Welcome to our
July edition.
Despite no British Wimbledon champ and having
now made peace with the fact that football really
isn’t coming home… we still have so much to be
excited about in our latest issue of Sync.
First up are the latest Galaxy goodies from
our friends at Samsung, who recently unveiled
a whole host of innovation with new foldables,
watches and buds, as well as their first entry
into the connected jewellery space with the
Galaxy Ring.
Enable your customers to discover a new world
of productivity, thanks to Galaxy AI on the new
Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6.

Next up, we have a short write up from our
Android for Business event, held at the funky
Google HQ in London. With a strong hint of AI
running through the day, our supporting brand
partners and expert panel delivered much
thought provoking content.
Now keep a look out for details of our next
Mobile Solutions event, being held at the
Radisson Blu Heathrow Hotel & Conference
Centre on the 26th September.
We have also onboarded Closing the Loop
who offer a dynamic electronic waste reduction
solution and Crosscall, a French manufacturer
with a focused range of smartphones designed
for more extreme conditions.
And finally, we are now live with a new range
of our Own Brand folio, rugged and military cases
for Microsoft Surface and Apple iPad products.
We did say there was still plenty to remain
excited about!
Enjoy.

SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD6 | Z FLIP6
Discover a new world
of productivity, thanks
to Galaxy AI.
If your customers are hungry to take their
businesses to the next level, but are feeling
that the burden of admin is holding them
back – then, this is the phone for them.
They’ll get valuable help from a suite of AIenabled
business apps that fit right in their
pockets. They’ll also experience enhanced
AI business search with Circle to Search
with Google 1 . And with Browsing Assist 2 get
concise summaries in an instant of industry
news and reports all at their fingertips.
It’s optimised for the unique features
and multitasking productivity of Samsung
Foldables. And work on all their most
powerful business apps – specially
optimised for the multi-screen capability
of Samsung Foldables.
Galaxy AI will capture, summarise, organise
and translate their thoughts, meeting notes
and action points with Note Assist 2 . All
while they’re reading reports, joining calls
or reviewing documents. And they’ll get the
very best from their business apps using the
unique Galaxy AI multi-screen experience.

Tablets for business.
Big screens for productivity
Large displays with great processing power. Meet the
business-ready tablets designed to maximise productivity.
From field to factory
Toughened to withstand extremes from the field to
the factory floor, rugged range devices are IP68 1 rated
and meet MIL-STD 810G 2 requirements, providing
resistance to water, dust and shocks. Ultra-bright
displays make sure essential plans, spreadsheets
and contracts are easy to read in any condition.
And sensitive screens mean productivity doesn’t drop
off when protective gloves are on. The long-lasting
battery copes with even the most demanding days,
and Samsung DeX connectivity syncs seamlessly
with desktops when back in the office.
1. IP68 rating: Water resistant in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes.
2. When tested on a flat surface, without its protective casing, it can withstand a drop of up to 1 metre. Drop test results meet MIL STD 810G standard. Real world
usage varies from the specific environmental conditions used in MIL-STD-810G testing. Samsung does not guarantee device performance in all extreme conditions.
In the classroom
With a wide range of price points, integrating
cutting-edge tools into each classroom is
more possible than ever. Defence-grade Knox
Suite hands teachers full control over device
functionality and app access. Enrolling
and managing an entire school’s fleet is
child’s play. And to guard against inevitable
drops and spillages, Samsung Tablets are
built to the highest standards, with quality
products backed by Samsung’s Global
Coverage Service.

In the office
Arm your customers with Samsung
tablets and watch their productivity rocket.
Dedicated keyboards and the Samsung
S-Pen combined with DeX connectivity turns
ultra-light tablets into intuitive, large-screen
business workstations. Your customers
will be able to present from their tablet to
the big screen, or transform hand-scribbled
notes into instantly sharable documents.
When a single tablet becomes their go-to
device, flexible working in and out of the
office reaches new levels of ease. And
because Samsung Knox keeps their sensitive
documents secure wherever they are, they
have all their information all in one place. No
more between-device data transfer hiccups.

Protective Cases
& Screen Protectors
Protective Rugged Cases
Our heavy-duty polycarbonate cases offer
great device protection. A soft silicone
rubber gel cushions impacts and provides a
comfortable grip. A PET film protects tablet
displays from dirt and other contaminants.
Protective Folio Cases
Keep your customer’s tablet safe from
knocks and scratches with our tablet folio
case. A soft protective lining, keeps their
device in perfect condition for longer, and
protects their device whilst on-the-go.
Screen Protectors
Tempered glass screen protectors are a great
way to protect the screen of your customer’s
smart device from smudges, dust, and
scratches caused by fingerprints.

