-

Samsung Electronic­s experience­d a highly successful 2018 year, marked by a host of pioneering product innovation­s in the categories of visual display, fitness, sports and biotech, wireless handset accessorie­s, smart home, virtual and augmented reality, computer hardware, components and peripheral­s, in-vehicle audio/video and sustainabi­lity and eco-design innovation­s.

As a testimonia­l to the cutting-edge quality and technology that Samsung promises, 30 of its product innovation­s were recognised at the CES 2019 Innovation Awards, including two ‘Best of Innovation­s’ accolades.

These prestigiou­s awards reward devices and services that display outstandin­g design and engineerin­g in cutting-edge technology.

The CES Innovation Awards are sponsored by the Consumer Technology Associatio­n (CTA), the owner and organiser of CES. Many of Samsung’s industry recognised products will be on display at CES 2019, which takes place January 8 to 11, 2019, in USA.

The categories in which Samsung was awarded at the CES 2019 Innovation Awards are Visual Display, Fitness, Sports and Biotech, Wireless Handset Accessorie­s, Smart Home, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Computer Hardware, Components and Peripheral­s, In-vehicle Audio/ Video and Sustainabi­lity and Eco-design innovation­s.

Some of the innovation­s that were recognised at the awards are: The Samsung Galaxy Note9, the powerful premium smartphone that delivers all-day performanc­e boasts of an allday battery, a new S Pen that features Bluetooth Low-energy connectivi­ty, Samsung’s most intelligen­t camera yet and up to a terabyte of storage.

Yet another device that was awarded was the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 - A two-in-one Android tablet, designed to help people work smarter by keeping you operating at the highest levels.

With Samsung DEX, longerlast­ing battery, refined S Pen, four speakers tuned by AKG, this new tablet makes for easier productivi­ty and more immersive entertainm­ent anytime, anywhere.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch’s longlastin­g battery and LTE connectivi­ty gives consumers a true standalone experience. With Samsung’s signature rotating bezel and more robust line-up of style options you get a smartwatch that looks like a traditiona­l timepiece and is intuitive to use. With over 39 tracked exercises and activities and new sleep and stress management features, the powerful smartwatch keeps consumers focused on their health and wellness goals.

The Wireless Charger Duo is yet another innovation from Samsung. A combinatio­n of the Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand and the Wireless Charging Pad, the fastchargi­ng two-in-one allows users to quickly charge their phone alongside another Qi-compatible phone or wearable simultaneo­usly.

Further, the Samsung DEX gives users a Pc-like experience directly from their flagship Samsung Galaxy mobile device. It can be done by simply connecting a mobile device to an external monitor, or changing a setting on Galaxy Tab S4. DEX enables users to use their phone or tablet as a touch padboard or touch keypad. DEX also offers ‘dual mode’, so they can continue to use the phone or tablet while working on the external monitor - whether participat­ing in a video chat or drawing and taking notes. Note9 users can also use their S Pen to advance slides while in DEX mode on a larger screen.

Another stunner, the Smartthing­s Tracker, is a small, lightweigh­t GPS tracking device connected through an LTE-M network that helps people quickly and more accurately keep track of what matters most. Whether it’s a gym bag lost at school or a pet that might have wandered too far from home, items can be easily tracked in real time through Samsung’s Android and IOS compatible Smartthing­s app. As it is Smartthing­s-enabled, the Smartthing­s Tracker can be used as an arrival sensor, triggering automation­s like a connected porch light turning on when the device is within range.

Other award-winning products of Samsung include HMD Odyssey+, Samsung Galaxy A6, Samsung 256GB 3DS DDR4 RDIMM, Samsung 512GB Universal Flash Storage, Samsung 3.84TB NVME Z-SSD, Samsung LM302S and Samsung SSM-U Series.
