Architect’s Creativity Unfolds with Galaxy Z Fold4

 Architect, content creator and musician, Wan Imar Izzat is THE quintessential man-with-a-plan. From envisioning inspirational spaces to pouring his heart out online and onstage, his trusty Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is the key to flexing his creative side to the fullest.

ABC: Always Be Creating

The thing about inspiration; you never know what, when and where it’s going to hit you. To always be prepared Wan Imar relies on the Taskbar[1] feature on the phone, which enables him to access and switch between apps faster and more conveniently. With nothing more than a swish and flick of his finger, Wan Imar can quickly go from compiling an architectural mood-board on Pinterest to recording melodic riffs and catchy beats on the Voice Recorder (watch our John Mayer!), and even practicing the latest moves for his next TikTok video!

Initially skeptical about the portability of the phone given its multiple brilliant features in relation to its size, he is now a firm believer of this “intelligent, sharp, and advanced” device, which he never leaves home without. The S Pen is also never out of his reach. “I am always on the go, so the user-friendly S pen has transformed the way I do my tasks; from documenting and recording, sketching and planning at a whole new level,” relates Wan Imar.

As an architectural designer, both the phone and pen go above and beyond, in terms of everyday use, app assistance and functionality. The multitask bar functions like a giant computer, mobile phone and planner all in one. “In architecture, we are required to sketch, calculate and brainstorm at any given time and place. This represents what the Galaxy Z Fold4 is all about – the intelligence, durability and ability to assist in all kinds of functionality involving Architectural Design.”

Details, Details, Details

With a form factor that doubles its screen size just by unfolding, Wan Imar is able bring his visions to the screen by sketching ideas on his very own portable sketchbook. “The finest detail can make or break any project, such as the placement of a window, the height of a doorknob, the elevation of a step; these are the things that provide identity and functionality to any given space,” he explained.

 

With a spacious digital landscape to play with, the Galaxy Z Fold4 allows him to sketch out his ideas down to the tiniest detail. Not to mention, the camera allows this modern Renaissance man to capture endless design inspirations and moments.

“Thinking outside the box is something everyone is encouraged to do, but turning brilliant dreams into actual reality takes grit, discipline and organisation,” says Wan Imar. “Luckily for me, my Galaxy Z Fold4 is built to take care of all the nitty gritty, which gives me all the space I need to unfold my creativity.”

From phone to personal assistant, from mood-board to mini recording studio, the Galaxy Z Fold4 stands up and stands out.

Adventures Of A PRO-fessional Mountain Biker With His Galaxy Watch5 PRO

 Adventure is second nature to Aaron Chan Chow Hee, a personal trainer and avid mountain biker. Living vivaciously and loving life, he spends most of his time surrounded by nature, whether he’s out hiking, camping, or surfing, or diving. 

As a group class coach who specialises in strength and conditioning, with a background in various sports, his favourite quote to his clients is, “I help people get fitter and stronger, the fun way.” 

Aaron pays attention to how his gears responds to his intensity throughout workouts. He finds that the Galaxy Watch5 Pro fits his lifestyle perfectly, especially with its 2x tougher Sapphire crystal display  and premium Titanium case, which provides an additional layer of durability, enduring against the toughest workouts, scratches and falls. “I am a big fan of the robust shell of the Galaxy Watch5 Pro due to my active lifestyle. The button placements and OS are also very intuitive. The magnetic strap is user-friendly and incredibly secure for frequent use,” he shared enthusiastically.

Determining a person’s health and fitness level involves several aspects – from physical to mental, as well as emotional. The best thing one can do to achieve the optimal balance, is to have measurable metrics to track progress, recommends Aaron.

Living a fit and healthy lifestyle also requires discipline and practicing healthy habits. One of Aaron’s top priorities in fitness is to regularly monitor his body composition to assess his progress. “The Galaxy Watch5 Pro and Samsung Health’s precise body composition analysis helps me to better understand my state of health in real-time, allowing me to set incremental goals and track my progress conveniently. Thanks to its prompt tracking capability in just 15 seconds, I am able to plan changes to my training routines and diet almost immediately,” he said.