New strategic UK partnership
by Data Select and Crosscall
is announced.
Crosscall joins our Android smartphone line up, and as
specialists in mobile technology for outdoor environments,
offers our B2B resellers something different.
With high-performance devices and a 5-year warranty, all enhanced
by complementary products and bespoke solutions, their range is ideal for
corporate resellers. The repairability of their device portfolio is also key to
extending the device’s life and sits alongside our focus on sustainability.
About Crosscall
For 15 years, French manufacturer Crosscall, has been
designing ultra-resistant smartphones for professionals
working in difficult conditions. The brand stands out in the
mobile sector with its smartphones that come with a 5-year
warranty, including battery. A sustainable and responsible
approach that enables companies to reduce the frequency of
replacement of their devices and cut costs.
In addition to sustainability, they place technological
innovation at the heart of their product design. Their
latest model, the STELLAR-X5, incorporates an AI noise
reduction solution, offering optimal communication
even in noisy environments.
18

Best MCX Device of the Year
As specialists in business and mission-critical
communications, Crosscall has also developed a
range of smartphones designed for more extreme
conditions that frontline workers and the emergency
services may face. This expertise earned them
the ‘Best MCX Device of the Year’ award for its
CORE-Z5 smartphone at Critical Communication
World earlier this year.
In France, Crosscall terminals are already used by
some of the country’s most important companies
and institutions, including the Ministry of the Interior,
SNCF (the French state-owned railway company)
and Leroy Merlin, the specialist home retailer.

Do your customers use
Microsoft Intune for their
device management?
We can help your customer maintain security
and OS upgrades for their fleet of mobile devices
with Samsung Knox E-FOTA.
OS upgrades are hugely important for maintaining security updates and meeting
cyber essentials requirements. But this needs to seamlessly align with important
business apps that are used for everyday business.
Knox E-FOTA can help IT departments manage these
OS upgrades alongside their Intune deployment.
This is especially important where the customer is using their own apps to complete
important business tasks. IT teams can prevent any upgrades being issued to the
fleet, after full testing has been undertaken with business apps, and upgrades then
being pushed over-the-air to each device at a time that suits their business.
This ensures ongoing, managed security
with no loss of downtime.
Importantly, Knox E-FOTA can be purchased and enrolled, in-life, alongside Intune
deployments to Samsung devices in the field, without each device needing to be reset.
Knox E-FOTA can be purchased as a standalone SKU or as part of Knox Suite.

USER CASE
A field delivery company with 1,300 delivery drivers, use an app to send collection
and delivery jobs.
A new version of an OS becomes available and all users in the fleet need to agree to
activate. Some do this and some don’t, so their app doesn’t work properly with the new OS,
which causes downtime and a loss to the business.

Samsung Lunch and Learn events.
We recently held a series of lunch and learn events as an opportunity to discuss the latest
Samsung B2B portfolio, gain insight, and build on relationships with our key reseller partners.
Solent motor yacht trip to ‘The Hut’
The first event saw our guests join us for a breakfast meeting at
the beautiful Southampton Harbour hotel, before stepping aboard
the luxury motor yacht ‘Bellarina’ for a trip to the Isle of Wight,
enjoying panoramic views of the Solent on route. Upon arrival,
guests were collected by tender and taken to ‘The Hut’ to enjoy
a wonderful Surf & Turf lunch, followed by a relaxed afternoon of
champagne at one of the UK’s most iconic restaurants.
22

Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons
Our second event was hosted at the award-winning Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in
Oxfordshire, created and celebrated by Raymond Blanc. Guests arrived to breakfast
served in the elegant La Belle Epoque, overlooking the stunning venue’s grounds.
Shortly after, the team headed to the world-famous Le Manoir Raymond Blanc kitchen
to marvel at the cookery demonstration, a culmination of recipes that inspired Raymond’s
journey to becoming a Michelin-star chef.
Upon returning to La Belle Epoque, the team indulged in a beautiful 5-course lunch with
wine pairing and an opportunity to discuss the Samsung plans for the remainder of the year.
The afternoon allowed for exploration of the gorgeous hotel grounds with a garden tour and
a chance to meet the resident birds of prey.
Thank you to our partners for joining us at both events. We look forward to continuing the
productive conversations and the opportunity to host more of you at our future events.
