 You didn’t think your screen was bad, until you saw something better. Significantly better That’s how perception works. Your brain gets used to what it sees every day. Flat colours become “normal”.

Unfold a Galaxy Z series foldable, and your perception unfolds along with it. Samsung didn’t just follow the foldable trend – they created it. Since introducing the concept of foldable displays in 2011, it’s spent over a decade shaping the gold standard – turning a futuristic idea into a defining symbol of mobile innovation through years of research, experimentation and engineering breakthroughs. Because whether you flip it open for convenient everyday use, or unfold...

How Gen Z is Turning Snacks into Platforms for Culture, Purpose and Belonging

In a world where livestreams double as shopping malls and Gen Z treats snacks like selfie props, the rules of consumer engagement have changed. For the next generation of shoppers, flavour is just the starting point. What matters just as much is how a product looks in their feed, how it connects to their values, and whether it earns a like before it earns a sale. PepsiCo sees this shift not as a disruption, but as a call to action. “Gen Z doesn’t separate content from commerce, or consumption from conversation”, said Aditya Ahuja, Cluster GM for PepsiCo Foods Malaysia and the Philippines. “So we don’t just think in terms of snacks. We think in terms of experiences that resonate across their culture, values, and community”. The Rise of the Social Snack PepsiCo’s recent innovations show how this thinking plays out in real time. Take Lay’s Double Crunch – an intense-flavoured, deep-ridged snack launched to complement the moments that matter most to Gen Z: late-night study breaks, brainsto...

Thin, Light and Built to Last: 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.

Its skin shatters under the fork, revealing succulent white flesh that melts on the tongue. Rich ...