Equipped with all-new GPS guidance for route-based adventures, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the one for outdoor cyclists and hikers, providing unparalleled ease of mind for every adventure, from start to finish. Whenever Aaron travels with Galaxy Watch5 Pro, he can enjoy biking to his fullest, without worrying about getting lost, as the Route Workout feature enables him to plan ahead and then directs him to the right paths with vibration-guided Turn-by-turn Directions. Aaron also mentions how much he enjoys the workout mode detection feature as he can keep records of his performance – such as travelled distance, duration, speed, heart rate, sweat loss, and more – and review it later to identify areas for growth. 

   

As someone who strongly emphasizes on finding balance in all facets of life, wellness is certainly included. After learning about Samsung Health’s deep breathing exercise guide, Aaron advanced the breath work to the next-level. He uses the vibrations of his Galaxy Watch5 Pro as a timer and incorporates some full body stretches to relieve stress. 

Aaron also expressed his intrigue towards Samsung Health’s user-friendly breakdown of information and suggestions for improvements in specific aspects of his lifestyle. Impressed with the seamless integration between the Galaxy Watch5 Pro and the Samsung Health, Aaron describes it in two words: “Game-changing,” he declared confidently.

There is no one key to living a healthy lifestyle, says Aaron, as we need to achieve optimal balance in several areas. The Galaxy Watch5 Pro strikes the ideal balance by including a number of comprehensive functions.

A Spinning Expert's Tips to Stay Fit & Healthy with Galaxy Watch5

 Whether you are an amateur or fitness expert, understanding yourself is the first step towards an effective fitness journey. When spin instructor, Jojo Tan embarked on her fitness journey in 2020, she searched for a smartwatch that would complement her lifestyle and track more than simply distance and time. She found her answer in the Galaxy Watch5 Series.  

Awareness on Body Composition “I got the Galaxy Watch5 for two main reasons: its fitness tracking and body composition monitoring features,” shared Jojo. Extremely dedicated to building lean muscle mass, the Galaxy Watch5’s Bioelectrical Impedance (BIA) Sensor has been imperative in helping her obtain real-time analysis on her muscle mass, body fat percentage and water weight without having to regularly visit the gym. At just the tip of her fingers, she can conveniently monitor her fitness progress and adjust necessary lifestyle changes to improve.   Consistency is the Key Consistency is the key to every goal. In order to be fit and healthy, Jojo emphasizes the importance of consistency in a nutritious diet, routine exercises, and self-care activities. She adheres to a strict diet – low carb, high protein – and workout, up to five days a week with weights to build leaner muscle mass. “When you consume clean, healthy meals that are low-fat, you will begin to notice a decrease in body weight and body fat, which contributes to more energy (muscles) and better sense of wellbeing,” she shared. Jojo also uses Samsung Health as a food journal as it offers insightful data into her caloric and nutritional intakes and lets her set daily food intake goals. Be As Active As You Can For those who are passionate about working out and are constantly exploring new sports, Jojo truly believes that the Galaxy Watch5 Series is for you! This advanced Galaxy Watch5 can track a whopping 120 different sports, including spinning, circuit training, running, weight machines, and climbing indoor exercises (HIIT, Yoga, and Tabata). Weightlifting is currently Jojo’s preferred exercise for bodybuilding. “Please do not be afraid to lift weights. Ladies should lift more weights as it will not only help quickly lose weight and achieve better health but also develop greater strength and confidence,” she recommends. Additionally, the Samsung Health offers custom targeted fitness programmes, such as balance training, endurance training, and weight loss, as well as workouts tailored exclusively for women. Once you equip yourself with the Galaxy Watch5 Series, you will be as driven to work out as Jojo thanks to its wide selection of fitness programmes and workout modes.   Prioritise Self-Care Apart from all the incredible health and fitness features, another one that excites Jojo is the Sleep Coaching Programme in Samsung Health. “The sleep tracking feature is so amazing! I am extremely impressed with how I can always wake up to insights on my sleep scores and patterns in different sleep stages, as well as get matched to a Sleep Animal and coached by Samsung Health with daily missions!” she exclaimed happily. When the night falls, take a cue from Jojo to always have some me-time before bed – whether it’s a longer-than-usual skincare routine, turning on the air-conditioning for optimum comfort, or simply some mindfulness breathing. Jojo also made it a point to always go to bed with low stress levels in order to wake up feeling refreshed and recharged the next day. Galaxy Watch5 is an excellent choice for individuals looking for a health management experience with comprehensive health and fitness features, concludes Jojo.

