New @NokiaMobile Phones bring Technology that is built to last, Together with an all-new Audio Portfolio

Hi Friends, 

Finnish mobile company HMD Global introduces three new Nokia phones to its refreshed portfolio and significantly expands its audio accessory range

• Nokia XR20: Football legend Roberto Carlos and world champion freestyler Lisa Zimouche pair up to give the new life-proof Nokia XR20 its toughest test yet.
• Nokia 6310: a new member to the Originals family, revamped for the modern-day
• Nokia C30: bigger and bolder in every direction, this C-series hero arrives with the largest screen and battery yet
• Audio accessories: new Nokia audio accessories across four distinct new lines bring the quality you can trust – Go, Micro, Comfort, and Clarity
• Watch the ‘Toughest test’ here.

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announces three new phones and a new audio portfolio. Built to survive anything life can throw at you, the Nokia XR20 can withstand much more than you’ll ever demand of it.[i] The Nokia C30, a hero device to the C-series, features the largest screen and battery yet. Nokia 6310 is a new member of the Originals family, reimagined noughties classic. Today also marks the biggest Nokia accessory launch to date, with new lifestyle audio products streamlined into four distinct lines – Go, Micro, Comfort and Clarity.

Florian Seiche, CEO, HMD Global:

“We are tapping into consumer pain points around durability and longevity. We did a global trend report8 and found that 73% of consumers want to keep their phone for longer and would if their devices were maintained over time. At HMD, we are empowering people to avoid early device replacement and encouraging a more sustainable consumption through our longevity promises.

We are delighted to announce the Nokia XR20 – a life-proof phone[ii] with our trademark sleek, Nordic design that we built for both consumers and enterprises.

Today we also grow our refreshed X-series and C-series with two shining examples of what these ranges stand for. Our goal is to provide people with products they will love, trust and want to keep for longer.”

Built to withstand the test of life, the Nokia XR20 enhances the X-series

Extreme temperatures, 1.8m drops, 1h underwater and more[iii], the new Nokia XR20 is built for conditions far harsher than the rough and tumble of everyday life. This life-proof phone[iv] is concealed in a sleek, timeless design. So, whilst you’re probably never going to stretch your phone to the extremes of its capabilities, you can be reassured that the Nokia XR20 can endure more than you’ll ever demand of it.

Featuring one of the strongest of screens for extra peace of mind: Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™ – it’s amongst the toughest of glass out there.[v] To test its durability, Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos and female world champion freestyler Lisa Zimouche put the new Nokia XR20 through a series of tough tests. From dunking it in icy water to being kicked, flipped and spun screen-first across a concrete gravel football pitch.

Carlos even recreated his famous banana shot from the 1997 Brazil vs France match to test the device’s durability – three Nokia XR20s were positioned on a goal post for the football sensation to hit in a free kick shootout.

Roberto Carlos, Brazil World Cup winner and Real Madrid legend, said: “I’ve been asked to recreate my ’97 free kick many times over the last twenty years, but never like this before, so I had to accept the challenge. Surely a mobile phone couldn’t survive the wrath of a football. I didn’t think the Nokia XR20 could have withstood the power of my kick. I may not be professional anymore, but I know I still pack a punch, so it was an impressive result.”

Future-proof means freshness that is not just for the day you unbox your smartphone. In addition to the existing X-series longevity promises, the Nokia XR20 comes with four years of monthly security updates, and three years of OS upgrades.

The Nokia XR20 has a reliable 48MP+13MP dual-camera with ZEISS Optics, OZO spatial audio and innovative imaging solutions. The all-new SpeedWarp mode lets you capture a whole lot of adventure in a compact, exciting montage. Pushing the boundaries of the mid-range, it also comes with 5G speeds, 15W wireless charging and superior durability that you’ll love.

Nokia C30 is here to provide more room for your big ideas

Introducing two firsts to the Nokia smartphone portfolio, the new Nokia C30 is a hero of the popular C-series. It comes with the largest battery and biggest screen yet on a Nokia smartphone.

The ever increasing demand for larger screens[vi] sees the current 82% of consumers who are looking for smartphones between 6” and 7” in size grow to 96% by 2025. The huge 6.82” HD+ display on the new Nokia C30 is here to supply what fans have been asking for.

