Nokia partners with ONE to fight extreme poverty
Images captured on Nokia Lumia devices help spread the word of progress
London, UK – Leveraging the power of mobile technology, Nokia has partnered with The ONE Campaign to support their mission of ending extreme poverty around the world. ONE’s new music-based campaign, agit8, launches today to showcase the incredible progress that has been made in the fight and to amplify the call for action. Extreme poverty has been cut in half in the last 20 years, and the facts show that it can be virtually eliminated by 2030 – but only if we act now. The campaign includes a digital music platform featuring new video recordings of classic protest songs, a new film that will be projected on the iconic façade of the Tate Modern in London and impromptu live performances. As the visual voice of this once-in-a-lifetime global media campaign, Nokia is helping spread the word via images captured around the world.
Evocative images taken by prominent photojournalists, bloggers, amateur photographers and celebrities across the world using Nokia’s Lumia 920 smartphone will be projected onto the Tate Modern the evenings of 11-13 June. Moreover Nokia is encouraging its community to make their voices heard by capturing and sharing images, stories and experiences that support ONE’s “Progress via Protest” theme. The images, inspired by protest songs, are available to view and can be shared on Twitter using the official hashtag #nokiaxONECampaign or uploaded to Nokia’s official Facebook page (facebook.com/Nokia).
“A shared belief in connecting people has facilitated this exciting and dynamic partnership,” said John Nichols, Global Brand Director at Nokia. “With our leading-edge imaging technology, and the power of photos to help raise awareness of world issues, and bring people together, we are committed to help spread the mission of this incredible organization.”
ONE will use the high-quality photography generated by Nokia users to inspire millions of people to support their on-going grassroots advocacy work targeting extreme poverty and preventable diseases around the world. Visitors to one.org/protestsongs will find beautiful photography powered by Nokia alongside a diverse array of artists putting their own spin on classic protest songs. The site will include video performances from everyone from internationally-known artists to street buskers, and gives users the opportunity to add their voice to the fight against extreme poverty
“Advocacy at its core is a collective experience, a movement, that is meant to be shared with others,” said Jeff Davidoff, Chief Marketing Officer of ONE. “People share their experiences through pictures, making Nokia the perfect partner for our members to connect and campaign against extreme poverty.”

SAMSUNG INTRODUCES THE GALAXY S4 ACTIVE:
THE PERFECT COMPANION FOR EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE
The Galaxy S4 Active lets users focus on living life to the fullest by providing a rich experience without the worry of damaging the device
London, UK – June 5th, 2013 – Samsung Electronics today announced the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, designed to enhance the life experiences of actives users who want to stay connected even when they’re out exploring the most rugged mountain trails or the roughest rivers.
Simon Stanford, Vice President of IT & Mobile Division, Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland said: “The Galaxy S4 Active offers all the great features of the original Galaxy S4, but with added innovative protective design elements to suit our most active customers. Built for an outdoors lifestyle, the Galaxy S4 Active is a life companion for all environments.”
Durability
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active has been engineered to survive the demands of an active lifestyle, with features such as qualified protection from dust and water (IP67*) so users never have to leave the device at home during a long day at the beach or dusty hike. The fully sealed design keeps dust particles out and protects against water damage at a depth of one meter, withstanding up to 30 minutes of submersion. Equipped with a water-resistant earphone jack, the Galaxy S4 Active allows users to keep listening to their music in even the most adventurous conditions. Whether capturing every moment of a wild rafting trip or taking a great underwater photos in the pool, the unique construction lets users capture amazing pictures which would have been impossible using a normal smartphone.
(* IP stands for International Protection against ingress of solid foreign objects and harmful ingress of water. The highest level is IP68.)
Explore Further and Last Longer
Featuring a 1.9 GHZ Quad-Core processor and 2,600mAh battery, the device can handle the most intensive of tasks with ease and precision. The striking colour and resolution on the 5.0’’ Full HD TFT LCD screen (443 PPI) brings an optimum quality to playing games and watching videos, and with ‘Glove Touch’, cold weather and cold fingers no longer cause problems as the touch screen on the Galaxy S4 Active is fully operational when wearing gloves.
With an 8-megapixel rear camera, users can easily share images of their experiences on the go. Unique to the S4 Galaxy Active camera system is ‘Aqua Mode’, used to increase the quality and clarity for enhanced underwater images and videos. The volume key on the side of phone can also be used as a camera key, allowing users to open the camera application quickly to capture the moment. In addition, the camera transforms into a powerful LED flash light to assist in low-light and at night time by simply using a long press of volume key.
Fuller Life Experiences
The Galaxy S4 Active has been designed to incorporate the most popular features of the Galaxy S4 to act as an ideal travel companion.
‘S Travel (Trip Advisor)’ assists users by providing travel assistance, local information and recommendations to ensure the ideal experience even in unfamiliar environments. ‘S Translator’ makes international travel easy by providing instant text or voice translation for emails and text messages.
The camera interface is designed to make capturing meaningful moments easy with multiple shooting modes including ‘Drama Shot,’ which allows users to see all the action in one continuous time-lapse, and ‘Sound & Shot,’ which stores sound and voice together with the picture to capture the moment in an audio/visual format. With ‘Story Album’, photos taken with the Galaxy S4 Active are instantly collected and sorted according to a user’s timeline, geo-tagging information or a specific event, to create a photo album. To help facilitate sharing, the ‘Group Play’ function enables music, photos, documents and games to be enjoyed together across various devices including the Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Mini and Galaxy Mega 6.3.
‘Samsung Smart Pause’ enables control of the screen using optical cues. While watching a video, the footage pauses if the user looks away and starts up again when they look back, saving vital battery life and time spent rewinding. ‘Air View’ lets users preview the content of an email by simply hovering their fingers over the screen, saving time and data. With ‘Air Gesture’, users can change the music track, scroll up and down a web page, or accept a call with a simple wave of the hand. Additionally, ‘S Health’ helps users keep track of their personal health statistics and details. When paired with the S Health Accessory, users can monitor their heart rate, weight, sleep pattern and other personal measurements to assist in a healthy lifestyle.
Content and Services
The Galaxy S4 Active offers a variety of content and services to provide a seamless mobile experience anytime and anywhere.
Using the ‘Samsung Hub,’ users can access music, videos, books, games and learning. With a magazine-style interface, users can browse through a variety of content as well as purchase and manage applications easily, from a single Samsung Account. Users can also control their TVs through Samsung WatchON’s IR remote which transforms the Galaxy S4 Active into a remote control for TVs, set-top boxes, and DVD players.
Through ‘WatchON’, The Galaxy S4 Active also offers a broad selection of entertainment content including live TV, cable TV and video on demand, all facilitated by Samsung’s EPG (Electronic Program Guide) system. ‘ChatON’ is another unique feature that connects all mobile users together to group chat, share media across devices, and interact in creative new ways using pictures, drawings or figures. ‘Samsung Link’ also enables users to share content across multiple Samsung digital devices.
The Galaxy S4 Active will be available to buy in the UK this summer. It will come in three colours, Urban Grey, Dive Blue and Orange Flare.
Media guests and invited partners will be provided with hands-on product experiences of the Galaxy S4 Active at the 2013 Samsung Premiere for Galaxy & ATIV, in London, on Thursday, June 20th.
