Capture, curate, and convey unforgettable moments with the all-new Samsung Galaxy M53 5G

 For creatives, living life is not enough. They need to document it through photos and videos for social media. Capturing and curating moments are not just to create a visual diary for others to see, it is also a way for them to express themselves and preserve special memories.

Samsung is empowering creatives to capture picture-perfect moments with the Quad Camera of the new Galaxy M53 5G.

Self Portraits and Reels are always clear and vibrant with the 108MP Main camera. It takes in more light from darkness, highlighting all the details in incredible high-resolution photos and videos. Even far-away subjects such as great views are brought closer with Hybrid Optic Zoom, with reduced noise for sharper content.

The 8MP Ultra-Wide Camera is even more useful as Filipinos continue to travel amid relaxed border restrictions. This lens expands to have a clearer view and captures more of the mountains, sea, and skyscrapers in the frame.

While the Ultra-Wide lens takes a step back to include more in the frame, the 2MP Macro Camera does the opposite. It zooms in to highlight ultra-fine details, such as each individual petal on a flower, or the drizzle of sugar on a dessert. A gentle blur is applied to the background to make the subject pop.

This bokeh effect also applies to the AI-powered dual-lens 32MP Front Camera. Selfies look professionally shot through the wide and depth lenses and the background blur.

Take content to the next level

The Galaxy M53 5G is a creative’s dream. It’s easy to edit photos and create Instagram Reels on the 6.7” Infinity-O Display since the borders have been reduced to increase the screen size. The FHD+ Super AMOLED Plus display promises true-to-life colors.

5G connectivity lets creatives share Facebook photos, TikTok videos, and even long-form vlogs at lightning speed. This hyperfast connection is also useful when going live on Instagram.

The smartphone’s high storage capacity, which starts at 256GB and is expandable by up to 1TB, is enough to keep all memories without having to transfer or delete anything. RAM Plus gives extra space to run apps smoothly, while the 120 Hz refresh rate makes using the smartphone virtually lag-free.

All these features combined make the Galaxy M53 5G the ideal device to help creatives capture, curate, and embrace their special moments.

Samsung’s latest smartphone is available in Blue, Green, and Brown. Customers can purchase the smartphone for PHP 29,990 SRP but is currently offered at PHP 3,000 off at Samsung Authorized Online Stores from July 1 to September 30.^[1] Customers can purchase the device for PHP 26,990 for a limited time only at Samsung.com and online platforms like Lazada, Shopee, and Abenson.com.

Capture special moments and preserve them as memories with the Galaxy M53 5G on samsung.com/ph.

4 ways to turn passions into something valuable and powerful

Reports have called millennials the “burnout generation.” This is further expanded by the 2020 Deloitte Global Millennial Survey, which found that 57% of Filipino millennials feel anxious or stressed all or most of the time. The 2022 report found that 45% of millennials around the world feel “burned out due to the intensity/demands of their working environments.”

There are so many stressors these days. Work, finances, and the welfare of their family are just some of the things that induce anxiety. Their only solace is their passion, which ranges from creating and consuming content to playing mobile games.

With all the stressors hounding millennials every day, it’s important to turn passions into something valuable and powerful. Here are four ways to do that:

Make time for it. 

Face it, there’s always something that needs to be done. It’s important to set boundaries between work and leisure because a mind must be well-rested in order to function well in the office. It’s not enough to simply find time for one’s passion. These days, it’s about making it. Set a rule that after 6 PM, work notifications must be switched off. The hours after that must be dedicated to rest, spending time with loved ones, and hobbies.

Connect with like-minded people. 

A group of friends who share the same passion will most likely encourage it. Friends who enjoy the same bands can go to gigs together, while gamers can join tournaments or just play together. Film buffs can have movie nights where they can discuss their favorite scenes. There are communities that cater to every passion, from Facebook groups to apps like Goodreads for books, Letterboxd for movies, and Reddit for anything under the sun.

Share it with the world.

Social media has made the world smaller, allowing everyone to reach bigger audiences. Creators can share their work on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, which can build a following. While the point of pursuing one’s passion is a break from the monotony of work, this could lead to freelancing gigs or even a change in career.

Have the right device. 

The right tool can turn a simple hobby into something more powerful. Samsung’s Galaxy M33 5G and M23 5G are great companions for young professionals who want to take their passions to the next level, especially content creation and mobile games.

