The pride of ownership doesn’t need loud declarations when it is nurtured through trust, consistency and community. When a brand like Samsung resonates deeply with millions, what matters more than celebrity endorsements are the real stories that celebrate people, progress and purpose.
To underline the impact Samsung has had on Malaysia for 35 years, the company has released a brand film featuring its spokespersons: a diverse group of Malaysians who are proud Samsung Galaxy owners.
With these Malaysians, their stories are not just testimonials; they are a reflection of Samsung’s commitment to innovation, inclusivity and connection.
Innovation that shapes everyday life
Over the decades since its inception in 1969 and its debut in Malaysia in 1991, Samsung has continuously enhanced everyday life with technology that is both ground-breaking and accessible.
For Malaysians, choosing Samsung is not about chasing trends. It’s a decision rooted in knowing your device will keep up with you every day. The Galaxy S series, for example, is the unrivalled camera phone leader, lauded by anyone determined to capture life’s precious moments with breathtaking clarity.
It is also championed as the concert phone to own, by those who refuse to settle for anything less than perfection when wanting to preserve unforgettable performances.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z series has revolutionized the concept of mobile technology, spearheading the era of foldable smartphones that have become powerhouses for productivity and immersive entertainment.
Samsung also appreciates that technology must be inclusive for it to truly be great. For those who seek dependable, budget-friendly options that do not compromise on performance, the Galaxy A series proves that innovation does not have to come at a premium.
Technology that lives quietly with you
Samsung offers a wider ecosystem of devices and solutions that are designed to complement each other. Whether you’re using a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch, everything works in harmony, reflecting Samsung’s deeper understanding of modern life: technology should simplify, not complicate.
With the introduction of Galaxy AI, which works hand in hand with Google’s Gemini AI, Samsung offers an intelligent companion that works intuitively with the users, not replace them.
From increasing productivity to supporting creativity, Samsung’s Galaxy AI-powered ecosystem and features like Circle to Search are designed to empower users, making technology an effortless extension of their lives.
Samsung’s 35 years in Malaysia isn’t just about longevity, but about a valuable relationship built on trust and progress. To every Malaysian that has welcomed Samsung into their lives with pride, thank you for staying this journey, and for making Samsung Your Companion to AI Living.
Powering Malaysian Lives; Connecting Futures
These stories of trust are not abstract ideas, or ones told by a single voice. They are lived and shared by real Malaysians across the country: from students capturing their academic milestones to professionals working on the go; from families staying connected across different time zones, to individuals pursuing their passions with the help of Galaxy AI technology.
The answer to “Why Samsung” isn’t simply found in one product. It lives in everyday moments, and it’s in the pride of ownership shared by millions of Malaysians in such an inherent way that “Why Samsung” becomes less a question, and more a way of
life.
This bold spirit comes to life in a video featuring Malaysians from all walks of life, reflecting decades of innovation grounded in meaningful experiences. Watch it here as you ponder: do you remember your first Samsung Galaxy?: https://youtu.be/eLOPsKnsMwk

LG Electronics (LG) will showcase its next-generation component technologies at AHR Expo 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, from February 2-4.
Powered by LG’s proprietary innovations, the company’s latest compressors and motors incorporate a pioneering design approach that fundamentally redefines structure, movement and position to elevate essential performance and efficiency.
With nearly 70 years of expertise in compressor and motor technologies, LG has established itself as a leading global supplier of core components for home appliances, including HVAC systems, refrigerators, washing machines and vacuum cleaners.
At this year’s exhibition, LG will introduce two proprietary technologies featured in its latest components: the LG BHA Series – DualJet™ for reciprocating compressors and LG CurvedSpoke™ for BLDC motors.
The LG BHA Series – DualJet™ represents a significant advancement in reciprocating compressors for refrigeration applications. Its dual-flow refrigerant structure balances internal pressure during compression, optimising refrigerant flow and improving efficiency while reducing energy consumption under real-world operating conditions.
To support long-term reliability, the compressor incorporates built-in protection and diagnostic functions that continuously monitor operating conditions, enabling proactive fault detection and system adjustment.
LG will also present the LG CurvedSpoke™ technology for BLDC motors used in residential air-conditioning indoor units. Featuring an arc-shaped magnet design, the technology decreases motor size by approximately 12 percent while increasing energy density through optimised curved magnet placement.
The result is high efficiency that supports system-level miniaturisation and overall weight reduction.
The HUAWEI Mate X7 is more than just a foldable smartphone; it represents a breakthrough in mobile imaging, where cutting-edge camera technology meets an ultra-slim, elegant design.
