																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Turning a photo from day to night in seconds. Restoring missing parts of objects in images, like a bite taken out of a cake. Seamlessly merging multiple photos into one cohesive image. These creative capabilities once required professional skills or hours of editing. Now they’re possible in minutes, directly from your Galaxy phone, simply by asking in your own words.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe title="Galaxy AI | What's next?: Cupcake | Samsung" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BlN6CWb3k4Y" width="401" height="708" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><span id="more-24787"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That’s the next evolution of the Galaxy camera: an end-to-end experience with the brightest Galaxy camera system ever as the foundation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mobile cameras are moving beyond capture, as the latest Galaxy AI unifies advanced creative capabilities for capturing, editing and sharing in one intuitive platform. The result is a seamless experience and a more fluid creative process — eliminating the need to switch between apps or navigate complex tools, so creativity feels faster, simpler and more natural.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe title="Galaxy AI | What's next?: Spaceship | Samsung" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7U4_ewtnuJo" width="401" height="708" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the core of this evolution is the belief that creativity should not be limited by technical skill or experience. From shooting to editing, the Galaxy camera has quietly redefined what’s possible. Now anyone can create cinematic videos, track stars across the night sky or capture richly detailed photos, even in low light. And with natural, multimodal input, editing becomes as simple as describing what you have in mind in just a few words.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stay tuned for the easiest and most user-friendly Galaxy camera experience yet, unveiling next week at<a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/invitation-galaxy-unpacked-february-2026-the-next-ai-phone-makes-your-life-easier"> Galaxy Unpacked February 2026. </a></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Entertainment Companion zone at The First Look 2026 marked a new chapter in Samsung’s visual display evolution; building on nearly two decades as the world’s No. 1 TV brand <a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>. The space was divided into art, gaming and entertainment sections, anchored by the incredible 130-inch Micro RGB TV and the Vision AI Companion. Samsung Newsroom stepped inside to see how hardware innovation and AI-driven visual intelligence come together to create new immersive experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_24536" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-24536 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Entertainment-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="555" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Entertainment-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Entertainment-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main1-768x426.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Samsung has been the world’s No. 1 TV brand for the past 20 years.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Micro RGB 130”: CES Innovation Awards 2026 Best of Innovation Winner</strong></h3>
<p>The Micro RGB 130” TV made its debut at First Look. Visitors were first struck by its scale, then by the precision of its colour reproduction across varied content. Micro RGB 130” also delivers 100% of the BT.2020 wide colour gamut, certified by Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE), to enable more accurate, life-like colours.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As screen sizes grow, maintaining image consistency becomes more challenging. Samsung addressed this with Glare Free technology, enabling uniform image rendering without distracting reflections — a key reason the Micro RGB 130” TV earned a CES Innovation Awards 2026 Best of Innovation honour.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>▲ Video explaining how micro RGB LEDs work</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<p>Beyond the technology, the Micro RGB 130” TV’s Timeless Frame design reflects a modern evolution of Samsung’s TV legacy — preserving the Timeless Gallery concept first introduced at CES 2013. The lower edge of the frame meets the floor, creating the effect of a window that blends seamlessly into its surroundings.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Micro RGB TVs will be available in 100-, 85-, 75-, 65- and 55-inch sizes.</p>

<p>“Which team do you think will win today’s soccer match?”<br />
“Can you tell me the recipe for the food on screen?”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Vision AI Companion area showcased the range of interactions available through the TV. First introduced in 2025, the Vision AI Companion now understands casual, conversational prompts and delivers intelligent responses — from providing detailed information about a film to recommending music based on mood and even placing food orders.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Art TVs: Bringing Art Gallery Experiences Into the Home</strong></span></h3>
<h3><span><strong>The Frame and The Frame Pro</strong></span></h3>
<p>Building on the art experiences offered through Samsung Art Store, Samsung spotlighted its expanded Art TV line-up with a larger The Frame 98”. The built-in One Connect design simplifies installation, while the packaging box doubles as a wall-mounting guide. Displayed alongside it, The Frame Pro 85” evoked the feel of a gallery space — showcasing Neo QLED picture quality with vivid clarity.</p>

<h3><span><strong>Audio Innovation: Sound for Every Space</strong></span></h3>
<h3><span><strong>Music Studio Series and Q-Symphony</strong></span></h3>
<p>Samsung unveiled a range of audio devices in multiple form factors, each made to deliver high-quality sound. Created in a second collaboration with French designer Erwan Bouroullec — following his earlier work with Samsung on The Serif TV; the Music Studio series of Wi-Fi speakers blends refined design with immersive audio, enhancing interior spaces wherever they are placed. The Music Studio series received a CES Innovation Awards 2026 honour.</p>

