Malaysia's Team Vertice wins #PlayGalaxy Cup 2026 Southeast Asia Qualifiers

 Malaysia's esports scene has achieved another significant milestone as Team Vertice emerged victorious at the Samsung #PlayGalaxy Cup Southeast Asia Regional Qualifiers on 13 June 2026. The Malaysian team of four were crowned regional champions and are slated to compete at the #PlayGalaxy Cup World Finals to be held during Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany.

The #PlayGalaxy Cup is a global tournament league highlighting the gaming performance of Galaxy devices. In 2026, the tournament expands into a yearlong global esports league in collaboration with PUBG Mobile — shifting from standalone events to a full-season format.

Team Vertice showcased exceptional skill, teamwork and consistency throughout the competition, overcoming some of Southeast Asia's strongest PUBG Mobile teams from Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. Teams were equipped with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is built to deliver 39% more powerful neural processing unit (NPU) and a 19% faster central processing unit (CPU), to keep up with high-action gaming performance.

With their championship victory, Team Vertice will represent Southeast Asia on the global stage at the #PlayGalaxy Cup World Finals. They will also be joined by Team Vonzy from Indonesia, who came in second at the regional qualifiers. Both teams will compete against #PlayGalaxy Cup champions from other regions at Gamescom 2026, one of the largest gaming and interactive entertainment events in the world.

Team Vertice was led by #TeamGalaxy influencer, Muhammad Nur Ihsan bin Ismail, also known as San Gaming in the local esports scene. He credited his teammates Dep, ICAA and Kluq for their trust in him and each other throughout each match.

“We always moved forward to strategize for the next game, even if we made a mistake,” Ihsan said. “I'm super happy right now because I've been dreaming of going to Germany for a long time, and it's an honour to bring the Malaysian flag to the world stage.”

The victory adds another achievement to an impressive year for Ihsan. Earlier in February 2026, San was selected to compete in a global PUBG Mobile open tournament in San Francisco, where he joined a four-player squad comprising of #TeamGalaxy representatives from around the world. The team claimed the championship title, giving San valuable experience competing alongside elite global talent.

“We’re going to study up on our future opponents,” Ihsan added, on Team Vertice’s immediate strategy for the finals at Gamescom. “We’ll be training every day for the finals.”

Team Vertice’s victory underscores the growing influence of Southeast Asian esports and highlights opportunities available to up-and-coming players through platforms such as TeamGalaxy, which continue to nurture talent and connect local gamers with global competitive arenas.

"This is a proud moment not only for Malaysia, but for the growing gaming community across the region," said Matthew Ng, Head of Mobile Experience, Samsung Malaysia Electronics. "As mobile gaming continues to evolve, devices like the Galaxy S26 Ultra are helping unlock new possibilities for competitive play through powerful performance, advanced graphics capabilities and responsive gameplay experiences. We believe technology can be a catalyst for the next generation of esports talent, empowering players to train, compete and connect with the global gaming community wherever they are."

Samsung co-developed a custom application processor (AP) for Galaxy S26 Ultra, featuring a 39% more powerful neural processing unit (NPU) and a 19% faster central processing unit (CPU).

Galaxy S26 Ultra, powered by Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5, delivers enhanced graphics and gaming performance. A redesigned thermal architecture and large vapor chamber improves heat management for sustained performance. Optimized power efficiency extends battery life, while faster charging reduces downtime.

Samsung Strengthens Nation-Building Efforts Through AI-Powered Classrooms for Malaysian Youths

As Malaysia accelerates toward a digital-first future, Samsung Malaysia Electronics is reaffirming its contribution to national development through education by taking the next step with the introduction of AI-Powered Classroom by Samsung programme in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.