Hard-working individuals and busy days ask for a battery that can keep up. On the Nokia C30, it’s been supersized to an impressive 6000 mAh, giving you enough energy to work up to three days on a single charge – so you can upskill, stream, and connect to those that matter most. Complemented by the quality feel that only a truly durable build can provide. The Nokia C30 is wrapped in a sturdy polycarbonate shell that you can trust, giving you a device that will last.

Awaken the noughties love with Nokia 6310

The newest member of the Originals family celebrates the iconic Nokia 6310 with a fresh new take. The Nokia 6310 is a classic reimagined for today’s connected users. Bringing advanced accessibility, optimised ergonomics, and battery for weeks, it honours everything that Nokia phones stand for. And yes – it still has Snake.

With accessibility at its core, the refreshed larger push buttons and ample display make screen time more effortless and enjoyable. The new zoomed-in menus and larger font options improve readability and text messages can be listened to for ease of use.

New Nokia lifestyle audio accessories that people will love, trust, and keep for longer

Introducing a revamped Nokia audio portfolio, the new accessories bring fans reliable sound on the go. Streamlined into four new, distinct lines – Go, Micro, Comfort and Clarity – each range brings maximum value via unique propositions.

• Go: ultra-high value products offering the highest quality at the lowest possible prices
• Micro: meeting the demand for the compact form factor
• Comfort: a result of consumers seeking optimal comfort in wearables
• Clarity: top-of-the-range quality earbuds integrating the latest tech

Arriving hand in hand with the Nokia XR20, the new Nokia Clarity Earbuds Pro give a high-performance sound with the build quality and battery life that can keep up. The powerful combination of dual-mic environment noise cancellation (ENC), Qualcomm® cVc™, and active noise cancellation (ANC) captures and eliminates background noise for superb call and music clarity.

Alex Lambeek, Global Head of Accessories, HMD Global: “Much like our smartphones, the excellence in Nokia accessories is a result of industry-leading testing for quality. The invaluable insight from our Nokia smartphone community combined with regional insights across the globe has allowed us to grow our ecosystem of companion products to an impressive portfolio. It’s supported by a network of strong partnerships like Binatone that allow us to provide the best for our growing fanbase. Inspired by nature and packaged in paper and soy-based ink to protect it, each new line delivers premium lifestyle experiences at accessible price points.”

Trusted partnerships for best-in-class experiences

Today marks the beginning of two new partnerships with industry-leading providers. Spotify will give Nokia smartphone owners access to 70 million tracks and 2.6 million podcasts out of the box[vii]. Offering added reassurance against malware, ExpressVPN will be available on all new Nokia smartphones in selected markets with a 30-day free trial.

Stephen Taylor, CMO, HMD Global: “We’ve always been proud to partner with the industry’s best for our fans. Today we add two more names to this extended family of leading brands that allow for the most innovative experiences for Nokia phone owners. Every partnership further enhances what we stand for and we collaborate with those we trust, so you can too.”

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - July 2020 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends, 

As you all know already, July is my birthday month and I do take some leaves sometimes and go on to some kind of trip to celebrate this growing up body. As I was reading MADE IN INDIA by Milind Soman which I completed last night gave me a wonderful insight about our own body that, AGE is just a number and you can achieve whatever you put your mind and heart on. I too have been putting up running 5kms for too long now so now I will start the preparations by running 50m and subsequently increasing the distance. I have reKINDLED my love for books and my Kindly Keyboard is really coming in handy as I finished this book in less than a week despite a full working week. 

I always believed that my birthday is 22/7 making it equivalent to the Pi which never ends and goes till infinity so is my potential to create and think. But we just need to believe that it's possible and we are ready to challenge our current system or comfort zone and want to bring change in the same. As you would believe, that only by overcoming challenges do we grow ourselves and goals should really push us towards those challenges. I also learned from Soman's book that he dedicated himself to a single cause during that course of time because he was always seen standing on the successful side. He would obsessively think, live and practice for such events which mattered to him like Half-Marathon, Full Marathon, IronMan, Ultramarathon and various other initiatives like Pinkathon which he promotes for the welfare of society. 

