  • ATLAS Vending & SWCorp Perluas Inisiatif Hijau dengan 50 ECOPOD Baharu di Seluruh Malaysia

    ATLAS Vending & SWCorp Perluas Inisiatif Hijau dengan 50 ECOPOD Baharu di Seluruh Malaysia

    Dalam satu langkah bersejarah ke arah Malaysia yang lebih hijau, ATLAS Vending, anak syarikat kepada Etika Sdn Bhd, bersama Perbadanan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal dan Pembersihan Awam (SW Corp) telah memeterai Memorandum Persefahaman (MoU) di ibu pejabat SW Corp di Cyberjaya. Langkah ini menyatukan dua peneraju nasional dengan misi bersama untuk memperluaskan infrastruktur kitar semula, memupuk tabiat lestari dalam kehidupan seharian, dan menjadikan gaya hidup hijau lebih mudah diakses oleh rakyat Malaysia.

    Di bawah perjanjian ini, SW Corp akan memudahkan penempatan 50 unit ECOPOD daripada ATLAS Vending. ECOPOD merupakan mesin kitar semula (Reverse Vending Machine) yang diiktiraf Guinness World Records sebagai mesin paling nipis di dunia, dilengkapi sistem pemampatan tin. ATLAS Vending juga akan bekerjasama dengan SW Corp untuk menempatkan unit ini di lokasi berimpak tinggi seperti pasar, hospital, universiti dan Pusat Transformasi Bandar (UTC).

    Dengan reka bentuk yang kompak dan praktikal, ECOPOD direka khas untuk kawasan yang sesak dan terhad ruang, menjadikan amalan kitar semula lebih mudah dan dapat dilaksanakan dalam rutin harian masyarakat. Berbeza dengan mesin kitar semula konvensional yang memerlukan ruang tambahan, ECOPOD menggabungkan fungsi mesin layan diri dan mesin kitar semula dalam satu struktur padat. Walaupun kecil, setiap unit mampu menampung sehingga 214 tin yang dimampatkan dan 70 botol pada satu masa, membuktikan bahawa reka bentuk pintar mampu memberikan kecekapan maksimum tanpa menjejaskan fungsi.

    Mesin ECOPOD turut menawarkan pengalaman mesra pengguna di mana individu hanya perlu memasukkan nombor telefon bimbit mereka untuk mula mengitar semula dan menebus kredit. Bagi pengguna yang mengitar semula produk Etika, kredit ganjaran akan diterima serta-merta dan boleh ditebus melalui mesin layan diri ATLAS bersebelahan untuk mendapatkan minuman dengan harga diskaun. Inovasi ini menjadikan kitar semula bukan sahaja mudah, tetapi juga menyeronokkan dan memberi ganjaran kepada pengguna.

    Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Etika Sdn Bhd, Santharuban T. Sundaram berkata, kerjasama ini menandakan satu langkah penting dalam memacu ekonomi kitaran Malaysia. Dengan menghubungkan aktiviti kitar semula secara langsung kepada rangkaian produk Etika, ECOPOD memudahkan rakyat mengamalkan gaya hidup lestari dalam kehidupan seharian. Beliau turut menegaskan bahawa matlamat utama adalah untuk menggalakkan lebih ramai rakyat Malaysia mengubah tabiat, meningkatkan kesedaran serta kadar kitar semula bagi mewujudkan persekitaran yang lebih bersih dan sihat.

    Sementara itu, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif SW Corp, YBrs. Tuan Khalid Bin Mohamed menegaskan bahawa kolaborasi ini merupakan contoh terbaik kerjasama antara sektor awam dan swasta dalam memperkukuh ekosistem kitar semula negara. Menurut beliau, ECOPOD menyediakan platform interaktif kepada masyarakat, terutamanya golongan muda, untuk memupuk amalan kitar semula dan menyokong aspirasi kelestarian Malaysia.

    ECOPOD merupakan inovasi buatan Malaysia yang direka dan dibina sepenuhnya di dalam negara, membuktikan keupayaan tempatan dalam menghasilkan penyelesaian yang mampu menangani cabaran global. Dengan penempatan mesin-mesin ini di kawasan awam, ATLAS Vending dan SW Corp bukan sahaja menjadikan amalan kitar semula lebih mudah dicapai, malah memperkukuh sumbangan Malaysia terhadap agenda kelestarian negara.

    Kerjasama ini turut selari dengan Rangka Kerja Kelestarian Plastik 2021–2030 yang menekankan penggabungan infrastruktur dengan penglibatan pengguna harian bagi membina tabiat kitar semula jangka panjang. Sejak diperkenalkan pada Mei 2025, ECOPOD telah menerima sambutan positif daripada masyarakat dan sektor korporat, sekaligus menetapkan penanda aras baharu bagi sistem kitar semula berasaskan ruang terhad. Dengan momentum ini, ATLAS dijangka mencapai sasaran penempatan 100 unit ECOPOD dalam tahun pertama pelaksanaannya.

