Samsung helps you stay organized with its Galaxy Ecosystem

For some, an internal monologue to not forget tasks for the day is required. These could include “send that email to the client,” “schedule a doctor’s appointment at 9,” and “buy this at the grocery.” To make things easier, Samsung’s Galaxy ecosystem functions as an intelligent assistant to face the days knowing their every task is covered.

Keep track of important things with Galaxy SmartTag

Another common refrain for people is a mental checklist of essentials when going out: “phone, check. Wallet, check. Face mask and face shield, check.” Relying on this internal catalog results in a missing or forgotten item. With that comes the inconvenience of looking and time lost.

The Galaxy SmartTag is a Bluetooth-powered device that can be attached to keys, wallets, bags, or even a pet’s collar. Samsung has shortened the steps of finding items and remotely controlling devices with a simple click.

The Two-way Ring feature will set off an alarm when the ring button is tapped through the SmartThings Find app on the Galaxy S21 Series 5G and other Galaxy smartphones, making it easier to find the lost item.

With Offline Finding, the Galaxy SmartTag can be found even when the tag is out of range. Find via Timeline also checks the last location of the lost item and provides a full-day history on the map.

The Galaxy SmartTag can also be linked to smart appliances to switch them on and off. This is helpful when the homeowner forgets to switch off a device before leaving home.

The Galaxy SmartTag is now available for only PhP 1,799 SRP on Samsung’s website.

Stay on top of appointments with a digital calendar

The appeal of a digital calendar is that users won’t need to remember every single appointment, meeting, or deadline. Simply open any of the Galaxy S21 Series 5G smartphones and see what needs to be accomplished for the day.

They are equipped with Google Mobile Services to access Gmail and Google calendar. More importantly, the Galaxy S21 Series 5G smartphones have a massive battery life that lasts all day so there’s no worry about running out of power.

The Galaxy S21 5G has 4,000mAh, the Galaxy S21+ 5G has 4,800mAh, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G comes with 5,000mAh.

Forget about forgetting with Samsung Notes

Create checklists and memos on Samsung’s Notes app to make sure no task is neglected. This can be used to draft grocery lists, a daily journal, or even take notes during Zoom meetings. Samsung Notes is fully customizable and can use text, images with footnotes, voice recordings, and music.

With the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, it enhances the experience since it is the first S Series smartphone to be compatible with an S Pen.

It’s possible to choose from different pen types, thicknesses, and ink colors for a touch of personality. Highlight things that need to be remembered, add annotations to the side or doodle when distracted. The possibilities are endless.

Get an intelligent assistant with Bixby

Feel like an executive with Bixby, Samsung’s integrated assistant. Bixby can carry out many tasks, such as plotting tasks and appointments on the calendar, reading the day’s schedule out loud, and even searching for messages on the smartphone.

Bixby can also find registered Galaxy smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and earbuds, as well as items with SmartTags attached to it. Users can simply say, “Hi, Bixby. Where are my car keys?”, and the alarm will go off.

Bixby can execute tasks by voice, chat, or tap, allowing everyone to get every task done, even when on the go. With the Galaxy S21 Series 5G’s 5nm processor, dubbed the fastest chip in Galaxy, it’s now possible to do more at a quicker speed.

Samsung designed the Galaxy ecosystem to make lives easier by taking care of the small details, allowing customers to focus on what matters the most.

Safe Samsung Shopping

Health and safety protocols are strictly followed in Samsung Experience Stores to keep consumers and employees safe.

Adhering to the guidelines set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, Samsung has limited the number of its customers to 50% capacity, implemented the mandatory use of face masks and face shields, and performs frequent sanitation in all stores.

Samsung Experience Stores also has unique QR health declaration codes to promote a safe and contactless contact tracing process. Product demonstrations are done side-by-side instead of face-to-face while keeping the required safe distance of one meter to make sure everyone is socially distanced.

5 benefits of having a laptop with OLED display

This is a sponsored article by ASUS Philippines.

Laptops these days not only get faster and faster, but they also come with more features to further improve usage. Some models significantly improve battery life while others concentrate on system cooling. Meanwhile, there are specific variants that really step up its display.

Such is the case with this ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED. It’s the same reliable device from the popular ZenBook series of laptops but features a special OLED display that comes with its own benefits and advantages from common LCD panels.

Should your next laptop have OLED display? Here are 5 benefits that could just be what you need to step up your laptop for productivity and leisure on the go.

More immersive viewing

With the ZenBook 13 OLED’s panel, you simply get better picture quality and immersive viewing as it produces a wider range of colors, better contrast, and wider viewing angles so you can still appreciate its full image quality even if you’re not seated directly in front of the screen.

You not only enjoy better selection of colors, but you also get more vivid hues that positively add to the experience. On top of that, the ASUS ZenBook comes with what it calls NanoEdge display and it basically means the bezels around its display are made to be as slim as possible, making images seem to pop out more.

The display also boasts HDR technology which shows a better dynamic range between light and dark areas. In simpler terms, you see more detail previously not defined in non-HDR panels.

Faithful color reproduction

You do get better picture quality overall, but this isn’t because the display over-saturates images and their colors. You get to appreciate more refined details because it shows the true colors of the scene when it was captured. What you basically get on OLED displays are true-to-life shades and natural colors.

For good measure, the screen of the ZenBook 13 OLED has been Pantone validated for color accuracy and has a cinema-grade color gamut so while watching movies, for example, the colors you see are exactly the colors or the vibe that the filmmaker wants you to see.

Flourishes under bright light

With up to 400 nits of brightness, users can still enjoy browsing images or watching videos even while outdoors or under heavy, direct lighting.

As someone who has been working at home and outside even before the pandemic, I personally value laptops with displays that could go bright as it’s simply frustrating when you’re out and couldn’t see a thing on your screen due to sunlight.

Lower power consumption

OLED panels consume less power because they do not need backlighting as LCD displays do. This means you can possibly spend more time on your laptop while drawing less power from the socket.

Additionally, if you’re worried about damaging your eyes due to prolonged exposure to the screen and its bright display, you’d be glad to know that it passed TÜV Rheinland certification meaning it emits lower blue light and is safer for the eyes.

More durable

It is also proven that OLED displays are more durable than LCD displays as they are not as sensitive to extreme temperatures and can be used in broader temperature ranges. This allows you to be able to work and finish your tasks whether you’re working outdoors under a bright sun or even in really cold locations.

Purchasing the ZenBook 13 OLED also comes with ASUS OLED Care to prevent burn-in issues and further ensure that your display is working in top condition.

Final thoughts

Of course, there are also downsides to having an OLED display — it’s generally more expensive to manufacture and really sensitive to water splashes. Although, the cons outweigh the pros especially if you need a display with sharp details and true-to-life color either for work or play.

With our time using an OLED-equipped laptop, our workflow became more efficient in terms of color grading and playing games has been a really immersive experience. To know more about the ZenBook 13 OLED, you may watch our video review below or visit the product listing here.
