The ceremonious week for gaming finishes on November 22 (Friday) with the 4th Annual Esports Awards Open brought to viewers by the Golf & Gaming Club. In short, this will be a celebrity pro-am golf tournament. Samsung's involvement includes a sponsored hole "with interactive elements that blend sports and technology."
With everything set to kick off on November 19, Samsung states it is the Official Mobile Partner and Title Sponsor for The Mobies. Moreover, the company will present the "Mobile Streamer of the Year" award during the ceremony. Samsung is also the "Official Mobile Partner" of the Esports Awards.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6's upcoming PUBG Mobile tournament should be exciting. Though not advertised as a gaming phone, the Fold 6 can handle the intense pressure of a competitive battle royale experience with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC for Galaxy. The chip empowers Samsung's latest book-style foldable with speed and performance that can handle games and multitasking.
Michael Ashford, CEO of the Esports Awards stated, "Samsung Galaxy devices are known for their performance, something that is highly sought after by a number of our finalists in the Esports Awards and the Mobies. We are proud to welcome them as Official Mobile Partner and Title Sponsor, and to have them so integrated into our ceremonies and PWR UP Week."
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 continues to refine what consumers experienced with its predecessor. Initially, the company changed up its design ever-so-slightly, but a highlight is still the Fold 6's software. Consumers may also not notice too much of a fold crease this time around, either. On the flipside, the Fold 6 features loads of Samsung's Galaxy AI software to aid with your everyday tasks.
