Summary of Your Privacy, Secured: How Knox Vault Protects You in the Era of AI
Galaxy AI[1] is built to understand what you need before you even ask, whether that’s suggesting a change in your routine or pulling up just the right information at the right time.
This level of personalisation can be incredibly helpful, but the more your phone knows, the more there is to protect. So, what’s keeping all that personal data secure?
Samsung believes there is no privacy without strong security. That’s why every Galaxy device is protected from the chip up by a multi-layered approach, which includes on-device personalisation, user-controlled cloud processing, and ecosystem-wide protection through Samsung Knox Matrix.
At the core of this system is Samsung Knox Vault[2], Samsung’s hardware-based solution for your most sensitive information.
Secured at the Hardware Level
Most devices rely on software alone to guard sensitive data, but Galaxy devices go further.
Knox Vault is a hardware-level security solution that creates a physical barrier between your most private information and everything.
Personalised AI, Protected at the Core
Knox Vault not only provides protection for today’s threats, it also ensures your privacy as mobile experiences continue to evolve.
As Galaxy AI becomes more useful, it also becomes more personal — learning how you use your device and adapting to your needs. And because this relies on deeply personal data, Knox Vault plays a crucial role in keeping that information private.
Features like Now Brief[3] provide useful summaries and suggestions based on your daily activity, while Modes and Routines[4] creates auto-generated routines by adjusting settings in response to your habits. These tools and the highly tailored AI experiences they enable are guided by a map of personalised data – data that is encrypted, with Knox Vault securing the keys.
Galaxy AI1 also ensures privacy by processing tasks directly on-device where possible[5], keeping data in your hands and off online servers. Audio Eraser,[6] for example, can remove the background noise from videos or voice recordings without the need for any cloud-based processing — helping your personal comversations stay private. Call Transcript[7] and summary operates in the same way, keeping your calls organised while ensuring personal conversations stay private by remaining on-device.
Knox Vault helps ensure your data is protected, confidential and secure. Building on its role in Galaxy AI1 as the trusted foundation for security and privacy, Knox Vault will expand across Samsung’s growing AI ecosystem as AI becomes more deeply integrated into the user experience.
Knox Vault is more than a security feature, it’s Samsung’s promise that no matter how advanced your devices become, or how much AI evolves, keeping privacy secured is our goal.

Summary of Thin, Light and Built to Peform: The New Era of the Galaxy Z Series
While people have long valued smartphones for their power, convenience and usability, they’ve also expected a mobile device that blends versatility with portability. At Samsung Electronics, our drive to deliver the ultimate mobile experience has always been guided by the needs of our users. This unwavering commitment to meeting their evolving needs has driven the development and ongoing refinement of innovative form factors that consistently redefine the parameters of mobile experiences.
Introduced in 2019, the first Galaxy Fold was a completely new form factor that combined the portability of a smartphone with the extensive productivity of a tablet — challenging conventional perceptions of what a smartphone could be. Driven by the bold vision that foldable phones could reconcile two seemingly conflicting demands—large screens and true portability—Samsung looked to other industries for inspiration and proving that smartphone displays, too, could fold. It was a synthesis of creativity and productivity that unlocked new possibilities – from seamless multitasking on the go to immersive content creation.
But smartphones are constant companions that we tuck into our pockets, use with one hand and take everywhere we go. So it’s only natural that users desire a foldable device that is as easy to carry as it is to use. To that end, Samsung engineers and designers are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner and lighter and than the last.
*Image simulated for illustrative purposes
This year, that journey reaches a new milestone. The newest Galaxy Z series is the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet – meticulously crafted and built to perform.

