<p>Initially launched with the Galaxy A56 5G, Galaxy A36 5G, Galaxy A26 5G, and later rolled out to the Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy A17, Samsung SOS+ is extending the 12 month free-to-use, 24/7 emergency response access to include its latest flagship and foldable Galaxy models, ensuring that more Galaxy users can experience the added peace of mind that comes with round the clock emergency support.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cape Town based hip hop sensation, Youngsta CPT, the latest brand partner for Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy A Series. Known for his lyrical prowess and influential presence in the music scene, Youngsta CPT&#8217;s endorsement of the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G brings a fresh perspective to the smartphone game.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Youngsta CPT&#8217;s journey with the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G showcases the seamless integration of technology into the vibrant world of music and entertainment. With its sleek design, top-notch camera, and impressive battery life, the Samsung Galaxy A Series is set to elevate the smartphone experience for users everywhere. Read on to get the lowdown on his experience with the device.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;When I first got my hands on the Samsung Galaxy A Series, my initial thought was, &#8216;I hope I don’t damage it&#8217; (laughs),&#8221; Youngsta CPT admits. &#8220;You know how it is these days, one wrong drop and your phone&#8217;s done for. But with the Samsung, durability is key, and that&#8217;s a win for me.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19854 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ZAS24084200-Galaxy-A-Series-Localised-A55-YOUNGSTA-KV-4-less-layers-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="1174" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ZAS24084200-Galaxy-A-Series-Localised-A55-YOUNGSTA-KV-4-less-layers-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ZAS24084200-Galaxy-A-Series-Localised-A55-YOUNGSTA-KV-4-less-layers-1-480x563.jpg 480w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ZAS24084200-Galaxy-A-Series-Localised-A55-YOUNGSTA-KV-4-less-layers-1-768x902.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ZAS24084200-Galaxy-A-Series-Localised-A55-YOUNGSTA-KV-4-less-layers-1-872x1024.jpg 872w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Youngsta CPT gave the device his stamp of approval in the design and build quality stakes. &#8220;It&#8217;s a very good-looking phone, modern, sleek, compact – it&#8217;s got all the looks you want in a mobile device.&#8221; He says it has added simplicity to his life as he uses it for anything and everything, but mostly the music player, camera features, and when he’s hitting the gym.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On what stood out for him when using the phone, Youngsta CPT says, &#8220;The camera and the media player,&#8221; He gave the features an &#8220;11/10!” score and went on to say, “It is way better than most devices I&#8217;ve ever had before. Night mode (nightography) is my favourite feature of the camera. I&#8217;m also adding music daily, taking pictures, and making videos, so the good storage is definitely being put to good use,&#8221; Youngsta CPT explains.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy A55 5G’s battery life was another thing that impressed Youngsta CPT and proved capable of the two-day life claim from Samsung. &#8220;It has most certainly lived up to the hype,&#8221; Youngsta CPT affirms. &#8220;It&#8217;s so convenient not to worry about constantly charging your phone. Even if I forget to charge it, I know it will be fine and still have power saved.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;As someone constantly on the move in the entertainment industry, being &#8216;photo ready&#8217; and always capturing moments is essential,&#8221; Youngsta CPT reflects. &#8220;The Samsung Galaxy A Series makes my job a bit easier in daily life.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19826 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/SM-A556_Galaxy-A55_Awesome-Navy_Front-e1721902959560.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></p>
<p>Since being announced as one a brand partner for the Galaxy A series, Youngsta CPT says he’s been having an awesome time and some great feedback from his legion of followers. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had a great experience with the campaign,&#8221; Youngsta CPT beams. His followers also wasted no time in asking him to help them get their own taste of the device. &#8220;They want one, from me!&#8221; Youngsta CPT chuckles. &#8220;But they&#8217;re more proud than anything to see one of their own aligned with such a big name.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For anyone looking to join the exciting Galaxy world or to simply get a new smartphone, Youngsta CPT advises them to get themselves the Galaxy A series. &#8220;The possibilities are almost endless with this phone. If you&#8217;re into the latest in mobile technology, then this is definitely the device for you!