What I have done all my life, is make a long list of things I want to do and then try to allocate time to each one of them leaving me not finishing even a single one at the end of the year when you bring out the diary again. As written in many books now also from MAKE TIME by Jack Knapp and John Zeratsky, you focus on one highlight of a day, which can be towards the bigger goal to get it completed and celebrate every day with these small wins each day. 

ONE THING PER DAY - EASY TO REMEMBER and FOCUS ON and Then JUST RELAX considering that you have provided value to your long term goal. 

Coming back to July 2020, it was the time when the lockdown was relaxed for a while where restaurants opened up and we moved to level 3 in Johannesburg. It was the time when Montecasino called me to promote some of their establishments and I chose Thava Indian Restaurant and make the dates aligned to my birthday weekend. It was amazing to enjoy the food with the whole family. I intended to do something similar but this year we are in Lockdown Level 4. 

1. 40th Birthday @MontecasinoZA @ThavaIndian Dinner During Unlock #MissMonte - Check out the photographs and the post from the last year's dinner on my birthday at Thava Indian Restaurant, Montecasino, Johannesburg, South Africa. Thanks once again to the brand for the invite with the family. 

July 2021 has been hectic so far and I could not do anything which I intended to do. I wanted to do some videos but that has been delayed. I plan to chase up all the intended plans for the month in the next month. Till that time thanks and regards.

Cheers!!!

Teach Your Younger Siblings What Tech Specs to Look Out for @HuaweiZA MateBook 14 or MateBook D 15 i3

Hi Friends, 

Laptops have become even more commonplace now at home because of remote learning. If you’re an older sibling, you have the big task of sharing not just your laptop with younger siblings but also how technology works. To help you get started, the all-new HUAWEI MateBook 14 and HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3 have some impressive specs that will make your teachable moments that much more informative.

A decent screen is a key factor

In our increasingly technology-centred world, knowing how to spot a great laptop is an important skill. If you have younger siblings, here’s an opportunity to expand their tech knowledge. Start off by taking them through the importance of a decent screen.

The HUAWEI MateBook 14 has a 2K HUAWEI FullView Display with a Multi-touch option. This allows users to interact with the device accurately, freely, smoothly and intuitively. The HUAWEI MateBook 14 also features the signature 3:2 aspect ratio, meaning it is three units wide for every two units across (the units are pixels).

The HUAWEI MateBook 14 has a bezel-less screen with a high 90% screen-to-body ratio. A bezel includes everything on the front of the laptop such as the camera. However, having a reduced bezel means more screen, which is great especially for a slim machine like the HUAWEI MateBook 14. The MateBook D 15 i3, on the other hand, features a 16:9 aspect ratio and recessed camera. The top and side bezels are only 5.3mm thick, resulting in an 87% screen to body ratio. The HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3 has a 15.6-inch, 1080p FHD IPS screen with anti-glare protection while offering a wide viewing angle of 178°, resulting in a clear and vivid display.

Powerful and long-lasting battery life

When it comes to charging a device, younger siblings aren’t usually known to prioritise this. Think of how many times they’ve forgotten to charge their cellphones before going on a family trip. So, the possibility of them doing the same thing to their laptops is high. But, thanks to the 11-hour long battery life of the MateBook 14, that won’t be a problem.

The compact HUAWEI MateBook 14 features a 56Wh battery (Rated value). In order to pack such a large battery into the small chassis, Huawei had to carefully plan how each and every internal component was placed in the notebook, making sure it had enough space for the battery. The HUAWEI MateBook 14 also has a self-developed system for intelligent energy-saving management, process management and background apps management. The system can automatically and intelligently allocate resources for applications based on the analysis of user behaviours. Longer battery life means you and your younger siblings can play 1080P videos on your laptop for up to 14.7 hours. You can also help them do their schoolwork for 13.6 hours or browse web pages for 10.7 hours.

For a more wireless experience, you’ll love the HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3, which uses a 65W USB-C charger with detachable cables, making the charger much more portable. It can also be used to charge other Huawei smartphones and tablets that are equipped with a USB-C port. In addition, the cable supports data transmission.