Both smartphones are equipped with a multi-camera system to capture memories. The Galaxy M33 5G and M23 5G’s suite of lenses is bannered by the 50MP Main camera, which takes photos and videos in clear detail. The smartphones’ 6.6” displays with Full HD+ technology made the gaming experience richer. Lags are virtually undetectable with the 120Hz refresh rate. There’s space for everything since the smartphones have 128GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by up to 1TB with a microSD card.

Both devices are available at a discounted price on Samsung.com and other online platforms this June.[1] The Galaxy M33 5G is priced at 16,990 SRP, down from its original price of PHP 19,490 SRP in Blue, Brown, and Green. Meanwhile, the Galaxy M23 5G is available for PHP 15,490 SRP, down from its original price of PHP 17,990 SRP in Light Blue, Deep Green, and Orange Copper.

Becoming successful at something you're passionate about takes time, persistence, and drive. Put these pieces together and you'll be well on your way to doing what you love, gaining more control and freedom in your life, and unleashing the genuine power that's within you all along.

Samsung Lends Washing Machines to Taal Volcano Eruption Victims

MANILA, Philippines – Less than a week after the recent Taal Volcano eruption, Samsung Philippines headed to Batangas and lent top-of-the-line washing machines to aid affected victims, making it possible for them to thoroughly remove volcanic ash and wash their clothes.

Samsung introduces new refrigerator line made for the Southeast Asian Market

Providing the latest innovations by listening to the consumer’s needs

The Samsung Bottom Mount Freezer

Samsung, the global leader in technology and innovation, recently unveiled its new refrigerator line specifically made to cater to the Southeast Asian consumer’s needs. It highlights technology that increases storage capacity for different food items and, at the same time, lessens food preparation downtime.

Introducing the latest Bottom Mount Freezer (BMF), equipped with an advanced feature called the Optimal Fresh Zone. This new refrigerator model not only boasts premium-looking design and Digital Inverter Technology, it also enables Filipinos to maximize usage and capacity of their refrigerators.

Flexible cooling and convertible temperatures for optimum freshness

The new Samsung BMF comes with the Optimal Fresh Zone, a specialized compartment between the chiller and the bottom freezer. This compartment provides the ideal temperature for storing meat, fish, and poultry, keeping them fresh for longer without the need to “freeze” them.

This unique feature works by constantly blowing cool air to maintain a climate of -1°C, creating the best conditions for preserving food usually stored in the freezer while still keeping their texture and taste.

Due to this functionality, the BMF model now provides flexible storage as this compartment becomes an extended freezer space with the sub-zero temperature allowing consumers to store different products without having to go through the trouble of defrosting.

Additionally, food preparation has never been this quick. Busy parents do not need to wait for frozen foods to thaw for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. They can opt to store any meat or fish they plan to cook in the next three days in the Optimal Fresh Zone drawer, and freshness is guaranteed. Simply remove the food from the drawer and it’s ready for cooking right away.

The sub-zero temperature also makes the compartment ideal for storing beverages. In a perpetually warm country like the Philippines, drinks are filled with lots of ice to make them refreshing and extra cold. By storing beverages in the Optimal Fresh Zone, drinks are kept at extra cold temperature, at below zero, without freezing.

The Optimal Fresh Zone’s temperature can also be adjusted depending on the user’s storage needs. For instance, the cold can be turned down to create extra fridge space during family brunches or pot luck parties.

Ergonomic design matched by energy-efficient performance

From the bottom placement of the freezer to the Moveable Icemaker to pullout drawers, ease of use and practicality were top-of-mind considerations for the design of the new Samsung BMF model. This new model puts the fridge—the most used portion of the appliance—at eye level. Bending and hunching over to get items that are consumed every day is no longer an issue.

But the design innovation really comes from the freezer placement and interiors. How many times have consumers found themselves spending unnecessary time rummaging through their freezer to look for a certain meat or fish product? The new BMF is built with a Freezer Drawer that easily slides out to allow effortless access to food items at the back of the compartment.

Compared to a Top Mount Freezer, the BMF provides up to 25% more freezer space to fit and organize food items so everything is easier to find.

Its Moveable Icemaker, meanwhile, allows consumers to modify their freezer space even further.

As with all Samsung appliances, the new BMF makes an ideal upgrade or addition to the home with its sleek and premium design. A flat, clear-cut surface with recessed handles and an elegant silver tone creates a visually appealing appliance that easily and perfectly blends in modern interiors.

Truly designed for the Filipino market where electricity prices are high, this refrigerator is equipped with Digital Inverter Technology. It automatically adjusts the compressor speed in response to cooling demands, ensuring optimal performance while minimizing energy consumption and noise. It also comes with a Voltage Control, which protects the compressor from possible damages due to energy fluctuations effectively reducing wear and tear.