Pocket companion always with student, Syaa

Who says being a student can't be glamorous? Campus life should be more than just deadlines, hoodies, and chronic sleeplessness — the proof is all there in Syaa's many social media profiles. With a flourishing portfolio of online streaming and content creation under her belt, the young firecracker is a prime example of how to pave your own path in the competitive world of online video content. All you need is a little initiative, a little savviness, and a little help from the all-in-one smartphone powerhouse: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4.

Student by Day, Sensation by Night

Describing the Galaxy Z Flip4, Syaa’s three adjectives of choice are: aesthetic, awesome, and pocket-friendly. In other words: the smart companion for a busy bee on the go. As a full-time degree student, Syaa squeezes in hours of content creation in-between classes, assignments, and a hectic schedule, a tall task for even the most put-together of creators. 

Naturally, one of her top pastimes is vlogging. The Z Flip4’s tiny, portable form factor allows Syaa to create anywhere, anytime — like having a little recording studio in the palm of her hands, always ready to document a particularly thoughtful quip or an exciting once-in-a-lifetime moment. But truthfully, the young influencer finds joy in sharing simple slice of life vlogs, such as a day in her life as a student and the beauty of nature all around. 

When the weather is nice and she makes her way to class from her room, all she has to do is hit record, let it run for a few minutes, then add a song to it and voila. “With the Cover Screen feature, I can use it as a mirror so that I can see myself while recording with the back camera. Then flip mode can be utilised as a camcorder when I hold your phone.”

Hurrying to class one day, Syaa paused to vlog with the Z Flip4’s Cover Screen camera. “I was surprised at how smooth and intuitive the experience was, from stunning video quality, to noise reduction, to the flawless frame rate of the entire video.” Many possibilities have opened up for her now in terms of content creation because of this phone. “Ever since I started using it as my daily driver for recording content, my mind is constantly buzzing with ideas for new video angles.”

 

Hitting the Books… and the Looks!

When it comes to “business”, Syaa checks her notifications on the cover screen without ever opening the phone, a favourite shortcut to her jet propelled student life and packed schedule. “By double tapping the cover screen, I can view all my notifications and quickly reply! Saves my time as always!”

Of course, any savvy influencer worth their following also understands the importance of staying glam throughout the day. Enter: the Galaxy Z Flip4’s FlexCam, which lets budding fashionistas take effortless #OOTD shots at different folded angles without the use of a tripod or any external gear. Together with the instant review function of the Cover Screen photo previews, the Z Flip4 becomes a vehicle for infinite creative photoshoot possibilities. 

“Just flip and snap!” Syaa exclaims. “It’s really that simple. I love how much control the Z Flip4 gives me over my photo sessions with its unparalleled flexibility. It lets me go for dynamic, stylish shots without even breaking a sweat. The wide spectrum of angles makes me feel like a real fashion photographer, all with minimal fuss.”

From photos to videos, from self-expression to content creation, this one-of-a-kind phone opens up a world of one-of-a-kind experiences, no matter the occasion or the location. If Syaa's hearty endorsement is anything to go by, there’s a lot to love and discover with the Galaxy Z Flip4.

6 Pro User Tips for Galaxy Buds2 Pro to Up Your Sound Game

 

You’ll enjoy your Galaxy Buds2 Pro even more if you know how to fully use and customise them to suit your needs. Here’s how to get the most out of Samsung’s premium wireless earbuds:

Pro Tip 1:

Immerse in the same music at the same time with friends without pairing

Did you know you can listen to your favourite songs with friends at the same time, without having to pair and un-pair Bluetooth devices? With Buds Together[1], your friends can connect their Galaxy devices to the Galaxy Buds or Bluetooth speakers and vibe out to the same songs together instantly!

