Premium Performance Makes Way for the Future of Mobile Gaming


For creators and gamers alike, the desire to push limits and constantly reimagine what’s possible requires technology that outpaces expectations. Together, Samsung and Qualcomm optimized the Samsung Galaxy experience with the brand new “Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy”, the most powerful and efficient platform ever in a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and the fastest Snapdragon available today. Meanwhile, on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, a 5000mAh battery powers a larger camera than Galaxy S22 Ultra without increasing the device’s size.

In anticipation of the future of ultimate digital realism, Galaxy S23 Ultra comes ready to support real-time ray tracing as it comes to the mobile gaming mainstream. Users will be able to see noticeably more lifelike renderings of scenes, thanks to technology that simulates and tracks every ray of light.

The Galaxy S23 series raises the bar for premium technology that can enrich people’s lives and help contribute to a healthier planet. Since the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung Galaxy increases its use of recycled materials from six internal components in Galaxy S22 Ultra to 12 internal and external components in Galaxy S23 Ultra. Galaxy S23 series also has a wider variety of recycled materials than any other Galaxy smartphone, including pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass and post-consumer recycled plastics sourced from discarded fishing nets, PET bottles, and water barrels. The new S series is the first to market Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, offering durability for long-term use and consisting of an average of 22 percent pre-consumer recycled content25. Plus, every Galaxy S23 smartphone comes in a redesigned packaging box that applied paper made with 100 percent recycled paper.


User-Friendly Security and Privacy Enable a Transparent Experience without Compromise

Secure and private experiences are the foundation of the Galaxy S23 series. Every smartphone comes with Samsung's end-to-end Samsung Knox protection, which has received more government and industry certifications than any other mobile device, platform, or solution on the market. The Security and Privacy Dashboard on Samsung Galaxy gives users full visibility over who has access to their data and how it’s being used. With just a glance, it’s easy to see if personal data is at risk and receive simple prompts to change settings for a more secure experience. Users can also decide exactly which applications and programs get access to their data and how it can be used.


More Freedom and Flexibility for Connected Lifestyles

At the core of the Samsung Galaxy S series’ premium experience is the uncompromising innovation of Samsung Galaxy Ultra. But the power and creative capabilities of Samsung Galaxy Ultra don’t stop at smartphones. With the brand new, first-ever Galaxy Book3 Ultra, and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, users can now enjoy the ultimate Samsung Galaxy’s ecosystem.

Across every Galaxy S series model, connected experiences get added benefits. Samsung Multi Control29, which connects mouse and keyboard functionality between a Samsung Galaxy PC and tablet, now extends to Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 for the ultimate flexibility between devices.

Book Feature: Take Me A Hundred Years Back + Exclusive Interview with Author Cam Adajar

Can you imagine what the world would be like in 2122? You might imagine something so advanced and lots of great inventions. Technology is top-notch and fully incorporated into our daily lives. Perhaps something a bit similar to the Jetsons?

But can you imagine what would it be like if all these expectations in 2122 did not happen? The flying cars and other innovations that people expect a hundred years from now did not happen. No technological advancements. No new inventions. Instead, people went back to medieval times because of the massive paranoia that turned the world against science. 



Take Me A Hundred Years Back is a story of a girl who wishes she was born a hundred years back. In her current time, scientists were prosecuted and forced into hiding, including Crisper's (the main character) family. Now, she'll try to change their situation. She envisions a different world by bringing back science to what she thinks is its rightful place. Do you think she'll be successful? 

Anyway, we are excited to have this exclusive interview with Author Carol Anne Marie Adajar, a registered microbiologist, women's advocate, and a graduate of UP-Los Banos. 

1. Can you share with us something about the book that isn't in the blurb?

The book is meant to be a commentary on the current situation in the Philippines regarding misinformation and fake news. 

2. What inspired the idea for your latest book?

I was inspired by all the fake stuff against science like anti-vax and flat earth movements that riddle the internet. I thought, why not write a book that somehow captures what may happen if people would stop believing in scientific principles altogether? 

3. How long did it take you to complete the book?

It just took me around a week.

I had some time off from school because of a thunderstorm and my boredom while checking out the water level motivated me to finish everything.

I'm also quite a fast writer because of the nature of my job as a freelance writer so I also used that to my advantage to finish the book.

4. What part of the book was most challenging to write and why? 

I was torn about whether or not I'll lengthen the book by making something in the latter chapters not happen, so I kind of struggled with it.

Although I chose the easier path, I still had what-ifs regarding this part. hehe

5. What do you hope your readers take away from this book?

I hope my readers can realize the importance of scientific principles in the improvement of humanity. I also hope that they can support the call to increase the salary wages of scientists.

6. If you’re planning a sequel or writing the next book, can you share a tiny bit about your plans for it? 

The manuscript for my new novella is already accepted by 8Letters and I'm just waiting for further instructions. This is meant to be a commentary on the complexities of human emotions.

Aside from this new novella, I'm also writing 2 other stories.

All of these are sci-fi books because I'm trying to build my name as an indie Pinoy sci-fi author.

7. Where can they buy your books or find out more about you?

You may grab a copy of my book in the following channels:


or follow me on my social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter

Thank you, Author Cam, for agreeing to this interview. We are happy to learn more about you and your book and we are looking forward to your other sci-fi books.
