>, delivering sharp, clear results even when digitally zooming in — so you can reframe or crop images without sacrificing detail.</li>
<li>A<span> </span><strong>shutter speed that is up to 7 times faster</strong>, enabling you to take crisp, detailed photos of important moments.</li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_23283" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23283 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/002_Facts_and_Figures_Behind_Galaxy_Z_Fold7_Ultra_Camera_Newsbody-e1753438972610.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="553" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The 200MP sensor ensures you can capture every detail.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Looking to highlight the intricate details of your latest artwork or piece of jewelry? The enhanced 12MP ultra-wide lens on Galaxy Z Fold7 now supports auto focus, enabling macro photography, so you can take close-ups with exceptional sharpness and depth.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To maintain precise focus at close range, the device leverages<span> </span><strong>Dual Camera Depth Calibration</strong><span> </span>— a system that intelligently gauges subject distance and seamlessly switches between the wide and ultra-wide cameras when needed. This allows you to achieve consistent sharpness without manually changing cameras. The addition of autofocus to the ultra-wide camera further enhances accuracy, making it easier than ever to shoot detailed close-ups with clarity.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span><strong>Fit the Whole Crew in Wide-Angle Selfies</strong></span></h3>
<div id="attachment_23285" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23285 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/003_Facts_and_Figures_Behind_Galaxy_Z_Fold7_Ultra_Camera_Newsbody-e1753439263744.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="658" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The 100-degree front camera on the main display allows you to take large group selfies with ease.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Getting everyone in the frame no longer means stretching your arm to the limit or asking the group to back up. The enhanced 100-degree front camera on the main display captures more of the scene so you can easily fit everyone in the shot. Features and upgrades include:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Front camera photos that are<span> </span><strong>25% wider</strong><span> </span>and<span> 2.5</span><strong> times clearer</strong><span> </span>compared to those taken with Galaxy Z Fold6.</li>
<li>The camera uses<span> </span><strong>Wide Distortion Correction</strong>, which automatically adjusts proportions and reduces distortion when faces are near the edges of frames, allowing everyone to look more natural in wide shots.</li>
<li><strong>More natural skin texture</strong><span> </span>on photo subjects, thanks to AI-driven adjustments optimized for the selfie experience.</li>
<li><strong>Enhanced HDR processing for portraits</strong><span> </span>that prioritizes the subject for more true-to-life rendering.</li>
<li><strong>AI-powered filters</strong><span> </span>trained on over 5,000 real analog film images, letting you fine-tune your photos based on contrast, saturation and color temperature to achieve a look that blends natural aesthetics with artistic expression.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Light Up Night Shoots With the ProVisual Engine</strong></span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold7 shines brightest after dark, thanks to its AI-powered ProVisual Engine that processes images faster<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>and optimizes every scene.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The energy of an evening concert or a night out with friends can be recorded in stunning clarity. By analyzing movement and light in real time, Galaxy Z Fold7 reduces noise effectively and delivers crystal-clear results — even in challenging low-light conditions:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Enhanced<span> </span><strong>Nightography</strong><span> </span>leverages an advanced<span> </span><strong>Spatio-Temporal Filter</strong><span> </span>that analyzes pixel data both within each frame and between frames. When analyzing across multiple frames, it separates the subject from the background to reduce background noise. Footage quality is further refined as noise is removed based on continuous pixel patterns within individual frames. The result is sharper, clearer night footage with natural light and fine detail.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Videos get a further boost from the introduction of advanced 10-bit HDR video recording:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Overall color expression is enhanced with<span> </span><strong>4 times richer contrast and a wider dynamic range</strong><span> </span>compared to standard 8-bit recordings.</li>
<li>Galaxy Z Fold7 supports<span> </span><strong>Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>, ensuring broad compatibility with regular displays and TVs.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>LOG video recording is supported as well — particularly useful for creators who want more flexibility during post-production. Videos can be edited with greater ease, thanks to:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>The<span> </span><strong>10-bit High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>) codec</strong><span> </span>for advanced compression and editing freedom.</li>
<li>The ability to fine-tune color grading using<span> </span><strong>Samsung Look-Up Table (LUT<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a>)</strong>, right from the device.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>A Portable Editing Studio Right in Your Hands</strong></span></h3>