Fast and competent performance

A fast laptop is the first prize because nobody enjoys working on a slow machine, especially when you’re busy doing assignments or catching up on your favourite series. The HUAWEI MateBook 14’s 11th Generation Intel Core processor enables the laptop to be more responsive and efficient for productivity tasks such as virtual lectures. In addition to the processor upgrade, the HUAWEI MateBook 14 is equipped with up to 16 GB dual-channel RAM. With its huge memory, worrying about storage will be a thing of the past. The HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3 is equally impressive, thanks to its Intel processor to ensure it delivers top performance across various activities, whether you use it for work or play.

Multitask easily

Both the HUAWEI MateBook 14 and HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3 offer a brand-new way for Interconnectivity via Huawei Share. If you’re constantly moving files between Windows and Android devices, Huawei Share allows for a more connected experience, facilitating the transfer of data without the need for clunky cables or third-party software. Multi-Screen Collaboration, a function of HUAWEI Share, makes this experience even simpler and more integrated.

Usually, younger siblings are the ones who have their finger on the pulse when it comes to the latest tech trends but let your knowledge of the HUAWEI MateBook 14 and HUAWEI MateBook D 15 i3 shine the spotlight on you for once.

Special deal

When you purchase either of these laptops, you will get a two-year collect, repair and return VIP service warranty with 24/7 online technical support valued at R1,299. Get your HUAWEI Matebook 14 for R24,999 or the HUAWEI MateBook D15 i3 for just R10,999 either in-store or by visiting the HUAWEI Store (Online). Both these laptops come with the premium HUAWEI Backpack, HUAWEI Bluetooth mouse and HUAWEI VIP service all valued at R2,997 (Ts & Cs Apply). You can purchase at Vodacom, Telkom, Incredible Connection, MTN, Takealot and Huawei online store.

Roberto Carlos Recreates his Classic #FreeKick in ‘Toughest Test’ Against New @NokiaMobile #NokiaXR20 #LoveTrustKeep

Hi Friends, 

• Introducing the first-ever life-proof Nokia phone, built to withstand life’s rough and tumble
• Football legend Roberto Carlos and world champion freestyler Lisa Zimouche pair up to give the new life-proof Nokia XR20 its toughest test yet
• Carlos repeatedly boots the new phone across a concrete gravel football pitch in Madrid, Spain and recreates his famous 1997 banana shot in the ultimate crossbar challenge with the Nokia XR20
• The 5G smartphone is built to survive everything life throws at it: extreme temperatures from +55C to -22C, 1.8m drops, 1 hour under water[i], and more
• Watch the ‘Toughest Test’ here

Footballing sensation Roberto Carlos collides with HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, to reveal a brand-new life-proof[ii] handset, the Nokia XR20.

From lab testing conditions to a football pitch, the brand-new 5G smartphone met its match when Brazilian legend Roberto Carlos and world freestyle champion Lisa Zimouche put it to test in Madrid, Spain.

The skilled footballing pair put the new Nokia XR20 through a series of tough tests from dunking it in ice water to being kicked, flipped and spun screen-first across a concrete gravel football pitch.

Nokia phones are built on the belief that technology should last for longer; the brand-new life-proof smartphone has been built to last with military-grade resilience paired with four years of monthly security updates, the latest software upgrades for up to three years, and future-proofed 5G[iii].

Stephen Taylor, CMO, HMD Global said: “The average person breaks their smartphone within just 10 weeks of owning it[iv]. The combined expense of protective cases, repairs and warranties can add up to hundreds, leading to early device replacement. We built the Nokia XR20 to be extremely tough to eliminate this cost and to empower people to feel good about keeping their smartphone for longer.”

Roberto Carlos, Brazil World Cup winner and Real Madrid legend, said: “I’ve been asked to recreate my ’97 free kick many times over the last twenty years, but never like this before, so I had to accept the challenge. Surely a mobile phone couldn’t survive the wrath of a football. I didn’t think the Nokia XR20 could have withstood the power of my kick. I may not be professional anymore, but I know I still pack a punch, so it was an impressive result.”