    Pemeterai MoU bersama SW Corp ini menjadi bukti komitmen berterusan Malaysia untuk mempercepatkan usaha kelestarian melalui inovasi, kerjasama strategik, serta memperkukuh peranan penyelesaian tempatan dalam membentuk masa depan yang lebih lestari.

    Samsung Malaysia Honoured with ESG Business Award 2025 for Sustainable Innovation

    Samsung Malaysia Electronics is proud to have received the ESGBusiness Award 2025, a prestigious recognition that highlights the company’s strong commitment to sustainability, responsible innovation, and greener business practices. This milestone reflects the collective efforts of employees, partners, and customers who continue to support Samsung’s mission of creating a positive impact for both the environment and society.

    Central to this achievement is Samsung Malaysia’s ESG roadmap, which has guided the introduction of impactful initiatives that bring meaningful change. One of the key focuses has been the movement towards paperless solutions and digitalization. By adopting digital innovations such as the e-queue service ticket, Samsung has encouraged customers to embrace paper-free processes while improving efficiency and reducing waste. Between 2022 and 2024, more than 359,000 transactions were shifted to paper-free alternatives, a shift that saved the equivalent of 35 trees and contributed to global environmental goals.

    Another important initiative is Eco Repair, designed to extend the life cycle of electronic products while promoting affordable and sustainable repair solutions. This approach empowers customers to make greener decisions by choosing repair over replacement, which reduces e-waste and conserves valuable resources. From 2022 to 2024, Samsung repaired over 41,000 mobile devices and more than 18,000 televisions, helping to preserve an estimated 131,316 trees.

    Samsung has also addressed the growing challenge of e-waste management with the introduction of Eco Recycle Boxes at service centers nationwide. These collection points provide a safe and convenient way for customers to dispose of old devices, tablets, and accessories responsibly. By the end of 2024, this initiative had collected nearly 139 kilograms of e-waste, ensuring that materials were recycled in an environmentally sound manner rather than ending up in landfills.

    The ESGBusiness Award 2025 is not just a recognition of Samsung Malaysia’s commitment to sustainability, but also a celebration of the trust and participation of customers in this journey. Every digital transaction, repaired device, and recycled gadget is part of a collective effort to build a greener future. Samsung firmly believes that innovation and sustainability are interconnected, and with this award as inspiration, the company remains dedicated to driving positive change through eco-conscious solutions while continuing to lead by example in Malaysia’s sustainability landscape.

    Together with the community, Samsung Malaysia continues to show that even small actions can make a significant difference in shaping a better tomorrow.

  • Galaxy Z Fold7 Debuts at Unpacked 2025, Setting a New Benchmark in Foldable Tech

    Galaxy Z Fold7 Debuts at Unpacked 2025, Setting a New Benchmark in Foldable Tech

    Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold7 at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in Brooklyn, once again redefining innovation in foldable smartphones.

    As the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet, the Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces multimodal AI capabilities, a redesigned user interface, and the series’ first 200-megapixel camera. With ultra-level refinement across both design and technology, this latest device sets a new standard for foldable smartphones.

    Samsung Newsroom got an exclusive early look at the Galaxy Z Fold7 during Galaxy Unpacked 2025.

    The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date, measuring only 4.2 millimeters when unfolded and 8.9 millimeters when folded, with a weight of just 215 grams. These are groundbreaking figures, especially considering the device includes a cover display and a complex folding mechanism.

    The hardware innovation is immediately noticeable. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is significantly slimmer and more lightweight than its predecessors. It feels closer to a traditional bar-type smartphone in hand and is thinner than the average passport or card wallet, making it exceptionally comfortable to carry.

    The cover display has a wider 21 to 9 aspect ratio, which makes everyday tasks like messaging, browsing, and checking emails more convenient, all without the need to unfold the device.

    Design innovation also extends to the hinge. The newly developed Armor FlexHinge is thinner while still offering solid durability. The upgraded internal hinge structure also significantly reduces the visibility of the crease along the foldable display, improving both aesthetics and functionality.

    The Galaxy Z Fold7 is also the first in the Galaxy Z Fold series to feature a 200-megapixel camera, which captures four times the detail compared to its previous 50-megapixel counterpart. Combined with the AI-powered ProVisual Engine, the camera delivers sharper images and more vivid colors.

    Nightography capabilities ensure crisp, clear shots even in low-light conditions. The front main camera now offers a wider 100-degree field of view, making it ideal for group selfies and expansive travel shots. Users can now capture every moment with stunning clarity and scale.

    The Galaxy Z Fold7 also debuts with One UI 8, introducing Samsung’s all-new multimodal AI experience. With Google’s Gemini Live, users can share their screen in real time while interacting with the AI assistant, allowing for contextual help based on what is visible on screen.

    For instance, if a user sees a photo of an unfamiliar dessert, Gemini can analyze the image, identify the dish, and even recommend nearby restaurants that serve something similar. The assistant can then save the restaurant list and create a calendar reminder, completing both tasks at once. This seamless integration means there is no need to switch apps or manually enter information.

