crystal pattern design

Samsung Electronics, a market leader and award-winning innovator in digital consumer electronics and information technology, introduced the N210 Notbook, which offers up to 12 hours of secure connected mobility.

To get even more done on the move the N210 feature a low profile island keyboard. Their ergonomic design and optimized key spacing provide a more enjoyable and productive user experience, with less wrist strain, fewer errors and faster typing speeds.

For fast and simple sharing of pictures, music, movies and data with virtually any modern, camera, peripheral or audio-visual device, the N210 features three USB 2.0 ports, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and a 3-in-1 memory card reader.

Samsung Brings the Wonder of Home Appliances To the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show



Appliance Innovations Attract Attention for Flexible Designs and Organizational Capabilities



At the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Samsung Home Appliances, America’s fastest growing brand of appliances, affirms its dedication to creating moments of wonder by introducing appliance innovations that deliver high performance, greater flexibility, superior organization, and more convenience for today’s busy families.



From Samsung’s new refrigerators featuring Wi-Fi enabled LCD screens to access the apps you need in the kitchen, to the new Flex Oven range which can be divided into two separate oven chambers, and Samsung’s 5.0 High Capacity Front-Loading Washer (WF520), the company continues to create moments of delight for moms and their families. Proving efficiency is just as important as innovation, both the washer and Flex Oven range took top honors in the eco-design category of this year’s CES 2011 Innovations Awards.



“We wondered what it would be like to design a refrigerator where mom can access the weather and recipes while getting the kids ready for school or preparing dinner. And, thanks to the new Flex Oven range, moms will rethink meal preparation as they can now simultaneously bake cookies and cook salmon in the same appliance,” said James Politeski, senior vice president of Home Appliance Sales and Marketing, Samsung Electronics America. “These new innovations bring the wow of cutting-edge technology and flexible design together to simplify daily routines and delight consumers by making their lives easier.”



Mr. Sang Suk Roh, President of Samsung Levant said: “In line with Samsung’s vision and innovative technologies, we have introduces new home appliances the will lead to a technological revolution which would redefine the home appliances concept to meet customers’ demands and satisfy their needs.”



Refrigeration Offers Organization


Available on the new Samsung RSG309 side-by-side and RF4289 four-door French Door models, the industry-first Wi-Fi enabled 8” LCD screen is integrated directly above the water and ice dispenser on the front of the appliance, and provides access to a series of kitchen-relevant applications. Now, consumers can quickly reach recipe collections on Epicurious®, check the weather on WeatherBug®, leave notes for their kids, review the family’s Google calendar, check the headlines on AP news, or enjoy a photo slide show.



No other refrigerators keep families better organized and connected to one another – and the world around them – while also offering the quality refrigeration technologies that consumers crave. Both the RSG309 and RF4289 feature the Twin Cooling Plus System® that keeps perishable produce fresher, longer. And with capacities of 30 cu. ft. and 28 cu. ft. respectively, the RSG309 and RF4289 provide an abundance of storage space and options. Both refrigerators will be available later in 2011.




Cooking Convenience


Samsung helps you prepare family meals more quickly, and any way you want. The new Flex Oven (FE710DRS) range is the world’s first 30” freestanding electric range with an oven cavity that can be divided into two separate cooking chambers. Consumers have the flexibility to use the full large 5.9 cu. ft. cavity, or divide it into two smaller chambers (2.6 cu ft. top and 3.1 cu ft. bottom) which can be used together or separately. When using both oven chambers, dinner and dessert cook simultaneously without smells or tastes mixing and both chambers are housed behind the beauty of a sleek single exterior oven door. When not in use, the oven divider conveniently stores in a discreet space above the warming drawer.



Samsung designed the Flex Oven to provide all of the features families need, including a 1.4 cu. ft. warming drawer, a five burner smooth electric cooktop with one triple burner and one dual fast boil burner. The model also has a dual convection system which quickly and evenly preheats the oven in single mode, and permits convection cooking in both chambers when in dual oven mode, resulting in more even cooking/baking and reduced time to reach the optimal temperature. Another benefit is the oven’s 20-minute SteamQuick™ cleaning feature that uses less heat than traditional oven-cleaning systems to save both time and energy. The Flex Oven will be available in March 2011 with an MSRP starting at $1,599.