Pro Tip 2:

Track your buds if you have misplaced them via the SmartThings app

With the SmartThings Find feature, you can conveniently locate your Galaxy Buds2 Pro, whether in or out of the case. SmartThings Find[2] can also detect if your buds are missing and send you a notification if they get left behind.

Pro Tip 3:

Seamlessly connect your Galaxy Buds2 pro with other Samsung devices

 

Video is being played on Galaxy Tab while connected to Galaxy Buds. A call is received on Galaxy smartphone. Galaxy Buds auto switch to the phone. Notification appears on Galaxy Tab, telling the user Galaxy Buds is connected to the smartphone.

 

Say you’re watching a movie on your Galaxy Tab through your Galaxy Buds2 Pro. If you get a call on your phone, you won’t have to toggle your audio source between your buds to your mobile audio or Galaxy Tab because Auto Switch[3] does it for you automatically! Your Galaxy Buds2 Pro will immediately switch its connection to your phone so you can answer, and back to your Galaxy Tab once you hang up, reconnecting to your movie. How convenient!

 

Pro Tip 4:

Feel like you’re actually there with 360 Audio Recording

 

Listen to high-fidelity audio with a theater-like sound with the buds’ Complete Surround Sound with 360 Audio[4]. Experience the ultimate cinematic sound stage that moves with you thanks to improved head tracking response with motion prediction, so you’ll feel like you are right there inside the movie or rocking out on the concert stage.

 

Pro Tip 4:

Rely on your own personal posture monitor

Studies have shown that heavy smartphone users may experience considerable stress on the cervical spine causing neck and muscle pain. Buds2 Pro also cares for your health with the Neck Stretch Reminder to bring you back to the correct posture. It alerts you on the smartphone if you maintain bad posture for more than 10 minutes and suggests light stretches to relieve aches.

 

Pro Tip 5:

Never miss another message with voice notification

When your phone is being charged or you’re simply not in front of it while a text comes in, the Buds2 Pro will automatically read aloud your notifications when you’re wearing them. That way, you won’t miss a message or take too long before you text back. 

 

Pro Tip 6:

Tap your commands without touching your phone

 

Buttons and screen commands are a thing of the past with the Buds2 Pro’s tap controls. With just a tap, you can play music, skip songs, answer calls from a connected phone, and much more. You can also customise the touch commands for adjusting the volume, using voice commands, and enabling Ambient sound. And on the Buds2 Pro only, you can even launch Spotify!

Samsung Sees Significant Adoption of Foldable Smartphones as Enterprise Demand Doubles

 Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. today announced the number of Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip smartphones sold for enterprise use has more than doubled year on year. From January to October 2022, the number of foldable smartphones Samsung contracted to enterprise customers increased by 105% compared to the same period in 2021. 

With foldable smartphone shipments expected to reach 16 million units worldwide  – an increase of 73% year on year – the form factor is rapidly becoming mainstream, and shipments are expected to grow to 26 million units in 2023. The ease of multitasking on a large screen, and the powerful app optimizations for foldable devices, are helping drive adoption among enterprise users. 

Benefits of Foldables for Enterprise Users

As companies shift towards work-from-anywhere policies, they are looking to technology for new ways to maximize productivity. Foldables have particularly attracted the financial services industry, where 74%  of a sample group of financial advisors say staying connected via mobile apps is important or critical.

“Samsung Galaxy foldable smartphones were created to open up opportunities for new ways to work and explore creativity,” said KC Choi, EVP and Head of Global Mobile B2B Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “This rapid growth in investment demonstrates our enterprise customers’ need for meaningful innovations to enhance workforce productivity.”

The Galaxy Z Fold4 – Samsung’s fourth-generation foldable smartphone – is a multi-tasking powerhouse ideal for business use. Despite its pocket-friendly dimensions, it offers a large, expansive sized screen, making it easier to get things done compared to traditional smartphone screens.

The Galaxy Z Fold4’s expansive screen offers a larger working area, well suited to make the most of features from desktop computers. The perfect tool for juggling multiple tasks and pairs of apps, the PC-like Taskbar enables users to manage, launch and switch between apps, all without interrupting work.

