																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_21370" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-21370 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/DrawAssist_KV-Thumbnail-e1736866126642.png" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /><p class="wp-caption-text">* Actual UX/UI may vary</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For over a decade, people all over the world have consistently enhanced their productivity and creativity by turning to Galaxy smartphones. Chief among them, the Galaxy S Ultra series, which is built on a legacy of innovation of our Galaxy Note series has become synonymous with boundless creativity and is loved by countless Galaxy fans.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With its incredible power, expansive screen and iconic S Pen, Galaxy S Ultra is renowned for helping people seamlessly follow their inspirations or capture ideas anytime, anywhere – even without unlocking the phone and digging for a note-taking app.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Creativity Like Never Before</strong></h3>
<p>Last year, Samsung Electronics introduced <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/press-releases/enter-the-new-era-of-mobile-ai-with-samsung-galaxy-s24-series" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy AI</a>, ushering a new era of mobile experiences. This groundbreaking technology helped the Galaxy S Ultra series evolve into an even more indispensable tool for maximising creative freedom. And now, your creativity is about to reach new heights.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sketch to Image, now integrated into Drawing Assist, is now evolving. Utilising more than a single input, like drawing with the S Pen or one’s finger, to a multimodal experience. Now, users can breathe life into their ideas by sketching them, describing the image they want with text or using voice commands to tell their Galaxy smartphone what to draw. If it can be envisioned, Galaxy AI can create it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Let’s say you just want to really let your imagination run wild. With Galaxy AI’s multimodal capabilities, you can draw a cat using S Pen and then, type a “spacesuit” to put that cat in a space suit and send it to outer space. Or picture your dream home. Using the S Pen, you make a quick drawing of the facade. But maybe you’re not sure where you want that dream home to be. Simply type some possible locations, like “by the beach” or “up in the mountains” and Drawing Assist will help you see your future home in a new light.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>From Note to Ultra and Beyond</strong></h3>
<p>This level of creative freedom is built on a legacy of innovation that began in 2011, when we introduced the Galaxy Note to redefine what was creatively possible on a smartphone. That power and spirit of innovation lives on through the Galaxy S Ultra series, and it continues to evolve with Galaxy AI.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With One UI 7, Samsung’s first integrated AI platform, Galaxy smartphones will become true AI companions that understand natural language through text, speech, and images. They will set a new standard of multimodal mobile AI for unprecedented creativity. But this is just a preview &#8211; tune into Galaxy Unpacked on January 22 to see how the next Galaxy S series can truly unleash your creativity.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 15 October 2021 – </strong>Over the past decade, we’ve seen smartphone innovations change our daily lives. Now, Samsung has set a new standard for mobile phone experiences with its famous S-Pen made compatible for the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, which is a world-first for a foldable device. The use of the much-loved S-Pen<sup>*</sup> into this ground-breaking device adds to the magic of a smartphone category &#8211; unlike anything the world has seen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just as many are appreciating larger screens and PC-like experiences recently, equipping such devices with the S-Pen gives everyone the freedom to watch, work or play anywhere, in an entirely new way. South Africans are also marvelling at the capabilities of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G as a whole, where you can unfold and immerse yourself in theatre-like viewing experiences and stay fully engaged in your favourite content on the uninterrupted 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Writing a foldable legacy</strong></p>
<p>To simply pop a ‘pen’ out from your device and immediately start writing was a Samsung idea that came to life with the inclusion of the S Pen in the company’s Galaxy Note series 10 years ago. Since then, the S Pen has undergone multiple innovations to transform it from a mere stylus, into an independent device that can even work as a remote control camera trigger from up to 10m away from your device. It’s a landmark innovation that takes Samsung’s latest ground-breaking device’s abilities to even greater heights.