Following the Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung Newsroom sat down with remarkable athlete ambassadors from Team Samsung Galaxy, Samsung Members Stars and consumers to hear their first reactions to the newly unveiled Galaxy products.
“It’s amazing to be here at Unpacked for the first time,” said Sky Brown, professional skateboarder, surfer and member of Team Samsung Galaxy. Her favorite new feature was Instant Slow-mo, powered by Galaxy AI, which adds new frames to slow down videos. “I’m always filming my skating and surfing,” she revealed. “The Slow-mo is insane. I can capture everything to analyze and fix my tricks. It’s so helpful with the things I do.”
“The presentation was unbelievably detailed, and the passion was unreal,” said Jagger Eaton, Olympic skateboarder and fellow member of Team Samsung Galaxy. What caught his attention the most was the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s camera, particularly its Space Zoom and Slow-mo features. “The first thing I did when I walked into the Galaxy Experience Space was grab the phone and use the camera,” he shared. “With Galaxy AI, I feel like you can use it for everyday life.”
Samsung Newsroom then had the opportunity to meet with Samsung Members Stars, the company’s brand ambassadors who share their passion for Galaxy with Samsung Community members worldwide.

Ahyeon Lee and Ayeong Lee, twin sisters from Korea, shared their excitement about seeing the all-new Samsung Galaxy S24 series unveiled in person. Of all the new Galaxy AI functions, they chose Note Assist and Circle to Search as the most impressive features. “I use Samsung laptops for studying and note-taking to organize my schedule. It’s fantastic that AI can summarize my notes in one go, saving me the trouble of doing it manually,” said Ahyeon Lee. “Before, when I came across clothes or shoes that I liked, I used to take pictures and ask around for where to buy them. Now, with Circle to Search, I can look for information immediately with a simple swipe,” added her sister, Ayeong Lee.

Tomas Stasiukevičius, a reporter from Lithuania for Delfi, found Samsung’s efforts to overcome language barriers particularly impressive. “I was completely blown away by all the AI that enhances the experience of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series,” he said. “I’m really excited about the new Interpreter and Live Translate features that you can actually use to communicate in a foreign language without any boundaries.” Tomas recounted a personal experience facing language barriers in Spain, where English wasn’t widely spoken, making communication challenging. “However, with the new Galaxy S24 series, traveling has become limitless.”
▲ Ngô Trần Thịnh from Ho Chi Minh City Television at Galaxy Unpacked 2024
Ngô Trần Thịnh, the Head of Digital Content at Ho Chi Minh City Television, praised the translation of Live Translate, even for complex language pairs. “I used to think translation was impossible, but with AI, it’s absolutely possible.” Putting the feature to the test, he spoke in Vietnamese while his friend communicated in English, achieving a “100% accurate” translation. In his role, Thịnh focuses on making technology seamless for users, noting that Samsung is excelling in this aspect.” That’s what I love about Samsung’s technology – it’s ushering in a new era of AI for all.”