Lisa Zimouche, World Champion Freestyle Footballer, said: “I’m used to kicking and flicking footballs, so I thought trying it with a smartphone would be tough, but within seconds of seeing the set up I was so eager for the challenge. I’ve dropped phones before, and it’s never been a happy ending, so it’s impressive what the Nokia XR20 can do.”

The ‘Toughest Test’ opens with a strong left kick to the ball aimed at the Nokia XR20 from Roberto Carlos, then you see it slide screen-first across the gravel concrete. But owners of the Nokia XR20 can say goodbye to those heart-stopping moments when your phone falls screen-first to the floor. Made from Gorilla® Glass Victus™, it’s four times more scratch-resistant than its competitors[v]. Plus, the clever design of the Nokia XR20 ensures you can enjoy good visibility in direct sunlight and smooth browsing even with wet hands and gloves.

The ‘Toughest Test’ continues with Zimouche’s quick feet putting the device through its paces, as she kicks the ball at three handsets, and knocks them down one by one.

Tension builds as legend Carlos puts the ball down and steps back as he recreates the famous banana shot that made history in the 1997 Brazil vs France match. In the ultimate crossbar challenge, three phones are positioned to a metal red and white striped goal post with their cameras on and filming through a 48MP ZEISS Optics dual camera. The ball careers through the air at an eye-watering speed, and in a matter of milliseconds, the Nokia XR20 captures the ball smashing into it and crashing to the ground.

But it wasn’t just the famous free-kick that the device had to contend with, as the scorching sunshine exposed the handset to 33-degree heat in Madrid, and still, it never wavered or overheated.

Nokia XR20 – the 5G phone built for life’s rough and tumble

Tough on and off the pitch

Built to endure blistering temperatures, this device will follow you on all your family ventures, from sunny beach scrolling in scorching +55C to the icy ski slopes of –20C. For the adventurous or just those that are clumsy, the new handset can also survive the steepest of drops measuring up to 1.8m and survive one hour underwater. Also, if it gets dirty, you can give it a good scrub with soap and water.

Stamina and endurance

Future-proof as well as life-proof, the Nokia XR20 boasts the longest-ever monthly security updates from Nokia phones maker – four years – and up to three years of software upgrades.

With an up to two-day battery life[vi], it will also go the distance on a single charge, but should you need to power up quickly it supports 15W Qi wireless charging and 18W fast charging.

Photo finishes

For memories you want to remember forever, the reliable 48MP ZEISS Optics dual camera will provide excellent portraits or broad landscape shots. Plus, the two flashes bring in the light to the darkness.

The all-new SpeedWarp mode lets you capture a whole lot of adventure in a compact, exciting montage. The Nokia XR20 keeps a steady hand on precious family memories – even when you’re at a sandbox or an adventure park, your footage will look stable with Action Cam mode.

And those moments that need to be recorded and brought back to life, the OZO spatial audio with wind-noise cancellation will ensure your videos are a true representation of the moment itself, without any unwanted sounds interrupting.

When you want the audio to reach further afield, the OZO Playback will be there to broaden the sound with the support of extra loud stereo speakers – they’re mighty enough to hear over a crowd at a BBQ this summer.

The all-new Nokia XR20 is available in Ultra Blue and Granite Grey and comes in 4/64GB and 6/128GB[vii] configurations. Local variants, pricing and availability will be shared in-market at a later stage.

[i] Nokia phones go through 50 rigorous assessments, from force measurement to wear and scratch, as part of Standard Product Requirement (SPR) tests. The assessments are known to be some of the most stringent in the industry.

[ii] Based on durability tests conducted by HMD Global Oy. MIL-STD-810H certified up to 1.5m drop protection and 1.5m water protection for up to 30 minutes.

[iii] 5G coverage is limited and might not be supported by your network service provider. Actual speed depends on network and other factors.

