First Look at Samsung’s Next Galaxy AI Phone at These Singapore Unpacked Events

Hi Huneybees,

If you’re the kind who loves getting a first look at the newest tech, here’s a quick heads-up worth bookmarking. Samsung is bringing the excitement of its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked 2026 a little closer to home with two pop-up experiences in Singapore — and yes, there are freebies involved!

A Midday Tech Break at Raffles Place

Working around the CBD? The Unpacked @ Raffles pop-up is popping up for one day only at VIBE Bistro in One Raffles Place. Visitors can explore the upcoming Galaxy AI Phone through interactive experience zones designed to show how AI can make everyday work and life a little smarter (and a lot easier).

Even better, complete at least two experience zones and sign up for the mailing list to redeem a free CHAGEE drink and a $10 VIBE Bistro voucher, which a pretty sweet lunch break upgrade if you ask me. Redemptions are limited to the first 300 visitors, so early birds definitely get the tea.

📍 Location: VIBE Bistro @ One Raffles Place
🕛 Time: 8.00am – 2.00pm
🚇 Nearest MRT: Raffles Place

There’s also a second way to snag a CHAGEE drink... simply comment on a @samsungsg Instagram post with #GalaxyUnpacked and follow @samsungsg and @chagee.sg to redeem a drink voucher via the CHAGEE app (also limited to the first 300 redemptions).

After-Work Galaxy Unpacked Night at VivoCity

Not in the CBD during the day? No worries. Samsung is also hosting Galaxy Unpacked Night at the Samsung Experience Store in VivoCity, where visitors can get hands-on with the new AI Phone in real-life scenarios.

Expect interactive demo zones, exclusive device deals, fun photo spots and even limited-edition personalised Galaxy charms. Think of it as a casual after-work tech hangout with a little extra sparkle.

📍 Location: Samsung Experience Store @ VivoCity
🕛 Event begins: 7.00pm
🚇 Nearest MRT: HarbourFront

Bonus Perks for Early Birds

If you’re planning to upgrade your phone soon, it’s also worth pre-registering your interest ahead of the launch. Samsung is offering some tempting perks, including:

• S$38 e-voucher off your next Galaxy purchase

• S$88 FairPrice e-vouchers for 288 lucky winners

• A Galaxy Everyday Pro Set (Galaxy Buds + Galaxy Watch Ultra) for three winners

Between the tech previews, freebies and the chance to experience the next generation of Galaxy AI before everyone else, it’s a fun little stop for both gadget lovers and the tech-curious. And honestly… any event that comes with milk tea gets a thumbs up from me. 😉

Let's Lepak at Mount Faber !!!

Hi Huneybees,

Last Saturday, 6 August 2016, I spent an amazing time up on Mount Faber for the inaugural edition of 'Let's Lepak at Mount Faber'. 

*'Lepak' means loafing around in Malay, our Singlish version for 'chillax'.

Organised by Mount Faber Leisure Group through the ‘Streets for People’ initiative, and supported by NParks, ‘Let’s Lepak at Mount Faber’ is aligned towards Singapore’s push to become a “car-lite” city. This first edition is also curated by partners ActiveSG and LopeLab, the event was also part of the GetActive! Singapore campaign, and showcased activities relating to the theme of Sports and Wellness, coupled with music and art elements.

The car-free zone is created along Mount Faber Loop’s 800m stretch of road, from Mount Faber Park Car Park D (near Danish Seamen’s Church) to the junction near Faber Bistro.  The main road going up to Mount Faber from Kampong Bahru Road will remain open. Public car parks A, B, C and D will also remain open.

Mount Faber Loop is a 3-minute walk from Faber Peak. Alternatively, the public can take a scenic walk across Henderson Waves to Mount Faber Loop.

Ms. Low Yen Ling, Mayor of South West District was the Guest-of-Honour and she kicked-off the event by participating in the new GetActive! Singapore workout. Lots of families brought their friends and families along to join in the workout, take in the fresh air, amidst the music and activities. 

Other than the workout, there was recycled crafts workshop and also local traditional games to play with. It was a nice interaction session for the older generations to show how the games are played, keeping our attention away from Pokémon GO for a while.

Artwork by Colours In Motion, combining art painting with dance.

It was an afternoon full of laughter and fun. After the event, I even went on a little walk around Mount Faber to take in the scenic views and for those who wana venture more, the Henderson Waves Bridge is round the bend and that will take you to Hort Park too! It makes such a great workout session and perhaps Pokémon hunting session.

I'm definitely looking forward to the next edition, wonder what they will be planning...

‘Let’s Lepak at Mount Faber’ is on trial for three months and the next instalment will be on 3 September and the final event on 1 October.

If you are interested in joining in the next installment, you can opt to ‘fly’ to the park in the Singapore Cable Car, from Harbourfront MRT to the cable car station at Harbourfront Tower 2, for the cable car ride to Mount Faber Station located in Faber Peak. 

Of course, other than going for the 'Let's Lepak at Mount Faber', there's also tons of other happenings up on Mount Faber. There are dining destinations like Spuds & Aprons, Faber Bistro or even dine within the cable car for a romantic evening; or, go ring the giant Bell of Happiness, buy and hang a pair of wishing bells for blessings!

Also, the Cable Car Sky Network has expanded to included the new Sentosa Line that travels to 3 major attraction clusters across Sentosa, so that you can access Fort Siloso, Singapore Cable Car Museum, Madam Tussauds, Skyline Luge Sentosa, The Merlion, etc, at ease, whilst enjoying the above-it-all scenic views.

With this seamless connection, you are just one cable car Sky Pass away from enjoying both Faber Peak Singapore and Sentosa! If you frequently visit these places, maybe you can consider the Faber licence too!

You can get double the benefits and privileges across 2 fabulous destinations from just $0.10 a day! With the Faber Licence annual membership, you get to enjoy unlimited joyrides and exclusive privileges for dining and shopping at Faber Peak Singapore. You can also double the treat with unlimited access to Sentosa for more island fun. Individual memberships are $39 per year and family memberships are $135 per year for up to four family members!

For more information, go to www.faberpeaksingapore.com. 

See you there!