The huge screen space is also a natural fit for working with Multi Windows. The Galaxy Z Fold4 can open up to three apps at once, including two of the same app for side-by-side comparisons. For example, users can respond to Gmail while viewing two Chrome browser tabs, just like working at a desk with multiple screens.

The Galaxy Z Fold4 also adapts to workflow needs. Flex Mode not only provides a hands-free experience for major video conferencing tools, it can now support dedicated e-signature or note-taking capabilities on partner apps using S Pen. 

Powerful Partnerships That Enhance the Experience of Foldable Devices

These experiences have been popular across many sectors of businesses and industries. In the current market, competition is fierce, especially in the financial services sector. Professionals need the best tools to help them maintain consistency and routine, even while working remotely.

Their devices must support complex workflows, including alerts, research, charts and portfolios, and give them the power and productivity advantage they need to stay competitive. Working with industry-leading partners, Samsung has enhanced Galaxy Z Fold4’s utility in unique ways, leading to wider adoption of foldables for enterprise use. 

According to a recent survey, the Bloomberg Professional app  is the most used financial services app by investment professionals, such as traders, analysts and portfolio managers.  It takes advantage of the Galaxy Z Fold’s unique form factor to enable financial professionals to access Bloomberg’s market data, analytics, news, and communications on the go in a more intuitive and immersive way, while preserving the user experience and functionality with which they are familiar. On Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, the Bloomberg Professional app’s adaptive layout provides for easy continuity and multitasking on the go. Users can effortlessly switch from the cover screen, ideal for quick Instant Bloomberg (IB) conversations, to the large screen that makes it easier to read news stories, monitoring real-time market data, browse portfolios or perform chart analysis. This allows financial professionals to do familiar work in an enhanced way on their foldable device.

DocuSign,  which offers the world's leading e-signature solution and is used by 24 of the top 25 Fortune 500 Financial companies  has also been optimized for Android 12L. The Galaxy Z Fold4’s takes the hassle out of signing agreements on large screens. Users can now quickly drag and drop email attachments in multi-view mode directly into DocuSign eSignature, seal deals quickly on the go with Samsung's S Pen  and the dedicated Flex Mode signature.

And, for the financial professionals constantly in and out of the office, DocuSign created a PC-Like experience using Samsung DeX mode. Simply connect the device to a monitor and thanks to DocuSign's high-resolution support and adaptive design approach, professionals receive the same grade experience for any screen size or orientation. 

Samsung also collaborated with IBM  to address challenges financial professionals may face helping clients while working from anywhere. IBM iX, the experience design partner within IBM Consulting, worked with a leading financial institution to develop the mobile experience, helping wealth advisors quickly access and manage market and portfolio information. The integration of Samsung DeX and S Pen  enables users to interact with data, drag and drop files between apps, translate handwriting to text and even capture digital signatures in a full desktop-like environment on their foldable device. Samsung’s philosophy of openness also enabled the incorporation of other popular applications for video conferencing, client contacts, email and schedules within a multi-app interface. 

Samsung is committed to working with industry-leading partners to create new mobile experiences, and collaborating more closely in coming months to take advantage of ground-breaking technologies like foldable smartphones.

Having it All with Hadri Hashim

 A-lister and multi-hyphenate Hadri Hashim may be fully occupied most of his time in a myriad of passion projects; yet he doesn’t think of himself as busy. “Think of me as optimally occupied,” he says. From running his own café to modelling to co-founding a modelling agency with a difference, Hadri exudes ambition, approachability, boldness and versatility – in short, he embodies all the ideals that define the Samsung Galaxy Fold4.

Behold the Taskmaster

While keeping track of multiple schedules and overlapping deadlines can become a whole task in itself, Hadri’s Galaxy Fold4 helps him stay ahead of crucial timelines by allowing him to work on various tasks all at the same time on only one device. “This machine is simply amazing – the Taskbar[1] basically transforms my mobile phone into a PC. I can easily access and switch between my most used apps with the swipe[2] of a finger,” says Hadri. “I even get to decide exactly what I want to do on which part of my screen - transforming full-screen apps into modular pop-up windows or even splitting my screen into two.”

