Samsung Philippines is recognized among the Best in Customer Service in the Philippines for 2023


Recognizing its commitment to provide next-level care for its customers, Samsung Philippines was recently lauded in the Philippines Best in Customer Service 2023 Survey of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Created in cooperation with Statista, the world’s leading data and business intelligence portal, the rankings were identified from the results of an independent survey of more than 11,000 customers in the Philippines who have either made purchases, used services, or gathered information about products or services in the past three years.

The survey was conducted on retailers and service providers from 64 categories, covering a broad- spectrum of customer experiences in traditional retail, online and service segments. For each category, the most relevant brands were included in the scope of the survey according to reputation, turnover or market share.

The final assessment and rankings were based on the Likelihood of Recommendation (50% of the final score) and three evaluation criteria (also 50% of the final score): Accessibility, which measures the availability of customer service in a shop or on a helpline; Professional competence, which measures the quality of information received and whether questions were answered correctly and in sufficient detail and Quality of communication, which measures whether the contact (via e-mail, telephone or face to face) was friendly and polite.

Care right at your doorstep

When it comes to customer service, Samsung understands that their customers are busier than ever. That is why Samsung has invested in customer care channels that meet their consumers where they need it – at their home or in their community.

These services include a door-to-door Pick-up Service for residents living in the NCR, wherein a service partner will pick up their device at their preferred schedule and address, repair it at the authorized service center, and have it delivered back to them once repair has been complete.

Another first in the industry innovation is the Galaxy TechVan, which tours nationwide to offer repair services for Galaxy devices and select home appliances. It has already been to cities like Pangasinan in Luzon, Naga City and Bacolod in Visayas, and in General Santos City and Davao Province in Mindanao.

Samsung also offers multiple channels for customers to get in touch with their representatives at the comfort of their own homes. Aside from the 24/7 Hotline and Live Chat for mobile devices, there’s also the Visual Support service where customers can initiate a video call where they can show the issue with their appliance to the customer service representative.

Going one step further, there’s even the option for Remote Service, where Samsung support can remotely access phones or TVs to diagnose and fix any issues.

If customers prefer face to face interaction at service centers, Samsung has also looked into ways to reduce wait times with a Pre-booking Service where customers can secure an appointment through Smart Q Service available at their queuing app.



Pro-Active Care and Eco-Friendly Waste Disposal

Samsung is also striving to help customers adopt a more eco-friendly lifestyle. These include services that help prolong the life of one’s appliances like Proactive Care, which includes check-up and cleaning of air condition units with the help of Samsung Authorized Service Centers nationwide to help better maintain their AC.

To reduce waste, Eco-Conscious repair is another service which allows users to target repair only for affected parts, like the phone screen or TV panel. This not only helps lower repair costs but also reduces the amount of electronic waste. For items that need to be disposed of, Samsung also offers convenient and responsible options via the Electronic Waste Disposal (EWD) program. Drop boxes for mobile e-waste disposal are deployed at different Samsung Authorized Service Center locations nationwide. Free pick-up of unwanted appliances is also available in the NCR.

Extra care for Samsung Members

Samsung Members enjoy even more customer service perks through the Samsung Members app. In addition to receiving special offers and advantages, the Samsung Members program gives you access to first-rate customer service, insider tips and curated content. The app also has exclusive promos and contests where Members can get prizes, as well as engage with fellow Samsung fans. When you purchase from the Samsung Online Store, you'll also have the opportunity to earn rewards points and track it all in the super app.

Dedicated Care: Samsung Concierge

For those who own a Galaxy Z Series or S Series device, the Samsung Concierge also includes a dedicated toll-free hotline with customer partners ready to assist with configuration, diagnostics, and even help with repairs. Members can secure appointments via this hotline and avail of the express lane when visiting selected Samsung Authorized Service Centers. Application for temporary loaner units of mobile devices and selected appliances while their device is being serviced will also be available.

BRIDGERTON returns for a steamy, two-part Season 3 in May and June 2024

Today, Netflix and Shondaland announced Bridgerton will return for an ultra-sexy, lavish season 3 in 2024. The season will be split into two 4-episode parts, with Part 1 premiering on May 16, 2024, followed by Part 2 on June 13, 2024. As previously announced, viewers can anticipate witnessing the budding romance between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), affectionately known by fans as #Polin.


In conjunction with the date announcement, Netflix and Shondaland unveiled a video asset–featuring a voiceover by Lady Whistledown herself–that captures and highlights the passionate anticipation from fans for any information on the new season. The video weaves together fan tweets, comments from various social media platforms, and TikTok videos, revealing the series’ return dates.




SERIES INFORMATION

Synopsis: From Shondaland and new showrunner, Jess Brownell, Bridgerton is back for its third season and finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season. She has, however, decided it’s time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters. But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly. 


Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder. Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly. Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the town makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.

HONOR Achieved 200% Sales Growth according to Fortune Global Forum 2023

Due to a human-centric vision, HONOR took over the foldable phone market globally while championing eye care technology

Global technology brand HONOR is leading the way in foldable innovation and eye comfort technology, achieving an estimated 200% growth in overseas markets this year. HONOR focused on human-centric innovations; a part of the enlightening discussion titled “A New Intelligent World: What’s Next for Smart Devices” at the Fortune Global Forum 2023 in Abu Dhabi. 

HONOR Device Co. Ltd. CMO Dr. Ray Guo with panelists CCS Insight Chief Analyst and CMO Ben Wood, and TÜV Rheinland Global EVP Frank Holzmann

“We believe human-centric innovations will enable new possibilities for the next generation of smart devices. Foldables are on the cusp of going mainstream, on-device AI is paving the way for a transformative era, and human-centric technologies, such as eye comfort display technology, are enhancing human-device interaction experiences. From our perspective, this is what’s next for smart devices,” said Dr. Ray Guo, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of HONOR Device Co. Ltd. 

One million Foldable Phones Milestone

According to the World Health Organizations (WHO), at least 2.2 billion people have a vision impairment or blindness globally, of whom at least 1 billion have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. This pain point became HONOR’s top priority by integrating eye comfort display technology, investing more than $140 million on display technology R&D, and developing over 500 display-related patents. 

In the past, some core user pain points of foldables were not yet solved – namely portability, durability, and battery life. Now, devices like the HONOR Magic V2 are as thin and light as a regular flagship smartphone, while delivering all the benefits of an immersive foldable screen. The HONOR Magic V2 is tested to withstand at least 400,000 folds, representing great durability, and includes silicon-carbon battery technology for all-day battery life.  

After solving these consumer pain points, HONOR has recently hit a significant milestone in manufacturing 1 million foldables from its factory. Its Magic V2 is currently the No.1 best-selling foldable in China market, capturing 25% share of the expanding foldable market as a single model, according to industry analysis firm Omdia.  

The growing scale of production demonstrates how HONOR is driving the industry’s supply chain forwards – and that the industry is maturing. Surpassing this milestone of 1 million units shows that the supply chain is reaching a stage of mass production where the manufacturing process is more automated and efficient.

Unleashing the Potential of On-device AI

Moreover, AI was undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated topics of discussion. HONOR has invested in AI for years, having debuted platform-level AI to enhance the smartphone user experience with intention-based AI services. During the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit in October, HONOR unveiled that its upcoming HONOR Magic6 smartphone will feature On-device LLM powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform. HONOR believes in a hybrid AI model, utilizing on-device AI for personalized content and services while ensuring user privacy with data staying on the device.

For more information and announcements, you may visit HONOR’s website www.hihonor.com or social media platforms: Facebook (Facebook.com/HonorPhilippines), Instagram (Instagram.com/honorph/) and TikTok Shop: (Tiktok.com/@honorphilippines).

Dive into the real Robust Challenge

Vin FPV, awarded by Senator Raffy Tulfo, emerged as the grand winner with 41,285,748 views, claiming the PHP 1 million prize.

Real Robust Challenge Makes Waves Online

As we age, our bodies undergo changes. Our vision might weaken, joints may feel stiff, and hair might turn gray, among other things. One common challenge men face is difficulty in achieving or maintaining intimate moments. This issue, known as erectile dysfunction, isn't exclusive to older individuals, but can occur at any age. The likelihood of experiencing this tends to rise as men grow older. Studies indicate that age plays a significant role in this condition. Therefore, the older a person gets, the higher the risk of encountering these challenges. After the age of 70, it becomes more prevalent, affecting a large percentage of men within this age group. Various studies align with this, highlighting the increased risk with age. For instance, research from 2017 revealed that a man in his 40s has a 40 percent chance of encountering some form of these issues, with this risk growing by 10 percent for each additional decade of life.

That's where the game-changer, Robust, steps onto the scene. This powerhouse supplement packs a punch with its all-natural formula, ensuring men a naturally formidable rigidity minus any risky aftermath. It stands out as the ultimate go-to alternative to conventional drugs, promising not just heightened intimate pleasure, but an utterly fulfilling and thrilling experience for both you and your partner to take a pleasure in.

The key ingredients

Robust stands out as a top-notch rigidity booster for one big reason: its powerhouse ingredients. Take Epimedium Extract, aka Horny Goat Weed, a leaf with a centuries-old reputation in Chinese aphrodisiac circles. This stuff revs up your sex drive like no other natural compound out there. Then there's L-Arginine, an amino acid that kicks your body into gear, cranking out nitric oxide for sturdier, longer-lasting performance. Bonus points for boosting sperm quality and quantity.
