<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has today announced the highly-anticipated AI Family Hub<sup>TM</sup> French Door Refrigerator is available in Australia, with enhanced connectivity and AI capabilities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This refrigerator boasts a 21.5-inch screen that features the new AI Vision Inside<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>, which uses an internal camera to recognise up to 33 different food items that are put into and taken out of the refrigerator and suggests recipes using those ingredients. Users can also set use by dates’ on the AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> screen for food items, which then allows the refrigerator to send a notification when the set date draws near<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>; conveniently helping to save money by reducing food waste.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The arrival marks the recent reinforcement of Samsung’s leadership and commitment to the BESPOKE AI range, demonstrating its vision for how connectivity amongst them can improve the overall experience at home, and how AI enhances the performance of appliances. BESPOKE AI encompasses how Samsung home appliances not only perform well with the usual tasks, but can do more than previously imagined with AI applied.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jong-Hee (JH) Han, Vice Chairman, CEO and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics said “Since the first introduction of BESPOKE in 2019, Samsung Electronics has presented to the market on how appliances can be customised to best fit each user’s home and lifestyle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Five years later, we now share our vision for AI in appliances with the products that expand the Bespoke legacy through enhanced connectivity and AI capabilities that will take the consumer experience to the next level.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>636L and 809L AI Family Hub<sup>TM</sup> French Door Refrigerator with Internal Beverage Centre<sup>TM</sup></h3>
<p>The AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> is the cornerstone of any kitchen.

With the AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, users can experience a whole new way of living conveniently.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Key technology included in the AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> range includes:</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />: </strong>AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> provides an enhanced and richer user experience. It comes in the form of a 21.5” screen, making it easy to control the refrigerator while giving users a fun way to share photos<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> and messages, watch YouTube videos through the Family Hub app, listen to music,<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> and access information through the Internet<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup>[5]</sup></a></li>
<li><strong>AI Vision Inside:</strong> AI Vision Inside<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup>[6]</sup></a> intelligently simplifies daily food management, allowing users to get enjoyment out of smartly managing their food. Using an internal camera,<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup>[7]</sup></a> it can identify certain fresh food items when they are put into or taken out of the refrigerator. This recognition makes it easier to manage a food list<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><sup>[8]</sup></a> that can also be checked from the SmartThings App.<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><sup>[9]</sup></a> Users can view images of items in the door bins, as well. AI Vision Inside can also suggest relevant recipes and allows users to manually set use-by dates.</li>

You can share photos and messages through compatible devices, enjoy non-stop entertainment, create personalised recipe ideas and seamlessly control your compatible smart devices<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a>. And AI Vision Inside<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a> can help you manage food easily by an automatically updated food list.</li>
<li><strong>Triple Cooling + Metal Cooling: </strong>Triple Cooling technology supplies cool air independently to the 3 compartments in the fridge and freezer. It helps maintain the optimal temperature and humidity in each compartment and can help ensure that your food is not tainted by other strong smells. Additionally, the Metal Cooling duct can help maintain a consistent internal temperature.</li>
<li><strong>Internal Beverage Centre<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />: </strong>We&#8217;ve hidden the water dispenser inside the door to keep a seamless, flat door design outside for a clean, premium finish. The clever door in door design allows quick access to a handy and hygienic Beverage Centre<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> inside including the 1.4L autofill water jug<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a>, water dispenser and drinks storage so you get function without the mess<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span>[15]</span></a>.</li>

