Samsung inspires Malaysian youth to enrich foldable phone apps

Samsung is engaging Gen Z in reimagining foldable app experiences through its collaboration with top local universities. Samsung is organizing a Developer Day hackathon where students will pitch ideas to enrich apps UI/UX on the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldable phones in Malaysia.

Taking place on June 14 and 15, the Developer Day hackathon will enable students to leverage Samsung and Android operating systems’ capabilities to flex tech creativity, as well as pitch their apps in the real world and benefit foldable phone users in Malaysia.

3 winning teams will be selected each day across the 2 days, bringing it to a total of 6 winning teams. The winners get to bring home Samsung products worth up to RM39,188 each day. The hackathon is one of the many activities during Samsung’s Galaxy Space, a Gen Z-inspired experiential event that is open to the public.

The hackathon is organized in collaboration with Taylor’s University and Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR).

This comes on the back of Samsung’s recent event, ‘Reimagining Foldables for Malaysians’, where the company collaborated with top local organizations to showcase the optimization of local apps that Malaysians use on a daily basis, bringing it closer to their hearts.

“At Samsung, we are passionate about bringing relevant mobile innovation to consumers, so it made sense for us to get Gen Z involved in creating new ideas and experiences for the Galaxy Z that are relatable to them. This is also in line with our ESG mission to empower young Malaysian talent to make waves in the tech space. We look forward to inspiring ideas with potential to bring them to market,” said KM Liew, Vice President & Head of Mobile eXperience, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.