“As the innovative leader in digital appliances, we design products that do not only answer the needs that consumers know today but also provide them conveniences they don’t realize they need now,” says Mon Medina, Business Unit Head for Digital Appliances at Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation. “Remaining true to our brand philosophy, the new BMF model will hopefully encourage Filipinos to explore a different refrigerator experience and help them imagine the possibilities.”

The new Samsung BMF comes in two sizes, 10.9 cu ft at PHP 34,995 (SRP) and 9.9 cu ft at PHP 29,995 (SRP), and is available in all authorized Samsung dealers beginning this October.

3 Ways to Upgrade Your Holiday Traditions at Home

Filipinos have their own unique way of celebrating the Christmas season. While Western countries have mistletoe, eggnog, and stockings hung over a fireplace, they look forward to bibingka and puto bumbong, and festivities that start as early as October.

The holiday season brings families together, and gatherings are made memorable with stories and laughter shared in front of sumptuous meals, games, and entertainment played by both young and old. Gifts are also exchanged as a sign of love and affection.

Christmastime in the Philippines means happiness shared at home with people valued most. Here are a few ideas to turn this year’s celebration even more special:

Prepare a musical number with the family

Take some time to organize a musical interlude with loved ones. Music can be shared by everyone, and the bond and memories shared with family and friends while rehearsing, planning out costumes, or even going as far as caroling around the neighborhood, are reason enough to make an effort.

Reinvent the local ‘Secret Santa’

Shopping for gifts for every member of the family is a daunting task, so try an alternative scheme like white elephant gifts or a raffle. By purchasing one grand gift to add to the pot, each member will get a chance to win something special. Raise the stakes with additional draws for gadgets and entertainment devices. 

Gather around the family TV

The holidays bring the family together and are the best time to reminisce the year that was. Watch home videos and stay in touch of family members away from home and share in the simple pleasure of watching TV with loved ones.

To make the Yuletide season more exciting, Samsung is offering up to 35% off on prices of select Full HD, Smart HD, UHD, Curved UHD, Premium UHD, and QLED TV models and Soundbars, when purchased through cash or straight card transactions.

The ‘Holiday Cheers for Samsung’s 20 Years’ promo is the company’s way of saying thank you to its customers, as it celebrates its 20th year in the Philippines. The promo runs from October 1 to December 31, 2018, in all accredited dealer stores nationwide.

The promo also features a raffle for customers who purchase participating TV and Soundbar models from October to December. Lucky winners will be drawn monthly and will get a chance to win either a grand package prize of a QLED TV, Soundbar, and a Galaxy Note9, or either of the secondary prizes: one of five 49” Smart TVs, or one of 14 Soundbars.

Boredom busters for a long commute : Enjoy endless entertainment anywhere with the Samsung Galaxy J6!

Bumper to bumper traffic is an unfortunate reality of living in the big city. Whether it’s a train, a bus-ride, ride-sharing, or a private car, the feeling of being stuck while shuttling from one place to another can’t be helped. Ready to bust boredom while in transit? 

Grab the Samsung Galaxy J6 and check off these top tips to remain entertained even on a long commute.

Leave on a full charge

After finally getting a seat on the bus or MRT, it’s rewarding to kick back during the journey home, and catch up on a koreanovela or play a game. But unlocking one’s phone to find that low battery won’t allow this is a buzzkill. Powering up before setting out for the day ensures this has zero chances of happening. A device like the Galaxy J6 helps manage battery life with its 14nm Exynos Octa-core processor. It allows high resolution games and graphics to run smoothly, without immediately draining the phone’s battery.

Pre-load the entertainment of choice

Decide on the movie or show best for the journey and download or pre-stream it before heading out. Loading shows or movies beforehand will make sure that nasty loading symbol won’t interrupt cinematic moments. This trick will also help save on mobile data, and will ensure seamless screen time on the Galaxy J6’s immersive Super AMOLED Infinity Display.

Keep earphones ready

Ever experienced being stuck next to someone who has their audio on speaker and full blast? Be courteous to fellow commuters and make sure to always have earphones on hand. The Galaxy J6's Dolby Atmos powered earphones allow users to experience that rich, immersive cinematic sound, anytime, anywhere.

Long journey trips will never be the same with the Samsung Galaxy J6. With a suggested retail price of PHP 9,990, the Galaxy J6 is available in all Samsung authorized stores nationwide. For more information, log on to samsung.com.ph/, or visit facebook.com/samsungph.
