Samsung Exclusive Stores Get ‘Suraksha’ Certified in India to Ensure Consumer Safety

Samsung, India’s most trusted smartphone brand, is excited to announce that all its Samsung Exclusive Stores have been ‘Suraksha’ certified to ensure consumer safety at a time when social distancing is the new normal. The Suraksha certification will ensure that consumers feel safe and confident when they visit Samsung Exclusive Stores to buy their favourite Galaxy smartphones. Suraksha Store is a public private initiative to ensure safe and secure environment for consumers and store employees.

 

“For Samsung, consumers are at the core of everything we do. We launched a massive initiative to ensure that our Exclusive Stores across the country become Suraksha certified stores. Our initiative will ensure that consumers and employees working at these Exclusive Stores feel confident about their wellbeing and safety. Samsung remains committed to stand with the people in its fight against this pandemic and limit its spread by the implementation of Suraksha measures across all Exclusive Stores,” said Mohandeep Singh, Senior Vice President, Mobile Business, Samsung India.

 

Samsung has taken special care to sanitize all its Samsung Exclusive Stores before opening them to consumers. Hand sanitizers have been made available at the stores, making it mandatory for Samsung Experience consultants to use them at all touch points, especially at the entry and exit doors of the stores.

 

To strictly adhere to government’s social distancing guidelines, Samsung Exclusive Stores is encouraging consumers to maintain a minimum distance of 1.5 meter between themselves. Samsung Experience consultants have also been trained to follow hygiene and safety advisories

 

Customers will be encouraged to use digital contactless payments and swiping machines will be sanitized before being given to the customer to ensure the highest standard of hygiene is maintained across our Exclusive Stores.

 

Only a limited number of customers will be allowed within the store at any given point to avoid crowd formation. At these Exclusive Stores, Samsung experience consultants have been instructed to greet customers with folded hands to avoid physical contact.

 

How it works:

Store Managers across all Samsung Exclusive Stores registered themselves at surakshastore.com for Suraksha training. After completing the training, they took an assessment test to get Suraksha certificates. All Samsung Exclusive Stores have been following the Suraksha standards to ensure the safety and wellbeing of consumers as well as employees.

Series of steps to benefit consumers:

Over the last two months, Samsung’s focus has been to adapt its business model to suit the changing needs of consumers. Samsung has taken a number of steps to enable the doorstep delivery of both products and services to ensure social distancing. Samsung has tied up with Benow to launch a new digital platform to enable customers to buy Galaxy Smartphones online from local stores. Samsung has partnered with leading social media and technology firm Facebook to train offline retailers go digital in a big way. Samsung has started the home delivery of one of its most popular services – Samsung Finance+, making it simpler for customers to buy Galaxy smartphones at easy finance at their homes.

[The Samsung Members Show] Tips to Get the Perfect Low-Light Shot

Low-light photography can be challenging for most of us. But #withGalaxy and its amazing camera innovations in play, great low-light shots are not far away.

 

Samsung Newsroom India spoke to some Samsung Members who shared nifty tips on capturing great low-light photos using a Galaxy smartphone.

“I’ve been using Galaxy smartphones for the past four years. In low-light photography, the Variable Aperture technology helps a lot,” says Akath Dua, a Samsung Member and Galaxy Note10+ user.

 

A dentist by profession and a photography enthusiast, Dr Ramdas Pai has been a Samsung Member for three years and swears by his Galaxy smartphones for photography.

Here are some of the tips shared by our Samsung Members for low-light photography:

 

 

Keep a Steady Base

 

Photo: Samsung Member Dr Ramdas Pai  #withGalaxy

 

While shooting in a low-light situation, the shutter speed slows down to allow light to pass through the aperture for a longer duration. Movements or shaky hands can result in a blurry image. “Try keeping your phone on a stable surface or use a tripod to eliminate blur in your images,” says Dr Pai.

Use Night Mode

The Night Mode on Galaxy smartphones help improve the overall image quality by calibrating shadows and highlights and by reducing noise. “Night mode helps in bringing out the colours and details in my photos when the light is dim. Some of my best shots have been with this mode,” said Akath Dua.

Use the Pro Mode

In the pro mode in the camera app, users can tweak the settings as per their preference. Shutter speed, aperture, ISO can all be adjusted to best suit the photographer, which gives greater control to the user. According to Samsung Member Jasleen Singh – also known as Mr Geek – Galaxy smartphones have the best image sensors for fantastic shots.

Samsung Electronics announced today that its Samsung Health platform is now available on 2020 Samsung Smart TV models. Designed to revolutionize the concept of at-home workouts, Samsung Health is a user-centric wellness platform that goes beyond fitness. It is a companion that syncs across various digital devices – smartphones, wearables and now Samsung Smart TVs. With Samsung Health, users will be able to enjoy free premium classes, start new wellness routines and even get the whole household moving with family challenges and more – all from the comfort of home.

 

“The whole intention of Samsung Health is to motivate our consumers to live healthier lives by meeting them wherever they are, across Samsung platforms,” said Won-Jin Lee, Executive Vice President of Service Business at Samsung Electronics. “We knew that to do this, we needed to develop a user-centric and immersive platform that offered a variety of in-home fitness and wellness options. Given the current climate, we hope that the launch of Samsung Health makes it easier for our consumers to prioritize their physical and mental wellbeing on a daily basis.”
