    Galaxy A Series rolls out a new campaign with Shanaya Kapoor

    Mumbai: Samsung has rolled out a new 360-degree campaign for the Galaxy A Series. The “#AmpYourAwesome” campaign features youth influencers Shanaya Kapoor and Prit Kamani.

    The campaign is designed by Cheil India. They understand that Samsung’s gen Z consumers are evolved and look for a lot more than just megapixels to get a good capture and shoot that exciting content for their social handles.

    They realised that their young consumers understood image stabilisation as a concept but didn’t understand the technology behind it. Hence, they made the new release a solid combo of comprehensibility, relatability, and thrill.

    Speaking about this newly launched campaign, Samsung India general manager mobile business Akshay Rao said, “Young consumers today are more evolved, and seek features in the smartphone camera that go beyond megapixels. The image stabilisation innovation in the Galaxy A series allows one to capture precious moments of life flawlessly, without having to worry about ensuring shake-free shots.”

    Making our audience understand the OIS tech plus building a situation that’s relatable. Where these two met was in the latest Galaxy A Series film, set at a wedding. It tells the story of how Prit Kamani uses the A Series camera to capture the unique bridal entry and energy of Shanaya Kapoor.

    Talking about the ad, Cheil India CCO Vikash Chemjong said, “We had a feature in our A Series smartphone that most others didn’t—a camera lens that would move physically to offset the shake of the hand/body. The challenge was, how do we demonstrate this feature in a distinct manner? And the solution—presenting a guy on a dhol shooting the entry of a cool gen-z bride! No matter what the shake when he was shooting, the video was absolutely stable. While the bride might have been sceptical about the output, we were sure about it from day one!”

    Adding to it, Cheil India country head Ummed Singh Kajla said, “Our end game was to create business impact with an integrated campaign which spotlights the singular product benefit of optical image stabilisation, which is a unique feature in this category. The integrated campaign leveraged ATL, digital, media innovations (digital & OOH), influencers, social, retail and activation. We also roped in twenty five million Samsung member’s community to further amplify the campaign.”

    New Delhi: Samsung has launched a new campaign with actress Alia Bhatt for its recently-launched Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 smartphones.

    Directed by ace filmmaker Abhishek Varman, the campaign film shows Alia experiencing Galaxy Z Flip4 at a carnival while discovering the versatility of FlexCam and the nightography camera feature, along with her best friend. The carnival setting is an ideal background to express oneself in myriad ways with the stylish Galaxy Z Flip4.

    The #FlexEveryAngle digital film went live on Samsung’s social media channels.

    “I have been using the Galaxy Z series as part of my everyday professional and personal life over the past year. I look forward to adding new editions to my style essentials. Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 resonate with my persona and depict who I am. The unique flexcam feature in Galaxy Z Flip4 allows me to shoot videos and capture shots from different angles. I am excited to be associated again with the brand to showcase their new range of foldable phones,” Alia Bhatt said.

    Over the next few months, Alia will be seen featuring in a 360-degree campaign that includes digital and outdoor activations, along with hyperlocal and data-driven videos. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, different versions of the video using Alia and her voice will be created to serve hyperlocal markets, where young smartphone users are waiting to upgrade to foldables.

    Speaking on associating with Alia Bhatt, Samsung India senior director and head of product marketing Aditya Babbar said, “We are delighted to collaborate with Alia Bhatt for the foldables for the second year as she truly embodies the attributes of Galaxy Z series. Galaxy Z Flip4 is high on style quotient and resonates with Alia’s style statement. With the launch of Galaxy Z Flip4, we look to empower our millennial and Gen Z audiences with enhanced productivity and self-expression. Using the innovative flexcam capabilities, our consumers can capture videos and photographs in angles like never before.”

    Galaxy Z Flip4 builds on the success of Samsung’s iconic form factor, adding key features, including an upgraded camera experience, a larger battery and expanded customization while maintaining its ultra-compact design. Galaxy Z Fold4 opens up new possibilities for users by delivering Samsung’s most comprehensive smartphone experience to date, offering shape-shifting design, immersive and flexible displays and PC-like multitasking features, in addition to advanced camera technology and powerful processor.

  • Reliance Jio declares readiness for 4G launch; imports IPTV STBs

    Reliance Jio declares readiness for 4G launch; imports IPTV STBs

    MUMBAI: The Reliance Jio juggernaut is getting ready to enter the next phase. According to the Q1 2017 presentation Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) made to investors over the weekend, Relaince Jio’s Preview Offer for its 4G LTE services tests phase is doing very well.

    Reliance Jio officials announced that the company is ready to roll them out nationally, apart from four circles (these will take six to eight weeks) which were awarded to it on 6 July.

    It said that its network is available over 18,000 cities and more than 200,000 villages in the 2300 MHz/1800 MHz band.

    The company stated that its JioLyf Preview Offer is now being expanded and has attracted 1.5 million plus users to it. Each subscriber is consuming 26GB and speaking for about 355 minutes each month.

    Reliance Jio revealed that there has been a strong uptake of all the services it has been offering, considering the humungous data consumption. Among the ones that are popular is Jio Play offering 300+ channel (30 of them HD) across 15 languages in 10 genres, offering seven day catch up TV with pause and play and personalization features. The others that are gaining in popularity are JioOnDemand, (100,000 hours of HD-ad free movies and trailers), JioBeats (million plus songs in 20 different languages), JioXpresNews (500 plus content publishers) and JioMags (5,000 magazine plus issues across 15 categories and 10 languages).

    According to the RIL presentation, the company has set up a 100,000 strong retailer base to sell its LYF devices, which include Flame, Wind, Water and Earth priced between Rs 2,999 and 19,999. Another 500,000 outlets for SIM and recharge sales have been signed up.

    Last week Reliance Jio extended its Preview Offer to select Samsung Galaxy Phone users and it is now expected to allow IPhone 6, and 6S users to be able to sign up for it too by next week.

    Observers expect Reliance Jio to levy a data usage fee much lower than the 0.5 p per 10 kb – that has been talked about so far – when it launches. A commercial launch date that is being talked about is 15 August.

    Additionally Reliance Jio has also imported 15,000 IPTV set top boxes from Vietnam earlier this month, according to reports.

    The boxes reportedly have a price tag of Rs 5,500 and are an indicator that the company is possibly readying to introduce its fibre to the home services (FTTH) and could start delivering IPTV to customers in the not too distand future. All that subscribers have to do is download the JioPlay and JioOnDemand Apps to tune into content that could rival that offered by many other cable operators and DTH operators. Reliance Jio already has a national MSO licence. Pricing plans have not been revealed as yet, but expect them to be competitive.

    RIL reported a turnover of Rs 71,451 crore with a net profit of Rs 7,113 crore. in Q12017.
