The partnership will see Samsung's globally recognized Samsung Innovation Campus program become an integral part of the UAE Artificial Intelligence Camp — the region's largest gathering of AI events, workshops, and hackathons — and for the second year in a row, the program aims to enrich participants' knowledge in various areas, most notably the fundamentals of artificial intelligence. Dr. Abdelrahman Al Mahmoud, Director at the UAE Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications Office, affirmed that the UAE Government is committed to sustaining its partnerships with leading global technology companies, while continuing to enhance the exchange of best practices, expertise, and knowledge, as well as launching and implementing joint educational and knowledge-based programs. These efforts contribute to achieving the UAE's visions in the field of artificial intelligence. He added that embedding the Samsung Innovation Campus within the UAE Artificial Intelligence Camp provides participants with access to diverse, world-class learning opportunities, and reflects the UAE Government's efforts to develop the capabilities of the new generation of innovators and experts in artificial intelligence, strengthening their contributions and role in shaping the future.

Vivo V60 to go on sale on August 22 in UAE: Is it worth Dh1,849?
The Vivo V60 lands in the UAE on August 22, 2025, with a price tag of Dh1,849 for 256GB and Dh1,999 for 512GB. Although pre-orders are currently available. The new device by Chinese tech giants positions itself as a mid-range phone with flagship aspirations, boasting a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, 6,500mAh battery, and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 performance. But does it live up to the buzz? We spent a few days testing it out in Dubai, and here's what we found. Design & display Vivo has gone all-in on aesthetics. The quad-curved, almost bezel-free design gives the V60 a premium feel in hand, and the Diamond Shield Glass promises durability. The 6.77-inch AMOLED display is a joy for media consumption. With 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and up to 5,000 nits peak brightness, outdoor readability under the sun is great. That said, the quad-curved edges can sometimes trigger accidental touches, and the fingerprint sensor, embedded under the display, can feel a tad slow compared to some competitors. Camera Vivo's collaboration with ZEISS is the highlight. The 50MP periscope telephoto lens (the only one in this price range) is genuinely impressive as the optical zoom works smoothly, and portraits have noticeable depth. Features like ZEISS Stage Style Portrait and Multifocal Portrait make creative photography accessible. The AI editing suite – AI Erase 3.0, Magic Move, Image Expander – is fun and works surprisingly well, though overuse can make images feel artificial. The front 50MP wide-angle camera captures detailed selfies, even under low light. Where it stumbles is video stabilisation. While still decent, competitors in this segment, handle shaky clips more reliably. Performance & battery Under the hood, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 paired with up to 12+12GB RAM delivers smooth day-to-day performance. Apps, multitasking, and mid-to-heavy gaming run without major hiccups. PUBG and Genshin Impact run at high settings, though extended sessions can warm the phone noticeably. The 6,500mAh BlueVolt battery is a standout. We comfortably got through a day and a half on moderate use. 90W FlashCharge is genuinely fast – a 30-minute top-up gets you over 60 per cent battery. AI Today, artificial intelligence is everywhere. Keeping that in mind, Vivo isn't just pitching this as a photography phone alone. It incorporates AI features like Smart Call Assistant (real-time translations), Meeting Summary, and AI SuperLink, making the device useful for professionals and not lacking. So, is it worth the price tag? In all fairness, a mid-range is required to get the job done. That, Vivo V60 does. But it is also ambitious; its photography capabilities and battery life make it worth checking out. However, there are trade-offs: video stabilisation isn't best-in-class, and some of the AI photography tools could feel gimmicky rather than essential. If your priority is a stylish phone with a capable camera, long battery life, and flagship-style features at mid-range pricing, the V60 definitely deserves a look. At Dh1,849–1,999, it competes well with its competitors in the similar price range, but you'll need to weigh whether the ZEISS-branded photography and other standout features justify the price over similarly specced alternatives. Available in Desert Gold, Mist Gray, and Berry Purple (exclusive on Noon) for Dh1,849 (256GB) and Dh1,999 (512GB). While pre-orders are currently underway, the device goes on sale on August 22 in the UAE.
