Which Colour of Galaxy S20 FE Best Describes You? | BTS x Samsung

Tuesday, October 06, 2020

Taken a shine to the newly launched vibrant Galaxy S20 FE? If you have, you’ve probably already given some thought to what colour you'd like, and maybe even why you'd like that colour. Your favourite colour is said to define a big part of who you are, and can offer an inside look into your own personality and behavioural traits.

The Galaxy S20 FE comes in a selection of six vibrant colours to suit every attitude, look and personality. We’ve dug deep into the psychology of colours to share how colour choices give an insight into an individual’s personality!

Galaxy S20 FE in Cloud Mint

You are known for your zen, trustworthiness and thoughtfulness. You will always be there for your loved ones when they need you. You lend an ear, do favours, and never disappoint them.

Galaxy S20 FE in Cloud Lavender

As a Lavender lover, you are a sophisticated, caring, and calm person. Conventional norms do not influence you. You are a problem solver, open to options.

Galaxy S20 FE in Cloud Orange

Orange is typically seen as a happy colour, often associated with sunshine. If your favourite colour is orange, you are a social person with a vibrant personality, as the color represents optimism, enthusiasm, and creativity.

Galaxy S20 FE in Cloud Red

Red is an active colour and a show-stopper. It shows that you’re energetic, strong-willed, and passionate; and that you don’t mind standing out from the crowd.

Galaxy S20 FE in Cloud Navy

Go-getter, confident, and peaceful – that’s how most people would describe you. You’ve got it all. You are open-minded and not afraid to ask for and pursue what you want.

Galaxy S20 FE in Cloud White

There is no doubt that white gives off a genuine, pure, and reliable vibe. You are a kind soul and would go out of your way to help even absolute strangers by the street. In addition, you have a refined taste in life and prefer a classy lifestyle.

Express your best self and pre-order from now to 8 October 2020 at RRP RM3,399 (256GB). Customers who pre-order a Galaxy S20 FE 5G will be eligible for exclusive gifts worth a total of RM586, which include a UV sterilizer with wireless charging, a one-time screen crack protection plan, and clear standing cover.

A memorable night of iKON x SAMSUNG in Singapore

Monday, March 04, 2019

In celebration of Samsung Galaxy’s tenth anniversary, worldwide renown iKON has once again hit Singapore’s sunny shores last Thursday evening (21st February) for Samsung Galaxy’s “Unleash Next Gen Bold” event hosted at Resorts World Sentosa.

The South Korean boy group aggrandized the launch of Samsung’s upcoming state-of-the-art innovations, the Galaxy S10, S10e, and S10+. Their ever-supportive fans, iKONics, had turned the event into a red sea even prior to the start of the event. Before, their idols could step foot on stage, the audience was first introduced to the brand new Samsung Galaxy S10+, much enhanced from its forerunner, including upgrades like a triple-lens camera, Wireless PowerShare and more. All while the cheers of the fans were comparable to that of their solo concert in Singapore last November despite the event being private.

Fans were eager to see their idols as soon as the presentation ended, the night kicked off with their catchy hit “Love Scenario”. The grand crowd at the private event amounting to a whopping 1,500 cheered them on throughout, leaving the septet a bundle of cheery smiles.

When the crowd favorite finally came to an end, the talk section set for about 20 minutes began. Being a well-known avid gamer in the industry, member Chan-woo was smiling from ear to ear, as he spoke about the release of the Fortnite limited-edition skin and emote that features himself. In this same line of thought, for an exclusive period of time, a unique Fortnite in-game iKONIC outfit and a Chan-woo scenario emote will be made exclusively available for patrons of Galaxy S10 and S10+.

Shortly after, the members in lieu of the the contents of the event, started to have a discussion on what was their favorite feature of the new device. One of the members, Jin-hwan revealed that his preferred feature was that of the camera that could take selfies in a pretty manner as well as the triple, wide-angle lens that could be utilized well to take group photos together as 7 members. In accordance, they also showed their best selfie poses to the crowd.

They proceeded to take a group photo with the crowd as their segment was coming to an end soon. They then performed final songs “Bling Bling” and “Killing Me”, maintaining the high tension and energy throughout running to corners of the stage. As they thanked their fans, they proceeded to provide top-class fan service, offering to take selfies with fans’ phones or proceeding to high-five the fans up front.

Although it was only a one-hour event, the bittersweet parting with IKON was definitely a memorable and mesmerising night for fans of IKON, IKONics, ending with the members wishing that they have another chance to be able to visit Singapore again soon.

We would like to thank SAMSUNG for the invitation.

Over a month ago, Samsung kicked off its social media contest which invited all Samsung Galaxy smartphone users to snap their most creative mirror selfie for a chance to win a 4-days 3-nights all-expense paid trip to South Korea. The three winners were announced during the contest’s grand finale, Mirror Mirror Me night, where Noor Liyana Asha Binti Mohd Noor, Laven Lim Jia Hui and Noor Ashyla Binti Mohd Jalil won the chance to be a part of South Korea’s number one reality TV show ‘Get it Beauty’, as well as personally meet South Korean celebrity Jung Hae-in.

3 lucky winners who will be going to Korea!

Noor Liyana Asha Binti Mohd Noor, 25, an event planner from Perlis was surprised with her winning as it was totally out of her expectation. “The picture I uploaded onto Instagram for this contest was actually a picture I happened to snap at another event. I never expected to be a winner, and yet I’ve been given this crazy opportunity. I’m so excited to go to Korea and learn what I can, as I too am a makeup enthusiast,” she said.

“No words can describe my joy and excitement when I found out I was one of the three winners,” said Laven Lim Jia Hui, a 24-year-old fashion designer who resides in Kuala Lumpur. “Discovering that I was one of the 50 shortlisted participants was already good enough, as tonight’s event was so nicely planned. The activities, such as soap-making and nail art, were a lot of fun; and now I have this chance to go to Korea, thanks to Samsung.”

Groupfie time! Participants enjoying themselves at the event

For Noor Ashyla Binti Mohd Jalil, a 28-year-old pharmacist from Johor, tears almost broke out when her name was called as the last winner. “I was so happy, I almost cried. Not many people would get an opportunity like this, which I am extremely thankful for. I found out about this Mirror Mirror Me selfie contest through Instagram and decided to put up a picture of my own. To be able to go to Korea to learn about makeup, as well as meet Jung Hae-in, it’s like a 2-in-1 dream come true for me, since I’m a big fan of his too!” she said.

Makeup artist, Kim Ki-Soo sharing his makeup tips

Samsung’s ‘Mirror Mirror Me Night” was held at Nathalie Gourmet L’espace, which was attended by 50 participants. Although not all were able to win a trip to South Korea, they were graced by the attendance of Kim KiSoo; a South Korean comedian turned celebrity makeup artist; who taught the crowd his ingenious techniques of makeup.

Nothing says fun like a group wefie moment with Han Hee-Jun