The Ice Bites<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> are smaller and chill drinks fast, so are especially good for families with children. Make up to 2.3kg of ice a day and store up to 3.1kg at a time <a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span>[16]</span></a>, and because the ice maker is in the freezer instead of the door, it frees up storage space in the fridge.</li>
<li><strong>SmartThings Home Care<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><span>[19]</span></a>:</strong> SmartThings Home Care<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><span>[20]</span></a> provides real-time monitoring and alerts. You can check on its status, including the condition of the water filter<a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21"><span>[21]</span></a>. It also automatically notifies you if parts need replacing or problems are detected and suggests a solution.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jeremy Senior, Vice President, Consumer Electronics, Samsung Australia said “Over the past decade, Samsung has invested in AI and product connectivity solidifying our dedication to improving Australians daily lives through innovative, connected home solutions. By seamlessly integrating AI, our home appliances continue to bring meaningful innovation, whilst redefining convenience in the home. From streamlining daily tasks to conserving energy, we’re committed to providing consumers with solutions at every touch point, enabling them to focus on what truly matters.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Advancing the Future of Appliances</h3>
<p>With built-in Wi-Fi, internal cameras, AI chips and compatibility with the SmartThings application.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Across the BESPOKE AI range, Samsung is developing technologies which are creating new possibilities for Australians and enabling better ways of living in the home. With new intuitive and connected features, the new AI Family HubTM French Door Refrigerator is the latest addition to the wider BESPOKE AI range, which continues to bring meaningful value and ultimately simplify Australians busy lives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Samsung BESPOKE AI range consists of unique AI-powered technologies that elevate everyday home experiences including:</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>AI Pro Cooking: Found in select ovens, the AI Pro Cooking feature recognises popular ingredients and suggests optimal cooking modes and settings for various recipes.</li>
<li>AI Wash: has five types of sensors to detect the laundry’s weight and help calculate the optimal amount of water and detergent.</li>

</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung is not only dedicated to presenting a unique home experience, but also committed to creating innovative products. Samsung continues to upgrade Wi-fi connected appliances in the market and already in users’ homes through software updates and the development of Smart Things.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung also introduces ‘Calm Onboarding’, which makes it easier for users to join Samsung’s connected life. It frees users from having to go through the hassle of product registration, as it directly registers products purchased under a Samsung account at Samsung.com on to the SmartThings app with the same account.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Samsung Electronics Australia has expanded its Bespoke Home range with the introduction of Bespoke Refrigerator – a new category of premium customisable fridges that can be personalised via an array of stylish colour and spatial combinations to fit individual aesthetics and household needs. Samsung’s Bespoke Refrigerator range is available from today via Harvey Norman, Winnings Appliances, The Good Guys, and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/refrigerators/bespoke/">Samsung Online Store</a>, with prices starting from $2,999<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a>.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Bespoke Refrigerator now sits at the heart of Samsung’s award-winning Bespoke Home range of appliances, centered on innovation, design, customisation, sustainability, and flexible functionality for every room. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Since the pandemic, Australians have become increasingly attentive to the way appliances fit into their living spaces, with the majority agreeing that dated looking appliances get under their skin<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> &#8211; especially the fridge<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>[3]</sup></a>. With the ability to combine modular units, colours and textures to adapt to suit a customer’s lifestyle as their needs change and grow – whether it’s having identical fridge/freezers or taking a more eclectic ‘enhance, elevate, and expand’ approach – the Samsung Bespoke Refrigerator range has a solution for everyone.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>“At Samsung, we believe that Bespoke Home is more than a product range or category. Bespoke is a way of living that can be brought to life through products that can be customised to suit individual styles and needs, offering both form and function for today’s design-conscious consumers,” said Jeremy Senior, Vice President – Consumer Electronics, Samsung Australia. “We’re excited to bring our Bespoke Home appliance series to the kitchen with Bespoke Refrigerator, giving Australians yet another opportunity to tailor their home to their individual styles and needs.” </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>“Samsung already has a range of award-winning<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a> Bespoke Home appliances available in Australia including our <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/vacuum-cleaners/stick/vs9500al-bespoke-jet-complete-extra-blue-vs20a95943b-sa/">Bespoke Jet stick vacuum</a>, <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/washers-and-dryers/airdresser/df8000nm-amber-brown-df60a8100hg-nz/">Bespoke AirDresser</a> and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/air-purifier/">Bespoke Cube<sup>TM</sup> air purifiers</a>. Given the kitchen is the heart of the home, we see the Bespoke Refrigerator as the pinnacle of what this customisable range of products can offer to our customers.” </span></p>

<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>

Together, these external and internal customisation options enable Australians to design their ideal kitchen space and elevate the home appliance experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Furthermore, modular units and individual colour panels can be changed, combined and upgraded<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a> as often as desired, ensuring the fridge is flexible to the needs of the user for longer.</p>