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung and Wacom have been working closely together for over 10 years on the S-Pen, always innovating, to deliver unique and differentiated experiences to Galaxy users. For Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, Samsung renewed the S-Pen technology to make it more optimised for enhanced performance such as less latency and super precision. It also comes with a finely tuned-up pen tip structure to deliver excellent drawing and writing experiences on the foldable screen surface. Anyone that is already impressed by their new Galaxy Z Fold3 5G can also take advantage of fully optimised S-Pen features on their foldable screen, which is a perfect fit for on-the-go multitaskers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G’s massive Main Screen, it’s easier than ever for you to jot down notes during a video call or check off a to-do list while reading emails, and Galaxy Z Fold3 users can also power their creativity and productivity with the S-Pen. This includes Air actions, where you can harness intuitive actions to switch between camera and shooting modes, zoom in or out of a shot and execute a variety of other convenient functions, all with customisable gestures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, the S Pen comes in two options: S- Pen Fold Edition and S-Pen Pro. They both feature a specially engineered retractable Pro tip with force limit technology to protect the device’s Main Screen for peace of mind while using the S-Pen. This is Samsung’s best S- Pen experience yet, with even lower latency, 2.8 ms, for true-to-life composition, ensuring that notetaking and sending messages is seamless and intuitive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Clearly, the S-Pen has grown into an independent smart device of its own. On the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, its super-charged to help write a whole new chapter in smartphone innovation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>*S Pen sold separately. Only Z Fold3 Main Screen has S-Pen capability. Compatible only with the S Pen Fold Edition and S Pen Pro. All other S Pens or stylus pens not designed for Z Fold3 (including those by other manufacturers) may damage the screen.</em></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-12136 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Gen-2-Thumbnail_728x410.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="410" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 05 August 2021 –</strong>At last August’s Unpacked event, I shared my strategy to bring more empowering mobile technology to as many people as possible, especially at a time when they needed it most. Now, around one year later, our world is slowly but surely preparing to reopen in many ways. We’re all yearning for freedom and the possibilities that this new world has to offer thanks to advancements in technology that are set to make our world bigger than it ever was.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This past year, new technologies continued to reshape the way we live. Our collaboration with trusted industry partners allowed us to drive seamless experiences that offer more personalization and versatility than ever. As we enter this new era of agile transformation, I believe that open ecosystems are the only way to accelerate innovation and give people more freedom to create their own experiences that are best for their lifestyles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics is poised and ready to unveil <span>visionary, purposeful mobile technology for a better world. In a few weeks, we will unleash our latest and greatest Galaxy Z series to reshape the smartphone category and completely reimagine your experiences. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Life Opens Up with Galaxy  </strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today, the world needs flexible technologies that give people room to explore. At Samsung, p<span>eople are at the heart of everything we do. We’re constantly listening to you to ensure that any new device and experience we create really brings meaningful innovations. We want to enrich everyone’s life, not just the lives of a select few. From epic cameras and vivid, immersive viewing experiences to long-lasting batteries and strong security, we’re focusing on what really matters to you. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>As we explore new ways to empower you, we often venture into uncharted territory. That’s how we ended up creating a brand-new category with the launch of the </span>Galaxy Fold<span>. And we didn’t stop there. We kept improving the category with our second generation of foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold2 and the Galaxy Z Flip, with more screen and more of the features you now know and love. I’m excited to say our third generation of foldable devices will open up amazing new multitasking capabilities and </span>enhanced durability <span>for even more people around the world.  </span></p>
<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span>Samsung is Bringing More People into the Fold</span></strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>This will be especially important as the world leap frogs into new frontiers of connectivity that demand open ecosystems and reliable mobile experiences. At Samsung, “open” and “secure” are never mutually exclusive. In fact, our collaborations with trusted industry leaders like Google and Microsoft are why we are able to deliver mobile technology that is secure and optimized for today’s rapidly evolving and interconnected world. We constantly work with key partners to create cutting-edge security solutions that keep your devices and data safe every step of the way. This allows us to give you </span>even more <span>control over your apps, data and privacy, so you can curate your own experience — with total peace of mind. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Collaboration enables us to build mobile experiences that make your life easier and better. It fueled the development of a new unified wearable platform, which we </span>built jointly <span>with Google. On top of your favorite Galaxy apps like Samsung Health and SmartThings, there will be so many others in the new Google Play Store. Furthermore, our One UI Watch user interface is deeply integrated with our other Galaxy devices and provides consistent connectivity between your Galaxy Watch and </span>Galaxy <span>smartphone. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>We are also working with Google to enrich our foldable ecosystems with popular apps and services. For our third generation of Galaxy Z phones, we have lined up even more partner apps that make the most of the versatile fold-out format. From hands-free optimized video calling with Google Duo and watching videos in Flex mode on YouTube to multitasking in Microsoft Teams, our foldable ecosystem will offer a wealth of seamless and optimized experiences.  </span></p>
