In a case of using new technologies to improve healthcare, Samsung and KT Corporation have joined forces to bring 5G to the Samsung Medical Center (SMC) in Seoul and create 'innovative medical services for the new 5G era' – reveals a recent PR Newswire press release. 5G enables easy access to digital data and video footage, remote surgery education, and it even powers robots for operating room assistance as well as an AI for in-patient care.

Is this the Galaxy Z Flip we see in a newly leaked promo?

Image
We have known for the better part of a year that Samsung is going to launch a new clamshell foldable smartphone . It has been called everything from the Galaxy Fold 2 to the Galaxy Bloom . If recent reports are any indication, the handset might be launched as the Galaxy Z Flip. A leaked photo shows a promo that might potentially confirm that this device will indeed mark the beginning of Samsung's Galaxy Z series . The upcoming device will have the distinction of being the world's first clamshell phone with a foldable display. Or is that a tri-folding smartphone we see? First posted on Weibo, this photo shows a promo plastered on Samsung's DeX interface. It clearly reads "Galaxy Z" with a device that appears to look like the letter Z. At first glance, it appears to be a tri-folding device, in that the top and bottom parts of the device would be capable of folding. Make no mistake, being the most inventive company that it is , Samsung does have a patent on a

Supporting AI skills training in Molenbeek, Belgium

MolenGeek started in 2015 in Molenbeek, Belgium, as a coding school for anyone to learn digital skills. But unlike many other schools, MolenGeek is driven by a social mission of fostering inclusion, integration and community development in this culturally diverse suburb of Brussels.  In five years, it's become a co-working space for young people from all backgrounds, enabling them to network and share their experiences. Out of Molengeek's community of 800 active members, 195 people from predominantly underprivileged backgrounds have gone through entrepreneurship skills training, and 35 new startups have been built and grown out of their incubator program. We've been proud to help support their mission since 2015. Today, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, visited MolenGeek to announce an additional Google.org grant of $250,000—over EUR 200,000—to expand its coding school and increase the community's access to new kinds of digital skills training.

Exclusive Galaxy Z Flip colors will be offered to carriers in South Korea

Image
Samsung is gearing up to launch its next foldable smartphone which is now believed to be called the Galaxy Z Flip . South Korea will definitely be one of the markets where this device will be launched, if not the first. According to a new report out of the country, South Korea's three largest mobile carriers have secured exclusive color options for the Galaxy Z Flip. This means that customers who want the device in a certain color will have to get it from the carrier that has exclusivity on that option. This strategy saw a lot of success with the Galaxy Note 10 SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus are reportedly all going to launch the Galaxy Z Flip in their respective colors. The exclusivity on a color option is likely going to figure prominently in their marketing campaigns for the device. We have previously reported that the Galaxy Z Flip will be available in black, white and purple colors. There will also be other colors, obviously, with SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus said to have

Samsung to set up $500 million mobile display manufacturing plant in India

Image
It was first reported almost nine months ago that Samsung Display could establish a factory for manufacturing smartphone displays in India .

Samsung’s mobile business has a new boss and he’s going after its rivals

Image
Samsung's annual executive reshuffle has traditionally taken place in December but it was delayed for over a month due to some legal problems in South Korea. The reorganization was made public today with all three co-CEOs of Samsung Electronics being retained in their respective positions. The most interesting development in this reshuffle is that Samsung has now appointed a new boss for its mobile division. Roh Tae-moon has been appointed the head of the smartphone division, taking over the job from DJ Koh, who took over the position from J.K. Shin back in December 2015 . Tae-moon will play a vital role in maintaining Samsung's lead Roh Tae-moon is a distinguished Samsung executive and is currently its youngest-ever president at 51. He has been with the company for over two decades and was previously the No. 2 executive at the mobile division under Koh.

How to secure your Samsung account with Two-Step verification

Image
Recent events in South Korea have reminded us why two-factor authentication (2FA) is an important security feature that shouldn't be overlooked by users. Samsung accounts can be protected with 2FA, or 'Two-Step verification' (TSV) as the company calls it, and we advise users to consider enabling this feature if they wish to add an extra layer of security to their accounts. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't make it very easy for Galaxy smartphone users to find the Two-Step verification option. It's the reason why many people don't know about it or don't bother enabling it. Hopefully, Samsung will address this in the future, but until that happens, you can follow the steps below to enable the feature. What is 2FA / Two-Step verification? First, a short explanation of what Two-Step verification is and how it can help you keep your data secure. Simply put, TSV links your phone number to your Samsung account. Once this step is complete, users will have to ent

Campus London calling: apply for Women Founders residency

Image
Only nine percent of C-level positions—and six percent of CEOs—at European startups are women. Of all the funds raised by European venture capital-backed companies in 2018, a staggering 93 percent went to all-male founding teams. In order to combat this, last year Google for Startups introduced the first Women Founders Residency at our Campus in London—one of seven Campuses around the world—to back women-led startups using technology to tackle key social issues. Founders receive access to Google products, resources, and mentoring to level the playing field for startup success. The program proved so successful that we are now currently accepting applications for the second Women Founders cohort .  To learn more about the Google for Startups Residency, we chatted with Elina Naydenova: biomedical engineer, data scientist and founder of Feebris , a healthcare startup that graduated from Campus Residency in 2019.
