Samsung Electronics, named as the world’s most
sustainable technology company in 2011 by Dow Jones
Sustainability Index has launched a new range of
notebooks and smart televisions in Oman
Cutting edge products
Samsung Electronics Co, a global leader in digital media and
digital convergence technologies, recently launched the new
Samsung Notebook Series 5 ULTRA and 2012 Samsung Smart TV lineup
in partnership with its distributor, Al Seeb Technical Est. (Sarco),
the authorised distributors of the complete range of Samsung
products in Oman.
The Samsung Notebook Series 5 ULTRA redefines computing
experience by offering top of the line performance in a thin,
light and stylish device. The Series 5 ULTRA is powered by a
second generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor; combined with
ExpressCache™ system by Diskeeper and a powerful AMD Radeon™ HD
graphics card, delivering an incredible experience packed in a
thin and light design.
“We are confident, that the launch of the Series 5 ULTRA will
further strengthen our notebook lineup and solidify our growing
position within the Notebook PC industry,” says Denzil Dsouza,
business head of Notebooks. “With the Series 5 ULTRA, consumers
will be able to enjoy superior performance, trendy looks and
complete portability in a lightweight device and is a full
option Ultrabook.”
The 2012 Samsung Smart TV lineup launched in Oman is set to
revolutionise the way we watch television by redefining the way
in which consumers manage their home entertainment experience
and interact with their TVs.
The new family of Smart TVs encompasses Samsung’s three guiding
philosophies that equip consumers with the future of Smart TV
technology.
The first is smart interaction, an intuitive platform based on
motion control, voice control, and face recognition commands for
the TV. Recognising 26 languages including Arabic, users can
turn the TV on or off, activate selected apps or search for
content in the web browser simply by speaking and with a wave of
hand consumers can turn the volume and channel up or down browse
and choose a link or content via the web browser.
The second philosophy is smart content that includes the
expansion of more robust and personalised content through smart
TV apps, Family Story, Fitness and Kids.
The third is the smart evolution technology which is defined by
Samsung’s new Evolution Kit in which each year, the smart TV
range will be upgradable every year through the evolution kit.
Ajay Ganti, CEO of Sarco says, “We are committed to delivering
top-of-the-line Samsung products and world-class services to our
customers. Samsung has achieved double digit growth in Oman and
we believe that these exciting new products will establish Sarco
as the leader in consumer electronics distribution in the
country.” |
