June 2026 Managing Staged Rollouts Using Content Publish API in Galaxy Store Seller Portal
Galaxy Store’s Staged Rollout feature allows application updates to be released to a limited percentage of users rather than to all users at once. By rolling out an update gradually (for example, to 5% of users at first) developers can monitor the application's real-world stability, and if issues are detected, the rollout can be paused to help protect the remaining user base. As confidence in application stability grows, the rollout percentage can be programmatically increased up to 100%, ensuring safe and speedy global deployment.
This tutorial shows how to automate your rollout workflows using the Content Publish API and how to implement smooth, controlled releases. Learn more on our blog to discover how to deliver a better user experience with staged rollouts by improving application stability upon release and reducing manual effort.

Learn more 6G ISAC: Expanding the Value of Mobile Networks Beyond Connectivity
Mobile networks have traditionally been designed to connect people, devices, and services. Each network generation has seen improved data rates, latency, reliability, coverage, and capacity. In the upcoming 6G era, networks are expected to go beyond delivering information, and to understand the physical environment in which communication takes place.
Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) is a key technology of the 6G shift. ISAC means that radio signals used for communication can also carry information about the surrounding environment, and it can create a distributed sensing layer without requiring a separate nationwide sensing infrastructure, by reusing the existing communication infrastructure, radio resources, and signal processing capabilities.
While research in the 5G era largely focused on UAV detection, ISAC in 6G expands the scope beyond simple object detection to a broader framework for environmental awareness, including environment/background sensing, vehicle/fixed-UE sensing, and indoor CPE-based sensing. Take a deep dive into ISAC, the core 6G technology that extends network beyond simple connection by sensing its environment, on the Samsung Research blog.
Learn more When One Sensor Learns Another: Cross-Modal AI for Wearables
Wearable devices are expected to deliver increasingly accurate health monitoring while remaining compact, lightweight, and power efficient. However, combining multiple sensing modalities often introduces challenges involving hardware complexity, battery consumption, and robustness. For example, photoplethysmography (PPG), a key technology for heart rate monitoring, is highly sensitive to motion artifacts, signal degradation, and increased power usage during continuous tracking. accelerometer (ACC) sensors, in contrast, are more robust and energy efficient, but do not directly measure cardiovascular activity. Existing multimodal approaches rely on explicit sensor fusion by combining both sensors simultaneously, and assuming that all sensors remain available and reliable during inference.
Based on Samsung Research’s recent work presented at ICASSP 2026, we would like to introduce a lightweight, cross-modal virtual sensing framework for wearable devices. The framework learns latent relationships between synchronized sensor streams during training and operates using only a single sensor during inference, enabling virtual PPG representations to be reconstructed from accelerometer signals. Evaluated on data collected during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions, the new approach significantly improves ACC-only heart rate estimation and achieves performance close to full multimodal fusion systems, even under severe motion conditions. Learn more about this cross-modal virtual sensing technology, which demonstrates the potential of hardware-efficient wearable AI without relying on explicit sensor fusion, on the Samsung Research blog.

▲ Visitors explore the Samsung Lounge at Art Basel in Basel 2026, where Samsung Art Store was presented as a physical exhibition. Each June, Basel, Switzerland becomes a meeting point for the global art world, with Art Basel’s flagship fair drawing leading galleries, artists, collectors and institutions to Messe Basel and cultural sites across the city.
From June 18 to 21, this year’s fair brought together 290 galleries from 43 countries and territories presenting works ranging from historical foundations to the most progressive contemporary and digital practices, reaffirming its place at the center of the international art calendar. As the Official Art TV provider of Art Basel, Samsung Electronics presented an experience that connected personal taste with digital curation, showing how Samsung Art Store can bring art discovered at the fair into everyday spaces through screens designed for the home.
A Living Gallery of Personal Aesthetic
Samsung Art Store is a digital art platform on Samsung Art TVs, where users can explore curated works from leading museums, galleries and artists. At Art Basel in Basel (ABB), the Samsung Art Store Lounge translated that experience into a physical exhibition, showing how digital curation can make art discovery more personal.
