◆Untact Era Online Live Show and Fan Meeting Held… Featuring Kwanghee

SK Telecom recently differentiated its ultra-high-definition group video call MeetUs service to suit the design characteristics of the new foldable smartphones, in response to the increasing demand for non-face-to-face meetings and classes. When using MeetUs for group video calls on the Z Fold2 5G or Z Flip 5G, folding the smartphone and placing it on a table switches it to Flex Mode.

Customers who find it difficult to visit stores can apply for the ‘Premium Delivery’ service at T Direct Shop, where a smartphone specialist manager visits the desired time and place to provide comprehensive services such as activation, data transfer, and used phone compensation. However, to comply with social distancing, the data transfer service is temporarily available only upon customer request and under safety guidelines.

Considering the untact era, SK Telecom also prepared an online live show and fan meeting.

On the 10th at 8 PM, an online live show ‘Galaxy Z-LIVE with T Direct Shop’ introducing the pre-order purchase benefits of the Galaxy ‘Z Fold2 5G’ and ‘Z Flip 5G’ will be broadcast on the YouTube channel with broadcaster ‘Kwanghee.’ Among customers who purchase the ‘Z Fold2 5G’ and ‘Z Flip 5G’ on T Direct Shop during the pre-order period, those who apply will have a virtual fan meeting with Kwanghee. The fan meeting will be held on October 7 using the group video call MeetUs.

Moon Gap-in, head of SK Telecom’s Smart Device Division, said, “To coincide with the pre-order sales of Samsung Electronics’ new foldables, Galaxy Z Fold2 5G and Z Flip 5G, we prepared purchase benefits that are practically helpful to customers, and also prepared untact-centered services and events such as ‘MeetUs’ and the ‘Galaxy Z-LIVE’ online live show.”
