																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-5820 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Galaxy-S10e_combo-Product-Image.jpg" alt="" width="859" height="408" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Galaxy-S10e_combo-Product-Image.jpg 859w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Galaxy-S10e_combo-Product-Image-704x334.jpg 704w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Galaxy-S10e_combo-Product-Image-768x365.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>• Technology is shaping what and how we consume content<br />
• The S10 has enhanced viewing with an incredible cinematic display<br />
• Wellbeing has been factored into the experience</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s that time of the year when we begin to miss the warmer, sunnier days under our big, blue African skies. As winter embraces us in an icy grip, indoors seems like a decidedly better place to be. This is exactly when warm blankets and a couch or bed becomes heaven. It’s also when we find even more joy in our smartphones. The bigger screens suddenly become more of an experience. Why venture outdoors to watch a movie in a cinema when you can watch a world of content on your very own big screen. This is where the Galaxy S10 truly shines. Put simply, the S10 features the most beautiful display the Galaxy family has ever seen. If you thought you’d seen immersive before, you haven’t seen anything yet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">O So Beautiful</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-s10/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy S10</a> introduces Samsung’s new, 19:9 Infinity-O Display, which maximises screen space to offer you more room, to do so much more. Bezels have been reduced to create more space for what matters most, like watching movies, TV shows, reading books and playing games. In fact, Samsung has crafted a revolutionary display that covers the entire front of the phone, making everything you watch that much better. In addition, if your phone slips off the couch onto a cold tiled floor, the screen of the S10 and S10+ is protected by the impressive strength of Gorilla Glass 6.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">A Winter Wonderland</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S10’s new Dynamic AMOLED display fosters truly cinematic viewing experiences. The display is capable of producing over 16 million colours. Simply put, it’s the world brought to life in an immense, beautiful way with the colours you see being a near-perfect match to real life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This leading-edge S10 also is the first smartphone display in the world to support HDR10+: a next-generation open standard for high dynamic range (HDR) video. HDR10+ support effectively delivers cinema-quality visuals to you by enabling compatible content to be depicted precisely as the your favourite director intended. This means that when streaming a film, for instance, colours are more accurate and the viewing experience is more captivating. The display also utilises dynamic tone mapping technology to optimise colours from scene to scene, to produce better contrast between light and dark scenes. It also adjusts brightness levels so that even the smallest details look beautiful even in low-light conditions. And the Galaxy S10’s bright, brilliant screen ensures that colours are crisp even under harsh sunlight. You’ll appreciate that summer rolls around again.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">Easy on the Eyes</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So if you’re going to be spending more time cosying up with your personal home cinema then it’s also important to consider the impact on your eyes. The S10 does exactly that. Comfort is key when it comes to this smartphone, which is why Samsung optimised its newest flagships with innovations that make these beautiful devices even easier on the eyes. If you regularly check your phone before going to bed, you’re likely familiar with blue light emissions, which studies indicate can affect your sleep. The Dynamic AMOLED display has been certified by the experts at TÜV Rheinland to reduce blue light, which helps in protecting your eyes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And to make it easier to snuggle up to, each Galaxy S10 also features a comfortable, lightweight design, as well as Samsung’s revolutionary One UI. The latter features a clean, intuitive user interface that reduces clutter to help you stay focused and places important information at the bottom of the display to enable you to comfortably manage your device with one sleepy hand. It also includes a built-in Night Mode that optimizes the display for night-time viewing allowing you to seamlessly transition to darker environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ultimately, each S10 device is packed with powerful features that have made headlines across the globe including a screen made for cinema, ultrasonic fingerprint security, Wireless PowerShare, a long lasting battery and ground-breaking camera features, including an ultra-wide lens. So, whatever the season, you have a device that’s bound to make you feel warm inside.</p>

<p>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 21 May, 2019 – Designed to offer flagship features at an affordable price, the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-a-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy A Series</a> offers unprecedented value. The <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-a2-core-a260/SM-A260FZKDXFA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy A2 Core</a> adds to this offering in another welcome way, through an engaging device that will undoubtedly help more South Africans experience cutting edge technology, at a price that is surprisingly accessible to a wider cross-section of the population.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Whether for first-time mobile users or value-seekers we focussed on the needs of the local market and have researched the unique preferences to bring the flagship experience to a broader audience, through the A Series. The Galaxy A2 Core is sure to delight the many people who could not previously own the incredible features with this device,” said Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is a device where design really shines &#8211; a worthy successor to the Galaxy J2, that was launched last year. The Galaxy A2 Core has a vivid 5.0” qHD display to offer large screen coverage for a more immersive viewing experience. You can also choose from a variety of eye-catching colour options with a glossy back that really stands out. The device is powered by an octa-core Samsung Exynos 7870 processor and has 1GB of RAM, which translates into more storage than would be expected for a device in its price range. To add to the performance, it runs Android 9.0 Pie (Go edition) and is powered by a 2,600mAh battery. The 5-megapixel camera on the rear includes autofocus and the 5-megapixel camera on the front works seamlessly for selfies. Clearly, the Galaxy A2 Core has enough features to satisfy those who want a great smartphone experience at a price well within budget.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The recommended Retail Price for Samsung Galaxy A2 Core is R1299.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>• Mum’s have less time than ever before<br />