@SamsungSA Amplifies Olympic Games Partnership With Inspiring #StrongerTogether Campaign

Hi Friends, 

This July, the world’s greatest athletes will fire up the Olympic spirit as they compete in Tokyo for the 2020 Games, starting 23 July to 8 August 2021. Ahead of this journey, Samsung announced an exciting new campaign involving the public and athletes. Samsung has been a mobile technology partner to the Olympics for 30 years and is committed to continuing the legacy of enabling meaningful connections through innovative technologies. The #StrongerTogether campaign is based on the power of technology and human connection to create a shared commitment to diversity and inclusion. To bring this concept to life, Samsung, in conjunction with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will launch the project, where Olympic athletes and fans stay connected and enjoy a virtual walk together via the Samsung Health app. The brand hopes this will inspire consumers to unlock their potential, and not only to feel and share the excitement but also to create it.

Samsung aims to spread the Olympic spirit through our innovative products, enabling all fans around the world to stay connected and share the excitement of the Olympic movement,” said Dudu Mokholo, Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung Africa. “We are proud to extend our involvement as it is meaningful to us to inspire people through the passion that lies behind the Games and contribute to a healthier life for all. This is also an exciting moment for South Africans to rally behind our talented athletes as they go for gold”.

How the #StrongerTogether Challenge works

• People around the world and South Africa, influencers and athletes, will be invited to walk together ‘virtually’ in a challenge powered by the Samsung Health App
• Participants’ steps will be accumulated during the challenge period
• There will be milestone pop-ups in the Samsung Health app and special digital badges for goal achievers
• South Africans are encouraged to participate and look out for the #StrongerTogether hashtag as they proudly support local athletes

On your Samsung device > Go to Samsung Health app > Click Together tab icon > Click Challenge card> and join the movement!

The ultimate aim is to remind people to stay stronger and united as global citizens through the power of human connection and technology, in a celebration of cultural diversity. It echoes the Olympic theme of Striving For Your Personal Best.

“Samsung, as a proud Olympics partner will showcase how innovative Galaxy technology including the power of 5G and intelligent health-focused innovations can change lives for the better. We’re pleased to offer technology that is available to all and exclusive to none,” concludes Mokholo.

Cheers!!!

World’s First 11.1.4-Channel #Soundbar @SamsungSA - A Closer Look

Hi Friends, 

Over the years, Samsung has delivered a broad range of high-fidelity audio solutions for a variety of experiences and living space set-ups. In a time when consumers have access to an endless range of content, Samsung’s devices, televisions and viewing solutions are playing a role in more and more facets of people’s lives.

Earlier this year, Samsung Electronics introduced the world’s first 11.1.4 channel soundbar, which helps bring consumers right into the midst of the action with rich, room-filling sound. And it has been Samsung’s relentless audio innovation over the years that have helped bring about the high-end technology and consumer experiences we enjoy today. This innovation is underpinned by a focus on research and development and emerging content formats, as well as a willingness to adapt to consumer feedback and behaviour.

In 2016, Samsung released its HW-K950 soundbar, which transformed static sound into three-dimensional formats to allow users to enjoy sound that moves up and down and from left to right. Since then, Samsung has invested in expanding these features, which have now been enhanced to deliver technology that measures room acoustics and delivers richer auditory experiences and sleeker designs. Below, Samsung Newsroom takes a closer look at the captivating experiences delivered by the new soundbar’s upgrades and technological features.

The Inaugural 11.1.4-Channel Soundbar

The newly-released HW-Q950A soundbar delivers a more advanced 11.1.4–channel set up to provide a more vivid surround sound effect in action-packed scenes like those involving car chases and aeroplanes in flight. By using only four speakers (a main soundbar speaker, a subwoofer, and two rear speakers), Samsung’s 2021 HW-Q950A soundbar produces a standard of high-quality sound that other premium AV receivers would need double the power and number of inputs to match.

Just a few years ago, only high-end, multi-component home theatre setups allowed for immersive sound experiences that produced 3D surround sound. But now, with the release of Samsung’s HW-Q950A soundbar and its 11.1.4–channel sound, users can enjoy realistic audio with only their soundbar.

But what exactly do these channel numbers mean? A two-channel system consists of a stereo with two speakers on the left and right, while a three-channel system adds an additional speaker to this two-channel setup for crisper audio output. 3.1–channel setups feature an additional subwoofer (the .1 channel) for low-frequency sounds, while 5.1-channel systems add rear speakers to deliver enhanced sound that extends behind viewers. The 5.1.4–channel setup seen in soundbars includes two additional height channel speakers that produce three-dimensional surround sound to deliver the sound of objects moving off-screen.

