Samsung Electronics announced the China launch of the 'Galaxy Note8' on September 13 at the 798 Art District in Beijing, China, with approximately 900 attendees including local distributors, media, and partners.

During the keynote speech on that day, Ko Dong-jin, President of Samsung Electronics' Mobile Business Division, stated "China is the most important market" and said "Based on Samsung Electronics' technological capabilities and product competitiveness, we will continuously make efforts to earn greater trust and affection from Chinese consumers."

Samsung Electronics announced that it will establish a strategic partnership with 'WeChat Pay' in connection with the China launch of the 'Galaxy Note8' and expand its presence in the Chinese mobile payment market.

Following Alipay, Samsung has partnered with both of China's major payment services, enabling Galaxy Note8 users to easily use mobile payment services at most merchants throughout China.

Additionally, Samsung is collaborating with 'Mobike,' a bike-sharing service company that has recently gained attention in China. Galaxy Note8 users can launch the camera, scan the QR code on a Mobike bicycle, and use the service through simple operations.