<h3><span><strong>Q Series All-in-One Soundbar</strong></span></h3>
<p>Samsung introduced its most cinematic soundbar to date with the new Q Series All-in-One Soundbar. The system features 13 built-in speakers and Sound Elevation technology — which raises dialogue toward the centre of the screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Auto Volume and flexible installation options including wall mounting or tabletop placement, the soundbar delivers a clearer, more natural listening experience.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the next area, visitors entered a space modelled after a powder room where a circular mirror revealed itself as the AI Beauty Mirror. Powered by on-device AI, the technology signalled Samsung’s technology expansion into the beauty space. The hybrid design combines a polarized mirror with a half mirror to improve reflectivity and transparency, delivering clearer, more precise visuals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_24556" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-24556 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Entertainment-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main22.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="280" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Entertainment-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main22.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Entertainment-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main22-768x215.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The AI Beauty Mirror provides personalised suggestions through detailed skin analysis.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Audio-Visual Design Blends Sound With Form</strong></span></h3>
<p>A line-up of visually striking audio devices added a strong visual element to the booth. Reimagining the turntable, the Transparent Micro LED functioned as a music visualiser — resembling an LP floating in mid-air — while a built-in premium sound system ensured audio quality remained uncompromised.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Spatial Signage</strong></span></h3>
<p>Samsung also introduced Spatial Signage, a new display form factor that combines detailed 2D content with immersive 3D effects. Using spatial optical technology measuring just 52 millimetres thick, the display creates a pronounced sense of depth; as if an additional layer of space exists within the screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The system integrates with existing Samsung signage, enabling centralised remote management of both content and hardware. With life-size 3D effects and vivid visuals, Spatial Signage can be used for advertising, events, artist exhibitions and museum displays.</p>

																<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>

<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>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reliability is paramount in home appliances. Samsung has stayed true to this principle by putting its products through comprehensive testing to ensure that they can effectively handle the various demands of daily life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Newsroom took an inside look at the thorough quality tests that set Samsung home appliances apart.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v=tP64rMgF1Dc&amp;t=5srel=0" 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 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>Refrigerators: Durability and Temperature Consistency Throughout</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The refrigerator is the most frequently used appliance in the kitchen. To ensure Samsung refrigerators operate in the most demanding conditions, the <strong>D</strong><strong>oor Slam Test</strong> simulates the act of opening and closing fridge doors tens of thousands of times depending on the model. During the process, engineers assess the hinges for sagging, listen for unusual noises and examine whether the doors continue to function smoothly under stress.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tests are also carried out to evaluate proper performance throughout the four seasons. The <strong>Temperature Maintenance Test</strong> pushes refrigerators to their limits by replicating different seasonal weather conditions — from freezing winters to sweltering summer heat waves of over 40 degrees Celsius — making sure optimal cooling performance is maintained in challenging external environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Preserving the freshness of food ingredients, meanwhile, relies on maintaining a consistent internal temperature. Using thermocouples placed throughout the refrigerators and freezers to be tested, the <strong>Compartment Test (N</strong><strong>otch Test)</strong> alters notch settings and simulates variations in humidity and temperature to check whether each product’s compartments and shelves are cooled evenly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For refrigerator models equipped with automatic ice makers, the <strong>Ice-making </strong><strong>P</strong><strong>erformance Test</strong> checks ice production capabilities and the quality of ice by varying water pressure, temperature and notch placement.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Washing Machines: Ready To Thrive in Harsh Winters and Wet Environments</strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Washing machines are often installed in areas with lower temperatures or exposure to water, such as balconies or bathrooms. To make sure its products perform reliably under these conditions, Samsung conducts rigorous stress tests.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <strong>Freezing Test</strong> evaluates the durability of Samsung washing machines in the winter by repeatedly exposing the appliances to temperatures as low as those in the Arctic and as high as those in scorching summers. Additionally, engineers carry out a <strong>Water Leakage Test</strong> to assess the washing machines’ resistance to leaks. They fill the drums with water, place the machines at tilted angles and monitor them for leaks over a period of 24 hours or more under varying humidity levels and different temperatures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <strong>Water Protection Test</strong>, on the other hand, checks whether the washing machines work properly in wet environments. High-pressure rotating nozzles spray water onto the appliances for extended periods of time, with engineers closely monitoring for water infiltration into electrical components or condensation issues caused by humidity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Kitchen Appliances: Designed With Product Lifespans in Mind</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_21058" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-21058 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Samsung-Digital-Appliances-Testing-Regimen-Product-Quality-Reliability-D....jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="279" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Samsung-Digital-Appliances-Testing-Regimen-Product-Quality-Reliability-D....jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Samsung-Digital-Appliances-Testing-Regimen-Product-Quality-Reliability-D...-768x214.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Durability Test (left) and the Basket In and Out Test (right)</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The lifespans of Samsung electric cooktops under real-world conditions can be estimated through the <strong>Durability </strong><strong>Test</strong>. In this simulation, engineers test the durability of dozens of cooktops over several months by repeatedly heating and cooling standard containers on them while the containers are automatically refilled with water.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung dishwashers undergo the <strong>Basket In and Out Test</strong> to be checked for any defects in their rollers.  Engineers purposefully overload the dishwashers’ baskets beyond standard capacity and slide them in and out tens of thousands of times to ensure the quality of their rollers, rails and nozzles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Every Samsung home appliance is built with one ultimate goal — to give users peace of mind, even in unexpected moments. Samsung will continue strengthening quality control and inspection across its product lines in constant pursuit of unprecedented levels of safety and durability.</p>
