Samsung introduces new Gaming Hub campaign to bring more innovation to gamers
Samsung introduces a new campaign for its Gaming Hub to bring more innovation to gaming enthusiasts. This is an interactive platform for Samsung Smart TVs that allows gamers to play the main releases of the cloud gaming market directly.
What’s more interesting is that a player doesn’t even need to connect to a console. They just have to access the platform in the TV menu, sign in to one of the available game streaming apps, and subscribe to one of the options in the catalog, such as the Xbox Game Pass, available exclusively on Samsung’s Smart TVs.

Thiago Cesar, marketing director at Samsung Brazil’s Consumer Electronics Division, says –
“Game streaming technology allows users to play online without downloading and pre-emtheird storage, all straight from the cloud. In addition, we partnered with industry giants like Xbox and Nvidia to bring the best titles on the market, including classics and big releases.”
Here are some of the main questions that consumers usually ask about the Gaming Hub as well as the answers to these questions so you can learn more about this innovative service.
What advantages does Samsung Gaming Hub offer compared to video game devices?
One of the main advantages is the practicality of having access to games only with Smart TV, without the need to buy a video game or individual games. Recent titles, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, and hits like Sea of Thieves, can be enjoyed simply and quickly, bringing leisure and fun to the whole family.
What do I need to use Samsung Gaming Hub?
With only a Samsung 2022 Smart TV, compatible bluetooth game control and internet access, users can already enjoy the Gaming Hub. When accessing the service by remote control, just connect the gamer control and choose which of the streaming apps you want to subscribe to to enjoy more than a thousand games of genres, styles and different times. From the latest on the market to old games that are pure nostalgia, the platform offers fast and practical entertainment for every kind of gamer.
What types of games do I find on the platform?
After choosing which service to subscribe to, the user already has hundreds of games available to enjoy, with options for the whole family. If you choose the Xbox, for example, the most veteran may face the Covenant threat in the acclaimed Halo Infinite game, or even speed up in cars tuned to Mexico’s paradisiacal locations in Forza Horizon 5, all with state-of-the-art visuals. And of course the kids don’t sit out, with options like Minecraft Dungeons, a combat game that allows you to build different scenarios.
Which control should I buy to play?
For the convenience of the user himself, the Samsung Gaming Hub is compatible with several options of Bluetooth controls. Both traditional, and xbox-own, and other brands can be used on Samsung’s platform. To answer this doubt, the official website shows all the options of templates. Another alternative is to use a USB connection control that is also compatible.
I’m interested and I don’t know much about this universe, how can I start?
With a simple and intuitive interface, Samsung Gaming Hub is perfect for casual and experienced gamers. Even if the person doesn’t know much about the titles available, partner services have a curation full of recommendations based on their gameplay, plus the option to create a list of interests so you don’t miss that game you want to try later. The platform also offers tutorials and can have content customized according to your personal taste.
Parents can also be more relaxed about the content that young children consume thanks to the option to set the age limit on titles. Simply select your child’s age from the pop-up menu so that only the games available for their age rating are clickable. Otherwise, the platform will require an access password.
Samsung’s latest foldable phones come with Google Messages by default. The company has now revealed the reason behind this move on Galaxy devices. Samsung says Google Messages replaced Messages to foster RCS adoption.
According to AndroidAuthority, a source explained Samsung’s decision to switch to Google Messages as the default messaging app. The recently released Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 come with Google Messages with RCS enabled by default.
Looks like promoting Google Messages on Galaxy devices will boost RCS adoption. Samsung Messages isn’t already installed on newer phones. However, one’s stopping you from getting it on your Galaxy from the Galaxy Store.
While many apps support the RCS feature, Google Messages offer the best user experience. Making it a default messaging app is an effort to boost the adoption of RCS tech. Apple is also preparing to bring RCS chat functionality to iMessage for iPhones.
What Samsung source said:
- Even if messaging apps follow the RCS standard, the availability may be limited depending on which app the other party uses. That’s why we decided to make Google Messages the common messaging platform, allowing Galaxy users to communicate more freely. This also enables a messaging app to respond to changes of the RCS standard more quickly and efficiently.
Previously, Samsung devices launched in the US came with two messaging apps. This time, the company has removed the Samsung Messages. During the first setup, users are notified that Google Messages is the default messaging application.
Samsung SmartThings gained the international standard ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. The company has officially announced this major development in its global connected living platform.
SmartThings received ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security management systems. Certification reiterates that the SmartThings Cloud operates per international standards.
To be certified, a company has to meet the standard across a total of 123 detailed items, including policies for information security, access control for information assets, and incident response.
SmartThings receiving the ISO 27001 certification is the result of our sustained focus on the protection of information in a hyper-connected world with exponentially increasing intelligence.
Seungbum Choi, Executive Vice President and Head of Device Platform Center at Samsung Electronics said “this is just another step in our drive to fortify the platform’s security. We will continue to find new ways to ensure that SmartThings’ personalized services are provided even more safely.”
BSI Prez says that they have recognized that the operation capability and security level of Samsung SmartThings is excellent. It will further boost trust in the SmartThings platform and strengthen business competitiveness.
ISO 27001 is the leading global standard for ISMSs and was established by the International Organization for Standardization. It provides companies with guidance to manage the risks to information assets systematically and achieve information protection goals.
Samsung Health app integrated the Dr.diary (Doctor Diary) glycated hemoglobin feature. The blood sugar management platform announced the launch of its glycated hemoglobin estimation functionality on Samsung’s Health application.
According to ETNews, Dr.diary announced the integration of a glycated hemoglobin level feature in Samsung Health. Galaxy users will now be able to check the estimated glycated hemoglobin level provided by Doctor Diary.
To activate the feature, Health app users will have to permit certain conditions of data in the Blood Sugar service. It is worth noting that glycated hemoglobin is a key figure for diabetes diagnosis, which users will find worth using in the Health app.
Established in 2017, Dr.diary is a blood sugar management platform. It analyzes and predicts the changes in glycated hemoglobin using its own algorithm. Earlier this year, the firm secured a patent for “glycated hemoglobin estimation based on blood sugar data table.”
Song Je-yoon, CEO of Doctor Diary, said, “With our predicted glycated hemoglobin level prediction algorithm being installed in Samsung Health, more people will be able to recognize their glycated hemoglobin level and manage their health more efficiently.”
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a standardized numerical value of the percentage of hemoglobin, such as hemoglobin, which has been glycated by glucose. Glycated hemoglobin reflects the average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months.
Samsung Health (with Wear OS Galaxy Watch) users can conveniently check their estimated glycated hemoglobin level within the app and use this information to manage their blood sugar levels through diet and exercise.
