Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Samsung Gulf Electronics is showcasing its portfolio of best-in-class products including the all-new Galaxy A series, 4D Chairs and Gear VR at GITEX Shopper between March 29 – April 1. During which the consumer electronics giant will demonstrate its world class innovations in the company’s growing product ecosystem.

During GITEX Shopper this year, Samsung will showcase its latest range of mobile devices including the Galaxy A Series, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones, as well as Samsung wearables such as, Gear Fit2 sports bands, Gear IconX cord-free fitness earbuds, and its revolutionary Gear S3 smart watch, in addition to other exciting products and accessories.

The Samsung pavilion boasts dedicated experience zones, which consist of different activities that provide visitors with a thrilling experience, including 4D motion chairs that highlight the Gear VR and allow shoppers to enjoy an immersive virtual reality experience.

At its stand, Samsung will showcase the technology of the Galaxy A7, which will be placed inside a box with minimum light and customers will be able to take photos using the smartphone’s latest functionality - taking bright pictures in low light environments. A real crowd puller will be the IP68 that challenges customers to fish out the A7 and A5 phone from an aquarium using a fishing rod. This activation showcases the water-resistant and the floating camera button features as customers are asked to take a selfie with the advanced camera technologies. A dedicated zone called ‘Expand Your Storage’, challenges customers to guess how many movies, songs or pictures the 256 GB storage can accommodate through a toss and shoot ring game. Each aspect highlights the phone’s built in memory and maximum storage capacity. Furthermore, customers are able to experience the Galaxy A’s front camera autofocus and clear selfie images on a backdrop of their choice.