Laundry Performance


Samsung’s 5.0 High Capacity Front-Loading Washer (WF520) helps moms tackle the biggest loads with the best performance. It is one of the largest front-load capacity washers available that can wash the equivalent of up to 31 bath towels in a single load so mom has more free time. This washer features Samsung’s proprietary Vibration Reduction Technology™ Plus where the drum keeps perfect balance to offer quiet operation. And with the advanced technology of PowerFoam™, a foam you can see that offers a clean you can feel, clothes receive a thorough wash for even the biggest loads of laundry. The WF520 and its dryer partner (DV520) are available now with an MSRP of $1,499-$1,599 for the washer and $1,399-$1,549 for the dryer.

Samsung Receives Prestigious Award for Global Customer Service Excellence for Second Consecutive Year





Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, received the Middle East Government and Business Organizations’ award for Global Customer Care under the Electronics category for the second consecutive year. Under the patronage of Sheikh Maktoom Bin Hasher Al Maktoom, the award was presented to Mr. June Woo Lee, General Manager of Samsung Gulf Customer Satisfaction (GCS), in recognition of the division’s outstanding achievements and commitment to customer care service.



The ceremony was held in conjunction with the 9th GCC Government and Business Global Competitiveness Customer Care Strategy Development Conference, which took place in Dubai. The winners were selected through an evaluation process which was conducted by a panel of judges who rated companies on the basis of the quality of their customer service, professionalism, accessibility to customers, and presence of clearly defined customer service processes.



“We are honored to be recognized for our efforts in positioning service differentiation and customer excellence as our highest priority,” said Mr. June Woo Lee of Samsung. “At Samsung, customer anticipation is one of our main objectives which are why we are constantly seeking new and innovative ways to deliver differentiated services and ensuring the delivery of exceptional experiences to our customers”.



Mr. Sang Suk Roh, president of Samsung Levant said: “We are proud of receiving this award which reaffirms our unique position in servicing our customers.

In 2009, Samsung launched the program to enable customers across the Middle East and Africa to repair their Samsung products for free. In addition, Samsung’s “Service on Wheel” vehicles were introduced in 2010 to offer services to customers in remote areas.



Organized by DataMix, the conference helps regional organizations and business excel and develop their customer service trends and offerings and provides a benchmark for the organizations through the best-practices service guidelines. The other winners for the 2011 awards were Abu Dhabi Municipality, Al Ain Municipality, King Saud University, Ministry of Labor, Dubai Airports, Saudi Telecom, Al Ain Farms and RTA (Dubai Roads and Transport Authority).

SAMSUNG UNVEILS BROADEST RANGE OF ULTRA-SLIM, HIGH PERFORMANCE PLASMA TVS



Expanded 3D-Capable Line-Up; New Plasma TVs with Unique Plasma+1 Ultra-Thin Bezels Offer Larger Screen Sizes within the Same Footprint



At the International Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd., continued to raise the industry bar for plasma TVs with its extended plasma TV line-up of 16 new models across six product series.



Offering breathtaking picture quality, advanced connectivity options and superior audio-visual technologies, Samsung’s 2011 ultra-slim plasma HDTVs add a touch of sophistication and style to any home. All new plasma TVs also offer Samsung’s breakthrough Plasma+1 design, which features a new narrow bezel design that adds 1” of viewable screen size over last year’s products for a greater viewing area without increasing the outside dimensions of the set. For example:

2010 line-up

2011 line-up

42”

43”

50”

51”

58”

59”

63”

64”


The TVs also offer richer connected entertainment options through one of the most comprehensive offering of apps and connected devices, so that people get the most out of their entertainment experience. Select models will offer Samsung’s new Smart Hub, which includes:


· Search All, to makes it easier to search for desired content on your TV and other DLNA-certified connected media storage devices, networked PC and mobile devices, and Internet and video-on-demand services.


· Your Video, which delivers recommendations based on a user’s viewing history


· Web Browser offering full web browsing right from your TV


· Samsung Apps, the world’s first HDTV-based application store, which offers a range of paid and free apps that help people connect to their various passions – whether in sports, entertainment, information, games or social networking.



