The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 has been described as a remarkable advancement in foldable technology, with some pointing out its versatility, enhanced performance, impressive build quality and seamless user experience. The improved hinge design and more durable screen of the Z Fold6 have been particularly well-received.

Another key highlight from local reviews is the device’s multitasking capabilities from its expansive display which allows users to effortlessly juggle multiple tasks, making it an ideal tool for professionals.

On the flip side, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 has also captured the imagination of South African journalists and mobile tech enthusiasts with its stylish design and innovative features. The compact form factor and customisation options of the Z Flip6 have been particularly praised. Its ability to fold into a compact, pocket-sized form makes it incredibly convenient, while the customisable cover screen allows users to personalise their experience.

Here’s a look at some of the glowing reviews;

As much as the sub-display (Galaxy Z Fold6’s cover screen) exists for quick and easy tasks, if I‘m really going to spend a good hour editing a reel for Instagram or even more time improving my KDA while gaming, I’m going to open the fold up, revealing its true nature. For one, the larger display allows me to have multiple apps open, which I find makes editing much simpler than having to switch between apps if I need to find a cool song from another app or quickly move files around. It‘s not surprising at all that it’s also amazing to game on the much larger screen.

In 2024, Apple and Samsung entered the Al hardware race. So far, it seems Samsung is leading the race. Earlier this year, Samsung launched their AI phone, now the South Korean tech-giant has launched a suite of AI-powered products. Last week, Samsung launched its first AI-powered foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6. The AI functionality which stands out about the devices is the interpreter mode, which can be used when translating a conversation. The translating functionality has conversation mode and listening mode. The functionality lets the user run the microphone as someone talks in another language, and the user is able to see their speech translated as text on the screen.

Olympic rendezvous @ Samsung, in the heart of Paris

With less than 100 days to go until Paris 2024, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner has officially kicked-off its ‘Open always wins’ campaign, which celebrates the brand’s shared values of openness with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games – and announced the grand opening of its Olympic rendezvous @ Samsung | Champs-Elysees 125 showcase.

As announced in January, Samsung’s ‘Open always wins’ message articulates the brand’s belief that openness enables new perspectives and infinite possibilities and will serve as the heart of its Paris 2024 programming. The new campaign, which debuted recently, brings ‘Open always wins’ to life through the stories of Team Samsung Galaxy skateboarder Aurélien Giraud (France), Para sprinter Johannes Floors (Germany) and breakdancer Sarah Bee (France), and demonstrates how being open enables you to do extraordinary things.

“As a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, Samsung has been driving innovation and delivering cutting-edge technology and experiences at the Games for nearly 40 years,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.

“The way we enjoy the Games has evolved dramatically over time, with technology playing a critical role in bringing the Olympic spirit to life. This is even more true as we embark on a ‘Games wide open,’ and we are excited to bring Olympic fans and athletes closer than ever by opening up new experiences and meaningful connections at Paris 2024 with our ‘Open always wins’ campaign.”

Samsung has also unveiled a brand-new showcase, Olympic rendezvous @ Samsung | Champs-Elysees 125, which will take Olympic and Paralympic Games fans on an epic journey to Paris 2024 through iconic experiences. They will get to relive the biggest highlights of Games past with Galaxy, and explore Samsung’s latest innovations, and create lifelong memories with Galaxy AI.

In creating this showcase, Samsung collaborated with the visionary Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, whose ground-breaking work mirrors the remarkable spirit of Olympic and Paralympic athletes, constantly pushing boundaries and redefining possibilities. Inspired by Parisian Salons from the Age of Enlightenment, the space is designed to celebrate openness to new perspectives and possibilities through reflections and optical illusions that evoke feeling of openness, harmony and connection.

“The entire space is designed to celebrate Samsung’s commitment to openness,” said Jean Nouvel. “The abstract graphic façade captures the reflections of movements and lights that appear and disappear in an instant, while the matte, reflective white mirrors in the lobby invite discovery of latest innovations.”

The Olympic rendezvous @ Samsung | Champs-Elysees 125 was inaugurated with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by TM Roh, Team Samsung Galaxy ambassadors including French surfer Joanne Defay, UK breakdancer Karam Singh, and French Para-swimmer Ugo Didier; Anne-Sophie Voumard, Television and Marketing Services Managing Director for the IOC, Pierre Rabadan, Deputy Mayor in charge of Sport, Olympic and Paralympic Games for the City of Paris and Étienne Thobois, Director General of the Paris Organising Committee for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“We’re excited to see our shared values celebrated for these ‘Games wide open’ at this Olympic rendezvous @ Samsung,” said Anne-Sophie Voumard, Managing Director, IOC Television and Marketing Services. “Samsung has played a huge part in elevating the Olympic Games’ fan experience through their innovative technology over the decades, and we’re impressed to see them take it to the next level with this showcase as well as through many ways they will support staging of the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games here in Paris.”

The Olympic rendezvous @ Samsung, located at 125 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, will open its doors to the public on 03 May and run until October 31, from 10:00am-20:00pm on Monday-Saturday and 11:00am-20:00pm on Sundays. It will host a series of special events over the course of the summer and will be open to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

In addition to the showcase located at Champs-Élysées, Samsung will open up additional Olympic rendezvous @ Samsung spaces around the city of lights and its surroundings, including the Olympic Park, the Olympic & Paralympic Village, and the Main Press Centre, as well as Samsung Galaxy Charging Stations at key Olympic and Paralympic Games venues, where visitors will get to experience the latest Galaxy innovations.

I love the titanium finish and how it makes the phone lighter than other premium phones of its size. The processing power makes for a seamless user experience; especially when bouncing between apps. When using the S24 Ultra to shoot 4K footage for my music video, I was highly impressed by the ultra-slow motion feature which was fun to use. I hope to have an opportunity to explore the new AI capabilities that are part of the phone’s OS!”

Thusi – “As a Director, I had the opportunity to try out the latest Samsung S24 Ultra phone device to shoot Thissa  Sugarcoat Music Video.