<h3><strong><span> </span></strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span>A New Chapter in Smartphone Innovation Is Here</span></strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold </span>combines the very best that smartphones and tablets offer and delivers completely new ways of working, connecting and creating, while the upcoming Z Flip exhibits an even more refined style, armed with more durable, stronger materials. I firmly believe these devices will answer the call for the versatile mobile technology we need as we navigate the open road ahead.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>We are out to set new heights and open up a whole new world of exciting experiences for even more people. I hope you’ll join us as we debut our next Galaxy Z family and share some foldable surprises — including the first-ever S Pen designed specifically for foldable phones. Instead of unveiling a new Galaxy Note this time around, we will further broaden beloved Note features to more Samsung Galaxy devices. In the meantime, mark your calendars and tune in to our Unpacked event on August 11 to see what unfolds.</span></p>

<li>Both the Galaxy S21 5G and S21+ 5G boast a triple rear camera consisting of 12MP ultra-wide, 12MP wide, 64MP telephoto lens, and 10 MP front camera.</li>
<li>The S21 5G Ultra has a powerful quad-camera that features 108MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, two 10MP zoom lenses, and a 40MP front camera.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Outstanding new features </strong></h3>
<p>Your Galaxy S21 5G camera experience isn’t only focused on hardware upgrades. Samsung has augmented your experience with enhanced software features including:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>8K Video Snap</strong> – This innovative feature lets you grab crystal clear images from your 8K video footage, so you can capture all the live-action and get standout still shots every time you hit record. This means you can film an epic scene, for example of a bungee jump off Bloukrans, and then select moments as crystal clear high-resolution photos– ready to share.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>New Director’s View – </strong>This impressive feature is a game-changer for anyone who wants to take their content to another level. It lets you see, switch, and select the best shot to tell your best story. You can capture video with the front and rear cameras at once for real-time reactions with Vlogger View, and preview or change the angle, zoom or go wide without losing any action with Live Thumbnails. Paired with Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds Pro<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>[1]</sup></a>, you can capture both ambient sounds and your voice at the same time using <strong>multiple mic recording</strong><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><strong><sup>[2]</sup></strong></a>. That means you can set up Galaxy S21 5G in Pro Video Mode on a tripod and use Buds Pro as your voice mic, so you can step away and record speech, movement and background sound in crisp quality. It’s instant control and magic.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Single Take</strong><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><strong><sup>[3]</sup></strong></a> &#8211; This intelligent feature harnesses the power of AI and allows you to capture a variety of still and video formats with one tap. It has been enhanced with new pro-style video settings like Highlight Video and Dynamic Slow-Mo, which lets you focus on the most compelling action in stunning stills and highlight reels. Basically, film one scene and receive a group of alternate photos and videos – automatically. Nobody needs to know how much the AI helped.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>S- Pen</strong> – The Galaxy S21 5G Ultra also includes the capability to use the Galaxy Note series’ famous S Pen<sup>1</sup> for the first time. This empowers you to draw, take notes, edit photos or even take a picture with the device set up from a distance. The S Pen compatibility means you can finesse and fine-tune while editing your videos down to the last frame, with the precision that your finger simply can&#8217;t touch. You’ll wonder how you ever got by without it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>It’s epic and its stunning</strong></h3>
<p>This is clearly smartphone technology designed for any skill level. For pros, it may be a reason to ditch the traditional camera and tripod bag<strong>. </strong>You can rather use and admire one beautiful device. Galaxy S21 5G was designed for those who want a light design and compact 6.2-inch display<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>[4]</sup></a>. Galaxy S21+ 5G sports an expanded 6.7-inch display and a larger battery, perfect for marathon gamers and binge-watchers<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>[5]</sup></a>. Galaxy S21 Ultra is the largest member of the Galaxy S21 series with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display – it’s a device that is packed with the best of all the series innovations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S21 5G series introduces an all-new, iconic Contour Cut Camera housing that seamlessly blends into the device’s metal frame for a sleek, yet striking, aesthetic. The series will be available in a range of eye-catching colours, including a new signature colour: Phantom Violet. And each device is coated with a luxurious haze finish on the back for a sophisticated look and feel.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Picture-perfect Value</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy fans who want to purchase a Galaxy S21 can now make full use of Samsung’s popular trade-in programme. You could get up to R10 000 back from your older device until 28 February 2021.

