As Samsung’s motto “Do what you can’t” suggests, the brief was to come up with a bigger, better way to showcase this vision and get instant visibility on ground.

There was no better way to celebrate 10 years of the S series than to create the biggest ‘S10’ at the world’s biggest mall in the Olympic-size Dubai Ice Rink.

Each element of the ‘S10’ (S, 1 and 0) were designed as interactive displays cum experiential zones. The 3-day event truly established the Galaxy S10 as the Next Generation Smartphone to the targeted audience within the mall and on social media as a huge PR stunt.
