Sustainable development has long been the focus of attention of the international community. As an important subject in the practice of sustainable development, enterprises need to actively participate in environmental protection construction. As a responsible technology company, Samsung has been creating a better smart life experience for people and improving environmental issues through innovative technology. The Samsung Galaxy S23 series of flagship smartphones released in February this year , under the premise of ensuring user experience upgrades such as performance and images, injected the concept of sustainable development into product design to further reduce the impact on the environment.
In the initial design stage, Samsung took into account the needs of sustainable development, and solved the problem of resource waste from the source by increasing the durability of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. For example, the Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 glass first launched by the Samsung Galaxy S23 series is not only stronger and more durable, but also contains 22% pre-consumer recycled glass. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series also promises to provide four generations of operating system upgrades and five years of security updates, allowing users to enjoy a longer high-quality experience.
Backed by technological advantages, Samsung has been committed to developing recycled materials and applying them to its products. The Samsung Galaxy S22 series launched last year used marine plastic recycled materials for the first time, becoming an important milestone in the sustainable development of smart devices. The durable material is made from discarded fishing nets by Samsung in collaboration with industry experts. The manufacturing process not only reduces marine debris, but also achieves lower carbon emissions than traditional materials.
The types of recyclable materials used in the Samsung Galaxy S23 series are more abundant, and new pre-consumer recycled materials such as recyclable aluminum and recycled glass have been added. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in the series uses components of recycled materials, which has also increased from 6 to 12 in the previous generation. By the end of 2023, the marine plastic recycling materials used in the Galaxy S23 series are expected to prevent more than 15 tons of discarded fishing nets from entering the world’s oceans and achieve better protection of the environment.
In terms of product packaging, Samsung has been continuously reducing the use of plastic in mobile phone packaging design in recent years. Today’s Samsung Galaxy S23 series uses 100% recycled paper to design the packaging box to ensure the sustainability of resources. Based on multiple initiatives in environmental protection, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series has obtained UL ECOLOGO® certification.
While practicing the concept of sustainability, the design of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series also takes into account the fashion needs of users through the ultimate pursuit of details and focus on Seiko. This series continues Samsung’s long-standing “authentic design” concept, draws inspiration from trends, uses a minimalist design style to eliminate redundant elements, and interprets modern aesthetics. At the same time, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series has upgraded the classic “one-piece” design gene of the Galaxy S series to a new level through extremely difficult innovative processes, thus creating an eye-catching appearance design.
The overall body of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series presents smooth curves and attractive curved corners. The rear camera module is seamlessly connected with the body, presenting a sense of suspension, which is highly recognizable. The streamlined design also provides users with a comfortable grip. The Samsung Galaxy S23 series highlights the current fashion trend, and its simple and exquisite design can be called a masterpiece of mobile phone technology aesthetics.
Color is also an important component of fashion. The four colors of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series-Youye Green, Yourou White, Youfu Purple and Youyuan Black are inspired by nature. These color schemes are not only beautiful, but also an echo of environmental protection and sustainable development. Youye Green represents the calm forest, Youyuan Black represents the tranquil force of nature, Youyou White makes people feel warm and comfortable, and the mysterious Yuwu Purple captures the vitality of daily life.
The sustainable design concept of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series not only reflects innovation in technology and design, but also echoes people’s pursuit of environmental protection and sustainable development. Regardless of the interior, exterior, or packaging of the fuselage, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series adheres to the environmental protection concept of sustainable development.
