When Your Air-Conditioner Starts Listening to Your Body

For years, the concept of a “smart bedroom” has centred around convenience. Devices could be
controlled through apps, scheduled to turn on and off, or adjusted remotely. But true smart living goes beyond automation.

Today, technology is beginning to respond to the human body itself. Instead of relying on fixed settings, the bedroom is becoming a responsive environment — one that adapts to you as you sleep.

At the centre of this shift is Good Sleep mode, now enhanced to work seamlessly with both the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch. Through the Samsung SmartThings ecosystem, cooling is no longer simply programmed — it becomes biometric-responsive.

From passive tracking to responsive living
Sleep tracking has become a familiar part of many wellness routines. Wearables monitor sleep
cycles, movement and heart rate, providing users with a score or summary the next morning.
But what if the data didn’t just sit in a report?

By linking your wearable — whether it’s the Galaxy Ring or Galaxy Watch — to your air-conditioner via SmartThings, your sleep data is activated in real time. The system detects when you fall asleep and automatically initiates Good Sleep mode, removing the need for manual adjustments.

What follows is not automation as we know it.
It’s a system that responds continuously, throughout the night.

Samsung Powers ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’’ with Galaxy

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced a global partnership with ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG,’’ unveiling a new concert experience powered by Galaxy mobile technology that brings artists and the audience closer together.

BTS and ARMY have built a cultural movement that brings everyone together to celebrate self-expression and connection through music. This resulted in a global impact that fosters authentic shared experiences — values that resonate deeply with Samsung’s Galaxy brand philosophy.

By harnessing the power of music and technology, Samsung and the ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’’ are empowering people to capture special moments and share them with the world.

“Samsung believes that technology enriches everyday experiences,” said Stephanie Choi, EVP and Head of the Mobile Marketing Center, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics.

“Through this collaboration, Galaxy will serve as a bridge connecting artists and the audience, enabling people to experience concert moments more meaningfully and preserve and share those memories for longer.”

Building on Galaxy’s vision of meaningful, connected experiences, Samsung is reimagining the traditional concert viewing experience by enabling the audience to emotionally engage with artists and their performances in more immersive ways.

In particular, the Galaxy S26 Ultra camera captures memorable moments from live performances, allowing the audience around the world to relive and share the experience, bringing the energy and emotion of the concert into their everyday lives.

“Fans are at the heart of everything we do, shaping our music and journey together with us,” said Lee Jae-sang, CEO of HYBE. “Through this partnership with Samsung Electronics, we hope fans can experience concerts more vividly and create lasting memories.”

‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’’ will begin in Goyang, South Korea, and continue in major cities around the world through 2027.

Samsung Brings Classical Melodies to Galaxy S26 Ringtones

Samsung Electronics has introduced two new ringtones featuring classical masterpieces on the Galaxy S26 series.

Drawing on works by Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel, the sounds create a deeper, more immersive listening experience in everyday life.

A Sound Philosophy Inspired by Nature
Galaxy has established “Inspired by Nature” as the core concept of its sound design, applying it across all interaction sounds — from ringtones to touch sounds. Extending this philosophy, Samsung brings nature-inspired classical music to Galaxy, creating a more refined listening experience in everyday interactions.

New ringtones on the Galaxy S26 series include Bach’s “Prélude” from Cello Suite No. 1, whose symmetry, repetition and harmony evoke natural patterns such as plant growth and ocean waves.

Optional: Embed “Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-S26-Series-New-Bach-and-Handel-Classical-

Also included is Handel’s “Alla Hornpipe” from Water Music Suite No. 2, famously performed on the River Thames for King George and known for its flowing rhythm and structured progression.

Both pieces were previously used as ringtones during the Anycall era of the 1990s and 2000s, returning as familiar, nostalgic melodies.

Global Collaboration Behind the Sound
Global experts collaborated throughout the recording process to enhance sound quality. The ringtones were recorded at Abbey Road Studios — the world’s first recording studio and the birthplace of many iconic Beatles tracks.

Jonathan Allan handled recording and mixing in London, while Tae Ho Lee of MiXNBLE led mastering in Seoul, highlighting East–West collaboration.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, a world-renowned U.K. symphony orchestra, performed both pieces. The Bach piece features co-principal cellist Jonathan Ayling.