<p>“Australia is among the leading markets for Samsung’s lifestyle television range and in particular, our customisable Frame TV. Similar to the Frame, our Bespoke Home products represent the very best in tech but with design and style at the forefront. Given this success, we know that Bespoke Refrigerator and the broader Bespoke Home range is going to be extremely popular with our local consumers,” said Mr Senior.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>Samsung wins four accolades at the 2021 Good Design Awards, with the Odyssey G9, The Frame TV and Smart AI laundry range receiving the prestigious Good Design Award Gold Accolade.</em></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Australia has been awarded four accolades at the 63<sup>rd</sup> annual Good Design Awards for products of outstanding design and innovation that improve the lives of Australians – including three products receiving the prestigious Good Design Award Gold Accolade.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year, the awards recognised a range of Samsung consumer electronics, with the prestigious Good Design Awards Gold Accolade awarded to the Odyssey G9 gaming monitor, The Frame TV and Smart AI Washing Machine and Dryer range. While the 7000 Series French Door Refrigerator with Beverage Centre received a Good Design Award Winner Accolade.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“As the role of our homes continue to change, it has never been more important to innovate and advance the role of technology. At Samsung, we are committed to making Australians’ lives easier through beautifully designed products with innovative features, and it is an honour to have four of our products recognised by the Good Design Awards, one of the most prestigious design awards in Australia.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“While the functionality of products in our home is at the core of what we need them to do, Australians are house proud and expect their consumer electronics to also have design features. Whether that is having the technology blend in like The Frame TV, stand out with the Odyssey gaming monitors or have it do the thinking for you like our Smart AI washing machines and dryers, our homes will never be the same, but technology will continue to support and make our life easier.” said Jeremy Senior, Vice President of Consumer Electronics, Samsung Electronics Australia.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As one of the most diverse design award programs in the industry, the evaluation criteria for the Good Design Awards is reviewed and refined each year to ensure it is able to reflect the rapidly changing nature of professional design practice. All entries are evaluated on three overarching design criteria including Good Design, Design Innovation, and Design Impact, with Samsung’s products not only meeting the high criteria, but exceeding them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Samsung’s winning products, the Good Design Awards Jury said:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Samsung Odyssey G9</strong></h3>
<p>“<em>A sleek, futuristic, immersive, super wide (32:9), super curved gaming monitor that would comfortably fit on any Star Trek flight-deck! For gamers, this super ultra-wide display will astound, filling peripheral vision and creating an immersive experience like no other. It is beautifully tailored to the target consumer. It replaces the equivalent of 3 monitors, has great cable management and a surprisingly small footprint stand. Overall, very impressive indeed.”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Samsung The Frame TV</strong></h3>
<p><em>“The customisable frame is truly innovative and the concept fulfils what many are seeking from a large screen TV. This new generation, with thinner flush wall mounting, is a further improvement. The art mode has also been improved with lower energy consumption and cables and connections have been cleverly embedded. The design is slim, sleek and clean and really works as an art piece &#8230; and as a TV. Overall, this is a really impressive example of design and a standout project that ticks every box for good design in this category. Well done Samsung.”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Samsung Smart AI Laundry Range</strong></h3>
<p><em>“This Smart AI range has a simple but elegant style. The devices look clean and easy to use. The intuitive controls help the user select the ideal cycle, and the inclusive features like Braille signs for those with visual impairment make the devices easily accessible for everyone. Overall, these products are sleek and minimal in design, with impressive functionalities for optimized energy, water consumption and fabric care.”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Samsung French Door Refrigerator with Beverage Centre</strong></h3>
<p><em>“This is a stylish, well thought out solution to the family cold storage issue. The instant fill water jug is a great feature, while the clean exterior is modern and enticing.”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The winners of Australia&#8217;s peak industry design awards were announced online during the 2021 Good Design Week.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Receiving an Australian Good Design Award is testament to embedding design excellence at the heart of a product, service, place or experience. Although 2021 continues to be another challenging year, it is incredibly inspiring to see designers and businesses working together to find innovative, customer-centric design solutions to local and global challenges and to see them recognised and rewarded for their efforts through these prestigious Awards.” said Dr. Brandon Gien, CEO of Good Design Australia.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The importance of embracing good design principles is now more important than ever as many businesses around the world have had to completely re-think their business strategies to remain competitive. The standard of design excellence represented in this year’s Awards is the best I’ve ever seen in my 25 years of running these Awards, an encouraging sign that the design sector is flourishing.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 2021 Good Design Awards attracted a record number of submissions with an astonishing 933 design projects evaluated in this year’s international design awards.</p>