<p>With Galaxy Z Fold7, there’s no need to get back to your desk before editing content. The device itself is your own portable creative studio, with its large display allowing you to edit like a pro — anytime, anywhere with precision like never before:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Generative Edit</strong>, enhanced with a refined AI model and more advanced prompt processing, now delivers an<span> </span><strong>18-fold reduction in the mis-generation rate</strong><span> </span>and<span> </span><strong>a 4-fold cut in texture distortion<span> </span></strong>compared to Galaxy Z Fold6. The upgrade allows you to effortlessly remove unwanted objects — along with related elements such as shadows or reflections — adjust angles, and naturally fill in backgrounds, resulting in polished, professional-quality photos.</li>
<li>Through Galaxy AI’s scene-understanding capabilities,<span> </span><strong>Suggest Erases</strong><span> </span>proactively suggests edits like removing passersby or other distractions in photos for flawless, clean shots.</li>
<li><strong>Side-by-Side Editing</strong><span> </span>lets you compare original and edited versions of your photos in real time for quick editing on the go.</li>
<li>Improved with advanced AI prompt engineering,<span> </span><strong>Portrait Studio</strong><span> </span>helps pet lovers and portrait enthusiasts alike refine images to capture vibrant expressions and striking profiles.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Unfold Your Creativity</strong></span></h3>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold7’s next-generation camera and editing tools make creating high-quality content simpler, faster and more intuitive than ever before. More than just a foldable, Galaxy Z Fold7 takes your craft to new heights as your personal creative assistant.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h6><em><sup><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a> Galaxy Z Fold7 processes images 27% faster than Galaxy Z Fold6.</sup></em></h6>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics unveiled the latest additions to the Galaxy A series at Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona. The Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G mark the first time the Galaxy A series has come equipped with Awesome Intelligence, making them smarter and more appealing than ever — a true embodiment of the Galaxy A series’ commitment to bringing innovative Galaxy experiences to everyone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom explored the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G, highlighting four key elements that set them apart.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>1. Stylish — A Sleek and Compact Design</strong></h3>
<h4><strong>The Iconic Galaxy A Series Look, Now More Refined</strong></h4>
<p>The Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G take the signature design of the Galaxy A series to the next level, blending modern sophistication with a sleek aesthetic. The first thing that catches the eye is their slim, flat frame.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy A56 5G features a polished metal frame, available in a range of stylish colours. The A56 5G’s colourways stand out with their milky matte finish, while the A36 5G’s colour options captivate with their holographic effects.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_21946" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-21946 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main1-1-e1760695284797.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="332" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy A56 5G will be available in Awesome Pink, Awesome Olive, Awesome Lightgray and Awesome Graphite, while the Galaxy A36 5G will come in Awesome Lime, Awesome Black, Awesome Lavender and Awesome White.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Their minimalist yet elegant rear design features a clean, vertically aligned three-lens camera layout with black camera rings that further enhance the refined aesthetic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_21947" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-21947 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main2-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="370" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main2-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main2-1-768x284.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ (From left to right) The rear of the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G with their linear three-lens camera layout and black camera rings</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>A Slimmer and Lighter Body</strong></h4>
<p>Both the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G feature a 6.7-inch screen, 0.1 inch larger than that of their predecessors. The FHD+ Super AMOLED display delivers a peak brightness of 1,200 nits — 200 nits brighter than before — ensuring an even more immersive and vivid viewing experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Trimmed down by 0.8mm compared to their predecessors, both models also sport a slimmer profile at just 7.4mm thick, offering a firm yet comfortable grip when held. The flat key island design on the sides complement the streamlined aesthetic, adding to the devices’ refined look.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to their slimmer design, both devices are also lighter than the previous models, despite having larger displays. The Galaxy A56 5G weighs 198g — 15g lighter than its predecessor, while the Galaxy A36 5G shed 14g to come in at 195g.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_21948" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-21948 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main3.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main3-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main3-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The slim 7.4mm profile combined with the flat frame and key island design offers a firm, comfortable grip when held.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>2. Versatile and Intelligent — Fueled by Awesome Intelligence</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Searching Made Simple With Circle to Search</strong></p>