Summary of Great Habits Can Happen Overnight With Galaxy Watch
When it comes to your health and wellness, small changes can make a big difference. Every incremental improvement to your daily habits adds up to a healthier whole, and the upcoming Galaxy Watch will help build these habits even more effectively with a slate of new features to improve sleep, heart health, fitness and nutrition.
What’s New:
New features[1] include Bedtime Guidance[2], to help optimise your sleep habits; Running Coach[3], to help strategise your training; and Antioxidant Index[4], to help measure and track your body’s carotenoids.
The new features are part of the One UI 8 Watch, which will be available on the newest Galaxy Watch series. Even before then, the features can be experienced through a beta program[5] to a limited number of Galaxy Watch users.[6]
Why it Matters:
The goal of these new features is to help you build better daily habits, which can be challenging because they don’t develop instantly. It takes time to accumulate these behavior patterns, and meaningful changes are often only apparent after a long period. But the rewards are worth it.
For example, eating unhealthy food may not immediately impact your health, but over time, it can have significant consequences.
Conversely, adopting healthy habits may not show immediate results, but over time, they lead to positive changes in your body and mind.
Samsung Health’s new features aim to help you develop better habits by motivating you through instant feedback. These features inspire you to maintain your habits by providing rewards or notices, demonstrating immediate impact of your behaviors.
“Sleep remains a cornerstone of our approach to health, as it influences physical and mental well-being, social relationships and even work performance,” said Dr. Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, Mobile eXperience, Samsung Electronics. “Now, we envision our Galaxy Watch delivering holistic insights centered around sleep—insights that lead to meaningful changes in daily life. We believe this aligns with our vision of empowering you to lead healthier lives through proactive care and holistic health management.”
Explore New Health Features
Samsung Health’s[7] new features aim to help users develop better habits, using instant feedback as a motivating tool.
Bedtime Guidance
A single night of restful sleep offers immediate health benefits, encouraging more proactive behavior changes and leading to a healthier tomorrow. This starts with a regular and optimal bedtime.
We constantly seek to advance our sleep-related tools, which include sleep pattern analysis, sleep coaching, and optimising sleep environments.
Now, we are providing additional tools for better sleep by suggesting an optimal bedtime based on your lifestyle and sleep patterns while sending reminders to help you stick to it.
By analysing your past three days’ sleep patterns, the feature evaluates your need for sleep pressure and your circadian rhythm to calculate a bedtime that maximises alertness the next day.
This feature is particularly helpful for those trying to optimise their sleep after periods of irregular bedtimes. For example, if you go to bed later than planned over several days, or have inconsistent sleep schedules between weekdays and weekends, the bedtime guidance will consider these factors to ensure you get enough sleep.
Running Coach
While sleep is a precious time to cultivate and care for your health, managing your health during active moments is equally important. Running is one of the most basic and universally available fitness activities, and Samsung has long sought to support runners—offering features to help everyone stay active and achieve their fitness goals.
Many runners face injuries due to over-pacing or are not optimally pushing themselves. Running Coach is designed to help runners safely complete marathons through optimised-intensity and injury-preventive training, making it ideal for beginners.
Our new Running Coach feature delivers motivation and real-time guidance, creating a unique training program based on your fitness level to help you achieve your goals.
Just wear your watch and run for 12 minutes; it will analyse your performance and running level from 1-10. You’ll receive a detailed training plan to help you complete a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon based on your level. Complete your training session, and you’ll level up and unlock your next running challenge.
Antioxidant Index
When taking a holistic approach to health, we naturally focus on aging and inspiring healthy aging.
However, behavioral factors—such as drinking alcohol, smoking, UV exposure, stress and lack of sleep—can accelerate aging by increasing free radicals in the body. These free radicals damage cells and accelerate aging. Antioxidants—nutrients found in many healthy foods—are molecules that neutralise these free radicals, helping prevent chronic illnesses and promote healthy aging.
Use Galaxy Watch to measure carotenoids, which are antioxidants found in green and orange vegetables and fruits, stored in your skin.
These insights reflect behavioral changes—for example, drinking carrot juice can show changes in the index—providing motivation to adopt healthier habits.
Great health comes from the combination of many small changes—and with Galaxy Watch, it is now possible overnight.

Summary of Samsung Spotlights The Unsung Snappers of Australia
Pictured: Joshua Gross, husband to Sophie Monk and Unsung Snapper
Samsung Electronics Australia has today announced it is shining a light on plight of the often-overlooked heroes of social media – the Unsung Snappers. These are the dedicated people spotted often in the wild behind a phone camera, doing their best to get the perfect shot [1] for someone else. Almost half of Australians make up this group, with 45% of those surveyed admitting to taking photos for a partner, friend or family member’s social media at least once a week.
While many Aussies will go to great lengths to get help out a mate, new research [2] has found that the majority of Australians (70%) say that taking photos for social media can impact their ability to simply enjoy the moment. 57% say their biggest frustration is when it takes too long to get the ‘perfect’ photo in public and almost half of Gen Z (50%) and millennials (46%) have said they’ve felt embarrassed taking photos of others.
With the recent launch of the super slim Galaxy S25 Edge, Samsung is empowering the Unsung Snappers of Australia with the tools they need to capture the perfect shot almost every time. Weighing only 163g and 5.8mm thick, the Galaxy S25 Edge houses a stunning 200MP wide lens camera and next-generation Nightography to help capture every detail day or night – ideal for sunny holiday snaps and low-light evening events.
As posting on social media becomes the norm, Australians can feel the pressure of capturing that perfect photo – even when it’s not their own.
Joshua Gross, Sophie Monk’s husband, is all too familiar with the work required of an Unsung Snapper: “If the shot doesn’t work out, it’s on me. There’s a lot of pressure to get a great photo when you’re photographing one of the most beautiful women in the world.”
“While I’m lucky to have a gorgeous subject, I’ll often take hundreds of shots to make sure we get ‘the one’. There’s always the risk of uncontrollable aspects – weather conditions or someone walking into frame without us realising. While I’m focused on securing the perfect shot, I have to put my muse first, and with the Galaxy S25 Edge, Samsung has made it easier for hard-working Unsung Snappers like me to get an amazing photo.”
Almost a third[3] of Australians have said they frequently get asked to retake a photo by a partner or friend as they aren’t happy with their facial expression, with the same percentage of respondents citing that photos are often ruined by someone or something in the background.
Innovative Galaxy AI[4] editing tools mean that Unsung Snappers can make easy and efficient tweaks to photos. Features like Object Eraser[5], Best Face[6] and Audio Eraser[7] enable quick fixes to problems like photobombers, crowd noises and untimely blinking without having to retake shots.
“The Galaxy S25 Edge, with its flagship camera and Galaxy AI enhanced image capture and editing suite gives Australians the tools they need to nail the shot— replacing retakes and complaints with effortless, shareworthy moments,” says Nathan Rigger, Head of Product, Mobile eXperience at Samsung Australia. ”By helping Australians get the shot they want the first time, they can hopefully focus on and enjoy the moment.”
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is available in Titanium Silver, Titanium Icyblue and Titanium Jetblack for $1,849 (256GB) and $2,049 (512GB).

Enabling seamless authentication, asset tracking and mobile payments, the tablet can effectively be used as a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) system[22] in retail stores and restaurants alike. Employees can quickly validate credentials, process transactions and manage assets without any additional hardware, enhancing efficiency in industries where speed and security are critical.
Maximised Productivity: Smarter Tools for the Frontline
Samsung’s latest ruggedised devices also introduce AI-driven enhancements,[23] reinforcing Samsung’s commitment to expanding AI capabilities across its entire ecosystem.
