Entering the World of 3D Gaming on the Odyssey 3D
The new Odyssey 3D (G90XF model) 27' monitor introduces a groundbreaking 3D gaming experience that does not require dedicated glasses. Advanced eye-tracking technology and a proprietary lenticular lens deliver a natural-looking high-definition 3D image, accessible through the Reality Hub app,[2] which makes the action jump out of the screen to bring new energy and immersion to games and video content.
Samsung is actively collaborating with major game developers to make the most out of this 3D technology. These collaborations include: Nexon for The First Berserker: Khazan
Neowiz for the critically acclaimed Lies of P. The company's first downloadable content (DLC), Overture, is scheduled for release this summer.
The partnering developers now have an unprecedented level of control over 3D effects, enabling them to bring their creative visions to life with precision. Samsung plans to continuously expand its partnerships with more global game studios.
In addition to 3D gaming, the Odyssey 3D features AI video conversion, which can transform video content into 3D, breathing new life into nearly all content.[3] Every scene of compatible content is analyzed and converted to 3D for consistent 3D effects with less eye strain.
The Odyssey 3D also boasts impressive gaming performance. A 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms Gray-to-Gray (GtG) response time keep gaming responsive and smooth on its 4K screen, while AMD FreeSync™ Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible reduce choppiness and screen lag, even during fast and complex gameplay.
Edge Lighting takes 3D immersion to the next level by filling the gaming environment with lighting that adapts to games. It fills the space under the monitor with colors that synchronize with the screen's lighting, enhancing the 3D screen and bringing game environments into real life.
Odyssey OLED G8 Features Highest Pixel Density on a 27'' Screen
The unmatched picture quality of OLED gets a performance boost on the new Odyssey OLED G8(G81SF model). Available in 27' and 32' models, the 27' has 166 pixels-per-inch — the industry's highest pixel density for a screen that size — and the industry's first 4K monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate. Both sizes of the OLED G8 bring groundbreaking performance and visual quality together.
The new 4K QD-OLED visuals deliver amazing details, with enhanced colors and contrast ratio from any viewing angle thanks to quantum dot technology. Boosted by VESA DisplayHDR™ TrueBlack 400, it delivers near-infinite contrast that makes vibrant colors pop, even at the high, typically 250nit brightness. Glare Free technology certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) allows the screen to produce less reflection, reducing distractions during use.
The screen's image is protected by Samsung OLED Safeguard+. The proprietary Dynamic Cooling System uses the industry-first Pulsating Heat Pipe to diffuse heat five times better than standard graphite sheets, without adjusting brightness. This protects the screen from burn-in, prolonging the life of the screen.
The 240Hz refresh rate and .03ms GtG response time make the Odyssey OLED G8 a top performance gaming monitor, with fast and smooth screen movements. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible to prevent stuttering, tearing and jittering. These performance features combine to make gaming ultra smooth, responsive and immersive.
The Odyssey OLED G8 also makes a stylish addition to any gaming setup. The slim metal design fits any aesthetic, while Core Lighting+ surrounds the user with lighting based on the screen. And it's all easy to set up, thanks to the ergonomic stand.
Odyssey G9 Allows More Gamers To Experience Curved Ultrawide Gaming
The Odyssey G9 (G91F model) brings ultrawide gaming to more people with a simplified approach that does not sacrifice performance. Its 49'' Dual QHD display features a 1000R curve, wrapping high-quality visuals and exciting gameplay around the user.
A 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time keep gameplay responsive and quick, while AMD FreeSync Premium Pro allows the action to flow without tearing or stuttering. The VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification brings colors to vivid life with clarity, while HDR10+ GAMING enhances the screen with optimized brightness, contrast and color range for a dynamic picture.
The Odyssey G9 also delivers exceptional multitasking ability, with Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture features. With these, two different devices can be viewed at the same time, with flexible size options available in Picture-in-Picture mode. The Odyssey G9 also helps users get to games faster with the Auto Source Switch+, which detects connected devices and automatically displays them when they are turned on.
ViewFinity S8 Encapsulates Comfort and Efficiency
In addition to the 2025 gaming monitors, Samsung is launching the 37' ViewFinity S8 (S80UD model), the largest 16:9 4K Samsung monitor to date. With a screen approximately 34% larger than the previous model, the ViewFinity S8 maximizes productivity and efficiency on its 4K screen. HDR10 and the ability to accurately portray 1 billion colors give professionals the tools to do their jobs effectively and efficiently.
The ViewFinity S8 is designed for comfort and efficiency. Its ergonomic design is certified by TÜV Rheinland as an Ergonomic Workspace Display, and its Intelligent Eye Care is TÜV-certified for reducing strain on users' eyes.[4] Devices can be connected to use for work through a 90W USB-C connection, and multiple inputs can be controlled on the monitor with a keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch, making it easy to connect work and leisure devices to the multipurpose monitor.

Egyptian Trade With the African Union Reached USD 9.8 Billion in 2024
Petroleum products, fertilisers and chemicals led Egypt's exports to AU members in 2024, while imports focused on machinery, food products and building materials. Jul 15, 2025 In 2024, Egypt's trade volume with African Union member states reached USD 9.8 billion, underscoring Cairo's commitment to increased continental trade under frameworks like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Key exports included petroleum products, fertilisers and chemicals, complementing imports such as machinery, food items and building materials. Agriculture and construction sectors serve as driving forces, with growing interest in infrastructure and energy projects across African partners. Officials from Egypt's trade and industry ministries have described the figures as part of a broader ambition to diversify export channels and reduce reliance on traditional European and US trade routes. The momentum is supported by improved trade facilitation, reduced tariff barriers, and renewed government attention to export competitiveness. While challenges remain - including logistics, financing and regulatory alignment - current data suggest these ties are strengthening, positioning Egypt as a rising hub for intra-African trade.

RTA Awards AED 633 Million Contract to Redesign Al Mustaqbal Street
The revamped road will serve half a million daily users, adding tunnels, bridges and public spaces, while cutting commute times by more than 50% in one of the city's busiest zones. Jul 14, 2025 Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority has awarded a AED 633 million (USD 172 million) contract to upgrade Al Mustaqbal Street, a vital corridor linking Zabeel Palace Street and Financial Centre Street, as part of its wider Trade Centre Roundabout masterplan. The project includes three new tunnels designed to handle up to 9,000 vehicles per hour, a 450 m two-lane bridge connecting the World Trade Centre area, and the widening of Al Mustaqbal Street from three to four lanes each way over 3.5 km. Once completed, the renovations will increase traffic capacity from 6,600 to 8,800 vehicles per hour and reduce average travel times from about 13 minutes to six minutes. It also introduces pedestrian-friendly improvements, such as upgraded walkways, dedicated cycling lanes, enhanced lighting, and expanded public spaces. The scheme is part of the broader effort to improve access around the Dubai World Trade Centre, Downtown Dubai, Zabeel, and Business Bay - regions that host hundreds of thousands of commuters and visitors. Around 500,000 people are expected to benefit directly from smoother, faster routes and safer multimodal transport options. Dubai continues to invest heavily in transport infrastructure, with nearly half of its AED 86.3 billion 2025 budget earmarked for roads, bridges, and transit systems, part of a broader infrastructure push totalling AED 272 billion from 2025 to 2027. This comes as the emirate's population nears 4 million, with plans to reach 5.8 million by 2040.