• Technology needs to adapt to different mum’s needs<br />
• Galaxy provides caters to specific needs and budgets</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As any mum will tell you, when a woman becomes a mum she has to squeeze a dozen more hours into her day. The trade-off is fewer hours for herself. Whether she’s a helicopter mum, BFF mummy or career mum, smartphones have at least helped to ease the burden of ticking off the impossible number of tasks on her to-do list. And if saving money is on her list, the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-a-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy A Series</a> offers the unique opportunity to own a phone that has the flagship features she wants, while still staying on top of her home’s budget. The Galaxy A Series includes immersive viewing experiences, longer lasting performance and ground-breaking cameras.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Galaxy A is designed to provide an option for everyone, whether for first-time mobile users or value-seekers,” said Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa.” We focussed on the needs of the local market and have researched the unique preferences to bring the flagship experience to more people, in more ways.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While the A Series now has wide appeal to everyone, it really makes a difference to mums. Whether at home, out and about or at the office, the Galaxy A really delivers. Of course not all mums have the same needs. Some are struggling to get a few minutes sleep as they grapple with their new-born’s sleeping cycle. Others spent hours teaching their little learner about subjects even they’re unsure about. And some find themselves staring at a moody teen wondering what happened to their cute bundle of joy. The A Series caters to all these needs; the pixel perfect pictures needed to capture the precious moments, vivid, immersive screens to enjoy any downtime that’s available and long lasting battery to keep going despite having a million things to do. All you need to do is choose the A Series device that best suits your specific needs. It’s all about amazing value. Whether you choose the entry level <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-a2-core-a260/SM-A260FZKDXFA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A2 Core</a> with its 5-inch screen and surprisingly strong processor or the power packed performances of the rest of Galaxy A, the whole series is a mum’s best friend.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Designed for those on-the-go, the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-a20-a205/SM-A205FZBEXFA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A20</a> and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-a30-a305/SM-A305FZBEXFA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A30</a> are both equipped with a powerful 4,000mAh, fast charging battery. They are also a visual feast. The edge-to-edge 6.4”, Super AMOLED Infinity-U displays are ideal for watching videos, messaging, gaming and browsing the endless stream of ‘How to’ videos. Created for a more seamless mobile experience, they include advanced camera features such as a dual camera, including an amazing Ultra Wide-angle lens, that can see more than your own eyes can. Yes, even wider than the most eagle-eyed mum’s eyes. And to keep your precious pics safe, there’s the simple, secure access with intuitive Face Unlock.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ultimately, the entire A series is power-packed with innovations and upgrades to do so much. When compared to competitors in its price category, the A series is an all-round winner for every type of mum.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa </strong><strong>– </strong><strong>February 20, 2019</strong> – Celebrating a decade since the launch of the first Galaxy S, Samsung introduces a new line of premium <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smartphones</a>: Galaxy S10. With three unique devices, the Galaxy S10 line is engineered to meet the distinct needs of today’s smartphone market, so consumers can do more of what they love. Each device delivers a next-generation experience in the categories consumers care about most: ground-breaking innovations in display, camera and performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A testament to a decade of innovations, Galaxy S10 is designed for those who want a premium smartphone with powerful performance and sets the stage for the next generation of mobile experiences. For consumers looking for a supercharged device, Galaxy S10+ takes every spec – from display, to camera, to performance – to the next level. Galaxy S10e is built for those who want all the premium essentials in a compact package on a flat screen. Finally, Galaxy S10 4G is created for those who want more of everything and are ready for the fastest available speeds and the most powerful features. Featuring the all-new Dynamic AMOLED display, next-generation camera, and intelligent performance, the Galaxy S10 line offers consumers more choices and sets a new standard for the smartphone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Since its launch ten years ago, the Galaxy S series has stood for premium innovation – offering consumers an incredible experience, and the ability to find the device that’s right for them,” said Justin Hume, Director – Integrated Mobility, Samsung Electronics South Africa. “Galaxy S10 builds on that incredible legacy, and delivers breakthrough display, camera, and performance innovations. With three premium devices, each built for a unique consumer in mind, Samsung is leveraging a decade of industry leadership to usher in a new era of smartphone technology.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Introducing the Dynamic AMOLED Display: Full Screen Experience with Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner</strong></span></h3>
