It's Time To #UnboxYourPhone As #GalaxyS8 Launches in #SouthAfrica @SamsungSA

Hi Guys,

The long wait is over, with the new Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ hit local stores on May 5, 2017. The smooth, bezel-less Infinity Display of the new smartphone enables users to see and do more than ever before, while the smooth lines and ergonomic curvature of the device, ensures that the phone looks great and fits comfortably into your hand.

These latest designs are available with either a 5.8-inch or 6.2-inch display and come with an upgraded 8MP F1.7 front camera, complete with smart autofocus. In addition, there is a 12MP F1.7 Dual Pixel rear camera, delivering enhanced multi-frame image processing, for sharper photos, even in low-light environments.

“The phone is also water and dust resistant, making it ideal for South Africans, as we tend to spend a lot of time outdoors. This means users have the freedom to explore, stay connected and capture their adventures,” says Craige Fleischer, Director of Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa.

Security is of paramount importance and the Galaxy S8 and S8+ come with enhanced biometric capabilities, including an advanced iris scanner and facial recognition technology, as well as the advanced Samsung KNOX platform. The upgraded specs of the two phones offer both increased performance and efficiency thanks to the industry’s first 10nm processor, Gigabit LTE and Gigabit Wi-Fi compatibility and the first officially designated Mobile HDR Premium screen.

Samsung’s key partnership with Google Play Music will continue with the launch of the Galaxy S8. Users will now have access to special features created specifically for Samsung customers. In order to qualify, purchase a Samsung tablet or smartphone from the 29th of March 2017 and it will come with a free three-month trial of Google Play Music. Consumers will also have double the storage in their Music Locker and can now store up to 100 000 songs, not to mention the free storage space and easy access to all music.

“The launch of the Galaxy S8 is complimented by an expanded ecosystem that features impressive new services and devices, including Bixby, the Galaxy S8’s intelligent new interface; Samsung DeX, which provides a desktop-like experience for the Galaxy S8; intuitive IoT device management via Samsung Connect; expanded healthcare solutions through Samsung Health; and so much more. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are designed to allow users to see and experience more than ever before and to do so safely and securely, while at the same time enabling consumers to project an image of stylish simplicity,” concludes Fleischer.

Customers will be able to obtain their device in a range of rich colour palettes, including Midnight Black, Orchid Gray and Maple Gold. Several more colours are also due to be launched later in the year. The Galaxy S8 will retail at a Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of R15 499 and the Galaxy S8+ with an RRP of R17 499.

Improved #LGStylus3 #Smartphone Launched @LGMobileSA @LGSouthAfrica

Hi Guys,

The Consumer Technology Association (CES) 2017, a global consumer electronics and consumer technology tradeshow first announced LG Electronics’ (LG) newly improved smartphone to the world in January this year. LG’s Stylus 3 has finally reached South African shores, to the delight of many consumers who waited with bated breath for its launch date. The high-end smartphone is now available from Vodacom and MTN.

The improved specifications and highlights of the device is what makes it unique and an impressive upgrade from the Stylus 2. For starters, consumers can look forward to an improved Pen Pop 2.0 and Precision Tip. Upon removing the pen, a menu of useful tasks that include a Pop Memo, Pop Scanner and thumbnail previews of recent notes you’ve made appears. The new and improved 1.8mm fine-tip pen allows users to create notes, draw and select with improved precision – It’s the best mouse for your smartphone! The new pen keeper feature also alerts you with a pop up message, if your pen wanders too far, so you don’t have a to worry about losing it.

The LG Stylus 3 also features an 8MP selfie camera, giving you photos and videos that are more crisp and vivid than ever before. The Auto Shot feature automatically recognises an individual’s face and takes a selfie without having to press a button once both the device and the object are still. The full-featured 13MP rear camera is equally as impressive, allowing consumers to capture life’s special moments in striking detail. The 2.54/7.77cm sensor and ultra-bright F2.2 lens catches light even in the darkest conditions, resulting in clear, sharp and sharable pictures, every time.

The days of a slow smartphone that is unable to run multiple programs at once is a thing of the past, thanks to the Stylus 3’s enhanced performance. The fuss-free 1.5GHz Octa-Core processor along with 2GB RAM and 16GB memory can handle multiple complicated tasks at once, meaning consumers can now enjoy a fast, seamless digital experience without the lagging. Charging worries also become obsolete with the Stylus 3’s removable 3,200mAh long-lasting battery that allows for switching on the go.

