You’re probably familiar with the gaps that happen every day – the half-made dinner plan in a group chat, meeting notes scattered across three apps, and that one tiny thing you meant to sort out three hours ago. But stress no more – with Galaxy AI[1] on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8, get ready to transform your thoughts into action.

You heard that right – Galaxy AI on the new Z8 series has been optimised to each of the foldable form factors, with intuitive helpful features that make it easier to stay in control of your day, even when life gets busy.

And what’s great is that all this intelligence happens on a screen that unfolds into an expansive display — so the conversation you’re having and the task you’re working on can sit side by side if you wish, providing helpful reference when needed, while reducing the hassle of toggling between apps. Another good part? If you’re reading this on a mobile that’s not Galaxy, getting here might be even easier than you think.

Start the Day Knowing What Matters

Now Brief surfaces personalised insights and recommendations on the Galaxy Z Flip8’s versatile FlexWindow, giving users all the information they need with just a glance.

Can my phone provide a daily summary of my to-do list and important things I should take note of?

For many people, the morning usually begins with a dozen things half-loaded in mind — an upcoming work deadline, a reply you owe a friend, a dinner plan with family for tonight — and keeping them straight has been your job alone. Now Brief[2] takes on that job, surfacing personalised insights tailored to your routines, interests and daily needs. Without unfolding your Galaxy Z Flip8, the FlexWindow also offers a view of the day’s weather, schedule and important notifications at a glance.

In 2026, Now Brief also keeps an eye out for you, by surfacing security and privacy insights, as well as flagging potential risks alongside the day’s priorities. By the time your first coffee is done, you already have a helpful snapshot of what’s ahead.

 Anticipating the Next Step

Now Nudge surfaces next steps — checking a schedule, finding a place — side by side with the conversation on the unfolded display.

How can the Galaxy Z8 series help me coordinate and manage my schedule?

Late morning, a dinner plan starts to take shape in your group chat. Everyone’s keen, but no one’s checked a schedule or picked a place — and this is exactly where plans usually stall. Now Nudge[3] catches them: when plans begin brewing in a conversation, it surfaces relevant next steps like checking calendars for a suitable date and time to keep things moving.

On the Galaxy Z Fold8’s unfolded main display, those suggestions sit right beside the conversation, so the chat can continue while your plan comes together – less manual effort but more progress.

Getting Things Done

How can my mobile phone help me finish tasks with less effort?

Knowing what you need to do is the first step. But having to toggle between three different apps can be a big obstacle. With the hassle of tab-switching and copy-pasting, it’s no wonder tasks get abandoned halfway. But with Galaxy AI on Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z8 Series, when you need something, all you have to do is simply ask.

Gemini Intelligence can help you move from request to result in fewer steps: simply describe what you need in a natural voice or through text, or add screen or image context.

Turning Scattered Information into Useful Outputs

Gemini Notebook collects notes, images and recordings in one workspace and turns them into meeting recaps and documents, with drag-and-drop in Split view.

Can my mobile phone help me quickly organise my meeting notes?

By afternoon, a long meeting has just ended, and the recap you owe your team lives everywhere at once — a voice memo, photos of a whiteboard, half-typed notes in two languages.

Gemini Notebook is that one, consistent workplace where you can collect, organise and develop your ideas. Whether your content is in notes, images, recordings, files, or document format, use Gemini Notebook to transform that content into meeting recaps, reports, visual summaries, infographics or audio overviews.

On the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, drag-and-drop in Split view makes your workflow even more direct and simple: retain your source material on one side of the 8.0-inch main display[4], and see the finished recap taking shape on the other. Getting organised – even on the go – then becomes one shareable document with minimal time and effort.

Ending the Day a Step Ahead

Usually the day just ends — whatever didn’t get done rolls quietly into tomorrow, unexamined. This evening looks different. Dinner’s booked and the recap’s sent so you can wind down today and calmly look forward to tomorrow.

The Galaxy Z8 Series is available in Australia now — ready to help you close the gap between thought and action.

Do you remember the first time you ever saw a foldable mobile phone?

Modern foldables of today have evolved far beyond just a screen that folds. Samsung’s line-up now combines intelligent features with large displays for productivity, entertainment, and communication.

