Innovation Lab #31: Share your ideas with us!

[Admin]

Our community is a great place to discover new and innovative ideas for our devices and services. 

Innovation lab is a simple way for you to share your ideas directly with our teams.

In week 31 of #Innovationlab, we are requesting you to share your ideas for the following theme:

1. Samsung Global Goals: General feedback and proposals on features and user experience

This week, we would like to look into the Samsung Global Goals application which is pre-installed on all the latest Galaxy smartphones and is available for all Android users and is also easily turned off if it does not suit the user's intention.

The Samsung Global Goals app puts its advertising revenue in your hands so that every in-app ad you view earns money to be donated at your wish to your favorite Global Goals. The app is made by Samsung in partnership with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). The community is quite responsive on this SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) related initiative and there are even discussions on how to accrue more money using what module of the app and how.

More explanations can be found here: https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-global-goals/

Simple put, the mechanics is that you add interesting wallpapers and ads to your screen, and any ads you see from this app, earn money for possible donations to support the Global Goals such as fighting to end poverty, reducing inequalities, and tackling climate change and so forth.

When earnings are accumulated, you can donate to your favorite Goals. All of the donations from the Ads displayed by the app will be made by Samsung to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).

As a Galaxy user, feel free to suggest any improvement, new feature or make a request which you feel will help us improve the devices.

All you need to do is :

• Create a post detailing your idea/suggestion
• Include illustrations/diagrams/images or any detail you feel will help us understand it better
• Include #InnovationLab in your post title/subject

We will go through all your suggestions to bring significant improvements. Week 31 topics will be open till 26th Sept. Week 32 topics will be announced later.

You can see Week 30 topics here. 

Looking forward to amazing suggestions from you all! 

Cheers

Hey Samsung! I'd like to share a very important point related to the Microsoft and samsung ecosystem

Firstly, the Microsoft and Samsung ecosystem is amazing, the your phone app integration is excellent, no problems so far.

However, we do have a problem with the web browsers, sure, samsung internet is an amazing browser, it's fast and reliable. But we cannot sync our history, favorites and open tabs, like chrome.

Now I have tried using ms edge on android, it's quite awful, it's not as fast and smooth as it is on PC...

So it'd be great if you could make a seperate edge app specifically for galaxy devices, or bring history and open tabs sync between samsung internet and ms edge pc.

Hope you will take this into consideration and do the needful. Thanks!