The Stylus 3’s integrated design is another feature that sets it apart from mobile devices before it. The elegant metallic side, thin 7.4mm sleek body and integrated pen makes for practicality and a mobile device you’d be proud to own. LG Electronics is confident that South African consumers will take to the newly improved Stylus 3 as favourably as they did with the generations before it.

Hi Guys,

Acer announced a new series of 4K display products at its next@acer global press conference in New York, including the new H7850 and V7850 4K projectors for home cinema enthusiasts as well as the new ProDesigner™ PE320QK 4K LED monitor for creative professionals. The projectors features 4K Ultra High-Definition (UHD) resolution, HDR- and Rec. 2020-compatibility and AcuMotion technology to deliver exceptional value and performance to mainstream audio/video enthusiasts. The new ProDesigner PE320QK monitor incorporates Acer HDR Xpert™ technology for exceptional contrast, supports USB Type-C and features an attractive ZeroFrame design to appeal to design-minded professionals.

“With 4K content being increasingly available through the rise of streaming services, Acer is gladly expanding our display portfolio for both media consumption and content creation,” said Victor Chien, President of Digital Display Business, Acer Inc. “Through a solid spectrum of projectors and monitors, we deliver premium visual experiences catering to a wide range of user demands.”

Immerse Yourself into the 4K Experience
As the Acer H7850 and V7850 project razor-sharp images onto screens of up to 120-inches. Users can experience the stunning image quality that 4K resolution brings, up close and personal. With more than 8.3 million on-screen pixels, both the H7850 and V7850 feature TI XPR technology, which ensures that fine image details come alive. With the prevalence of online video services, premium 4K streaming content is more accessible than ever before. These projectors will allow users to enjoy the ultra-high resolution experience on the big screen without venturing out to the cinema.

HDR-Compatible for Stunning Reality
Both the Acer H7850 and V7850 are HDR-compatible (High Dynamic Range), reproducing a greater dynamic range of luminosity with expanded contrast and a wider range of brightness. The projectors adjust to brighter scenes so the highlights glimmer with detail, while in darker scenes, rich blacks are preserved and details typically hidden in the shadows are enhanced for greater overall luminance. Both projectors provide a DynamicBlack™ contrast ratio up to a whopping 1,000,000:1 thanks to frame-by-frame analysation and dynamic adjustments of lamp power for black-level optimisation.

Catering to a wider range of user preferences, the H7850 has a brightness advantage with a 3,000-lumens rating. The V7850 includes a RGBRGB colour wheel which helps produce a wider colour gamut, and supports the Rec. 709 standard to faithfully reproduce original colours and tones, staying true to the film director’s intentions. Both models are compatible with Rec. 2020 signals, the UHDTV standard. The H7850 also features a sleek, elegant industrial design that was honured with a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2017.

Smooth Action with AcuMotion
The H7850 and V7850 projectors also support Acer’s proprietary AcuMotion technology that enhances picture clarity in fast-moving scenes and reduces motion blur. It generates intermediate frames and inserts them between existing ones, which prevents unwanted flickering, making it ideal for watching the big game or action movies. Both projectors include Acer’s ExtremeECO power-saving feature that can reduce power consumption by up to 70% and extend lamp life by up to 15,000 hours.

ProDesigner™ PE320QK Monitor for Content Creators
Acer’s new ProDesigner PE320QK monitor features ultra high-definition 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) for displaying high-quality images in amazing detail. Photographers, video editors and others working in creative industries will appreciate the monitors’ HDR Xpert™ technology, which enhances brightness for a vivid contrast between lights and darks, while covering a wider gamut for truly vibrant colours. The monitor’s sleek ZeroFrame designs virtually eliminate the screen bezel for a seamless visual experience, adding a new style benefit with a touch of modern charm to the office. It includes a reversible USB-C port for easily connecting and charging devices to reduce desktop clutter, supporting power delivery of up to 85W. The ProDesigner PE320QK monitor produces accurate colours with a low Delta E < 1, supporting 130% of the sRGB and 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The monitors also sport Acer VisionCare technology to reduce eye strain and fatigue during long editing sessions.

Pricing and Availability
The H7850 will be available from October 2017 at a RRP of R 39 999 intended for purchase at Incredible Connection and Takealot.