Since the introduction of the first Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has been leveraging a deep understanding of consumer needs and strengthening expertise in this category. Valuable insights and experiences gained from seven generations of foldable innovation has resulted in the most complete line-up yet – the all-new Galaxy Z8 series.

This exciting line-up is resonating with consumers globally, including those in Southeast Asia and Oceania. The new series is also compelling more people in the region to embrace Samsung foldables.

From the latest innovations unveiled in 2026, let’s trace Samsung’s evolution of foldable technology through the years – from its newest breakthroughs, all the way back to the debut of its very first foldable phone. Here’s how the journey unfolded.

In 2024, the Galaxy Z series was first equipped with Galaxy AI, offering users AI-powered experiences tailored to each form factor.

2021-2023: Bringing foldables into everyone’s everyday life

As the category developed, Samsung continued to refine foldables and increase versatility, enabling the form factor to better fit into everyday life.

2019-2020: Can you fold a mobile phone?

Long before foldables became familiar in everyday mobile experiences, Samsung took the bold step of reimagining what the category could look like. And after launching a foldable for the first time in 2019, Samsung continued to show that foldables were not just phones with flexible screens, but devices that could support entirely new ways to enjoy mobile experiences. With relentless innovation over the years, Samsung has driven the technology from concept to mainstream adoption.

More still to come for the Galaxy Z series

What began as a bold idea in 2019 has evolved into a comprehensive Galaxy Z portfolio shaped by relentless innovation and improvements. The journey is far from over. Across the Galaxy Z series, Samsung will continue to make the foldable experience even more intuitive, capable, and seamless for everyone.

Footy finals season is once again one of the biggest catalysts for a new TV purchase amongst Australians with Samsung’s internal sales data showing TV sales spiked by 20% in the lead-up to last year’s back-to-back AFL and NRL finals weekend[1]^. Large screens (75 inches and above) grew by 27%[2], reinforcing Australians’ love of gathering around their TV with friends and family to watch big sporting moments across the nation.

According to Simon Howe, Director – Audio Visual, Samsung Australia, Australians are on track to match last years’ sell out in 2026, with one key change: Australians aren’t just buying bigger TVs for the big game, they’re going ultra-large.

“Samsung’s 98 inch and above TV category has grown in value by over 45% year on year[3], making it our fastest-growing TV size segment and cementing the ultra-large screen as the new centrepiece of the Australian lounge room,” said Mr Howe. “Footy finals is now a catalyst for Australians to get that big TV they’ve been craving because it helps bring stadium-like immersion to our homes.”

Beyond the viewing experience itself, Mr Howe attributes the prevalence of ultra-large screen purchases to increased accessibility in recent years, in both range and price. In 2025, Samsung offered four 98 inch or bigger TVs across its Neo QLED and QLED ranges. Today, Samsung’s line-up features eight ultra-large TVs, spanning Samsung’s premium Micro RGB, The Frame Art TV, Neo QLED, and Mini LED ranges, with displays available in 98 inches to 115 inches.

Further, Samsung insights show that the current market average selling price for a 98 inch TV is approximately $5,000, with Samsung offering the 98-inch Crystal UHD U9000H for $3,799 and the premium 115-inch Micro RGB R95F at $41,999.

“Today’s ultra-large screen market is very different to 2019 when Samsung’s first 98-inch 8K TV launched at $99,999,” said Mr Howe. “Samsung offers a wide range of ultra-large TVs at various price points to ensure there is an option to suit every Australian lifestyle. From Glare-Free options, to Art TV options, every Samsung ultra-large screen is made for Australians, designed to deliver amazing picture and audio quality, a premium design, and Vision AI Companion smart features that consumers expect from the global number one TV brand for 20 years[4],” said Mr Howe.

Samsung insights also show that Australians’ appetite for big screens has secured our nation’s position as one of the world’s leading markets for large-screen TVs. Australia currently ranks fourth globally for the proportion of 75-inch-plus Samsung TV sales, putting us at number one in the Southern Hemisphere[5].