Far beyond a standalone technology initiative, the classrooms reflect the company’s broader vision of democratising AI and digital access for all Malaysians, while strengthening the country’s readiness for an increasingly AI-driven future. Through pilot implementations at SMK Nilai Impian in Negeri Sembilan and SMKA Naim Lil Banat in Kelantan that are supported by SNS Network (M) Sdn Bhd, Samsung is transforming traditional classrooms into fully integrated AI-powered learning environments designed to encourage deeper engagement, collaborative learning and digital literacy among students.

 

What makes the AI-Powered Classroom especially meaningful is its truly holistic learning ecosystem. The classrooms are equipped not only with Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ devices for students, but also smartboards for teachers, tablet charging stations, air-conditioning systems and the supporting infrastructure necessary to create a comfortable and connected digital learning environment. The initiative represents a complete end-to-end classroom ecosystem of interconnected technologies rather than simply the provision of devices.

To support daily teaching and learning processes in the classrooms, Sasbadi Holdings Berhad, a leading education solutions provider in Malaysia, was invited by the Ministry of Education to be the Strategic Content Partner for the initiative. Sasbadi deployed its flagship AI-powered digital learning platform, Ace-it, which features comprehensive curriculum-aligned notes, exercises, interactive tools, and an AI-assistant that collectively lessen teachers’ workload and heighten classroom engagement. The Ace-it platform runs seamlessly on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ tablets and smartboards, creating an intuitive, fully connected ecosystem for both educators and students.

The programme also highlights Samsung’s unique strengths as a technology leader. Beyond hardware innovation, Samsung’s ecosystem enables seamless connectivity across devices and platforms, creating a more flexible and intuitive learning experience for both students and educators. Samsung’s commitment to six years of operating system and security updates also ensures that devices remain secure, relevant and usable for significantly longer periods, helping schools maximise long-term value while reducing concerns around device longevity and maintenance.

This latest initiative builds upon Samsung’s proven track record in supporting Malaysia’s digital education agenda. In 2022, Samsung played a key role in an education initiative by supplying Galaxy Tab A8 LTE devices to eligible university students from the B40 income group.  It is estimated that approximately 350,000 to 400,000 students nationwide would benefit from the initiative.  

 

“As an educator with more than 20 years of teaching experience, I have always believed that science should be hands-on, minds-on and hearts-on. One of the biggest challenges in teaching science is helping students truly visualise complex concepts and systems, something that traditional textbooks alone cannot always achieve. Through the AI-Powered Classroom and the Galaxy Tab, students are now able to experience lessons in a far more interactive and engaging way. More importantly, it has made learning more enjoyable for students by transforming what was once a purely textbook-based experience into something immersive, dynamic and meaningful,” said Farah Faizura Binti Ahmad Rostam, teacher at SMK Nilai Impian.

 

“As an educator with eight years of classroom experience, I’ve seen firsthand how the transition towards digitalisation is reshaping the learning experience in meaningful ways. The Galaxy Tab have been incredibly helpful in designing more engaging questions and delivering interactive lessons that encourage stronger two-way communication in the classroom, making students more involved and responsive during discussions. Having access to a wide range of digital tools also allows us to teach subjects in a more visual, immersive and comprehensive way, helping students better understand complex concepts, while the seamless ecosystem connectivity, especially with the digital whiteboard, creates a smoother and more effective teaching experience overall.” said Selvina A/P Sandiawo, teacher at SMK Nilai Impian

Since being introduced to these two schools, the AI-Powered Classroom has benefitted the education journey of many students, enhancing their understanding of their syllabuses through vital visual learning with the power of AI. 

 

“I enjoy learning science subjects in the AI-Powered Classroom because AI helps make complex topics easier to understand and more engaging during lessons. Using the Galaxy Tab also makes it much easier to follow along in class, while reducing the need to carry heavy textbooks every day. With AI, we are able to explore answers on our own and better understand difficult concepts through personalised explanations that support the way we learn. It has also made note-taking more convenient and efficient, helping us stay more focused during class,” said Nurhani Sumayyah Binti Azmal, Form 3 student at SMK Nilai Impian.

