The potential of AI is limitless, but to truly unlock the full potential of what it can do, user inputs that power personalised experiences are critical. AI needs to understand you — your preferences and your routines — to deliver a mobile experience that feels like a natural extension of your everyday life.

Intuitive, context-aware Galaxy AI features bring these personalised experiences to life, transforming your smartphone from a tool to a smart companion that anticipates your needs and offers suggestions designed to make your life more productive, creative and connected.

To deliver a fully personalised experience, your device naturally needs access to certain data. This is what allows AI to understand you and tailor its responses in ways that are genuinely helpful and suited to your lifestyle.

To ensure your personal data is safeguarded in this era of AI, we’re constantly innovating data protection on your device, so that nothing falls into the wrong hands.

Personalisation Made Possible with the Personal Data Engine
Samsung Electronics’ Personal Data Engine (PDE) 1 is a key component of safely delivering these highly personal experiences. First introduced with the Galaxy S25 series, the PDE is the powerhouse behind some of Galaxy’s most life-changing AI experiences yet.

It works silently behind the scenes to learn from your habits and preferences, resulting in a truly personalised, unique experience. Whether it’s Now Brief guiding you through your day with curated updates or simply finding that one perfect photo in your Gallery with natural language input, Galaxy AI makes every AI-powered action feel seamless.

And because the PDE safely processes your data on-device, you can enjoy all the benefits of deeply customised AI — without compromising privacy.

Powerful Advancements with Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection
To further strengthen the security of Galaxy AI experiences, Samsung developed Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) 3 — a powerful new layer of on-device security that protects your most sensitive data without interrupting your experience.

First developed for the PDE, KEEP now also safeguards other Galaxy AI features like Smart Suggestions, Now Brief, Samsung Moments and more, running quietly in the background to ensure that each supported app is kept secure.

Powered by Infinix AI, the XPAD 20 introduces a suite of intelligent tools that enhance daily productivity. Users can activate the Folax voice assistant with a simple “Hi Folax” command for hands-free interaction.

The Folax voice assistant supports AI Multimodal Content Search and One-Tap Screen Inquiry, allowing users to search and interact with content across formats from images and documents to web pages, without ever leaving their current screen.

Students will also appreciate the AI-Powered Homework Solver, Image-to-Document Conversion, and AI Image Generation, which make tackling assignments, extracting notes, and generating creative content more seamless than ever.

Multitasking is also enhanced with the XPAD 20’s AI Screen Recognition by converting non-selectable text such as screenshots or scanned PDFs into editable content, allowing users to instantly save images or visual elements without the need for screenshots, reducing the need to switch between apps, thereby enabling a more fluid user experience.

Meanwhile, the XPAD 20’s AI Translation offers intelligent, real-time multilingual support — especially useful in Malaysia’s culturally diverse environment. Users can translate foreign text captured by the device’s camera through image translation, or highlight specific sections of a document while maintaining the original formatting.

With the XPAD 20’s in-app translation, students and professionals can engage in real-time multilingual conversations on platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp, while live translation supports two-way dialogue for daily communication.

With Multi-Device Collaboration, users can seamlessly sync with smartphones or laptops, transfer files instantly, and co-create across screens. This makes it ideal for hybrid learning, mobile productivity, or multitasking on the move.

Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) has achieved a major milestone with the successful departure of its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo from the newly operational LNG Canada facility in Kitimat, British Columbia (B.C.), Canada.

The shipment departed for Japan today aboard the 174,000-cbm Puteri Sejinjang LNG vessel, marking a significant milestone for PETRONAS’ investment in Canada.

Datuk Adif Zulkifli, PETRONAS Executive Vice President & CEO of Gas and Maritime Business said, “PETRONAS’ first cargo sail away is the culmination of years of perseverance to realise our vision for Canadian LNG exports to the Asia Pacific region. We are privileged to commemorate this moment with LNG Canada, our other joint venture partners, the Haisla Nation, Kitimat community, and Canadians at large. PETRONAS is honoured to be a part of this first-of-its-kind project in Canada.”

Designed to be one of the lowest-emissions LNG export facilities globally, LNG Canada features energy-efficient gas turbines, advanced methane-leak detection and mitigation systems, and power sourced from the BC Hydro grid, predominantly powered by hydroelectric and renewable energy.

These innovations enable the facility to operate with a GHG intensity that is approximately 35% lower than the existing best-performing LNG plants around the world, and about 60% below the global average, underscoring its steadfast pledge to supplying lower carbon, responsibly sourced LNG.

This milestone reinforces PETRONAS’ position as a reliable LNG supplier, with LNG Canada serving as a strategic addition to its growing global network of supply nodes.

With a 25% equity holding in the project, through its wholly owned entity North Montney LNG Limited Partnership, LNG Canada is a critical component of PETRONAS’ global LNG strategy to diversify its supply portfolio and increase market flexibility.

Strategically located on Canada’s west coast and connected to PETRONAS’ upstream gas assets in Northeast B.C., LNG Canada offers a direct and efficient shipping corridor to key North Asian markets including Japan, South Korea and China.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced a new set of security and privacy updates rolling out with its upcoming Samsung Galaxy smartphones with One UI 8.

These updates reinforce Samsung’s commitment to delivering powerful, trusted mobile technology in a rapidly evolving digital world by introducing new protections for on-device AI, expanding cross-device threat detection and enhancing network security with quantum-resistant encryption.

Next-Generation Mobile Security for AI Personalisation
Samsung is introducing Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), a new architecture designed to safeguard the next generation of personalised, AI-powered features, as its latest innovation in mobile security.

KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device’s secure storage area, ensuring that each app can access only its own sensitive information and nothing more.

Supporting Galaxy’s Personal Data Engine (PDE), 2 KEEP helps secure a user’s deeply personal insights – such as routines and preferences – that enable features like Now Brief and Smart Gallery search.

These insights stay entirely on-device, protected by KEEP and further secured by Knox Vault, Samsung’s tamper-resistant hardware security environment. The result is a seamless foundation for Galaxy AI that delivers personalised intelligence while keeping data tightly contained and under the user’s control.

KEEP’s system-level structure allows it to scale across Galaxy AI innovations. In addition to PDE, it now protects Now Brief, Smart Suggestions and other on-device features that rely on user-specific inputs – enabling more advanced AI experiences without compromising privacy.

With KEEP, Samsung is redefining how mobile devices safeguard data in the background to elevate privacy from a setting to an embedded design principle.