With more ultra-large options on the market than ever, Mr Howe warns that not all big screens are created equal. Ahead of finals weekend, here’s what he says Australians should keep an eye out for:

1. Processing power built for big screens. “Detail can get lost when content is simply stretched across a larger screen. Ensure the TV you’re looking at has big-screen specific technology like Samsung’s Supersize Picture Enhancer[6]. This feature uses AI to upscale content, focusing on noise reduction, tailored sharpness and black enhancement, helping to ensure picture quality is maintained at scale.”
2. Certified Glare-Free. “Big screens can mean big reflections in bright Australian homes, and anti-reflection does not mean ‘glare-free’. Samsung’s Glare-Free coating[7] is certified to help minimise on-screen distractions[8], so nobody misses the winning try or the final siren due to a stray reflection.”
3. A screen that earns its place on the wall. “A big TV can mean a big black box when it’s switched off. Samsung’s ultra-large range includes the 98-inch The Frame TV which can transform into a work of art via Art Mode and The Art Store[9] before and after the final whistle.”

Samsung’s range of ultra-large TVs are supported by 7 years of Tizen upgrades, and endless entertainment options including Gaming Hub with Xbox Game Pass[10] and 200+ subscription free channels via Samsung TV Plus[11]. Voted Australia’s Most Loved TV brand for seven consecutive years in the Finder Customer Satisfaction awards, Australians can shop with confidence this Footy Finals weekend.

Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Tab S12+ both feature immersive displays and come bundled with the ergonomically designed S Pen for effortless note-taking and precise editing. With easy access to professional-grade apps and versatile accessories, users can pursue their passions and progress toward their goals with ease. Combining portability with professional-grade power, the Galaxy Tab S12 series gives users instant access to powerful capabilities whenever inspiration strikes.

“The Galaxy Tab S12 series is designed for people who are constantly exploring new ideas, developing new skills and bringing their ambitions to life,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Built with industry-leading hardware, the Galaxy Tab S12 series pairs an expansive screen with the power of Galaxy AI — helping remove friction from complex tasks so users can stay focused on achieving impactful results.”

Peak Performance in an Ultra-Thin Design

The Galaxy Tab S12 series combines powerful performance and long-lasting battery life into a thin and light design, making it easy for users to achieve more, wherever ambition takes them. At a remarkably slim 5.1mm[1], Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra delivers the most powerful performance of any Galaxy Tab to date, supporting productive use throughout the day. For example, users taking an online course alongside a full-time job can catch up on a lesson during the commute, then work through course exercises on the large screen at a café or library later in the day.

Both models are built to go the distance, allowing users to keep going without losing momentum. On a single charge, the all-day battery lasts up to 23 hours on Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra[2] and up to 21 hours on Galaxy Tab S12+[3], supporting long stretches of productivity anywhere. When it is time to recharge, users can quickly get their tablet to 100% with the 45W adapter[4] — minimising downtime so users can get back to what they were doing.[5]

Beyond long-lasting battery life, the Galaxy Tab S12 series delivers the most powerful performance of any Galaxy Tab to date, keeping pace with even intensive tasks. In everyday use, that means users can take on more demanding tasks with increased speed and responsiveness. Whether rendering complex creative projects or watching a lecture while taking notes and asking AI for clarification — the experience stays responsive and fast with fewer interruptions to break their focus.

A newly designed 3D Vapour Chamber efficiently dissipates heat to support more reliable performance during demanding tasks, whether users are editing video or designing graphics for hours.[6] Engineered for resilience and durability to withstand the elements and give users peace of mind, the Galaxy Tab S12 series also comes with IP68-rated water and dust resistance.[7]

The Galaxy Tab S12 series comes with an expansive screen designed to help users think bigger and give ideas more room to unfold. Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra features a large 14.6-inch display[8], making it easy to explore complex topics and keep multiple perspectives in view. The Galaxy Tab S12+ features a  12.6-inch display[9] and slimmer bezels than its predecessor, offering more screen space without sacrificing portability. Both models feature Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays reaching up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness[10] — delivering clear, vivid visuals indoors or out, The upgraded seamless Vision Booster now adjusts brightness in real time based on lighting conditions for comfortable viewing.

Sound gets a major upgrade as well, with 4-channel spatial audio — twice as many channels as the previous generation — delivering a richer, more immersive experience whether users are streaming content, following a tutorial or editing.