Samsung is also rewarding those who trade-in with the chance to win R10 000 each month until November 2021.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

From now until 31 March 2021, you can purchase your Galaxy S21 5G and get Samsung Care+ from as little as R499 once-off – which includes 2 screen repairs over 24 months.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 18 January 2021 <strong>–</strong> Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S21 Ultra, a flagship device that pushes the boundaries of what a smartphone can do. The S21 Ultra pulls out all the stops for those who want Samsung’s best-of-the-best with our most advanced pro-grade camera system and our brightest, most intelligent display. It takes productivity and creativity up a notch by bringing the popular S Pen experience to the Galaxy S series for the first time<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><sup>[1]</sup></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Galaxy S21 Ultra is another example of how Samsung is driving meaningful innovation forward to give people personalised experiences that enrich their lives and empower them to express who they are,” said Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa. “Given how indispensable technology has been to our lives during these times, we wanted to take another leap forward and push the boundaries of what a smartphone can do.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the newest chapter in the Galaxy S series’ decade-long legacy of delivering cutting-edge mobile experiences. It’s built for users who demand top-of-the-line technology to stay connected with the people and things that matter most. Galaxy S21 Ultra joins the new Galaxy S series of devices and takes every part of that S21 experience to the next level.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Incredible Innovation Housed in Head-Turning Design</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S21 series unveils a bold new style that sets it apart from other smartphones. It introduces an all-new, iconic Contour Cut Camera housing that seamlessly blends into the device’s metal frame for a sleek, yet striking, aesthetic. Galaxy S21 Ultra is available in Phantom Black and Phantom Silver and it is coated in a luxurious haze finish for an all-around sophisticated and timeless look. Galaxy S21 Ultra also has three Exclusive Samsung.com Colorways- Phantom Titanium, Phantom Navy, and Phantom Brown and offers improved durability with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, the toughest Gorilla Glass yet.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S21 Ultra is the largest member of the Galaxy S21 series with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>[2]</sup></a>.  It is our most intelligent screen yet. For the first time, users no longer have to decide between the smoothness of a 120Hz refresh rate and a Quad HD+ display — on S21 Ultra, you can choose both. The screen’s refresh rate adjusts to the content you’re viewing from 10Hz to 120Hz to ensure you enjoy the best image while staying power efficient to stretch your battery life even further. Compared with the Galaxy S20, S21 Ultra offers a 25% brighter<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> picture at a 1,500nits of peak brightness, the brightest on a Galaxy smartphone. With a 50% improved contrast ratio<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>[4]</sup></a>, it delivers crystal-clear, immersive images, even when outside. And like the Galaxy S21 and S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra has Eye Comfort Shield<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>[5]</sup></a> to help reduce eye fatigue.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Samsung’s Best-in-Class Camera Experience</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S21 Ultra delivers with our most advanced pro-grade camera system, so that you can capture stunning, studio-quality photos in various lightings and settings, or shoot and edit videos with a toolbox of new AI-powered features that elevate every shot.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>It has a quad rear camera (ultra-wide, wide and dual tele-lenses) that features a upgraded <strong>108MP pro sensor</strong>, from which you can capture 12 bit HDR photos with 64 times richer color data and more than three times wider dynamic range<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup>[6]</sup></a>. For the first time on a Galaxy smartphone, you can shoot in <strong>4K at 60fps</strong> across all lenses including front and rear four lenses, so you can shift to a different perspective with the same quality. Plus, with a <strong>12-bit RAW file option<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup>[7]</sup></a></strong>, you won’t miss a single detail when editing photos.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When zooming in on S21 Ultra, you don’t have to worry about sacrificing clarity. The Galaxy S21 Ultra features 100x Space Zoom which is powered by Samsung’s first-ever Dual-tele lens system – one optical 3x and one optical 10x both equipped Dual Pixel(2PD) AF – so you can capture clear shots even when you are from the action.