Built specifically to support quintessential multitaskers like Hadri, the Galaxy Fold4 is fully optimised with productivity features and apps from Google and Microsoft. Thanks to our longstanding partnership with Microsoft, the full Office suite and Outlook leverages the foldable display, giving users more information on screen and faster ways to interact with their content.

Hadri recalls a time when the Galaxy Z Fold4 came to his rescue while he was in the middle of a video call with a client, and needed to fix a document on the spot. “My client was impressed and wondered how I got it done so quickly because they never saw me leave the screen. And now they know. “The Galaxy Z Fold4 is truly a life-saver and I will not forget it!” On top of that, he had another tab opened, just to gather all the information he needed during the call.

Stop… Collaborate and Listen

A typical day in Hadri’s life involves working with multiple teams over separate locations, usually in quick succession and while on the go. Enter the Galaxy Fold4’s enhanced collaborative advantage, courtesy of Google Meet. Combined with an upgraded camera experience, Hadri can be getting prepped for a photoshoot in the makeup chair whilst chairing (pun intended) a discussion with partners in his modelling agency, Topboi Citizen.

“I love the Galaxy Z Fold4’s camera feature that allows me to view the photos I take simultaneously on the left of the screen. It makes my photography process a lot easier and I am able to perfect my shots while referring to the previous takes.”

Time spent shuttling in between locations is also productively spent checking in on goings-on in his café Thursdays, whilst keeping up with his eventful social calendar on Instagram and Facebook.

“I find that there’s a certain type of stigma that goes hand-in-hand with being a go-getter… you’re at risk of being thought of as high-strung, demanding or worse still, a nightmare to work with,” says Hadri. “However, I’m convinced this is only because most people haven’t found a tool capable of keeping up with not only with their abilities, but also their ambitions as well. If you’ve got the Galaxy Fold4 to keep a handle on every single aspect of your professional, and personal life, the way I do, your success can be something that you can share with everyone around you.”

Voices of Health Experts: Dr. Wan’s Best Bedfellow for Better Sleep & Mental Clarity – Samsung Health

 It's hardly a surprise that people are concerned about whether they get enough sleep. A sleep survey conducted by Nielsen indicates that 9 out of 10 Malaysians suffer from one or more sleep problems. Most people are unaware that sleep deficiency is linked to many chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression.

 

Echoing the importance of getting quality sleep is Dr. Wan, a medical doctor who works at a private clinic – also well-known as Dr1 Share on TikTok, sharing public health matters related to mental health, nutritional education, and general medical issues. According to him, most adults require between eight to ten hours of sleep each day to maintain a healthy wellbeing. So, to keep waking up on the right side of his bed every day, he always made sure to avoid caffeinated drinks for at least six hours before sleep, put his phone away at least 30 minutes before bed and exercise daily.

 

Dr. Wan highlights that it is very important for people to track sleep so that they are aware of their sleep patterns and how their sleep quality can affect their mental and physical health. “Lack of sleep leads to fatigue, which makes it difficult to cope with day-to-day tasks. Fatigue then causes stress or worry, making you feel less productive. That is an awful state to be in. So, be accountable for your actions, track your sleeping habits, and take on Samsung Health’s Sleep Coaching Program. We do better when someone (or an app) is monitoring us,” he said.

 

“Initially, I was drawn to the Galaxy Watch5 Pro because of its bold design and its ability to measure body composition[1] to help with my weight-loss journey. However, I then learned that the Samsung Health[2] app offers not only fitness coaching programs but also a special coaching program specifically for Sleep! That’s something cool I’ve never seen elsewhere,” he exclaimed.

 

As most people can’t figure out how well they’re sleeping, Samsung Health’s sleep management features definitely helps. Galaxy Watch5 Series will analyse sleep patterns[3] through Sleep Scores, which monitor your sleep stages, snore detection[4], and blood oxygen levels. With the data collected, Samsung Health will then assigns users a Sleep Animal based on the sleeping style[5], – such as Unconcerned Lion, Nervous Penguin, Alligator on the Hunt and more. Once the user has been assigned a Sleep Symbol, the app will curate a personalised Sleep Coaching[6] Program that runs a month-long, offering daily missions, checklists, sleep tips, motivational messages, meditation guidance, and sleep reports to improve sleep habits.