&#8221;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Awesome is for Everyone</em> with Samsung’s latest Galaxy A 55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G featuring the brand’s next generation of awesome, multi-faceted, talented Amapiano artist and dance sensation, Kamo Mphela. At an exclusive media event held in Johannesburg, the unveiling of the new campaign marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing evolution of the Galaxy A Series portfolio as South Africa&#8217;s rap titan, Cassper Nyovest passed on the baton to Mphela. Additionally, the campaign introduces Youngsta CPT, Cape Town&#8217;s hip-hop artist, lyricist and songwriter to add his own flair to the mix. A true testament to the power of innovation and entertainment coming together in perfect harmony.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>“This campaign encapsulates a moment we’ve already passed while also looking into the future. Cassper Nyovest has been a great partner not only to Samsung, but to the Galaxy A Series as he hands the baton to the next generation of awesome,”</em> says Kgomotso Mosiane, Marketing Lead for Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics South Africa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-19208 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ZAS24084200-Cassper-car-KVLocalised_Galaxy-A35-A55-Combo-KV-3-less-l...-1-e1715080467700.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="1430" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>She went on to add: <em>“This new generation of awesome is about switching gears, changing things up with the campaign boldly merging the spirit of Amapiano with the lead campaign brand ambassador, Kamo Mphela and Hip Hop with Youngsta CPT to bring the exciting message of the awesome for everyone”.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building on the success and cultural impact of past campaigns with Cassper Nyovest, <em>Awesome Is for Everyone</em> campaign is all about celebrating the spirit of awesome innovation and invites everyone to engage on their own awesome terms: with irony and irreverent fun.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Continues Mosiane: <em>“As a brand, we believe Kamo Mphela brings with her a unique blend of talent, energy, authenticity, and influence, perfectly aligning with the aspirations and preferences of today&#8217;s youth. By leveraging her platform, voice and reach, we aim to deepen connections with Gen Z creators, tapping into their passions and desires to co-create experiences that resonate on a personal level.”</em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung constantly strives to be at the leading edge of technology and anticipation for new product launches. The 360-campaign will come to life across every consumer touch point, including multiple creative TV, digital and OOH spots that unveil the timeless world, where <em>Awesome Never Stops</em> with the latest Samsung Galaxy A55 5G and A35 5G as the newest superheroes of the much-loved series.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This latest commercial, directed by South-African award winning Director Keitumetse Qhali (aka Director Kit in the industry), doesn’t just showcase the Galaxy A Series&#8217; awesome features, but demonstrate how Samsung creates an emotional connection with South Africans.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Central to the campaign, next to feature of all three stars, are the key features of the Galaxy A55 5G and A35 5G that are highlighted in the TVC including an edge-to-edge infinity screen with the triple-camera system, a super-steady mode for smooth video capture and, of course, a long-lasting battery life. Night Portrait mode ensures that capturing memories with friends and family is never dependent on the background of perfect lighting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>“The Galaxy A Series 2024 represents a massive leap in Samsung&#8217;s pursuit for AWESOMENESS. With its ground-breaking features, it&#8217;s more than just a series of smartphones; it&#8217;s a gateway to a world of endless possibilities. From enhanced camera capabilities to seamless connectivity and immersive entertainment, every aspect of the Galaxy A55 5G and A35 5G is meticulously crafted to exceed expectations and elevate the user experience to new height,”</em> says Mosiane.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G and A35 5G boast an array of awesome features tailored to meet the needs of today&#8217;s dynamic users and content creators. Say goodbye to blurry, low-quality photos with the Galaxy A Series&#8217; 50MP camera, ensuring every shot is crisp, clear, and Instagram-ready. Experience cinematic scenes with stunning, true to life colours on the Super AMOLED Display and seamless filming, free from concerns about motion or instability with the UHD VDIS Adaptive VDIS 4K Stabilization. Not even a little rain could dampen your experience as the water resistance feature<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup> [1]</sup></span></a>. Embrace the night and unlock your creativity with Nightography mode. From exploring the city streets under the night sky to simply enjoying a night out with your friends, this feature allows you to capture stunning low-light photos