For years, foldable devices have faced the challenge of balancing sleek portability with flagship-level photography. With the HUAWEI Mate X7, that compromise is finally eliminated. Engineered to deliver uncompromised imaging performance in a refined foldable form, the HUAWEI Mate X7 redefines what users can expect from a flagship smartphone camera experience.
As festive seasons symbolise renewal and fresh beginnings, many are looking to upgrade to technology that can keep pace with life’s most meaningful moments. With Chinese New Year around the corner, celebrations are filled with colour, movement, and emotion from glowing lanterns and reunion dinners to vibrant performances and late-night gatherings.
Designed for these moments, the HUAWEI Mate X7 empowers users to capture every scene exactly as it appears, combining advanced colour accuracy, exceptional low-light performance, and cinematic depth in a device that unfolds new creative possibilities.
At the core of this experience is HUAWEI’s relentless pursuit of imaging excellence. The HUAWEI Mate X7 introduces the groundbreaking True-to-Colour Camera, powered by an innovative 4×4 spectral array that enhances colour accuracy by up to 43%.
This advanced sensor architecture captures light and colour information with exceptional precision, ensuring reds remain rich, gold tones shimmer naturally, and every festive hue is rendered true to life, even in challenging lighting conditions.
From brightly lit celebrations to intimate indoor moments, images retain their authenticity without oversaturation or colour distortion.
Agentic AI represents one of the most transformative shifts in artificial intelligence: systems that can plan, decide, and act autonomously to achieve goals.
Unlike earlier generations of AI that responded only to direct prompts, agentic AI is proactive, it can anticipate needs, coordinate tasks, and take initiative on behalf of users. When this level of intelligence is embedded into something as personal and always-on as a smartphone, excitement naturally comes with concern.
Smartphones are no longer just tools; they are extensions of our identities, holding our conversations, memories, schedules, financial information, and even health data.
Why Agentic AI Raises New Concerns
Unlike traditional AI that waits for instructions, agentic AI is designed to act independently within defined objectives. On a personal device, that autonomy introduces several legitimate concerns that go beyond typical discussions of AI accuracy or performance.
Privacy & Data Exposure
Agentic AI often requires access to large volumes of contextual data, messages, calendars, location history, usage patterns, to make intelligent decisions. Users are understandably concerned about how much data is accessed, how long it is retained, and whether it is processed locally or sent to the cloud.
Security Vulnerabilities
Any system capable of acting autonomously can become a target if not properly secured. If compromised, agentic AI could potentially be manipulated to perform unintended actions, making robust security architecture essential rather than optional.
Transparency & Explainability
When AI makes decisions on a user’s behalf, rescheduling meetings, prioritising notifications, suggesting actions, users want to understand the reasoning behind those choices.
A “black box” approach erodes confidence, even if outcomes are technically correct.
Loss of Control Perhaps the most emotional concern is the fear of losing agency. Users want assistance, not automation that feels intrusive or irreversible.
If AI acts without clear consent or the ability to intervene, trust quickly breaks down.
These concerns are not signs of resistance to innovation; they are signalling that user deeply care about trust, autonomy, and accountability.
The Solution Isn’t Less AI, It’s Better Guardrails
The answer to these challenges is not to slow innovation or limit AI capabilities, but to design smarter, stronger guardrails that ensure agentic AI remains aligned with human values and expectations.

CelcomDigi Berhad (CelcomDigi) today announced a strategic collaboration with Google’s Firebase and Telenor Linx to advance secure API-as-a-Service capabilities using telco-grade network intelligence.
Through this collaboration, phone number verification capabilities will be made available via Google’s Firebase platform, enabling developers to deliver secure, seamless and trusted digital onboarding experiences at scale.
With this initiative, CelcomDigi becomes the first telco in Malaysia to make network-based phone number verification services available on Google’s Firebase, redefining how users onboard and authenticate across digital services through a secure, one-tap experience.
A simpler, safer experience for everyday users
This advancement means users can now verify their mobile number instantly without relying on SMS One-Time Passwords (OTPs). When signing up for banking, e-commerce or ride-hailing apps, users no longer need to wait for an SMS code or worry about fake messages asking for OTPs.
Verification happens securely in the background through a trusted connection between the app and the mobile network, reducing friction while lowering the risk of scams, phishing and OTP interception.
By replacing SMS-based OTPs with API-led verification, phone number authentication is anchored on telco-grade network intelligence and enhanced by cloud-native scalability. This ensures higher security, greater reliability and a more seamless digital experience for end users.
