Avengers 2: Age of Ultron extended trailer highlights Samsung products

It is not uncommon to see some of our favorite gadgets in movies and TV shows coming out of Hollywood. Usually its not a mere coincidence that these products find their way in these productions. Companies actually pay to have their products featured and Samsung is one of the companies that takes part in product placements. Extended trailer for Avengers 2: Age of Ultron is a testament to that fact.

This extended trailer was published today on the official Samsung Mobile YouTube channel. It shows more or less what we have already seen in the first trailer of this move that was released a couple of weeks back. However there is an extended shot of the Black Widow checking out Loki’s staff on a tablet. No need to guess, its a Samsung tablet.

You also get to see a Samsung sign in the background as the Avengers fight through a mall, eventually ending up bringing destruction to a Samsung store.

This is the result of the Marvel-Samsung partnership announced back at the Galaxy Tab S premier event in New York back in June. The partnership will also bring content for Gear VR in the future.

78-inch curved UHD TV with gold covered back will be auctioned for charity

Samsung’s 78-inch curved UHD TV is pretty expensive as it is but if you’ve got more money than you know what to do with then this is going to interest you. The company has teamed up with Christie’s to develop one single unit of the aforementioned TV with the back having a gold lacquer-painted finish.

This TV will be put on display at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center starting November 20th. After the display it will be auctioned by Christie’s Hong Kong. All proceeds from this auction will be given to Orbis, a global non-government organization, that aims to improve access to high quality eye health.

Sung Yong Hong was commissioned to do the artwork which captures the “Memory of TV” and depicts “iconic scenes that the television shares with the public.”

Samsung Flow provides seamless content handoff between devices

Yesterday at the Samsung Developer Conference in San Francisco the company made a few announcements ranging from virtual reality to connected objects for the home to health. During the keynote Samsung Flow was also unveiled for the first time. Flow will enable seamless content handoff between different Samsung devices, be it smartphones, smartwatches, tablets and even TVs.

Flow has three core components. There’s Transfer, Defer and Notify. Transfer hardly needs any explanation. As the word suggests, this will allow users to transfer content from one Samsung device to another with a couple of taps, so it can be a picture, a video call or a webpage.

Defer allows users to pause an activity and then pick it up later from where they left off on another device. So for example if you’re using a smartphone to work on a spreadsheet you can defer it until you’re back at your desk where you can pick up working on it through the tablet. This also works with multimedia so it will be possible to pause a movie you’re watching on a smartphone or tablet to pick it up right where you left off on a Samsung TV.

And then there’s Notify, which is pretty self explanatory in itself. This pushes notifications and status alerts about devices. So even if your smartphone is a few feet away your Samsung TV will be able to notify you about an incoming call, or about the battery running low.

All of this is controlled through a single dialog box which apps can pull up. The box will display nearby Samsung devices which are compatible with Flow, and any of its core components. Developers will be able to integrate it into their applications as well. Samsung has not yet revealed when and precisely how Flow will be made available for its various devices.
