    The excitement surrounding Samsung’s latest foldable smartphones continues as six of Malaysia’s trending content creators take an early look at the brand’s newest devices, sharing their hands-on experiences with the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip8.

    The creators — Jestinna Kuan, Perry Kuan, Kittie Yiyi, Anthony Chang, Debbie Goh and Qiwiie — explored the new generation of Samsung foldables, highlighting the devices’ updated form factor, refined design and Galaxy AI-powered features. Following their hands-on sessions, the creators shared the features they found most appealing, particularly those designed to enhance productivity, creativity and everyday convenience.

    From the redesigned form factor to immersive viewing and smarter content creation, the latest Galaxy Z lineup is designed to offer users greater versatility through its foldable form. The integration of Galaxy AI also adds new capabilities aimed at helping users work, create and manage everyday tasks more seamlessly.

    To celebrate the launch and encourage Malaysians to join the conversation, the six creators are also hosting a Comment & Win 1 campaign, giving participants a chance to win a Samsung Galaxy Tab S11.

    To participate, Malaysians can visit any of the participating creators’ Instagram Reels featuring their first impressions of Samsung’s latest foldables. Participants must then leave a comment sharing their favourite Galaxy Z Fold8 feature by choosing one of three options: A) New Shape, B) Immersive Viewing Experience, or C) My FanCam for Easy Video Editing.

    Participants are also required to include the designated 🤩 emoji together with the hashtags #WithMyFold and #GalaxyZFold8 in their comment. Each comment counts as one entry, while participants can submit multiple comments for additional entries.

    The contest will run until 13 August 2026, giving Samsung fans and technology enthusiasts an opportunity to share their thoughts on the new foldable experience while standing a chance to take home a Galaxy Tab S11.

    Through the campaign, Samsung is bringing the conversation around its latest foldable lineup closer to Malaysian consumers, with local creators offering their perspectives on how the new Galaxy Z devices can support productivity, entertainment and creative expression.

These individuals represent a diverse range of specializations, including astrophotography, commercial and event photography, human interest and photojournalism, portraiture, travel, underwater, wildlife, and wedding photography, alongside cinematic storytelling and digital video production. Each participant is recognized for their creative excellence, industry experience, and meaningful contributions to Malaysia’s imaging community.

    The addition of EOS Filmmaker further underscores Canon’s commitment to supporting creators who work across cinematic, commercial, and digital video formats. As video-first platforms continue to dominate the content landscape, the programme aims to equip professionals with the skills, insights, and tools needed to thrive in an increasingly hybrid creative environment.

    Throughout the year, EOS Masters and EOS Filmmakers will play an active role in nurturing creative talent through workshops, talks, training sessions, and Canon-led initiatives. These engagements are designed to provide practical, real-world insights while showcasing how Canon’s imaging ecosystem supports high-quality storytelling across both photography and videography.

    Canon Marketing Malaysia President and CEO Masato Yoshiie highlighted that the EOS Master Programme reflects the company’s long-term vision of building a strong and credible creative community in Malaysia.