 

According to Dr. Wan’s seven-day sleep analysis, he was matched to the Sun-averse Mole as his Sleep Symbol because he frequently stays up late and sleeps for an average of eight hours. To break his unhealthy night owl habit, Samsung Health advises him to wake up early, workout in the morning, be more active during the day. So far, Dr. Wan is enjoying checking off his daily tasks, and is anticipating improvements in his sleep score in the upcoming weeks.

 

Additionally, Samsung Health offers wellness features such as stress level monitoring, deep breathing exercises, mindfulness meditations, sleep stories and music in the app. All of which help in calming stress and enhancing a restful sleep. Dr. Wan would always unwind at the end of the day with the guided meditation and treat himself to wholesome meals to uplift his mood and mind.

 

Dr. Wan believes that if you have the right way to understand your body and help it recover, you can achieve anything and be in a better physical, mental and emotional state. This is the perfect reason to equip yourself with the brand-new Galaxy Watch5 Series.

Voices of Health Experts: Galaxy Watch5 Pro in an Orthopedic Specialist's Arsenal to a Fit & Healthy Physique

 Physiological and psychological aspects are two key points that health discussions in Malaysia should focus on, according to Dr. Koh Ka Ho, an orthopedic specialist with a burning passion for fitness.   As a fitness and health enthusiast, Dr. Koh believes that it is important for us to regularly monitor our health status so adjustments can be made for improvement, and recommends making the Samsung Health app and Galaxy Watch5 Pro a part of our health tracking arsenal as he has. When it comes to assessing the impact of your fitness, nutritional, or lifestyle changes, your body composition is one of the most valuable indicators of your overall health. By routinely measuring the percentages of fat, bone, muscle and water in your body, you can assess your progress, spot unwanted changes, and set attainable time-bound goals to get positive health changes.   “The Galaxy Watch5 Pro is my ultimate health and exercise companion. Its advanced BioActive Sensor[1] is capable of measuring my body composition from skeletal muscle mass to body fat percentage and body water, which has greatly assisted me in keeping track of my fitness progress and the modifications of my diet and training regime. I can now do it daily, or anytime, anywhere I want, at the tip of my fingers! ” he shared enthusiastically.   Galaxy Watch5 Pro is equipped with Samsung’s unique BioActive Sensor that drives a new era of digital health monitoring[2]. Using a single unique chip that combines powerful health sensors — Optical Heart Rate and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis — to deliver extensive readings that include body composition, heart rate, blood oxygen levels and even stress levels that help users set tailored health goals.   A good workout routine in general has to be consistent, well-spaced and allow time for muscle recovery and gain. Dr. Koh stands by this concept and maintains a strict training regime which often keeps him on his toes. One of his go-to training techniques to boost his cardio performance is to incorporate interval trainings into to his running and weightlifting exercises. After working up a sweat, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro will provide Dr. Koh with his real-time recovery analysis – heart rate recovery, sweat loss[3], and blood oxygenation – so he can assess his endurance levels, limits and stamina. On top of that, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro will offer personalised water consumption recommendations based on the recovery data to keep him hydrated.    Dr. Koh is also very amazed with Samsung Health’s Advanced Running Metrics’ ability to offer estimates of insightful running performance data like asymmetry of left and right leg, regularity, vertical stiffness, ground contact time, flight time, and vertical oscillation, without any additional sensors.   Diet is another crucial component of Dr. Koh’s fitness regime. He emphasizes that a well-balanced diet is not just good for one’s overall health, but that the road to fitness involves 70% nutrition and 30% exercise. Using the food intake tracker, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro and Samsung Health app assist him to keep a low calorie diet, and pump up the protein and fibre any time he veers off course. “Low sugar, low carbs, high protein, high fibers and staying hydrated,” is his mantra to help others achieve their body composition goals.   A huge fan of fashion, Dr. Koh was highly impressed at the Galaxy Watch5 Pro’s sleek and stylish design with its unique and distinctive colours. An iconic circle frame is used to complement every look, while all-new neutral colours allow the watch to stand out from the crowd. “The magnetic clasp makes it so versatile to put on or take off and the strap is extremely comfortable that you wouldn’t mind wearing it to sleep,” he exclaimed.   Fitness journey feels more rewarding when you get to witness your growth tallying with proven numbers. So, start monitoring your health and fitness today with Samsung Health!   Dr. Koh added that he has three more recommendations to help people stay healthy – that is to set goals, stay committed and monitor their progress. You can accomplish all of these and more with the support of the Galaxy Watch5 Pro. So, get one of yours right now!   Rome was not built in a day. Let’s stay consistent together with Samsung Health.

