Samsung Unveils Innovations

Samsung Electronics on Thursday (21 Feb 2019) unveiled a slate of devices that showcase its innovations in the field.

Galaxy Fold 

It boasts one of the most outstanding features in the crowded smartphone market now – Samsung’s largest-ever smartphone display in a foldable format. Galaxy Fold features the world’s first 7.3inch Infinity Flex Display, which folds into a compact device with a cover display.

This is made possible with the invention of a new polymer layer and creating a display around 50 percent thinner than the typical smartphone display.

The transition between the cover and the main display is touted to be seamless. Slip it out of your pocket for one-handed calls, texts and other functions. As Galaxy Fold opens and closes, apps will automatically show up where you leave off. When you’re ready to take a photo, make in-depth edits, or have a closer look at the feed, open the display for a big screen and fuller canvas.

To ensure everything runs smoothly, even when running three apps simultaneously, Samsung equipped Galaxy Fold with a high-powered, next-generation AP chipset and 12GB of RAM with PC-like performance.

Galaxy Fold is also capable of charging itself and a second device simultaneously via Wireless PowerShare, while connected to a regular charger so you can leave your second charger at home.

The Galaxy Fold is designed for entertainment. Thanks to immersive visuals on the Dynamic AMOLED display and crisp, clear sound by AKG with the stereo speakers, your favorite movies and games come to life in rich sound and color.

Its camera is also versatile. No matter which way you hold—or fold—the device, a camera will be ready to capture the scene, so you never miss the moment. It has six lenses— three in the back, two on the inside and one on the cover.

Galaxy Fold will be launching in Singapore in Q2 2019, and will retail at more than USD$1,980.

The series comprises four devices: Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ (takes every spec – from display, to camera, to performance – to the next level）， Galaxy S10e （premium essentials in a compact package) and Galaxy S10 5G ( Samsung’s first flagship 5G smartphone).

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 color for a brilliant, realistic picture. Galaxy S10’s Dynamic AMOLED display is also VDE-certified for vibrant bright colors1 and extraordinary contrast ratio for even deeper blacks and brighter whites.

• Ultra Wide Lens: A first for the S Series, Galaxy S10 offers an Ultra Wide Lens with a 123degree field of view, like the human eye, so what you see is what’s in frame. Perfect for impressive landscape shots, big panoramas and even fitting the entire extended family into the photo, the Ultra Wide Lens ensures that you’ll always be able to capture the full scene.

• Super Steady & High-Quality Video Recording: Galaxy S10 offers Super Steady recording with digital stabilization technology. Whether you’re dancing in the middle of an amazing concert or trying to record every detail of a bumpy bike ride, Super Steady allows you to capture the moment. Both front and rear cameras can shoot in up to UHD quality, and in an industry first, the rear camera gives you the flexibility to record in HDR10+6.

• AI Camera: Galaxy S10 makes already smart features more accurate with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) so you can get pro-grade shots worth sharing without having to manually select any advanced camera settings. Scene Optimizer can now recognize and more accurately process additional scenes because of the NPU. And with Shot Suggestion,

Wireless PowerShare is also available on Galaxy S10, making it possible to easily charge Qi-certified smartphones and even compatible wearable devices. In addition, Galaxy S10 is capable of charging itself and a second device simultaneously via Wireless PowerShare8, while connected to a regular charger, enabling you to leave your second charger at home while on a trip.
