Earlier today, Berlin was lucky enough to host the Samsung Unpacked event, where the Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 10.1, and Galaxy Gear took center stage.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 is Samsung’s newest Galaxy tablet, which brings multi-window capabilities, improved S Pen and S Note functionality, lots of partner content, and the new Samsung KNOX security service. It features a higher 2560×1600 pixel resolution too.

The Galaxy Note 3 is the latest in their popular line of phablets, a word that caused me physical pain to type. The Note 3 comes equipped with a 5.7-inch full HD Super AMOLED display, 13 megapixel rear camera, a new S pen, with a flurry of new features, and again, Samsung KNOX.

Then there’s Galaxy Gear, which puts Samsung near the front of the Smart Watch race. Galaxy Gear slaps around your wrist and connects with your phone to alert you to incoming texts, emails, and other alerts. It also features voice operation and a 1.9 mexapixel camera.

All in all, an incredibly solid delivery from Samsung, and Galaxy Gear is up there on my list of most-wanted toys. Scroll down to check out the press releases for all three gadgets and Samsung KNOX.

EAS (Exchange ActiveSync Server). These features make the GALAXY Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) an ideal
device for BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device to work)

daily tasks and infuses innovative features that help consumers tell the story of their lives. Samsung
GALAXY Note 3 delivers a larger and better screen for the best viewing experience and more
powerful multitasking, and introduces significant S Pen improvements that make everyday life easier
and faster.

GALAXY Note 3 makes your everyday life amazing
“We introduced the original GALAXY Note in 2011 and launched a whole new smart device category.

said JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile Division at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung

taste, Samsung will also offer exchangeable back covers in dozens of additional colors at launch.
Click S Pen to make life easier, faster and more exciting

The new S Pen reinvents and modernizes the classic note-taking experience by providing the ability
to accomplish everyday tasks with just one click. The advanced S Pen is designed to be fully
functional as a communication driver between the phone and the user by creating essential input and
control features. It plays an integral role in how users interface with the device, making all daily
routines easier. A simple click of the S Pen button while hovering over the screen introduces users to Air Command,
a palette of five powerful features that truly make tasks easier and faster. With the Air Command
feature, there is no need to toggle between screens, memorize commands or look up different menus.
The Air Command feature provides access to the following key functions:

? Action Memo allows users to handwrite a note, and automatically execute a function or
convert that handwritten information into formatted content. Action Memo can instantly initiate
a call, add to contacts, look up an address on a map, search the web, save a task to a to-do
list, and more

? Scrapbook enables users to organize or track down content and information from various
sources including the web, YouTube and Gallery in one place so that users can easily look
back at collected content all at once. When consumers save content for future use,
Scrapbook also collects source material or URLs allowing them to easily refer back to the
original source.

? The Screen Write feature captures the full screen image of the current page on the device
and allows users to write comments or additional information onto the captured image.
? S Finder allows users to expansively search for content on their device regardless of the type.
By putting in keywords or filters such as date, location, and content type, users can search
related documents, events, communication threads, and even the Help page – all in one
place. In addition, users can also search for hand-written content in their Notes and memo
applications, as well as symbols and formulas.

? Pen Window allows users to use the S Pen not only for drawing sketches or writing notes,
but now also for opening a small application window for a true multitasking experience.
Simply by drawing a window of any size, anywhere on the screen, users can easily and
quickly open another application window such as YouTube, calculator or Browser without
pausing current activity on the screen.

For more advanced note-taking, the new S Note presents a comprehensive solution that enables
consumers to easily write, organize, edit and browse notes with a user-friendly interface and the Easy
Chart feature. The new S Note can also be synced with Evernote or a Samsung account and be
enabled for accessing and viewing from different devices. Furthermore, when a user wants only a
certain part of an image to be taken from the web or Note 3 content, the advanced new Easy Clip
feature allows them to roughly draw around the desired image and then it converts that content into a
more precisely cropped image.

Larger Note screen delivers enriched viewing experience and enables you to do more
The Samsung GALAXY Note 3 delivers a larger screen and the increased size is matched with
powerful improvements that allow users to fully utilize the additional screen space. The 5.7-inch Full
HD Super AMOLED screen provides a stunning and defined video viewing experience for watching
Full HD content, distinct clarity for reading and an elegant canvas for content creation.
My Magazine provides a personalized news, social media, entertainment and in-the-moment content
experience. Developed through a partnership with Flipboard, it offers an integrated content
consuming experience in a modern and dynamic magazine-style layout.

The GALAXY Note 3 enables enhanced multitasking capabilities that allow users to fully utilize the
larger screen.