Making Everyday Tasks More Intuitive and Effortless

Building on an industry-leading hardware foundation, the Galaxy Tab S12 series turns its large screen into a flexible workspace that makes it easy to keep up with different tasks without missing a beat. Running Android 17 with One UI 9 and the latest Galaxy AI, it brings research, note-taking, creation and AI assistance into one place, giving users more freedom to explore new ideas, capture what matters and put what they learn into practice.

Thanks to the Galaxy Tab S12 series’ immersive screen, users can split the screen into up to three sections in Multi Window layout. For example, users can take notes in Samsung Notes on one side while playing a lecture and opening an AI assistant on the other. As key takeaways or questions come up, users can capture them with the S Pen directly in Samsung Notes, while Note Assist[11] summarises their notes – all without pausing the lecture.

Both models come bundled with an ergonomic S Pen, offering precise, intuitive input for note-taking, annotating materials, and sketching concepts. For a more structured, professional workstation, the Pro Keyboard[12] elevates productivity with a premium aluminum finish and a Galaxy AI Key[13] that enables instant access to AI assistants, while the Book Cover Keyboard Slim[14] delivers flexibility with comfortable viewing angles and an effortless typing experience.[15]

The Galaxy Tab S12 series helps users bring information together and get real-time support the moment curiosity strikes. The Galaxy Tab S12 series comes equipped with a six-month trial of Google AI Pro[16], providing expanded access to Google’s most capable AI models from day one. Users can ask Gemini[17] about anything unclear or dive deeper into subjects they want to explore the moment a question comes up. With Gemini Notebook, users can bring together notes, images, recordings, and files in one workspace and create summaries, podcasts, and even quizzes to make key information easier to understand.

As exploration expands into deeper research, Samsung Browser helps users stay focused without losing track of what they have already discovered. By understanding webpage content, context across multiple tabs, and browsing history, it can summarise information across open pages or surface a relevant source viewed days earlier – helping users spend less time searching through past tabs and more time capturing the key insights that matter most.[18]

A Complete Ecosystem Designed to Take Skills and Creativity Further

The Galaxy Tab S12 series gives users the ideal place to put knowledge into practice, bringing together professional-grade apps[19] alongside various app benefits [20] to help them take their skills further.

Adobe Photoshop[21] comes pre-loaded on the Galaxy Tab S12 series — a first for Android tablets — bringing pro-grade image editing and design to the tablet. The interface is optimised for tablets, and S Pen support makes it more intuitive to move ideas from hand to screen. Photoshop includes AI-powered features including AI Assistant[22] and generative AI features powered by Adobe Firefly, like Generative Fill and Image to Video, helping creatives edit faster and effortlessly. Exclusively for the Galaxy Tab S12 series, users receive four months of free access to the Photoshop mobile plan[23].

Notability[24], newly pre-loaded on Galaxy Tab, helps users capture their ideas, organise notes and build knowledge more efficiently with S Pen optimisation and AI-driven study tools with a six-month free trial, plus 20% off the first subscription[25].

Goodnotes[26] delivers clean note-taking and organisation with one year of free access and LumaFusion[27] enables professional-grade video editing, offered at a 66% discount. And Notion[28] supports flexible writing, planning and organisation with one month of its Plus plan free. Clip Studio Paint[29] brings precision drawing and painting tools for digital art with a six-month trial and 20% off the first subscription.

In addition to these apps, users can explore a broader range of options that support different needs. MyScript Math app solves handwritten equations and shows the steps behind each one, while MyScript Notes app summarises handwritten notes into study materials with built-in AI tools to explain concepts or generate quizzes.[30] Noteshelf 3[31] offers customisable layouts for capturing and organising ideas, while ArcSite[32] converts rough field sketches into precise CAD drawings.

Availability

Samsung Electronics today announced the new Galaxy SmartTag3, a compact tracker that combines a smaller, lighter design with longer-range finding, cross-OS (Operating System) support, faster location updates through the Galaxy Find Network and expanded proactive alerts.[1]

“People want simpler and more convenient ways to keep track of belongings and pets with greater peace of mind, and Galaxy SmartTag3 was designed around those everyday needs,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Powered by the vast Galaxy Find Network, it delivers our most capable Galaxy SmartTag experience yet.”