 

“With the Galaxy Tab, lessons have become much more fun, engaging and interactive, making it easier for us to stay focused and understand what we are learning in class. It has also helped reduce the number of heavy textbooks we need to carry every day, making learning more convenient and accessible. The virtual and interactive features on the Tab are especially helpful for subjects like Mathematics and Science, as they allow us to better visualise complex concepts and understand topics that would normally feel difficult or confusing when learning through textbooks alone.” said Avinesh A/L Ramalingam, Form 3 student at SMK Nilai Impian.

“As Malaysia prepares for the future of AI and digital transformation, empowering students with access to technology and digital learning opportunities is essential in building a resilient and competitive nation,” said Charles Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics. “Samsung has continuously supported Malaysia’s education journey since 2022, from enabling access to devices through PerantiSiswa to now building fully integrated AI-Powered Classroom for students and educators. Through these efforts, we hope to inspire the next generation of Malaysians to learn, create and innovate with confidence.”

By investing consistently in education, infrastructure and long-term digital accessibility, Samsung continues to play an active role in helping shape a more inclusive, future-ready and innovation-driven Malaysia for generations to come.

Scam Calls Getting Out of Hand? The Galaxy S26 Now Answers Them So You Don’t Have To

 We’ve all been there.

You’re makan-ing peacefully, halfway through your nasi lemak, then suddenly your phone rings.

Unknown number.

You answer anyway because mana tahu it’s important.

Next thing you know:

“Hello sir, your parcel ada issue.”

“Your bank account has been suspended.”

“Congratulations, you’ve won—”

Straight away, red flag.

With scam calls and spam calls becoming more common in Malaysia, Samsung is introducing a feature on the Galaxy S26 Series that could genuinely save users a lot of headache, Call Screening .

And honestly? For Malaysians constantly kena spam by fake bank officers, insurance agents, “investment experts” and random robocalls, this one actually feels useful.

Instead of you awkwardly picking up every unknown number, the Galaxy S26 can now screen calls on your behalf using Galaxy AI.

Here’s how it works:

When an unknown number calls, users can activate Call Screening. The phone then answers automatically with an AI voice assistant that politely asks the caller who they are and why they’re calling. While the caller speaks, the Galaxy S26 generates a live transcript on-screen in real time.

From there, users can decide whether to:

• Answer the call

• Reject it immediately

• Or even type replies for the AI voice to read aloud

So instead of panic-answering every random number from “+60 something something,” users can now see exactly what the caller wants before even speaking. Basically, it’s like having a personal bodyguard for your calls

For Malaysians, scam calls aren’t just annoying anymore, they’re becoming genuinely dangerous.

From fake parcel delivery scams to impersonation calls pretending to be banks, government agencies or even police officers, many Malaysians are becoming more cautious about answering unknown numbers altogether. That’s where Call Screening could become especially useful.

Imagine this:

You’re in a meeting, driving, or just tired after work. Your phone rings from an unknown number.

Instead of answering directly, Galaxy AI picks up and asks:

“Please state your name and reason for calling.”

If the caller starts sounding suspicious or dodgy, users can simply reject the call without engaging further.

No awkward conversation.

No pressure.

No wasting time entertaining scammers.

What makes the feature feel practical is how naturally it fits into daily Malaysian life.

Whether you’re:

• Avoiding spam calls during work

• Screening unknown numbers late at night

• Checking if a delivery rider is actually legit

• Or trying not to get scammed by fake “bank officers”

The feature acts as an extra layer of protection before users even say hello.

Users can also send typed responses that Galaxy AI reads aloud during the call.

So if you’re busy, you can simply type:

“I’ll call you back later.”

The AI assistant says it for you automatically.

Quite useful especially for those moments where you don’t want to talk but also don’t want to seem rude.

AI features on smartphones sometimes feel a bit syok sendiri, but this one solves an actual problem many Malaysians face almost daily. And in today’s world, where every unknown call already feels a bit sus, that extra peace of mind might actually matter quite a lot.