• With the new Multi Window, users can toggle seamlessly between applications without
closing the window or opening a new page, allowing for enhanced productivity and
collaboration across programs. Consumers can also run one application in two windows at
the same time. For instance, users can read the news in one browser while conducting a
web search in another, or send an instant message through ChatON to a friend while
reading a message from another friend.

• In addition, using Drag and Drop mode within the new Multi Window, users can easily drag
and drop content such as a text or image from one window to the other in an instant. • Pen Window from Air Command further enhances multitasking experience by allowing consumers to draw a window on the screen and launching popular applications while
continuing current tasks on the GALAXY Note 3.

An improvement to Group Play, video sharing, is now available. Originally introduced along with the
GALAXY S4, Group Play allows users to play the same music, to play games together, and to share
documents. It now enables consumers to share videos and play content together with their friends
simultaneously. Users can also connect up to five devices alongside each other to create a “big
screen” viewing experience.

Samsung KNOX & Find My Mobile

The new GALAXY Note 3 comes with enhanced privacy and security protection provided by Samsung
KNOX. Users can activate Samsung KNOX with ease which allows them to run and store securitysensitive applications and data inside a protected execution environment called “container.” The security inside the container is strengthened by system-level protection of Samsung KNOX against
malware and phishing attacks as well as hacking attempts on physical devices when devices are
stolen or lost. For instance, important personal pictures or video can be stored in the container with no
worries for data leakage due to hacking. In addition, users may choose to store enterprise
applications and data such as corporate email, contacts and calendar and allow the IT department to
manage the container through EAS (Exchange ActiveSync Server). These features make the
GALAXY Note 3 an ideal device for BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device to work)

Furthermore, the GALAXY Note 3 is equipped with an improved Find My Mobile feature that allows
users to disable the phone when it is stolen or lost. With the enhanced user authentication, the
technology prevents stolen mobile phones from being reset to factory settings, and allows users to
remotely track or erase the data from their lost or stolen mobile phones.
GALAXY Gear, the smart companion for GALAXY Note 3

that allows users to live life in the moment while staying connected. GALAXY Gear will notify users
and give them quick previews of incoming texts, emails and more coming from GALAXY Note 3. It will

the screen. Together, GALAXY Note 3 and GALAXY Gear extend Samsung’s efforts to provide users
with the opportunity to design their lives, to express their passions and to make everyday life more
easy and enjoyable.

Samsung KNOX available for use by consumers

Making security readily accessible for consumers and enterprise

Berlin, September 4, 2013 – Today Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd., a global leader in digital media
and digital convergence technologies, announced the commercial availability of Samsung KNOX for
use by consumers.

Samsung KNOX is an end-to-end solution that provides security hardening from the hardware through
the application layer. Samsung KNOX implements a concept called “container” that is a separate
secure execution environment for a set of pre-screened applications to run and store data.
Applications running outside the container have only limited access to the data stored inside the
container where security is enforced by system-level protection of Samsung KNOX. User data stored
in the container is protected from malware and phishing attacks as well as hacking attempts on
physical devices when devices are stolen or lost.

Samsung originally announced earlier this year the availability of Samsung KNOX for use by
enterprise by giving IT departments the comprehensive control they need, without infringing on
employees’ privacy and keeping them satisfied with the consistent user experience of their personal
device. Samsung, since then, has extended its security features to enable consumers to activate the
container without involving the IT department and store important personal data inside the container.
For example, important personal pictures or video can be stored in the container with no worries for
data leakage due to hacking. In addition, users may choose to store enterprise applications and data
such as corporate email, contacts and calendar allowing the IT department to manage the container
through EAS (Exchange ActiveSync Server). These features make Samsung KNOX an ideal platform
for BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device to work).

“Samsung KNOX represents Samsung’s strong commitment towards making its devices BYOD-ready
with the necessary security and feature enhancements,” said Dr. Injong Rhee, Senior Vice President
of KNOX Business Group, Samsung Electronics. “We are delighted to see Samsung KNOX provide
advanced data and privacy protection for both enterprises and consumers. The availability of
Samsung KNOX to consumers will accelerate the adoption of Samsung devices for BYOD as
prosumers can now readily experience Samsung KNOX with ease at no cost.”

Samsung KNOX-enabled devices are approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for use in
DoD networks. Samsung KNOX will be commercially available across the globe on all Samsung’s
upcoming high-end smartphones and tablets including GALAXY Note 3 and GALAXY Note 10.1
(2014 Edition). Schedules for its availability to other market-deployed devices such as GALAXY S ?,
GALAXY S4 and GALAXY Note ? will be shortly announced.