The latest TV lineup will be on display at Samsung’s booth #12006 in the Central Hall at the International Consumer Electronics Show, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), January 6-9, 2011. The Samsung Plasma D6500 series TVs, a CES 2011 Innovations Design and Engineering Award winner, will also be on display in the Grand Lobby at the LVCC.



Samsung continues to deliver against its promise to create products that evolve with the needs and desires of our customers. We expect 3D and smart TV features to become mainstream as people realize the benefits,” said Sangchul Lee, Senior Vice President, Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Such immersive and smart entertainment is best experienced on larger screens and our Plasma+1 feature, a result of breakthrough engineering and design, means more people can enjoy this at home without an increase in cost.”



Mr. SangSuk Roh, president of Samsung Levant said: “As a result of Samsung’s team creativity, we were able to redefine the standards of screens to meet the needs and demands of our customers and offer them Samsung advanced and developed technology. This new product is another achievement in a series of Samsung unique products.”



As the No. 1 brand for TVs in the US and globally, Samsung led the industry in 2010 with the launch of the world’s first 3D TV and today holds over 70 percent of the market share in the US. As 3D content becomes more prevalent, the company expects more consumers to opt for 3D features in their TVs. To this end, it aims to reduce the cost of acquiring a 3D entertainment system – 3D TV, Blu-ray player, 3D glasses and content – in 2011 by more than two-thirds and making 3D features available in a wider range of models.



The increase in screen size facilitiates greater interaction and a more immersive overall picture experience when viewing 3D TV content, movies or gaming.



Stylish TV with Outstanding Picture Quality and a Larger Viewing Screen



Samsung’s Plasma D8000 Series is a Full HD plasma TV that is designed to deliver our best viewing experience in 2D and 3D. The D8000 Series features a dark metallic bezel combined with Samsung’s ToC™ border for an understated cool elegance associated with luxury items. More importantly, the thinner bezel makes possible the added inch in screen size without an increase in the overall size of the TV.



The Plasma D8000 Series features Samsung’s Real Black Filter technology, which reduces the onscreen glare to produce darker blacks and sharper images. The plasma panel has also been redesigned to deliver outstanding black luminance. The TV also includes Samsung’s proprietary Crystal Full HD engine with Cinema Smooth technology that delivers smoother motion effects when watching their favorite Blu-ray discs. These features combine to give the D8000 Series a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1, and pristine depth and dimension to onscreen images.



The Plasma D8000 Series is also compatible with Samsung’s Bluetooth 3D active glasses and multi-display Touch Control TV remote; this remote can be a second portable TV, offers a QWERTY keyboard for easy text input during web browsing and acts as a universal remote control for your onscreen content. With built-in Wi-Fi, viewers have access to Smart Hub to view and search for content on Samsung Apps or on DLNA-certified devices.



Solid All-Round Performer with Advanced Connectivity Options, 3D Video Processing Technology and Stunning Design



Samsung’s ultra-slim Plasma D6500 Series is a 1080p 3D TV that offers a range of features that makes it an outstanding all-round choice for those looking to enhance their TV experience.



The Plasma D6500 Series offers a dichotomy in design texture, between cold, black metal and warm, smooth glass. The cabinet consists of a brushed metallic black frame and the translucent mold that encases the frame and uses Samsung’s ToC™ technology to create a luxurious finish. The same pattern is reflected in the silver stand, where a reinforced glass neck is attached to a black matte metal base. With the narrow bezel, Samsung TVs can fit into viewing spaces previously reserved for smaller screen sizes, so for example, a 51-inch TV can fit into a spot previously occupied by a 50-inch screen.



With Samsung’s built-in 3D processing technology, viewers can easily up-convert 2D content and render it in high-definition 3D for a richer, more immersive entertainment experience. Its powerful system-on-chip not only renders standard 2D content into 3D entertainment in real-time, but also offers video-enhancing tools that produce sharp, color-rich and smooth pictures. The Plasma D6500 Series also uses Bluetooth to connect Samsung’s 3D active glasses, thereby eliminating problems such as interference and strict line-of-sight requirements, so that viewers can enjoy a more stable image and greater flexibility to watch the television from practically any viewing angle.



With built-in Wi-Fi, viewers can also stream content to the Plasma D6500 Series from other DLNA-certified devices using Samsung AllShare, as well as access to a broad range of apps via Samsung Apps.
