The new lineup packs more innovations at affordable prices, so creators can show off how they live out their awesome on social media. These features enable the creator's drive to produce more content that will show off their creativity, may it be vlogging, gaming, fashion, sports, and many more. With the Galaxy A-series, Samsung strengthens its drive to bring “awesome for everyone.”

Express your creativity with a multi-camera system

The Galaxy A-series has a suite of lenses to make every photo and video sharp, clear, and professional-looking. The Galaxy A72, A52 5G, A52, A32, and A12 come with a Quad Camera that’s versatile enough to shoot all types of viral-ready content.

The Main Camera captures every single detail and shows off vibrant colors. Samsung also elevates the smartphone photography game with the Ultra-Wide lens that lets creators capture more elements in one shot. 

Details and textures are clearly captured with the Macro Camera. A natural bokeh effect blurs the background to highlight the subject and bring out ultra-fine details. The same effect can be done for portraits through the Depth Camera. Lastly, the Front Camera takes high-resolution photos and videos for vlogs, TikTok videos, and selfies. 

Meanwhile, the Galaxy A02s has a Triple Camera setup for aspiring creators. This is made up of the 13MP Main, 2MP Depth, and 2MP Macro lenses.

Select models of the Galaxy A-series have added camera features to let creators experiment. The Galaxy A72’s 8MP Telephoto Camera has 3x optical zoom to shoot faraway subjects without loss of quality and facial distortion. Need an even closer shot?? The Galaxy A72 also has a Space Zoom feature that can bring subjects up to 30 times closer with precision so photos are always sharp.

The Galaxy A72 and A52 also come with Fun Mode, where Snapchat filters can be directly accessed on the camera. These smartphones can also take high-resolution screenshots from videos through 4K Video Snap. This can capture beautiful yet fleeting moments in vlogs so they can be shared as photos on social media.

Stay connected the whole day with long-lasting battery

The Galaxy A-series is not just a content creator’s best friend. It’s also an all-around tool that can be used to stream movies and TV shows, play games, stay in touch on social media, or to keep up with the demands of school and work.

A vibrant display for an immersive experience

The Galaxy A72, A52 5G, A52, and A32’s FHD+ Super AMOLED Display offers a wide range of colors and a high degree of clarity, bringing viewers into the movie or game. 

The smartphone experience is also smoother thanks to its improved refresh rate. The Galaxy A52 5G has a 120Hz refresh rate, while the Galaxy A72, A52, and A32 have 90Hz.  This means fewer lags so switching between apps, running graphics-heavy games, and playing video content are more seamless.

Panasonic’s nanoeTM X technology will be in Jaguar Land Rover’s in-vehicle HVAC system in the future

Tweet

Osaka, Japan – Panasonic confirms that Jaguar Land Rover*¹, a luxury automobile brand will use Panasonic’s nanoe™ X technology in in-vehicle HVAC systems in the future. Models across the Jaguar range, including the new all-electric Jaguar I-PACE performance SUV, and Land Rover line-up – including the Discovery and Range Rover Evoque – currently offer nanoe™ technology.

( http://ow.ly/3lwc50DZZOM@JLR_News)

nanoe™ is a nano-sized particulate ion produced by applying a high voltage to water in the air and contains hydroxyl radicals (highly reactive components) that easily act on various substances. The production of these hydroxyl radicals has been increased tenfold compared to conventional products, and nanoe™ X is used in home appliances such as air purifiers, air conditioners, washing machines*^A, and refrigerators, as well as in automobiles*^A, trains*^A, and commercial air-conditioning equipment because of its various effects such as deodorization*² inhibition of bacteria*³ and allergens*⁴

Not only the automotive sector but Panasonic will continue to pursue the realization of "QUALITY AIR FOR LIFE" in various areas of our lives and society, including, automotive, housing-related fields, and home appliances like selected models of air conditioners, refrigerator, and air purifiers to deliver a healthy lifestyle.

We’re the generation that gave voice to a lot of new trends and insights—the masters of creating ‘new traditions’ that will most likely be carried by future generations. 

Take home lifestyle and general health for example. What used to be mundane and boring have now become overarching trends—a personality set even. Millennials have paved the way in waking up the world to the importance of healthy living and the romance behind this perspective. This, of course, also ushered in a new kind of demand when it comes to home partners as the majority of homemakers started looking into kitchen aids that can match their lifestyle expectations.

Case in point, the recent launch of its newest product: the Smart Oven® Air Fryer.

The third generation of Breville’s best-selling pro ovens is a perfect example of a kitchen partner that just #GotSmarter. For one, it is the exact definition of versatility with its oven and air frying functions rolled in one smart product. Most of all, it turns the otherwise unhealthy process of frying on its head by introducing a new way of making food minus the guilt. 

Enjoy 10 cooking functions and a dual-speed convection feature that reduces cooking time by up to 30 percent with this new kitchen must-have. The Smart Oven Air Fryer is also armed with a smart algorithm that creates an ideal cooking environment that makes food prep friendly and easy even for beginner cooks. 

Love frying your food but craving to find a way to make it healthier? Breville is inviting you to join their “Hey, Home Fryer!” online launch event which will put the spotlight on the brand’s newest kitchen item and the many ways you can enjoy fried food with it. The session will also feature culinary luminaries like Chef Waya Araos-Wijanco (Executive Chef and Owner, Gourmet Gypsy Art Cafe, Mental Health Advocate, co-founder of Open Hand School for Applied Arts), Chef Gem Tee (owner, Salta Ristorante), and other passionate home cooks who will share heritage and modern recipes that you can add in the roster of your culinary traditions. As experienced kitchen masters in their respective fields, they will also be sharing insights and advice that they’ve learned over the years. 

The event is open to anyone and will be available via Breville’s Facebook Page on April 24, 3 PM. Don’t miss out on the chance to get a first and intimate look at the Smart Oven® Air Fryer in action and the many healthy culinary creations you can create with it.
