77 statuetek i dwa złote medale. Samsung z imponującym wynikiem na iF Design Awards 2026

Międzynarodowy konkurs iF Design Awards to jeden z najważniejszych sprawdzianów dla projektantów elektroniki użytkowej. W tegorocznej edycji Samsung udowodnił, że w kwestii wzornictwa przemysłowego nie zamierza zwalniać tempa.

Koreański producent wraca z Niemiec z imponującą pulą 77 wyróżnień, z czego dwa najważniejsze, złote laury, przyznano za nowy sprzęt audio oraz koncepcję ekologicznego projektowania.

Spośród kilkudziesięciu nagrodzonych produktów i usług firmy – obejmujących telewizory, sprzęt gospodarstwa domowego oraz smartfony – na szczególne uznanie międzynarodowego jury zasłużyły dwa projekty, które uhonorowano najwyższym odznaczeniem, czyli Złotą Nagrodą.

Pierwsza z nich trafiła do głośnika Samsung Music Studio 5. Druga z kolei nie dotyczy pojedynczego urządzenia, a szerszej filozofii producenta – złoto przyznano za koncepcję „Sustainable Design Identity”, która definiuje zrównoważone i ekologiczne podejście do projektowania akcesoriów dla sprzętu AGD.

Oprogramowanie i smart home w cenie

Współczesne wzornictwo to jednak nie tylko fizyczne obudowy, ale również interfejsy i oprogramowanie. Wśród projektów nagrodzonych przez ekspertów w Niemczech znalazła się nowa nakładka systemowa na smartfony – One UI 7. Jurorzy docenili w niej wdrożenie ulepszeń opartych na sztucznej inteligencji, odważną zmianę stylu wizualnego oraz zwiększenie poziomu personalizacji i kontroli nad urządzeniem przez użytkownika.

Wyróżnienie otrzymała także usługa inteligentnego domu – Home Insight. To funkcja, która na bieżąco analizuje stan domowych sprzętów oraz wzorce ich użytkowania. Zebrane w ten sposób dane pozwalają systemowi na rekomendowanie użytkownikom zoptymalizowanych i w pełni spersonalizowanych rozwiązań w zakresie zarządzania domową elektroniką.

Ponad 70 lat historii konkursu

Plebiscyt iF Design Awards to nagroda z ogromnymi tradycjami. Organizacja została założona w 1953 roku pod nazwą „Die Gute Industrieform eV”. Obecnie ocenia projekty w dziewięciu głównych dyscyplinach (m.in. projektowanie produktów, opakowań, komunikacji, architektura wnętrz czy interfejsy i doświadczenia użytkownika – UI/UX).

Jury zwraca szczególną uwagę nie tylko na samą estetykę, ale przede wszystkim na wpływ zgłoszonych projektów na jakość życia i ich potencjał do wprowadzania realnych zmian. Zdobycie 77 statuetek w tak przekrojowym plebiscycie to jasny sygnał, w jakim kierunku zmierza obecnie rozwój koreańskiej marki.

Exclusive: Screen off animation broken after the September patch for the Galaxy Tab S8

Recently, Samsung has pushed the security patch for the Galaxy Tab S8 series that allowed the tablet to be updated to the September 2025 security patch (build DYI1), according to the quarterly security update schedule for the tablet. It is built on top of One UI 7 with Android 15 as the base system.

While evaluating the version, we’ve noticed an odd bug where the screen off animation wouldn’t play when either the screen turns off by itself or you turn it off by pressing the side button. This bug didn’t exist in the July security patch (build DYF4). However, it didn’t impact the functionality of the tablet; applications open very fast and everything works perfectly in One UI 7.

You can see the bug in action in a video we posted here:

https://twitter.com/OfficialAptivi/status/1975608523569709539

As we are just a few days away from the rollout of the One UI 8 update for the Galaxy Tab S8, we hope that this bug gets fixed in the update that is being worked on right now. According to Güncel Miyiz, the tablet should receive the update globally on the 16th of October, with the Korean release date being earlier according to recent rollout logs.

To obtain the update, follow these steps:

This security update should take 5 to 10 minutes maximum to install once your phone reboots. Make sure that you have the phone charged fully before initiating the update process to avoid interruptions. Back up your data to your PC, the cloud, or any other device in case the update went wrong. Don’t interrupt the update process, or you’ll experience problems later. To mitigate green line issues caused by heat, do the update on a well-ventilated room.