<p>Circle to Search makes finding information effortless. All users need to do is long press the home button , then draw a circle around anything interesting they see on their screen and watch in awe as Google provides relevant search results in an instant.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And it’s not just for images! Circle to Search now recognises music as well — for example, the background music playing in a video. When watching something on YouTube, simply long press the home button. Then tap the music button to instantly find the name of the song featured in the video and the artist who sings it. That same song can be identified even when sung or hummed by a person, instead of being played from the video’s original audio.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pX30WLlefe0?si=pnkrKOjkkG9474XS" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span><span style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>3. Picture-Perfect — Smarter Camera Features and Photo-Editing Tools</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Nightography and Object Eraser — Flawless Selfies Even at Night</strong></p>
<p>Imagine taking in the atmosphere during a nighttime walk and snapping a selfie, only to be disappointed by the noise in the final image. Or perhaps a scenario where a countless number of selfies had to be taken before realising none of them quite achieved the right look. With the enhanced Nightography feature on the Galaxy A56 5G, those frustrations are a thing of the past. Clear, vibrant selfies can be captured even at night with a 12MP front camera optimised to reduce noise and deliver smoother results.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unwanted objects in the background can take away from the perfect selfie as well. Simply trace around those objects to remove them, and Object Eraser will seamlessly fill in the space where they originally were to blend naturally with the background, resulting in a clean, crisp photo.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_21949" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-21949 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main5-Final-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="700" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main5-Final-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main5-Final-1-804x563.jpg 804w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Mobile-MWC-2025-Galaxy-A-56-5G-A-36-5G-Awesome-Intelligence-Review_main5-Final-1-768x538.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Clear, vibrant selfies can be taken even at night with Nightography.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Custom Camera Filters for Standout Selfies</strong></p>
<p>Some portrait photos on social media just have that one vibe, an unmistakable look hard to find anywhere else. Instead of scrolling past those images, why not save them? With the Filters feature, users can easily create their own custom camera filters using saved images. Achieving the perfect selfie with the desired aesthetic has never been easier.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Best Face — Perfect Group Photos Everyone Will Love</strong></p>
<p>Group selfies don’t always go as planned — someone could be blinking or have an awkward expression on their face. But with the Best Face feature, those slip-ups are an easy fix. Best Face analyses the multiple frames of pictures taken using Motion Photo to recommend the best ones. All that is left for Galaxy A56 5G users to do afterwards is simply browse through the suggested frames and select a flawless group selfie where everyone looks their best.</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<h3><strong>4. Powerful and Secure — Enhanced Privacy Safeguards</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G are the first in the Galaxy A series to feature One UI 7, offering more robust security than ever before. One key highlight is the hardware-backed Knox Vault, which combines a secure processor with secure memory to isolate users’ most sensitive data — like personal identification numbers (PINs) and passwords — from the rest of their device and ensure that no one else can physically or remotely access them. The new smartphones also come equipped with a range of extensive security innovations, including an enhanced Auto Blocker — Galaxy’s opt-in package of security measures that prevents unauthorised app installations and other security threats — and the new Theft Protection feature, which ensures personal data is protected even when devices are lost or stolen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung also promises six years of security updates along with up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades for the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G, ensuring a secure and reliable mobile experience for years to come.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy A series is back with cutting-edge innovations. With the Awesome Intelligence-integrated Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G, Samsung looks forward to seeing even more people enjoy an Awesome lifestyle.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>The Gift of Knowing Exactly What They Want</strong></h3>

No more guessing &#8211; <em>Circle to Search</em> is the secret weapon of thoughtful gift-giving, allowing you to snap and circle what’s on screen (whether it’s a photo or video) to search for exactly what your loved one wants. <em>Circle to Search</em> lets you get all the information about it (like where you can get it) without giving away your secret romantic intention. So, whether you’re buying a Valentine’s Day gift or surprising them on a special occasion, it’s all made effortless, ensuring every gift is a hit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Want another way gift-searching has been enhanced?