with vibrant colours and great clarity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To top it off, the Galaxy A Series&#8217; impressive two-day battery<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup> [2]</sup></span></a> life will ensure you can stay connected and entertained for longer without constantly charging it. Whether you&#8217;re binge-watching your favourite shows, streaming music, or scrolling through your social media, the Galaxy A Series keeps up with your busy lifestyle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Concludes Mosiane: <em>“This campaign embodies Samsung&#8217;s commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation. Through stunning visuals as well as captivating and uniquely South African storytelling, we showcase how the Galaxy A Series redefines what&#8217;s possible in the mobile industry. By seamlessly integrating the advanced features with everyday experiences through the eyes of popular and relatable South Africans, we&#8217;re not just selling a product; we&#8217;re inviting customers to join a movement towards a future where technology enhances every moment of their lives from merely ordinary to AWESOME.</em></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>From dynamic camera and photo editing features to a Grammarly-powered keyboard, the latest update will give you the tools to express yourself in your own way.</em></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung is committed to delivering the most up-to-date mobile experience to as many Galaxy users as possible. That’s why Samsung announced that One UI 4.1, which first debuted alongside the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, will be available on a wide range of Galaxy devices, bringing the latest Galaxy innovations to more users.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Starting with the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3, the software update will include the Galaxy S21 series,<sup>1</sup> Galaxy A series and Tab S7 FE. The update will extend to even more Galaxy devices, including the S20 series,<sup>2</sup> Z Fold,<sup>3</sup> Z Flip,<sup>4</sup> Note series,<sup>5</sup> S10 series,<sup>6</sup> A series and Tab S series.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Read on to learn more about One UI 4.1 and some of the new features Galaxy users can enjoy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>Collaborate and Connect from Anywhere with Google Duo Live Sharing</strong></h4>
<p>No matter where you are in the world, you can stay connected with the Google Duo<sup>7</sup> app on your Galaxy device. With Google Duo live sharing feature, you can share your screen with friends to view photos in Gallery together and relive your cherished memories, even when you’re far apart.<sup>8</sup> You can also share your browser screen and collaborate on Samsung Notes while you’re on a video call — great for planning a trip with your friends or for taking productive notes during that important meeting.<sup>9</sup></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>Reclaim Control of Your Images with Object Eraser</strong></h4>
<p>Sometimes, a great photo can be ruined by background objects, people, shadows or reflections, but you might not realise until after the picture is taken. With the more enhanced Object eraser, you can now easily remove not only distracting objects in the background, but also shadows thrown on the subject or even reflections on the windows. Simply tap the ‘Erase shadows’ or ‘Erase reflections’ button when you want to remove them from a photo, and Object eraser will handle the rest.<sup>11</sup></p>

<h4><strong>Streamline Your Photo Sharing</strong></h4>
<p>We know Galaxy users love to share their content as much as they love to create it. That’s why the latest update brings users a more simplified and streamlined photo sharing experience. By automatically optimising your photos — whether it’s cropping out unwanted sections of screenshots or automatically adjusting the tilt — you can ensure that whatever you send is exactly what you intended. Simply select an image to share and an icon will alert you if your device detects potential improvements. Click on the icon and watch as the image is automatically adjusted, rotated or cropped before it’s shared.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of the update, users can also enjoy Quick Share, a feature that allows you to instantly send multiple photos, videos and files at once. Just click the ‘Share’ button and select the desired recipient to transfer anything with ease.</p>

<h4><strong>Write Confidently with a Grammarly-Powered Keyboard</strong></h4>
<p>Whether you’re chatting with friends or typing up an important email, every word counts. That’s why Samsung teamed up with Grammarly to create a smarter keyboard that goes beyond simply picking up typos. With Grammarly seamlessly integrated into Samsung Keyboard, you’ll automatically receive expert writing improvements as you type to ensure you feel confident every time you press send. You will also have the opportunity to get more advanced suggestions — such as ideas to improve sentence clarity, find compelling synonyms, write with fluency and more — to take your writing to the next level.<sup>12</sup></p>
