Selected as 'Best Invention of 2023'
Samsung Products Named for 3 Consecutive Years

Samsung Electronics' 'Microplastic Reduction Filter' and 'Galaxy Z Flip5' have been selected as 'Best Inventions of 2023' by the prominent U.S. news magazine TIME.

In the 2023 Best Inventions report announced on the 24th (local time), TIME included the Microplastic Reduction Filter and Galaxy Z Flip5 in the categories of home products and consumer electronics, respectively.

Every year, TIME selects and announces new products and ideas that change consumers' daily lives as the best inventions of the year.

TIME introduced the Microplastic Reduction Filter as "an innovative product that reduces the amount of microplastics, which are considered a major cause of marine environmental pollution," adding that "it can reduce microplastics discharged during laundry by up to 98%."

Developed in collaboration with global outdoor brand Patagonia and nonprofit research organization Ocean Wise, the Microplastic Reduction Filter is currently sold in South Korea, Europe, and other regions. It is scheduled to be launched in the U.S. and Canada early next year.

TIME described the Galaxy Z Flip5 as a 'modern flip phone' and highlighted the 3.4-inch larger cover screen called the 'Flex Window.' TIME emphasized, "The key feature of the Galaxy Z Flip5 is the cover screen Flex Window," adding, "It not only allows users to easily check only the information they need but also offers customization options."

With this award, Samsung Electronics' Galaxy smartphones have been named among TIME's Best Inventions of the Year for three consecutive years, following the Galaxy Z Flip3 in 2021 and the Galaxy S22 Ultra in 2022.
