The Samsung GALAXY S5 which started retailing in stores all around the country at 11:11 a.m. on Monday, April 11 was officially premiered on Wednesday, April 16 at a Grand Premiere event. The Premiere – the first of its kind – held at the prestigious Intercontinental Hotel, Lagos. The Premiere was a West African event and hosted delegates, hobbyists and technology aficionados from Mali, Mauritius, Senegal, Ghana, Cameroun and Ivory Coast. The Premiere was an official unveiling of the GALAXY S5, wearable – GALAXY Fit and GEAR 2 - and a display of Nigerian culture and hospitality to our West African neighbours.
Samsung Mobile Nigeria which is renowned for
orchestrating grand product launches did not let physical attendees and online
participants to the event down. The event was opened with an orchestra
performance by Ayo Bankole, complete with trumpets and bag pipes. To spice up
the evening, there were drama presentations and performances by the creative
trio of Kate Henshaw , Seyi Law and Banky W. Multi talented Nigerian
songstress, Chioma, serenaded the multicultural audience with performances in
French, English and a dance performance of Ghanaian anthem, azonto which got
everyone dancing. Seyi Law ensured a steady stream of rib cracking movements
especially with his stage props of an umbrella and rain coat. Veteran actor,
Victor Olaotan made a surprise appearance to talk about Samsung Mobile’s new
range of products. Ghanaian actress, Jocelyn Dumas was also present at the
event.
Samsung created an ethereal Experience Zone with a
treadmill, life-size representations of the number ‘5’ and an endless lineup of
smart devices and wearables. Everyone present at the event had a GALAXY S5
device to preview, there was free on-the-spot photo printing to show how the
GALAXY S5 can be paired with a Samsung Wireless Printer using Near Field
Connection or WiFi Direct to print glossy shots without physical interaction
with the printer. Guests were also able to measure accuracy of the heart rate
sensor by jumping on the treadmill and measure change in heart beats per minute
(bpm). In the midst of all these was a steady flow of chef d’ouevres, cocktails
and wine. There were also souvenirs and opportunities for photo ops with
Samsung brand ambassadors and invited celebrities.The GALAXY S5, the latest in
Samsung’s flagship and premium range, the S series, is touted to raise the
functions of today’s smartphone to the power of five with its water resistance
and dust resistance with an IP67 rating, fast camera shutter speed, new fitness
tracking features, heart rate scanner, ultra - power saving mode and GALAXY
Gifts bumper package. Highlights of this event included the unveiling of the
GALAXY Gifts package and Accidental Damage from Handling (ADH) Warranty cover.
The GALAXY Gifts offers user discounts and freebies on meals, movies, books and
music purchased via the Samsung Mobile ecosystem.
