Samsung’s Galaxy AI, Z Flip 6 trending at The Voice of Germany
Samsung once again enters the stage of “The Voice of Germany” in 2024 as an official partner. Alongside the talents of Germany’s number one music show, the Galaxy AI-powered Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a big appearance.
This year’s coaches are looking for new stage talents for their teams and the grand finale. In the spotlight at The Voice of Germany 2024, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 with Galaxy AI.
- Under the slogan “Showtime for New Talents,” Samsung’s current 360° campaign kicked off with the Blind Auditions on September 26 and will run through to the finale in December.
- The campaign is aimed at Millennials and Gen Z. The music show airs Thursdays at 8:15 p.m. on ProSieben and Fridays at 8:15 p.m. on SAT.1 and on Joyn.
The slogan of the campaign builds a bridge between the stars of the show and Samsung’s foldable star: folded, it easily fits into a pocket, just as the talents are “pocketing” their competition on the way to the finale.
The FlexCam with Auto Zoom perfectly stages the talents. Galaxy AI makes photo editing for stage-ready photos simple. Language barriers can also be overcome thanks to the Galaxy AI’s features like Interpreter and Live Translate.
“One of the most successful music shows in Germany and our foldable talent with Galaxy AI – they belong together for us. The success of the partnership over the past two years speaks for itself. We had already positioned the Galaxy Z Flip 5 in the emotional context of this thrilling show and are building on that this year with the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with Galaxy AI,” says Mario Winter, Vice President of Marketing at Samsung Electronics.
Samsung Display successfully developed a quantum dot ink recycling tech. The company believes this technological innovation is aimed at enhancing the cost competitiveness of its QD-OLED displays.
The Korean display maker also plans to improve equipment performance and process capabilities to increase productivity and yield. QD ink regeneration technology is groundbreaking but it isn’t the only way to increase competitiveness.
QD ink regeneration technology
Samsung managed to recover and reprocess 80% of the ink that went unutilized in the production of the QD emissive layer. This was made possible through the development of tech to collect and recycle QD ink wasted during the QD-OLED manufacturing process.
This achievement is expected to bring annual cost savings of over $7.3 million (approximately KRW 10 billion). The QD light-emitting layer is formed using inkjet printing that densely sprays red and green QD ink through micro nozzles in micrometer sizes.
Any QD ink left in the nozzles was previously discarded, accounting for approximately 20% of the total QD ink used in the process. With its QD-OLED receiving rave reviews, Samsung Display is using more QD ink than ever before.
“By developing this groundbreaking technology that recycles high-quality QD ink in-house, we will significantly contribute not only to cost reduction but also to resource recycling,” Samsung Display said.