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S21 Ultra’s improved <strong>Bright Night</strong> sensor is Samsung’s biggest leap yet in low-light photography. With improved <strong>Night Mode</strong>, noise reduction and <strong>12MP Nona-binning </strong>technology, you can capture challenging shots – like a dimly-lit room, or a landscape at night – quickly and with excellent quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Smart, Hyper-Fast Connections Across Devices</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S21 Ultra continues Samsung’s legacy of delivering trailblazing technology like Ultra-wideband (UWB) and introduces new connectivity capabilities that will transform the way you interact with your devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S21 Ultra users expect the flagship smartphone experience to take creative expression and productivity to the next level. That’s why, for the first time on any S Series device, Samsung is bringing the fan favorite <strong>S Pen experience</strong> to the Galaxy S21 Ultra with Wacom’s technology<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><sup>[8]</sup></a>. From drawing to note-taking to editing photos and signing documents, now you can unlock the power of the S Pen on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Use an existing S Pen from a Galaxy Note or Galaxy Tab or purchase an S Pen separately on its own or with a compatible case.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For better and faster connectivity, Galaxy S21 Ultra is one of the first smartphones to support <strong>Wi-Fi 6E<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><sup>[9]</sup></a>. </strong>You will be able to enjoy more bandwidth and a faster internet connection<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><sup>[10]</sup></a>, so you can stream and share content in the blink of an eye. With hyper-fast, ultra-low latency 5G, S21 Ultra is built to provide fast video downloading, smooth video conferencing and streaming<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><sup>[11]</sup></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to the Ultra-wideband capabilities (UWB) embedded in Galaxy S21 Ultra and S21+, you will be able to use your Galaxy S21 device to automatically unlock compatible car doors without pulling out your keys<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><sup>[12]</sup></a>. With the UWB-enabled Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy S21+, you can also use AR finder to drop virtual messages that let other Galaxy smartphone users know you need help searching for a lost item<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><sup>[13]</sup></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And with SmartThings on Android Auto<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><sup>[14]</sup></a><sup>, </sup>you can also use your Galaxy S21 series to control smart devices in your home, from your car. By connecting your Galaxy S21 to your Android Auto compatible car, you can turn on your porch lights or even raise the temperature of your thermostat before you return home, all from your car.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And because you need uninterrupted, long-lasting connections across your entire ecosystem of connected devices, the Galaxy S21 Ultra employs Dual Bluetooth® technology that helps your connected devices like Galaxy Buds Pro<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><sup>[15]</sup></a> consume less battery with a stable connection.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Performance and Protection You Can Count On</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The ground-breaking camera, display and connectivity capabilities of the Galaxy S21 Ultra are powered by the most advanced chipset in a Galaxy device. It offers faster speed<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><sup>[16]</sup></a>, advanced computing and greater energy efficiency. And when the battery gets low, Galaxy S21 Ultra can reach a 50% charge<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><sup>[17]</sup></a> in just 30 minutes<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><sup>[18]</sup></a>.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>We rely on our smartphones more than ever, which is why protecting sensitive information is more important than ever. Galaxy S21 is secured by <strong>Samsung Knox Vault</strong>, Samsung&#8217;s own proprietary chipset level (SoC) security platform. By adding tamper-resistant secure memory to our secure processor, Samsung Knox Vault enables S21 to add a new layer of protection.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S21 also introduces a new tool to protect and monitor your privacy. You can safely remove location metadata from photos before sharing. With Galaxy S21’s all-new Private Share function, you can also control who gets access to the content you send, and how long it’s available<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><sup>[19]</sup></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Optional Samsung Care+ Coverage</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Experience total peace of mind and get the most from the new Galaxy S21 with Samsung Care+. Enjoy a personal set-up session with a Samsung Care+ Pro, 24/7 dedicated support via phone or chat, screen repairs, an extended warranty <a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><sup>[20]</sup></a>and coverage for accidental damage<a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21"><sup>[21]</sup></a>. Add Samsung Care+ at checkout on <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/offer/samsung-care-plus/">samsung.com/za/offer/samsung-care-plus/</a><a href="#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22"><sup>[22]</sup></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

With ample screen size to do more, a thin and compact body and a redesigned S Pen included in the box, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is the ideal tablet for taking quick notes and enjoying your favourite content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tablets have showcased their flexibility recently as many people navigate between marathon video streaming sessions and video calls with the family and office.