In 2016, Samsung launched the HW-K950 soundbar, which was the first to deliver a 5.1.4–channel setup and three-dimensional surround sound. Then, the HW-N950 model released in 2018 delivered 7.1.4–channel sound by adding a surround channel to the side of the soundbar. Today, the HW-Q950T model delivers a 9.1.4–channel system by adding a wide surround channel that delivers sound from the front and sides of the viewer for a 360-degree audio experience.

Improving Sound Through Calibration

In typical home viewing setups, depending on the size of the room, sounds often reflect off walls, ceilings and floors, which can cause the audio to sound different than intended. In order to reduce such disparities, Samsung has developed the SpaceFit Sound feature, which harmonises audio levels and contributes to sounds being delivered as they were originally developed in production.

Recognising the size and reverberation characteristics of the room, select Samsung soundbars to utilise the built-in microphone and DSP in QLED TVs to deliver optimal sound. This collaboration feature is available in soundbar models HW-Q700A and above and QLED TV models Q70A and above from this year.

What’s more, the Samsung soundbar models above the HW-Q900A also include the Auto EQ feature, which analyses surrounding spaces with a built-in microphone mounted on the subwoofer instead of using the TV microphone. This offers optimised sound by calibrating excessively amplified low frequencies and sounds that are offset by other audio. This feature doesn’t require the use of an active TV microphone, is available across all TV models and is an ideal fit for both older and newer televisions.

S Series Soundbars Add Central Speaker for Room-filling Sound

The new S Series Soundbar includes a central speaker and now boasts five channels compared to the four-channel systems in existing models.

This series, which is popular with consumers for its minimalist design and smooth finishes, is the perfect addition to any living room. When groups of viewers watch TV without a central speaker, those sitting near the edges of the room can often only hear the sounds closest to them. Now, with the addition of the central speaker, consumers can enjoy room-filling, immersive audio that replicates a cinema-style environment.

Going forward, Samsung is also planning to incorporate its Q-Symphony technology in an increasing number of its products. This technology provides realistic 3D sound to allow consumers to enjoy even more immersive audio across a broad range of content.

Turning Heads And Transforming Kitchens @SamsungSA #GasCooker #BeautifulInsideOut

Hi Friends, 

In South Africa, there is a clear demand for appliances that offer greater cooking flexibility without compromising on exceptional design. Understanding that the kitchen is the hub of the home, which is used not only for preparing food but also for relaxing and entertaining, Samsung has developed the Samsung Stainless Steel Gas Cooker which encapsulates high-design principles and unrivalled functionality. It combines that unique balance of sophistication and minimalism with unparalleled cooking performance.

The reality is, as we cook at home more and more, little kitchen-related inconveniences and chores are also increasing in frequency and breaking into everyday routines. For example, cleaning grease on a gas stove, once a task was undertaken only occasionally, can become a burden when done too regularly – one that can even put you off from using the stove. Samsung’s Stainless Steel Gas Cooker addresses tiny details like this with surfaces that can be cleaned as easily as it is to add an Instagram filter #BeautifulInsideOut. You can even choose between a removable magnetic analogue knob and digital touch controls. And because it can be completely detached it also makes it easier to clean the entire surface of the cooktop.

What it also keeps away is a messy kitchen with the inclusion of a convenient extra built-in storage space.

A Storage Compartment under the oven cavity provides a handy place to keep dishes, pots, pans, and other oven accessories, so you can find everything quickly. Whatever you need to prepare and serve your meals can be kept within easy reach.

Many people in the country will also choose the Samsung Gas Cooker because it saves electricity and makes whipping up meals a breeze. However, it’s also the kind of appliance that you take a second look at when you leave the room. It’s an instant upgrade to your home with a premium and trendy look – timeless elegance you’ll be glad you chose.

This Samsung Gas Cooker is available at participating retailers at a Recommended Retail Price of R17,9991. It comes with a 2-year warranty and Signature Service². This premium service offers customers free delivery and installation.

1Price may vary depending on retailer pricing policy
