FAITH: A Short film shoot by Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
“Faith” is a short thriller film of 11 minutes. It clearly shows the destructive power and relativism of belief through the story of the protagonist following faith. In this work, director Na Hong Jin has a unique mise-en-scene, which uses dark images and suspenseful elements.
The overall atmosphere of the movie is very dark, and the new features of the Galaxy S23 Ultra helped a lot. The details are well conveyed, and the meaning of the film is also conveyed very well.
Actors Go Joon and Choi Moo-sung, who starred in the movie “Faith”, showed high-level action and rapid emotional changes in a short period of time.

In response to the host’s question about his shooting experience with the Galaxy S23 Ultra, director Na Hong-jin said, “It is true that I had a lot of worries as I had to shoot the movie with a smartphone. I came to know that I have a level that can be used for filming. Contrary to what I was concerned about, I was able to create a work that exceeded expectations by capturing all the details such as faces and props.”
He further added, “I learned how subtle the Galaxy S23 Ultra is at capturing details in the dark. So, I specifically asked the art director to handle the props on set with care. There were real objects on display on the shelves. When editing and viewing the effects, each line of the prop is expressed very delicately, and there is no difference compared to professional shooting equipment.”
“The amazing performance of the Galaxy S23 Ultra was confirmed once more in the focus, which was alive despite the constant camera movement. It also clearly captured the focus beyond the lens of the glasses worn by the actor.”
When asked about the experience of filming with a smartphone, Choi Moo-seong said, “ It was definitely a new experience. Unlike a regular movie set, the smartphone camera was not easily visible, so it was easy to immerse yourself in acting. ”
Actor Go Joon also said, “ I was able to adapt quickly, just like any other movie set, and I felt comfortable throughout the filming because there was little pressure on the big camera. I saw it for the first time on the screen today, and the sense of speed was overwhelming, and the sense of immersion throughout the movie was great, ” he said in a review.
In an interview with a newsroom after the premiere, Director Nahong Kim said, “If you use the mobility and functionality of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, it’s good enough. You can try it.” When asked if he would like to use new devices such as smartphones to make films in the future, he said, “It would be interesting if the user could change the lens of the smartphone to suit various situations. It would be nice if the functions actually needed in the movie scene were applied.”

Samsung’s factory will deliver the latest Galaxy smartphones, made by Egyptian hands and global technology. Moreover, it will help transfer technology and technical know-how to the Egyptian market, thus supporting the indigenization of the mobile phone industry in the country.
Egypt’s ICT Minister noted that the govt is keen to introduce incentive schemes for investors and provide a workforce well-versed in electronics-related specializations. The new factory builds on the productive cooperation with Samsung, which paid off with the manufacturing of educational tablets in Egypt.

Samsung provides Rugged Galaxy devices that meet the needs of industries that demand reliable, durable, and powerful mobile devices under a variety of working conditions, even in the harshest environments. Recently, by testing the durability of the Rugged lineup, construction contractor Murray Kruger conveys that the Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro are capable of surviving harsh construction conditions.
Kruger has been in business for 22 years and started his own contracting company in 2012. It specializes in insurance repairs and renovations, possibly one of the harshest construction environments with smoke, ash, clogged basements, toxic fumes, and below-freezing temperatures.
According to a 2022 survey by Samsung Electronics Canada of Toronto Building Society members, more than 40% of respondents believe their current mobile devices cannot cope with their work environment.
Both the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro and Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro are IP68 rated and meet the MIL-STD-810H standard for harsh environment durability. The devices are scratch-resistant, water- and dust-resistant, can withstand drops of up to 1.5 meters, and can function in extreme altitudes and temperatures.
The advanced Gloves Mode allows the screens of both devices to remain touch-responsive even if the user is wearing leather gloves. Even, the staff of Kruger Construction also noted that both devices provide excellent connectivity even behind steel barricades or in flooded basements. Galaxy XCover 6 Pro exclusively supports 5G and Wi-Fi 6E for ultra-fast connectivity.
Through both the Samsung rugged devices, the construction crew got creative. Krugers puts several tests but the performance of these devices exceeded expectations.