Moving between rooms is also effortless as the device becomes the perfect middle-ground for content consumption and communication. And with the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite – a whole lot more.</p>

When you’re finished capturing your ideas, the S Pen snaps magnetically onto the right side of the tablet, or to the Book Cover included in the box (LTE model only), making it easy to use without the concern of misplacing it. The S Pen on the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is also battery-free, so you never have to worry about losing charge when using your S Pen.</p>

The Galaxy Note10 opens up the Note to users who want the power of the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-note10/s-pen/">S Pen</a> and ultimate productivity in a compact form factor, packing a 6.3-inch Cinematic Infinity Display into the most compact Note yet.

</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Edge-to-edge Design:</strong></span> The Galaxy Note10’s edge-to-edge Cinematic Infinity Display is nearly bezel-less, while the in-display cut out for the front camera is small and centred for a balanced design. Samsung’s most immersive display creates a seamless experience between thought and action, viewing and creating.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Best Quality Display:</strong></span> The Galaxy Note10 features the award-winning <em>Dynamic AMOLED</em> display. With HDR10+ certification and Dynamic Tone Mapping, photos and videos are brighter than previous Note devices and feature a stunning, wide colour range. UL verified<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a></sup></span> the Galaxy Note10 display for its 98% colour and brightness uniformity. The Eye Comfort display reduces blue light without affecting colour quality for comfortable viewing<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a></sup></span>.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Handwriting to Text:</strong></span> The Galaxy Note10 brings a powerful new capability to the re-designed, uni-body S Pen. Now, users can jot down notes, instantly convert their handwriting to digital text in Samsung Notes, and export it to a variety of different formats, including Microsoft Word. Users can now customise notes by shrinking, enlarging, or changing the colour of the text. In just a few taps, meeting minutes can be formatted and shared; bursts of inspiration can quickly become editable documents.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Evolution of the S Pen</strong>: </span>The Galaxy Note10 builds on the Bluetooth Low Energy-enabled S Pen capabilities introduced on the Galaxy Note9 by adding Air actions, allowing you to control certain aspects of the device using gestures with the S Pen. By opening up the Air actions SDK, developers can create customised controls that give users the ability to play games or use their favourite applications using gestures.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Premium Video Technology: </strong></span>The Galaxy Note10 enables users to capture pro-grade video without having to carry around any extra gear. <em>Live focus video</em> adds depth-of-field adjustments so you can blur the background to focus on your subject. <strong><em>Zoom-In Mic</em></strong> amplifies the audio in the frame and pushes background noise aside to help focus on the sounds that you want. And to remove the bumps and shakes that usually make an action shot blurry, new and improved <em>Super steady</em> stabilises footage, and is now available in Hyperlapse mode for steady time-lapse videos.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Quick and Easy Video Editing</strong>:</span> Once they’ve recorded their video, Galaxy Note10 users can edit-on-the-go instantly right from their phone. <em>The video editor</em> can be used with the S Pen, so instead of having to tap to select or edit a clip, users can choose the precise moment they want to trim. For creators who need even more control over their footage, Adobe Rush<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a></sup></span> on the Galaxy Note10 provides a sophisticated suite of editing tools, now even more accurate with the S Pen.</li>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>AR Doodle and 3D Scanner:</strong> </span>The Galaxy Note10 integrates bleeding-edge AR and 3D capabilities into the camera. Along with an Ultra Wide camera, it opens up an entirely new medium for creators. With AR Doodle, use the S Pen to personalize photos with dynamic drawings, effects, and animations that track to the image. And with 3D Scanner<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a></sup></span>, a ground-breaking first for the Note, the Galaxy Note10+’s DepthVision camera can take a scan of an object<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a></sup></span>, and instantly turn it into a movable 3D rendering.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Night Mode:</strong> </span>People take plenty of selfies in low light situations—at dinner, at concerts or just enjoying a sunset. <em>Night Mode</em>, now available on the front camera, lets users capture striking selfies no matter how dim or dark the conditions.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Super-Fast Charging:</strong> </span>With just 30 minutes of charge, the Galaxy Note10+ lasts through the day<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a></sup></span> with up to 45W wired charging capability<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a></sup></span>.</li>

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Gaming: </strong></span>As mobile games get more processing-heavy and graphics-rich, the best gaming experiences require top specs.

With the AI-based <em>Game Booster</em>, the Galaxy Note10 optimises performance and power consumption depending on the game.