Say ‘Buon Appetito’ to A Week of Authentic and Extraordinary Italian Taste in Malaysia

 Malaysians will get to savour a week of extraordinary and true Italian taste from 5 -11 December 2022 with the launch of the ‘Week of the Italian Cuisine in the World’ project with the aim of promoting Italian culture through food and authentic Italian ingredients.  This year’s “Week of the Italian Cuisine in the World” campaign is the 7th Edition and will feature the theme “Conviviality, Sustainability and Innovation: The Ingredients of Italian Cuisine for People's Health and the Protection of the Planet”.

This event, which takes place in more than 100 countries globally, is organised by the Italian Foreign Ministry. In Malaysia, it is jointly organised by the Italian Embassy and Italian Trade Agency in Kuala Lumpur in collaboration with the Italy-Malaysia Business Association. This year’s campaign will focus on ‘Conviviality, Sustainability and Innovation’, as well as represents an opportunity to promote the quality of Italian agri-food products, enhance the values of the Italian sustainable and healthy lifestyle rooted in the Mediterranean Diet, and foster innovation in the agri-tech field in order to rethink our dysfunctional agri-food systems.

To kick off the campaign, a team of four chefs from Italy graced the official launch of the campaign with special authentic Italian dishes. Headed by Chef Simone Guglielmo of the Italian Restaurant “I Rocci di Casciano Barbara” in the Apulia Region, they presented Grilled octopus with sweet paprika, tomato puree, potato confit, roasted onion, and black olive powder, Squid Ink Gnocchi and Truffle Tuna fillet cooked two ways.

The Ambassador of Italy to Malaysia, Massimo Rustico noted that Italian food is a well-loved cuisine in the country as it resonates very well with the heart warming and comfort-for-the-soul type of cooking that Malaysians grew up with.

“The Italian gastronomy scene in Malaysia is thriving and Malaysians, who are known to be passionate about great food, are one of the more adventurous people I know who are keen to try out new foods. Our sixth edition last year that highlighted millennial food traditions of the Mediterranean diet was very successful and we intend to continue the momentum this year.

“We are very excited and proud to share the love of our culture, food and ingredients through the ‘Week of the Italian Cuisine of the World’ campaign. This campaign truly represents the essence of what it means to be 100% Made in Italy where we practice conviviality, sustainability and innovation to safeguard our food traditions and cultures, including the people who make them.”

Over the course of the week, connoisseurs and Italian culture aficionados can enjoy masterclasses that showcase authentic Italian traditions, high-quality products and regional specialties, while enticing palates at the best Italian restaurants in the country. There are opportunities to learn about the 100% Made in Italy products and their precious link with their region of origin, as well as choosing and making the best use of Italian ingredients to protect and preserve agri-food companies making these products.

Ambassador Rustico added, “The one week in December will be a window into what Italy has to offer - the tradition of high-quality food and wine, the diversity of each region’s specialties, all of which are central to Italian identity and culture. We invite all Malaysians on a journey to Italy and its culinary destinations, immerse yourself in Italian culinary culture and, of course, buon appetito! We truly hope that Malaysians will enjoy the quality and uniqueness of authentic Italian cuisine, products and ingredients.”

During the ‘Week of Italian Cuisine of the World’, Malaysians can look forward to the following events:

Special recipes and menus among the 20 participating Italian restaurants
