Samsung Electronics announced a collaboration with the National Gallery Singapore that will bring a curated selection of prominent artworks from the museum to customers’ “The Frame” TV via the Samsung Art Store.

10 artworks from Singapore’s leading visual arts institution will be made available via the Samsung Art Store. This expands the lifestyle TV’s collection of over 1,600 artworks from 54 global partners.

The Frame allows consumers to enjoy high-resolution masterpieces from museums and galleries worldwide right in front of their screens.

The growing list of museums include the following:

  • Louvre Museum in France
  • Albertina Museum in Vienna
  • Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam
  • Leeum Museum of Art in South Korea

Rich Southeast Asian art heritage

With the collaboration, Samsung will offer all The Frame owners a peek into Singapore and Southeast Asian art.

The region’s diverse cultures are reflected in the wide range of artworks for users to enjoy.

The selection includes works by prominent artists, including Market Place by Chen Chong Swee, Boschbrand (Forest Fire) by Raden Saleh, Jetty at Sinde by U Ba Nyan, Singapore Waterfront by Georgette Chen, Barber by Ong Kim Seng, and more. 

There are also plans to expand the collection for The Frame users in the future.

Elevate your TV experience

The Frame is part of Samsung’s Lifestyle TV lineup, designed to deliver both exceptional visual quality and elevate living environments as it features Samsung’s Quantum Dot technology and Quantum Processor 4K.

The TV has a customizable bezel design with a slim 24.9mm profile. The new model will come with a Matte Display which further eliminates glare.

Users can also choose to mount the TV on its Simple Stand or Studio Stand to complement spaces at home.

The Frame will feature an updated Art Store with a simpler and easier-to-navigate interface, plus a greater selection of artworks around the globe.

For those who want to display pictures with loved ones or relive personal memories, The Frame also has a My Photo feature for that, using smartphones or USB flash drives.

Nissan launches Note e-Power in Singapore

Start your journey on the right note

Nissan Note E Power

In 2020, Nissan unveiled the Kicks e-Power, which the car manufacturer touted as not just one’s conventional hybrid vehicle. Four years after, Nissan is back with a new fully electric motor-driven offering released in Singapore: the Nissan Note e-Power.

The successor to Kicks e-Power, the Note e-Power also harnesses Nissan’s second generation e-Power technology. The electrified hatchback uses fuel to power its electric motor. This motor then drives the car for a smoother, quieter, and more efficient run each time, minus the need for charging.

Price, availability

The Note e-Power dons a simplistic Japanese hatchback look with a more curved roof compared to typical SUV designs. This is accentuated by a signature V grille and slim-line headlights.

The car is available in Vivid Blue/Black Star (two-tone), Opera Mauve/Black Star (two-tone), Brilliant Silver, Dark Metal Grey, and Burgundy Red. It is available for booking starting at SG$ 143,800 until 12 noon of April 3.

Customers shall also get a 10-year lithium-ion battery warranty and five-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty.

Enhanced safety features

The Note e-Power comes packed with enhanced safety features. For the first time on a Nissan vehicle, a 1,470 MPa ultra-high tensile steel has been adopted in the vehicle chassis. This contributes to weight reduction and improved passive safety performance.

To aid drivers throughout their rides, the car also comes with intelligent systems, such as:

  • Intelligent Emergency Braking
  • Intelligent Lane Intervention
  • Intelligent Rearview Mirror
  • Intelligent Trace Control
  • Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
  • Intelligent Driver Alertness
  • High Beam Assist
  • Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold

When parking, the system on dashboard shows the vehicle’s distance to an obstacle by green, yellow, and red indicators. Should they forget locking and unlocking, the car also automatically locks when the driver walks away, and unlocks when the driver approaches.

Futuristic interior

Inside, the Note e-Power has a Mizuhiki-themed dashboard for a modern and elegant appearance. On the driver side, there is a seven-inch display interface, an LCD monitor, and a USB Type C port. There is also a two-tier glovebox on the passenger side for ample storage.

In the middle, the gearshift sports a futuristic design that looks more like a mix of a jet plane’s center stick and a computer’s mouse, rather than a traditional knob. Furthermore, there is enough space to place a phone or wallet beside the gearshift.

The seats offer large armrests and plenty of leg room. At the back, the car has a spacious boot that can be expanded up to 670 liters when the rear seats are folded down.