    Gemini becomes even more powerful when combined with the Galaxy Z Fold7’s large screen and Multi-Window feature. For example, a user can display a chair on one side of the screen and a room on the other, then ask Gemini whether the furniture fits the interior style. The AI assistant analyzes both images and provides useful suggestions, even offering color adjustment options.

    This Galaxy-exclusive user experience allows for intuitive and natural communication between users and their devices through text, images, voice, and live camera input. The Galaxy Z Fold7 represents more than just a design upgrade. It is a leap forward in integrating powerful hardware, smarter AI, and a best-in-class camera into daily life. The device delivers the ultra-premium experience that the Galaxy brand has promised, setting a new benchmark for foldables.

    The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 will be available for purchase at Samsung.com and in stores across Malaysia starting 1 August 2025. For added peace of mind, Samsung Care Plus offers extensive coverage for accidental damage, repairs, and replacements.

    From 9 to 31 July 2025, customers can pre-order the new Galaxy Z series from as low as RM3,999. Below is a summary of available models and prices.

    The Galaxy Z Fold7 is offered in multiple configurations. The 12 plus 256 gigabyte version is available in Silver Shadow, Blue Shadow, Jetblack, and Mint which is an online exclusive. Each is priced at RM7,799. The 12 plus 512 gigabyte version in the same colors is priced at RM8,399. The highest spec model, 16 gigabyte plus 1 terabyte, is available in Blue Shadow and Jetblack at RM9,899.

    The Galaxy Z Flip7 starts at RM4,999 for the 12 plus 256 gigabyte model, available in Blue Shadow, Coral Red, Jetblack, and Mint which is also an online exclusive. The 12 plus 512 gigabyte model is priced at RM5,599 and available in the same colors.

    An online exclusive model, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, comes in 8 plus 128 gigabyte and 8 plus 256 gigabyte versions. The 128 gigabyte model in Black and White is priced at RM3,999, while the 256 gigabyte version is RM4,299.

    Additional pre-order benefits include RM180 off for registration of interest, RM210 Samsung Reservation Plus rebate, a double storage upgrade worth RM600, and CIMB card rebates of up to RM400 depending on the model.

  • First Look at the Galaxy Z Flip7: Samsung’s Next-Gen Pocket Foldable

    First Look at the Galaxy Z Flip7: Samsung’s Next-Gen Pocket Foldable

    Samsung Electronics has officially unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in Brooklyn, marking a major advancement in foldable innovation. This launch represents the latest chapter in Samsung’s journey to redefine smartphone design and user experience.

    The Galaxy Z Flip7 takes flip-style smartphones to a new level by combining a compact and portable design with smarter AI features. It features the largest cover screen ever introduced in the Galaxy Z Flip lineup, offering a more intuitive experience in a sleeker form. Samsung Newsroom had the opportunity to get an exclusive hands-on experience with the Galaxy Z Flip7 during the Unpacked event.

    The device debuts with a full-front FlexWindow and a refined, slimmer silhouette. The standout feature is the 4.1-inch FlexWindow, which boasts ultra-thin 1.25 millimeter bezels that allow the display to cover nearly the entire front, except for the camera area. This expanded display allows users to carry out daily tasks like checking schedules, responding to messages, or using AI-powered tools directly from the cover screen without needing to flip open the device.

    Once opened, users are greeted with a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display. Both the FlexWindow and the main display offer up to 2,600 nits of brightness, a smooth 120 hertz refresh rate, and Samsung’s Vision Booster technology, ensuring excellent visibility and vibrant content even under bright outdoor conditions.

    In terms of size, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is the slimmest model in the series to date. It measures just 6.5 millimeters when unfolded and 13.7 millimeters when folded, with a total weight of only 188 grams. This makes it even more pocket-friendly without sacrificing performance or durability. The phone is reinforced with a durable Armor Aluminum frame and a thinner yet stronger Armor FlexHinge that ensures smooth folding and long-lasting use.

    Inside, the device houses a 4,300 mAh battery, the largest battery yet in the Galaxy Z Flip series. This extended power capacity supports up to 31 hours of video playback, giving users more freedom to stay connected and entertained without frequent recharging.

    One of the standout features of the Galaxy Z Flip7 is its integration of multimodal AI capabilities through One UI 8, which is specially optimized for the larger FlexWindow. This combination delivers a more seamless and intelligent user experience. For example, users can access Now Brief to check schedules directly from the cover screen. By long pressing the power button, users can launch Google’s Gemini Live assistant for real-time help with tasks like finding restaurant recommendations, checking the weather, or choosing outfits based on what the camera sees. This practical use of AI makes everyday routines smarter and more personalized.

    With its sleek design, smart features, and intuitive interface, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is built to adapt to users’ needs on the go. It not only improves on Samsung’s existing foldable technology but also introduces experiences that feel natural and effortless.
