Hi Guys, 

As a bold innovator in audio products, Samsung Electronics South Africa is proud to announce that its Level U earphones have been selected as one of ‘The Best Headphones of 2015’ by PC Magazine.

Style, Comfort and Convenience 

The stylish Samsung Level U wireless earphones are aptly named, with a flexible U-shaped band that sits around the user’s neck. When not in use, the magnetic ear tips connect together, providing neat and convenient storage for the device. 

The ergonomic design of the Level U was created with consumers in mind with its flexible joints to increase around-the-neck comfort. The U-shape neckband also offers the perfect place for the device’s playback control buttons, with easy access to the volume, play/pause, track advance and the user’s phone from easy to use buttons.

In addition to its chic appearance, the Level U connects to any Bluetooth-enabled device to deliver uncompromised clear sound, making it the ideal choice for music on the go. The wireless earphones come with 12mm speaker units to offer high-quality output with generous bass and brilliant highs.

When calls are made using Level U, the dual-microphone noise reduction and echo cancellation ensure that outside sound interference and feedback is reduced, giving the users the uncompromised conversation they require. With a battery life of up to 10 hours of music play – 11 hours talk time – the Level U is the perfect companion for music lovers and busy conversationalists alike.

“This addition to the Level series cements our dedication to providing our consumers with the opportunity to luxuriate themselves in the benefits of technology designed for everyday life,” concludes Fleischer.

I would love to use these earphones if given a chance to do so. Till that time, I will continue to use Bose or Sony earphones I always carry in my laptop bag.

@SamsungSA Debuts ‘The Chant’ #Film #GoForGold #RioOlympics2016

Hi Guys, 

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Worldwide Olympic Partner in the Wireless Communications Equipment category, has released ‘The Chant’, its latest film, which features South Sudanese athlete, Margret Rumat Rumar Hassan. The 400-metre runner hopes to compete under her own nation’s flag during the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as South Sudan will be sending a team to the event for the first time ever.

"The Chant" is a continuation of Samsung’s support of the Olympics’ pioneering spirit, highlighting perseverance and the will to get back up again against the odds, which is ultimately what leads to meaningful progress,” explains Michelle Potgieter, Director: Corporate Marketing & Communications at Samsung South Africa. “Through ‘The Chant’, Samsung introduces the world to yet another powerful story of defying barriers. The film conveys how the Olympic Games inspire harmony and celebrate the progress of the human race, generating cultural, personal and technological connections.”

Margret Rumat Rumar Hassan - Powerful Story of Defying Barriers

‘The Chant’ opens with Margret in the locker room where she puts in Samsung Gear IconX cord-free earbuds, paired with her Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. As Margret walks from the locker room to the stadium, viewers are transported to a village in South Sudan where the entire nation is chanting her name to cheer her on and celebrate her journey. As Margret enters the stadium, the chanting disappears, but she remains strong and confident. 

Through this film, Samsung celebrates not only the individual progress of Margret, but also the development of South Sudan as this nation will participate in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for the very first time. ‘The Chant’ ends with an inspiring message showcasing Samsung’s commitment to the Olympic Games as the “Proud Sponsor of Those who Defy Barriers”. 

Earlier this year, Samsung released a short documentary film, ‘A Fighting Chance’, sharing the untold stories of courage, hope and persistence that four Olympic Games hopefuls embrace, while defying barriers, to achieve their dreams of earning an Olympic medal and helping their countries to make history. 

‘The Chant’ continues this showcase of courage and is the next chapter in Samsung’s celebration of those who push the definition of what is possible and uphold the brand’s unique vision that determination through the extraordinary leads to meaningful progress,” Potgieter concludes.

About Samsung’s Involvement in the Olympic Games

Samsung began its Olympic Games involvement as a local sponsor of the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games. Beginning with the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games, the company extended its commitment to the Olympic Movement as the Worldwide Olympic Partner in the Wireless Communications Equipment category, providing its proprietary wireless communications platform, called Wireless Olympic Works (WOW), and mobile devices. These innovative mobile phone technologies provide the Olympic Family with real-time, user location-based information services, interactive communications and Samsung Pay. Samsung hosts various Olympic campaigns to share the excitement of the Olympic Games with people around the world and enable everyone to participate in the Games through its innovative mobile technology. Samsung’s commitment as a Worldwide Olympic Partner continues through to Rio 2016, PyeongChang 2018, and Tokyo 2020.

About Margret Rumat Rumar Hassan (400-metre runner, South Sudan)

In South Sudan, Margret Rumat Rumar Hassan grew up amidst civil unrest and a male-dominant society. Despite being displaced with her family during the war with Sudan, Margret was encouraged by a close friend to participate in a competitive race, leading her to discover an innate talent: running. After training on her own, Margret was provided with a place in athletics and competed as an Independent Olympic Athlete during the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games. In 2015, South Sudan National Olympic Committee (NOC) was admitted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), giving Margret hopes to compete under her own nation’s flag for the first time during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Modular Design Linked To "Play" Theme #LgG5 @LGMobileSA #LGPlayMore

Hi Guys, 

Juno Cho, President at LG Corporation in Korea described the new LG G5 device as an “adventurous theme park in your pocket” and we couldn’t agree more. A round of applause to the mobile smartphone of the year!

With an encased sleek all metal body design, always on display, a camera that offers a viewing angle that is approximately 1.7 times wider than those of existing smartphone and an innovative modular design that is able to transform the phone into a digital camera, hi-fi player and more. How has LG achieved such an accomplishment of technical wizardry?

The idea behind the LG G5 modular design, was to stand out from the rest of the premium-end smartphones in the industry and build an all-metal device whilst retaining the removable battery. The LG G5 surpasses the visual experience of its predecessor, the LG G4. The modular design of the G5 (the slide-out bottom), is a standout feature and headline grabber. It allows you to slide out the bottom half to replace the battery, add in the LG Cam Plus accessory, 360 degrees VR cameras, Hi – Fi Plus and more.

“LG Mobile has acquired a reputation for being an industry pioneer, offering solid mobile electronic options to consumers across the market spectrum. The G5 introduced a modular design first of its kind in the world with a wide range of companion devices. This innovation delivers fun while providing a new mobile experience far beyond traditional smartphone boundaries. Until this innovation, both were not possible,” says Deon Prinsloo, General Manager for LG Mobile at LG Electronics South Africa.

Additionally, LG has a built a great reputation as one of the leaders in smartphone cameras. The G5 offers its consumers dual cameras, one with a standard 78-degree lens and the other with a 135-degree wide angle lens, the widest available in any smartphone. The 135-degree lens on the LG G5 offers a viewing angle that is approximately 1.7 times wider than those of existing smartphone cameras and 15-degrees wider than the human eye’s field of view. 

The G5 weighs 159 grams and the rear power button and fingerprint scanner is vastly improved over the LG G4 and LG V10. The top of the 5.3 inch QHD display has a cool effect with the glass curves down towards the back. 

The 5.3-inch QHD IPS Quantum display on the LG G5 offers an Always-on feature, the first on an IPS smartphone display. What more can one ask for in a smartphone? The LG G5 is currently available at leading operators nationwide.

Cheers!!!