Versatile Design, More Possibilities

Galaxy SmartTag3 introduces a compact design that is approximately 35% smaller by volume and 33% lighter than the previous generation[2], making it easier to attach to keys, smaller bags, luggage or a pet collar.[3] Its rounded form is finished with an aluminum-decorated button for a refined, durable feel, while new official accessories including a Silicone Case with a keyring and a Loop Case offer even more flexibility.[4]

For the first time in the Galaxy SmartTag lineup, Galaxy SmartTag3 also brings cross-OS compatibility for Galaxy and iOS devices, making it easier for families and groups to access core finding and sharing features across platforms. Through SmartThings Find, users can check and share a tag’s location and use Search Nearby across supported devices.^[5] This is especially useful when a friend or family member borrows a suitcase for a trip, allowing them to check its location and use supported finding features from their own Galaxy or iOS device.

Galaxy SmartTag3 offers long-lasting battery life for everyday life to help keep track of belongings and items that matter most.

See Further, Find Faster

When something goes missing, knowing where to start looking can make all the difference. Galaxy SmartTag3 significantly expands the range of Compass View^[6], helping users begin narrowing in on an item from farther away.

Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding enables Compass View to provide distance and directional guidance from up to 60 meters away — around three times farther than the previous generation. As users get closer, ultra-wideband (UWB) delivers even greater precision, creating a more continuous finding experience from long range to close range. If a set of keys goes missing somewhere in a large park, Compass View can help users narrow in on its location from farther away and guide them more precisely as they get closer.

When Galaxy SmartTag3 moves beyond direct connection range, the Galaxy Find Network helps keep the search going. More than 900 million participating Galaxy devices[7] worldwide can act as finding nodes, helping detect Galaxy SmartTag3 and update its location beyond the reach of the user’s own phone.^[8] Faster Galaxy Find Network updates can surface new location information sooner after disconnection, helping reduce uncertainty when luggage or another tagged belonging is unexpectedly separated from its owner.

Stay Informed Proactively

Galaxy SmartTag3 goes beyond finding by helping users stay informed without actively searching. The new Place Notification[9] feature adds a proactive layer, letting users define an area and receive an alert when a tagged item moves in or out of it.

Using location data from the Galaxy Find Network, Place Notification can notify users when a family pet leaves the garden or when a bicycle is detected moving out of its usual parking area. Instead of requiring users to repeatedly check a location, Galaxy SmartTag3 can surface the information when it becomes relevant.

Location History[10] lets users review where their tag has been, while Movement Detection Alert[11] can notify them when movement is detected so they can stay informed without actively checking.[12]

Built for Everyday Privacy and Confidence

Galaxy SmartTag3 retains an IP67[13] water and dust resistance rating alongside key Galaxy SmartTag capabilities including:

• NFC-powered Lost Mode[14], which can display registered contact information or a short message when a lost tag is scanned with a NFC on any Android 9.0 or above compatible mobile device.
• SmartThings IoT Control, which allow users to trigger preset routines for compatible connected devices using the tag button.
• Left Behind Alert^[15], which can notify users when their mobile device loses connection with a tagged belonging.

Privacy and security remain central to the Galaxy SmartTag experience with location data encrypted to help protect user privacy.

Availability

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag3 will be available in Korea beginning 7 October, 2026, with additional markets including Australia to follow in 2027. It will be available in White and Black.

For more information, please visit samsung.com/au or the Samsung Australia Newsroom.

[11] Movement Detection Alert feature operates only when Galaxy SmartTag3 is disconnected from the device and relies on signals detected by nearby Galaxy devices that have agreed to Offline finding. Notifications may not be triggered depending on the surroundings of Galaxy SmartTag3.

[12] Depending on the availability and status of nearby Galaxy devices that have agreed to Offline finding, there may be a delay in sending or receiving notifications, or notifications may not be received at all. Notifications may not be triggered depending on the surroundings of Galaxy SmartTag3.

Third party testing was conducted in fresh water. Not suitable for diving or high pressure water activities. Refer to user manual for further care and instructions.

[14] Contact information and message must be registered beforehand on the SmartThings app to have it shown on the finder’s device on Lost Mode. The finder’s device must support NFC reading and be connected to the internet to display the pre-registered contact information upon tagging. To help protect your personal information, it is recommended that Lost Mode be turned off when it is no longer needed.