A Unified Vision for Galaxy Sound
The new ringtones on the Galaxy S26 series go beyond simple alerts, reflecting Galaxy’s sound identity shaped by nature-inspired design and refined technology.

“Classical music transcends time and space, resonating deeply with people,” said Myoung Woo Nam, Principal Sound Designer, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “We hope more users can experience classical music naturally in daily life through Galaxy.”

Samsung Micro RGB TV Receives Safety for Eyes and Circadian Rhythm Display Certifications From VDE

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced that its Micro RGB TV (R95H model) has received both the Safety for Eyes and Circadian Rhythm Display (CRD) certifications from Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE), a leading global testing institute based in Germany.

Derived from VDE’s broader EyeCare Circadian certification, these certifications adopt a more refined evaluation framework, independently verifying eye safety and circadian rhythm support for a more rigorous assessment of display performance.

This shift provides consumers with a more comprehensive assurance of comfortable viewing experiences. Specifically, the Safety for Eyes certification evaluates display safety for prolonged viewing by analyzing light emissions from digital devices, with a particular focus on blue light and its impact on eye health.

Meanwhile, the CRD certification examines how well a display supports the user’s biological clock. It measures the display’s ability to mimic natural light by adjusting color temperature and brightness based on time of day, while also reducing blue light in the evening to prevent melatonin suppression — supporting natural circadian rhythm and visual comfort.

Samsung’s Micro RGB meets the rigorous standards set by both certifications, demonstrating its
commitment to eye safety and comfort. The display’s advanced Micro RGB LED architecture is especially noteworthy in that it finely adjusts brightness and color to create optimal viewing conditions at any time of day.

Having secured Safety for Eyes certification for its 2026 TV lineup and CRD for premium models, Samsung is now expanding CRD certification to a broader range of products.

“Micro RGB TV is setting a new standard in the premium TV market by being verified for both eye safety and circadian rhythm support,” said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.

“We will continue to deliver display technologies that consider our users’ viewing environments and enhance their lifestyles.”

PRESENTING ROLLS-ROYCE CULLINAN YACHTING

Rolls-Royce presents Cullinan Yachting: four Private Commissions celebrating the aesthetics, materials and spirit of contemporary yachting.

From shared design values with racing vessels to collaborations with marine designers for clients who wish to pair their motor car with their yacht, maritime craft has long informed our approach. In these four Bespoke commissions, that long-standing association is expressed through meticulous marine-inspired details and authentic materials, true to the spirit of adventure that defines Cullinan and the world of yachting alike.”

Galaxy Buds4 Series Elevates Call Clarity with HD Voice

At the recent Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung Electronics introduced the most advanced Galaxy Buds to date.

Galaxy Buds4 Series sound as good as they feel, with hi-res audio and design innovations that maximize everyday wearability. The Galaxy Buds4 series redefines the experience of using premium earbuds — prioritizing quality and comfort.

Galaxy users can instantly connect Buds4 Pro or Buds4 to the ecosystem of devices they already enjoy by simply opening the Buds cradle. When paired with the Galaxy S26 series, together they deliver crisp and clear conversations.

From juggling work calls to catching up with loved ones, you’ll hear the difference loud and clear with HD voice.

How does HD voice work?
The clarity begins with advanced AI-powered noise reduction. The Galaxy Buds4 series uses multiple microphones that collect sounds from different directions, along with a Voice Pick Up Unit (VPU) which helps detect and prioritize users’ voices.

Advanced networks then analyze the sound in real time to separate speech from background noise such as traffic, wind, or other nearby conversations. Traditional Bluetooth calls capture voice frequencies with a limited bandwidth, causing speech to sound compressed and less natural.

HD voice preserves more natural detail during communications by doubling the Bluetooth bandwidth to 16kHz, called super wide band. HD voice also uses machine learning models trained for noise reduction and voice enhancement to enable a wider range of the human
voice to be transmitted.

Wider Audio Range Brings Out Every Word
This expanded range helps capture subtle sounds like “s”, “z”, “th”, and “f”, which help distinguish words that are hard to understand in standard Bluetooth calls. By preserving these details, conversations are clearer and more natural.

By combining intelligent noise reduction and expanded Bluetooth bandwidth, HD voice creates a call experience that feels closer to speaking in person. Galaxy Buds are the only Bluetooth earbuds that can support HD voice on Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