▲ Through a survey order form, artworks are matched to each visitor’s personal art preferences. The experience began with a short order form. Visitors answered survey questions about what first drew their eye, what they looked for in art and what kind of piece would add meaning in their home. Their responses were scanned through a tablet, then matched to one of four curated themes: Geometric, Surreal, Vibrant or Painterly.
▲ (From left) Custom badges showed each visitor’s art theme, turning their results into a keepsake from the experience. At the center of the lounge was the Art Wall, a gallery-style installation composed of Micro RGB, OLED,1 The Frame Pro and The Frame displays from Samsung’s 2026 Art TV lineup. Once each order form was scanned, the Art Wall displayed artworks from the theme matched to the participant’s results.
“The Frame is so stylish and I loved how clearly you could see the artwork from every angle,” said an attendee.
The experience continued into the Giveaway Zone, where visitors received a custom warranty card and badge tied to their theme. The card playfully certified their art style, while the badge carried the result beyond the Art Wall, sparking conversations around shared tastes, contrasting preferences and the kinds of art guests imagined living with at home.
▲ (From left) Visitors see their personalized art theme appear on Samsung Art TVs inside the lounge. One attendee said, “I was surprised by how well the Vibrant theme matched my taste. The colors looked so rich on the Samsung Art TVs. I could picture one of those pieces bringing so much energy into my home.”
Between visitor sessions, the Art Wall shifted to highlight the city’s artistic identity, previewing Samsung’s new ABB 2026 Collection, curated exclusively for Samsung Art Store. Featuring 24 works by Swiss and Swiss-based artists from eight galleries exhibiting at this year’s fair, the collection offered a regional view of Basel through different generations, styles and ways of seeing.
An Artifact of Time, Framed by Daniel Arsham
As Samsung’s 2026 Art TV Ambassador, visual artist Daniel Arsham brought one of contemporary art’s most recognizable visual languages to The Frame Pro. Based in New York, Arsham is known for his concept of “fictional archaeology,” creating sculptures, drawings, films and architectural works that imagine present-day objects as relics from the future.
▲ Artist Daniel Arsham, Samsung’s 2026 Art TV Ambassador, stands with The Frame Pro featuring his custom bezel. In collaboration with Samsung, Arsham created a custom bezel for The Frame Pro that brings his sculptural language to the television frame. Made with stone-like material, the bezel features a raised texture that recalls topographical maps and the erosion patterns seen throughout his work. The surrounding wallpaper was developed from ultra-high-resolution 3D scans of sculptures from Arsham’s studio, enlarging their crystalline and weathered surfaces into an immersive installation around the screen.
▲ Arsham’s custom bezel for The Frame Pro features a raised texture inspired by topographical maps and erosion patterns. Together, the bezel and wallpaper gave The Frame Pro the feeling of an object already marked by time.
To mark his role as Samsung’s 2026 Art TV Ambassador, Arsham joined visitors at the Samsung Art Store Lounge for a June 17 book signing, giving guests a closer look at his practice and his collaboration with Samsung Art TV.
▲ Arsham meets visitors during a book signing at the Samsung Art Store Lounge on June 17. “An artist’s job is to interpret everyday life through their own lens. When viewers see that perspective, it creates a shared experience and a deeper connection,” said Arsham.
A Conversation on Discovering Your Artistic Sensibility
Samsung’s Basel story continued, moving from the fair floor to Gare du Nord for a special event, “Art Night with Samsung Art TV.” During the event, invited guests gathered for a conversation about finding art in everyday spaces and how Samsung Art TV brings curatorial instinct into the home.
▲ Daniel Arsham, Karim Crippa and Daria Greene discuss individual preference, art and Samsung Art TV during Art Night with Samsung Art TV. The evening’s talk brought together voices from across art, curation and digital display. Moderated by content creator Daniel Fanslau, Arsham spoke alongside Karim Crippa, Director of Art Basel Paris and Daria Greene, Head of Content and Curation for Samsung Art Store how artistic sensibility is shaped by everyday experiences and how art can be curated, discovered and lived with.
▲ Guests exchange thoughts on personal taste and the artworks they would choose for their own spaces. The conversation returned to a simple idea: art can have a place in the home without losing its presence. Through Samsung Art TV and Samsung Art Store, artistic sensibility becomes something people can choose, display and return to every day.