[15] Notify When Left Behind feature relies entirely on the connection to your device. False alerts may occur if obstacles or environmental factors disrupt the connection, even when the item is still nearby. Feature availability may vary by platform, device and market. Left Behind Alert is not available on iOS.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death worldwide,[1] which is why the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the World Heart Federation recognise 29 Sept as World Heart Day. It is a reminder that the choices we make today can make a meaningful difference tomorrow.

These choices don’t have to be big. From choosing when to go to bed to making time for even just 30 minutes of exercise, the small choices we make every day add up to a healthier lifestyle. The good news is that an help you make proactive prevention part of daily life. By monitoring your sleep, activity level, stress and blood pressure, Galaxy Watch [2] helps you better understand what’s happening in your body and what steps to take to support your heart is doing its job well.[3]

Understanding Your Body at a Glance: Heart Health Score

The American Heart Association recommends looking at Life’s Essential 8[4] as key measures for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health: diet, exercise, sleep, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and smoking cessation. But knowing what matters raises an important question: how do these factors change the choices we make every day?

Samsung Health’s Heart Health Score[5] is designed to help you in this journey. It tracks and analyses health indicators such as sleep duration, daily activity level, body composition and vascular load,[6] converting them into a single, simple score that anyone can intuitively understand and follow.

Think about what happens if you miss your daily exercise for a few days: your Galaxy Watch recognises your moderate-to-high intensity activity level has decreased, reflects this change in a lower Heart Health Score, and makes a recommendation to go for a run. With convenient insights right from your wrist, Galaxy Watch delivers personalised insights that make it easier to recognise changes, understand your habits, and take the next step toward healthier ones.

Galaxy Watch and Samsung Health provide effortless understanding of cardiovascular wellness through the Heart Health Score. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Actual UX/UI may be different.

Advanced Sensor Technology: From Measurement to Meaning

Samsung Galaxy Watches are equipped with an advanced which integrates three precision sensors in one: an optical heart rate sensor (PPG), an electrocardiogram sensor (ECG),[7] and a bioelectrical impedance analysis sensor (BIA).

With calibration just once every four weeks using a home blood pressure monitor, you can easily check your blood pressure[8] from your wrist anytime, anywhere. When you place your finger on the watch’s side electrode for just 30 seconds, the watch measures an electrocardiogram to detect potential signs of abnormal heartbeats. The Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN)[9] feature, which detects potential abnormal heart signals, monitors the user’s heart rhythm throughout the day and provides a proactive notification if abnormal signs are repeated.

Even small reminders like this can make a meaningful difference to heart health awareness. In several countries, these notifications[10] have led to early awareness of risks such as certain cardiovascular concerns.

Galaxy Watch supports heart rhythm monitoring through irregular heart rhythm notifications and ECG readings. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Actual UX/UI may be different.

Around-the-Clock Care: How Galaxy Watch Proactively Monitors Your Health Even During Sleep

Your heart is a constant you can count on, and it works whether you’re awake or asleep. When you wear your Galaxy Watch to sleep, it analyses: heart rate during sleep, heart rate variability,[11] respiratory rate, skin temperature and blood oxygen saturation.[12] These signals are compared against your personal baseline.

When you wake up, your Galaxy Watch will send a notification if it detects deviations from your baseline. By highlighting meaningful changes early, it gives you an opportunity to rest, recover or seek medical guidance before small issues become larger concerns.[13]

Galaxy Watch and Samsung Health give users a clear view of their sleep quality with detailed metrics and insights they can use to improve their sleep habits.

Heart to Heart: Connected Care That Adds Peace of Mind

Looking after your own heart is only one side of the story. From parents to partners, siblings to grandparents or even friends, the burden of caring for the hearts of those around you weighs heavily. Samsung Health’s Health Data Sharing[14] function lightens the load by sharing agreed-upon data items (number of steps, blood pressure, heart rate, medication adherence, etc.) with loved ones in real time.

You can check if your parents who live far away have completed their daily walk or taken their prescribed medication on time, just as if you were right there with them.

Samsung Health lets users share selected health data with loved ones, helping them stay connected and informed about one another’s wellbeing. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Actual UX/UI may be different.

World Heart Day coincides with the seasonal transition when chilly winds begin to blow in the mornings and evenings.

