How a True AI Companion Can Unleash Your Creativity

Tweet

For more than a decade, people all over the world have consistently enhanced their productivity and creativity by turning to Galaxy smartphones. Chief among them, the Galaxy S Ultra series, which is built on a legacy of innovation of our Galaxy Note series has become synonymous with boundless creativity and is loved by countless Galaxy fans.

With its incredible power, expansive screen and iconic S Pen, Galaxy S Ultra is renowned for helping people seamlessly follow their inspirations or capture ideas anytime, anywhere – even without unlocking the phone and digging for a note-taking app.

Creativity Like Never Before

Last year, Samsung introduced Galaxy AI, ushering a new era of mobile experiences. This groundbreaking technology helped the Galaxy S Ultra series evolve into an even more indispensable tool for maximizing creative freedom. And now, your creativity is about to reach new heights.

Sketch to Image, now integrated into Drawing assist, is now evolving. Utilizing more than a single input, like drawing with S Pen or your finger, it is becoming a multimodal experience. Now you can breathe life into your ideas by sketching them, writing out a description of the image you want with text, or using the voice command say what to draw. If you can envision it, Galaxy AI can help you create it.

Let’s say you want to really let your imagination run wild. You can draw a cat using S Pen and then, with multimodal Galaxy AI, you can type a “spacesuit” to put your cat in a space suit and visualize them in outer space. Or maybe you’re thinking about your dream home. Using the S Pen, you make a quick drawing of the façade. But maybe you’re not sure where you want your dream home to be. Simply type some possible locations, like “by the beach” or “in the mountains” and Drawing assist will help you see your future home in a new light.

From Note to Ultra and Beyond

This level of creative freedom is built on a legacy of innovation that began in 2011, when we introduced the Galaxy Note to redefine what was creatively possible on a smartphone. That power and spirit of innovation lives on through the Galaxy S Ultra series, and it continues to evolve with Galaxy AI.

With One UI 7, Samsung’s first integrated AI platform, your phone will become a true AI companion that understands natural language through text and speech, as well as images. It will be a new standard of multimodal mobile AI that enables incredible creativity. But this is just a preview. Tune into Galaxy Unpacked on January 23, 2:00 AM PH Time to see how the next Galaxy S series can truly unleash your creativity. Join us as we unveil a new chapter in mobile AI – premium Galaxy innovations that bring seamless convenience into every moment of your life. The event will be streamed live on Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom, and Samsung’s YouTube channel beginning at 2:00 AM PH Time.

90's Band A1 Takes a New Musical Route in Newest Album "Rediscovered"

Tweet

If you’ve loved their poppy tunes, matchy-matchy outfits and over-styled hairdos back in the 90’s, you’ll definitely love them even more now!

A1, consisting of Ben Adams, Mark Read and Christian Ingebrigtsen, had their first breakthrough in the UK in 1999 with a collection of hit singles taken from their debut album. They went on to have many International Top 10 and number 1 hits including 'Caught In The Middle', 'Same Old Brand New You', their cover of the A-ha classic 'Take on Me' and 'Everytime' to name but a few. They infected the airwaves of 1990s and now, they’re back and “rediscovered” with their brand new album!

Rediscovered is a musical journey that brings A1 to rediscover what got them into music in the first place: extremely catchy pop songs, with a back to basics approach.

"I'm really proud of the amazing work we've put into this album. I feel we've really pulled together a great collection of songs and you'll be hearing a lot more about it the next few weeks. There's one song that I can listen to continuously on loop before going to bed, & it's the last track on the album. Not long until you can hear it too," says Mark Read.

But whilst this album is about going back to their roots, it’s also about venturing into new territories, and a lot of people may be quite surprised by the 12 songs A1 have written for this album. For A1, this is the album that will bridge the gap between fans who‘ve stayed true for all these years, to the people who are discovering them for the first time.

Exciting highlights in the album include the 60’s inspired catchy first single “Trust Me”, the very sing-along-able “Christopher Columbus”, the powerful and stomping dance floor tunes like “That Somebody Is Me” and “Lovesick”.

Tracklisting:

1. Trust Me
2. Christopher Columbus
3. Riot
4. That Somebody Is Me
5. Lovesick
6. Fallen From Grace
7. Starlights
8. Blackout
9. Just 3 Words (feat. Annie Khalid)
10. Stones
11. Grateful