<p>Galaxy S10 is made with Samsung’s best screen yet, the world’s first Dynamic AMOLED display. As the first HDR10+-certified smartphone, the display delivers vivid digital content, and with dynamic tone mapping, you’ll see a wider range of colour for a brilliant, realistic picture. Galaxy S10’s Dynamic AMOLED display is also VDE-certified for vibrant bright colours<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><em><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a></em></sup></span> and extraordinary contrast ratio for even deeper blacks and brighter whites.<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><em><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a></em></sup></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Verified by DisplayMate, you’ll also enjoy exceptionally accurate colours on your mobile device<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><em><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a></em></sup></span>– even in harsh sunlight. What’s more, the Dynamic AMOLED display also reduces blue light through its TÜV Rheinland-certified Eye Comfort display<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><em><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a></em></sup></span> without compromising picture quality or adding a filter.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The result of a ground-breaking engineering process, Galaxy S10’s unique Infinity-O Display packs an array of sensors and camera technology into a hole-in display – so you can maximise your screen real estate without any distractions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy S10’s Dynamic AMOLED display also includes the first-ever in-display Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><em><a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a></em></sup></span> that reads the 3D contours of your physical thumbprint – not a 2D image of it – for improved anti-spoofing. With the world’s first FIDO Alliance Biometric Component certification, this next generation biometrics authentication offers vault-like security to keep your device safe.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 18 January, 2019 – A substantial amount of South Africans use their smartphones for both personal and business use. The advantages of allowing employees to utilise their devices and operating systems they prefer, boosts productivity and can help companies curb costs. However, this also presents opportunities for enterprising hackers. The fact is, smartphones can open the door for cyber criminals to infiltrate company networks. Therefore, in order to make the most of the convenience of smartphones, companies need to move quickly to gain control of the entire mobile environment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Always-on employees offer significant benefits to organisations operating in a digital world, but having all employees directly connected to enterprise systems wherever they are, can increase the company’s information security risk profile. This is where Samsung Knox rises to the challenge. Defence grade security is less of a nice-to-have and undeniably a must-have, “says Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility for Samsung South Africa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With advancing technology, hackers have also become more inventive, so securing data has to be more effective than simply being alerted about threats coming in. The key is to embed security into every aspect of a phone. Fortunately, Samsung has taken a giant leap forward in device security. Samsung Knox is Samsung&#8217;s defence-grade mobile security platform built into its devices. It protects against intrusion, malware, and malicious threats. Samsung designed Knox to address these threats, which are far too real. With hackers finding inventive ways to get your information, Knox had to be a step ahead and is.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Knox you have peace of mind you simply won’t have otherwise. And even more reassuring is that Samsung Knox is built into Samsung smartphones, tablets, and wearables at the manufacturing stage, so you have it the moment the device is unpacked.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics South Africa has donated 20 smartphones to non-governmental organisation (NGO), Gift of the Givers South Africa, in an effort to support communications within the association’s emergency teams.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Badr Kazi, Corporate Liaison Manager at Gift of the Givers South Africa, says that advanced and reliable mobile connectivity is crucial for the organisation’s various specialist teams. “When our workers are assisting at the scene of a crisis, effective communications is quite simply a matter of life and death,” he says.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Kazi explains that Gift of the Givers teams must coordinate their operations under extreme conditions, often where telecommunications and power infrastructure has been destroyed. “With the assistance of our sponsors, we typically set up a portable hot spot and organise our operations using mobile phones. In a situation such as the aftermath of a natural catastrophe, these mobile phones have to be very reliable, rugged and easy to use, as well as deliver long battery life. We were therefore delighted to receive the advanced smartphones from Samsung, which meet every requirement we have for communications in areas that have experience devastation.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Samsung donated a range of handsets with features ideal for this nature of critical work. Among them were the Galaxy K Zoom, a phone-camera hybrid with 20.7 MP camera ideal for recording and sharing information about critical scenes and the Chat 333, with automatic chat group features ideal for collaborative communications by teams.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“Samsung smartphones’ durable design, broad range of intelligent features and long-lasting batteries will make them invaluable tools for supporting the important work Gift of the Givers rescue teams carry out. We always aim to be a catalyst to the betterment of people’s lives and are particularly proud of this initiative due to its potential to positively impact so many,” says Michelle Potgieter, Director: Corporate Marketing and Communications at Samsung Electronics South Africa.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Gift of the Givers has a large team comprising of disaster, emergency and ambulance services units. The response workers, led by Head of Search and Rescue Dr Ahmed Bham, have attended serious incidents around the world, including launching field operations during the aftermath of Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines and setting up hospitals in Syria.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“We are extremely grateful to Samsung for this donation, which will go a long way to ensuring our workers are able to operate effectively in affected areas. Our management services will benefit greatly from advanced mobile capabilities we now have access to,” continues Kazi.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“Samsung Electronics is a company that makes incredibly smart devices in an effort to simplify the everyday lives of people globally, as well as a responsible corporate organisation and active contributor to our communities. This partnership embodies our ethos and commitment to these values,” Potgieter concludes.</p>