Your Life, Your Soundtrack with the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Series

 These days, life can feel non-stop. One minute we’re stuck in traffic heading to work, next thing replying emails while queuing for coffee, then suddenly it’s already midnight and we’re doomscrolling in bed wondering where the whole day went. In all that chaos, music has quietly become the thing that helps many of us reset, focus and breathe for a while.

That’s where devices like the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 and Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro fit naturally into everyday life. They’re not just earbuds anymore, they become part of our daily rhythm, whether it’s during the morning commute, gym sessions, late-night walks, café work sessions or long balik kampung drives.

What makes the experience feel different is how seamlessly the earbuds blend into our lifestyle. With Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), even noisy environments suddenly feel more manageable. The chaos of LRT crowds, office chatter, noisy mamak tables or traffic outside can fade into the background, giving us a small personal space no matter where we are.

And honestly, that quiet space matters more than we realise.

Sometimes we just need a moment to focus before an important presentation. Sometimes we need music blasting during workouts to push through one more set. Other times, it’s simply putting on our earbuds after a long day and letting our favourite playlist drown out the stress for a while. The Galaxy Buds4 series turns these small everyday moments into something more immersive and personal.

The audio experience itself also adapts naturally to how we live. Whether we’re taking calls while multitasking, switching between devices, listening to podcasts while driving, or vibing to music during solo café time, the earbuds stay effortlessly integrated into the flow of the day. Nothing feels complicated or disruptive, it just works.

For users who want a more premium audio experience, the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro pushes things even further with richer sound clarity and enhanced ANC performance, making everything from bass-heavy workout playlists to softer late-night tracks feel more immersive. It’s the kind of experience where the technology quietly disappears, and all that’s left is the music, the mood and the moment itself.

At the end of the day, audio has become deeply personal. The songs we repeat during stressful weeks, the playlists we use to lock in at work, the comfort shows we listen to before sleeping, or the music we blast during road trips all become part of our everyday story.

And in a world that constantly demands our attention, sometimes putting on the right pair of earbuds, turning on noise cancelling, and disappearing into our own soundtrack for a while is exactly the reset we need.

From E-Wallets to Tap-to-Pay: Why Malaysians Need Stronger Smartphone Security Than Ever

 

Most Malaysians use NFC every day without even realising it.

Whether you're tapping your debit card at a mamak, using Samsung Wallet to pay for groceries, scanning into your office building, or passing through public transport gates, chances are you're relying on Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.

NFC is what makes these quick "tap-and-go" experiences possible. It allows two devices placed close together to exchange information almost instantly, making payments and access more convenient than ever.

But as digital payments become increasingly common, scammers are finding new ways to exploit them.

Recent warnings from authorities around the world have highlighted a worrying trend: fraudsters are combining social engineering scams with NFC technology to steal money and sensitive personal information from unsuspecting victims.

And for Malaysians, this should sound familiar.

We have all heard stories of scammers posing as bank officers, parcel delivery companies, insurance representatives, government agencies, or customer service agents. Their goal is often the same: create panic, establish trust, and convince victims to take actions they normally wouldn't.

The latest NFC scams follow a similar playbook.

A scammer may call claiming that you are entitled to a refund, compensation payment, or account reimbursement. They then persuade you to install an application or grant remote access to your smartphone under the guise of helping process the refund.

Once the scammer gains access, they may instruct you to switch on NFC and place your bank card near your phone. While it may seem harmless, this can allow sensitive card information to be captured and used for unauthorised transactions.

In many cases, victims do not realise what has happened until money has already left their accounts.

But the financial loss is often only the beginning.

Because these scams usually involve malicious apps and remote access software, criminals may also gain access to SMS messages, contacts, passwords, banking verification codes and other personal information. In effect, the smartphone itself becomes the target.