The key to preventing heart disease lies not in reactive treatment, but in proactive habits of paying close attention to the subtle signals your body sends every day. Start managing your heart health with Galaxy Watch, a reliable health partner that stays with you around the clock.

New research from Samsung Australia indicates a whopping three quarters (72%) of Australians believe the right technology and entertainment setup can make watching sport at home feel just as special as being in the stadium[1]. As demand for major sporting events continues to outpace ticket availability, and factors such as travel and accessibility influence attendance[2], Australians are increasingly turning to at-home, immersive viewing experiences. In fact, 83% of Australians said they would like to transform an unused room or garage into the ultimate entertainment destination.[3]

Australians’ passion for sport remains as strong as ever, but the way they choose to experience it is evolving. Samsung research found that 91% of Australians believe watching from home offers a more comfortable and convenient experience, while 79% have opted to watch sport or entertainment from home due to the increasing cost of attending live events.[4] The findings underscore a growing shift towards premium at-home entertainment – spanning connected set-ups made up of displays, sound and appliances – where comfort no longer requires compromising the atmosphere of game day.

“For Australians, sport is far more than entertainment. It’s a cultural ritual that brings families, friends, and communities together, and technology is increasingly enhancing the experience, and bringing sport to life in Australians’ homes. We’ve observed a growing demand for premium at-home viewing experiences, with more Australians investing in smart consumer electronics, helping them feel closer to the action – this spans multi-display set-ups made up of TVs, through to smartphones and appliances,” said Phil Gaut, Head of Consumer Electronics, Samsung Australia.

“That’s exactly why Samsung designs its TVs with innovations such as Glare-Free technology for our bright rooms, AI-powered picture enhancement to elevate every moment, alongside connected home appliances and surround audio to deliver a stadium-like experience from the comfort of home, all controlled from the palm of one’s hand via a Galaxy mobile. Whether it’s footy finals, cricket season or a major international event, Samsung is helping Australians experience every moment as it was meant to be seen. It’s truly an exciting time for Samsung as we develop products made for Australians’ spaces, lifestyles and passion-points, and bring immersive experiences to our homes, and surrounded by loved ones.”

Bringing the stadium home

As Australians invest more in their at-home entertainment experiences, the research reveals that creating the ultimate viewing environment is about more than just watching the game. More than half (59%) of Australians believe a big-screen TV is essential[5], highlighting a growing desire to recreate the convenience and atmosphere of a premium venue at home. This is backed by new Samsung insights that show that 60% of Australians believe the bigger the TV screen, the more immersed they feel in what they’re watching, while 68% agree bigger screens makes content look more lifelike[6].

Creating that stadium-like atmosphere at home starts with the screen itself. To meet growing demand for immersive viewing experiences, Samsung expanded its range of 98-inch-plus TVs from four models in 2025 to up to 10 by the end of 2026 across Micro RGB, The Frame, Neo QLED and Mini LED ranges. The expanded lineup gives Australians more choice across screen sizes, display technologies and price points, making it easier to bring a larger-than-life viewing experience into a wider range of homes and entertainment spaces[7]. To recreate the atmosphere of being at the stadium, nearly a third (31%) believe an immersive sound system is essential, helping deliver the roar of the crowd, every commentary call and key match moment straight into the home[8].

Food and drink are also key ingredients for the ultimate at-home fan zone. More than two in five Australians (43%) say having a dedicated fridge for food and drinks is a must-have feature, yet many face practical challenges when hosting.[9] One in five (21%) say constantly running back and forth to the kitchen disrupts the viewing experience, while 19% struggle with having enough fridge space to keep food and drinks on hand for guests.[10] This highlights a growing desire for entertainment spaces that keep everything needed for game day within easy reach, and is in line with Samsung’s commitment to smart refrigeration solutions spanning its Family Hub to Side-by-Side.

Today’s viewing experience extends well beyond one main screen, with 72% of Australians also using their phone or another device while watching live sport, movies or entertainment at home.[11] Whether it’s messaging friends and family, checking scores, stats and updates, or engaging with content online, second-screen habits have become a core part of how Australians watch. Second-screen usage comes in tandem of multi-screen smartphones, and growth in the foldable form factor. In fact, more than one in four (28%) use an additional screen to watch replays, highlights, bonus content or other entertainment simultaneously[12], showing the increasing demand for the Galaxy Z series, and connected experiences that help fans stay engaged without missing a moment.