The Smartphone Has Become the New Front Door

Today's smartphone contains far more sensitive information than the average wallet.

It holds banking apps, digital payment services, identity documents, work emails, photos, passwords and access to countless online accounts.

That is why smartphone security has become just as important as locking the front door of your home.

This is where Samsung Knox offers an important advantage.

Unlike traditional smartphone security solutions that rely primarily on software, Samsung Knox is built directly into Galaxy devices from the hardware level up. It creates multiple layers of protection that work together to help defend against threats before they can cause damage.

Think of it as the difference between having a single lock on your front door and having a security gate, alarm system, CCTV cameras and reinforced locks all working together.

Security That Starts Before You Even Open an App

One of the biggest misconceptions about scams is that they only become dangerous when money is transferred.

In reality, the threat often begins much earlier, when victims download suspicious applications or grant access to unknown parties.

Samsung Knox continuously monitors the device for signs of tampering or malicious activity. If harmful software attempts to compromise critical parts of the operating system, Knox helps detect and mitigate those threats.

More importantly, sensitive information such as passwords, PINs, biometric credentials and encryption keys are protected inside Samsung Knox Vault, a hardware-based security environment designed to keep critical data isolated from the rest of the device.

This means that even if scammers manage to trick a user into installing malicious software, accessing the most sensitive information remains significantly more difficult.

Peace of Mind in a Digital-First Malaysia

Malaysia is rapidly embracing cashless payments and digital services. From buying nasi lemak at a roadside stall to paying for parking, smartphone-based transactions have become part of everyday life.

The convenience is undeniable.

But convenience should never come at the expense of security.

While users should always remain cautious of suspicious calls, unknown links and requests to install applications, choosing a smartphone with built-in security can provide an additional layer of protection against increasingly sophisticated scams.

The reality is that cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics. As they do, smartphone security can no longer be viewed as a nice-to-have feature.

It has become an essential part of everyday life.

In a world where our phones hold our finances, identities and personal information, Samsung Knox provides something increasingly valuable: confidence that the device in your pocket is working to protect you, even when scammers are working overtime to find new ways in.

Preventative Healthcare with the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Your First Line of Defence

 When it comes to health, a lot of us punya mentality is still very “alah, I’m okay lah” until something actually happens. Usually only when the doctor says blood pressure tinggi, cholesterol naik, or stress level gone crazy, then only we start paying attention. But with our everyday lifestyle now, sitting too long in office, doomscrolling until 2am, mamak sessions every other night and makan whatever is convenient, preventive healthcare honestly matters more than ever. That’s why wearable tech is becoming damn useful in our daily lives. Devices like the Samsung Galaxy Watch are not just for gym kaki or fitness enthusiasts anymore. It’s becoming more like a personal health buddy that helps us keep tabs on our wellbeing before small problems become bigger headaches later on. From heart rate monitoring and ECG readings to blood oxygen and sleep tracking, these daily insights help us understand our own body better . Sometimes we don’t even realise how little sleep we’re getting or how stressed we actually are until we see the numbers ourselves. Even simple things like noticing poor sleep patterns or elevated stress levels can push us to make better habits bit by bit, maybe sleep earlier, walk more, drink less sweet stuff, or finally stop saying “tomorrow start diet”. And honestly, this feels super relevant for us today. More people are dealing with stress, burnout, obesity, diabetes and heart-related issues, especially with how hectic life can get now. The problem is not that we don’t know about health, we all know already. It’s just hard to stay consistent when life gets busy. That’s where wearable tech changes things. Instead of waiting until sakit only panic and go clinic, we can slowly build healthier habits through small reminders and everyday tracking that fit naturally into our routine. It makes taking care of ourselves feel less intimidating and more manageable. At the end of the day, preventive healthcare is really about the small things we do every day. Sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to stand up, sleep properly, or slow down abit when life gets too hectic. And now, technology is becoming that extra “kawan” helping us jaga our health before things become serious. Great Deals in June!