With these factors in mind, many are looking beyond the living room and unlocking the potential of underutilised spaces to create dedicated entertainment zones. More than two in five (41%) see their garage as a space with entertainment potential[13], while 40% admit it is currently used primarily for storage.[14]

From busy mornings to summer entertaining and weekend meal prep, Australian homes have their own rhythms. Samsung appliances are designed around the way Australians actually live, with capacity, connectivity, and efficiency built-in to help make everyday life more convenient, and more personalised to suit every unique Australian lifestyle.

Samsung’s made for Australians approach to appliances is resonating with local consumers with Samsung’s refrigerator line-up voted ‘Top Value’, ‘Most Reliable’, ‘Top Performance’, and ‘Most Recommended’ in the 2026 Finder Customer Satisfaction Awards[1]. Samsung’s Top Load Washing Machines were also voted ‘Most Loved’ by Australians[2] indicating that local consumers want large capacity, connected appliances that support their routines easily, intelligently, and reliably over the long term.

Here are five ways Samsung appliances are made for Australians.

Made for Australians with big families and big plans

Samsung insights show that Australian families want more flexibility from their appliances. In the kitchen, one in three (38%) Australians wish they had more fridge space for summer entertaining, and more space for storing bulk cooked meals in the winter (34%). In the laundry, over a fifth of Australians (30%) say they’d wash more in a single load if they had a bigger capacity washer[3]. Samsung’s ultra-large capacity refrigerators such as the 809L Bespoke AI Family Hub+, and washers and dryers including the 19.5kg Bespoke AI Combo are made for families who want to do more – from getting ahead on the week to hosting a house full of guests – without compromising on space.

Samsung’s Bespoke AI Combo is the largest all-in-one laundry solution in Australia, capable of up to 30% energy saving via AI Energy Mode[4]. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Cables not shown.

Made for Australians who love to entertain

What’s more Australian than opening your home to friends and family? More than half of Australians have told Samsung that having drinks chilled and platters prepped before guests arrive is key to being a great host[5]. Samsung’s range of Bespoke French-Door refrigerators are designed to make hosting effortless, with flexible shelving and an in-built Beverage Centre featuring an Autofill Jug[6] and Auto Ice Maker[7]. That means more room for platters, more cold drinks on hand, and less last-minute preparation, freeing up more time to spend with guests.

Made for Australians who need things done quickly

From school uniforms to fancy delicate fabrics, Australians are looking for smarter ways to tackle laundry and care for their clothes. Samsung insights reveal that one in three (36%) believe smart devices are key to unlocking greater control over daily tasks[8]. Samsung’s AI-powered Bespoke laundry appliances like the 12kg Bespoke AI Front-load Washer take the effort out of washing with Super Speed cycles[9], Auto Dispense, fabric detection[10] and SmartThings connectivity[11], helping Australians stay in control at home or on the go.

Made for Australians who prioritise energy efficiency

If you feel frustrated when the fridge door is left open because it wastes energy, you’re not alone. 71% of Australians feel the same[12] and believe smart devices can play a role in helping to reduce energy and water bills. This is an area where Samsung’s AI-powered appliances excel; from adapting water levels and temperature to each wash load, to monitoring and managing energy use through SmartThings, to achieving 10 Star Energy ratings on select Bespoke AI Dryer models like the 17Kg AI Heat Pump Dryer[13]. It’s a smarter approach to running the home, putting control back in Australians’ hands.

Samsung’s range of home appliances can connect via SmartThings, giving you a central platform to manage and monitor your home. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.

Made for Australians who love when things work better together

Two in three Australians believe appliances that work better together make household tasks easier[14]. Samsung agrees and has spent nearly a decade connecting compatible appliances through SmartThings[15] to build personalised AI ecosystems across the home. By learning routines, remembering preferred settings and anticipating what help is needed next, Samsung appliances are designed to help Australians spend less time managing their home, and more time living in it.

From bigger families and busy entertainers, to Australians chasing efficiency and a more connected home, these insights reflect what Samsung has spent years learning about the way Australians actually live: great appliances aren’t one-size-fits-all.
