																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Australia has once again been recognised by Australians as a leading brand that puts consumer needs at the heart of its innovations, earning a suite of top honours at the 2026 Finder Customer Satisfaction Awards. With wins across TV, Mobile Phones and Home Appliance categories and awards for reliability, quality, performance and value, the accolades reflect a wide-spread consumer belief that Samsung continues to deliver some of the most recommended and most loved consumer electronics products for Australians.</p>
<p><span><img class="alignnone wp-image-8485 size-medium" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Finder-Customer-Satisfaction-Awards-1-1000x481.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="481" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Finder-Customer-Satisfaction-Awards-1-1000x481.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Finder-Customer-Satisfaction-Awards-1-768x369.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Finder-Customer-Satisfaction-Awards-1-1024x493.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Finder-Customer-Satisfaction-Awards-1.jpg 1447w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></span></p>
<p><span> </span><span>With wins across TV, Mobile Phones and Home Appliance categories and awards for reliability, quality, performance and value, the accolades reflect a wide-spread consumer belief that Samsung continues to deliver some of the most recommended and most loved consumer electronics products for Australians.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Unchallenged for seven years, Samsung has once again achieved the title of Australia’s ‘Most Loved TV brand’; the only brand to win this award since Finder launched the category in 2020. Samsung’s continued leadership reflects its commitment to offering a diverse range of AI-powered displays &#8211; from <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/micro-rgb-tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Micro RGB</a>, <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/oled-tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OLED</a> and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/mini-led-tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mini LED</a> panels to TVs featuring <a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/game-on-glare-off-australians-love-summer-sport-and-big-screens-but-hate-on-screen-glare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glare-Free</a> coatings, <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/lifestyle-tvs/the-frame/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Art Store</a>, and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/gaming-tv/gaming-hub/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">competitive gaming features</a> across various screen sizes – to ensure there is a screen to suit every Australian lifestyle and living space. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Samsung also claimed <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/smartphones/all-smartphones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia’s Most Recommended Mobile Phone brand</a>, while retaining the title of ‘Top-Quality’ Mobile Phone brand for the second consecutive year. The winning accolades closely follow the announcement of <a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/samsung-galaxy-z-fold8-ultra-z-fold8-and-z-flip8-foldables-perfected-for-every-way-of-living" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samsung’s new expanded Galaxy Z series line-up, opening a new chapter of foldable smartphone experiences</a> built to enhance productivity, discovery, and self-expression for Australians. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>“It’s an honour to be recognised by Australians for making smartphones that consumers are proud of and can confidently recommend to their friends and family,” said Eric Chou, Vice President of the Mobile eXperience (MX) Division at Samsung Australia. “At Samsung, we are proud to bring a range of smartphones and tablet devices that offer features and form factors to suit every Australian, offering consumers choice and reliability via devices designed to continually personalise and optimise to user needs over time.” </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Samsung also delivered an exceptional performance in home appliances, with <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/refrigerators/all-refrigerators/">Samsung’s Refrigerator line-up</a> securing a sweep across four categories including ‘Top Value’<strong>, ‘</strong>Most Reliable’<strong>, ‘</strong>Top Performance’ and<strong> ‘</strong>Most Recommended’. Furthermore, <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/washers-and-dryers/all-washers-and-dryers/">Samsung’s Top Load Washing Machines</a> were voted ‘Most Loved’ by Australians’, demonstrating a preference by Australians for large capacity connected appliances that can support individual and family routines and lifestyles easily, intelligently and reliably over a long period of time.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Beyond these wins, Samsung also collected a further 48 Highly Commended awards including three in Mobile Phones, five in Tablets, one in TV, eleven in Refrigeration, eighteen in Laundry and four in Air Purifier categories. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>“Samsung is focused on developing innovations across the home that feel like they have been made for Australians. It’s incredibly reassuring to see our TVs and home appliances recognised so strongly by the people who use them every day,” said Phil Gaut, Director of the Consumer Electronics Division at Samsung Australia. “Collecting consecutive wins in TV and laundry categories tells us we’re delivering real value, whether that’s via TVs designed to deliver art in bright Australian living rooms or appliances built to care about what Australians do like saving time, money and energy everyday.”</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>According to Taylor Blackburn, personal finance specialist at Finder, Samsung continues to stand out year after year as a brand that continues to deliver products Australians trust, recommend and genuinely love.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>“Our Finder Customer Satisfaction Awards survey 50,000 people – this is not a small sample size. Samsung’s repeated success across multiple categories across multiple years shows a clear pattern; Australians value reliability, quality and performance,” said Blackburn. “Whether it’s TVs, mobile phones or home appliances, consumers are rating Samsung highly. It’s no mean feat to be loved, trusted and recommended..” </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>In 2026<strong>,</strong> Finder independently surveyed over 50,000 Australians, asking them to rank the products and brands they use everyday across categories of most loved, best value, most reliable, great performance, easy to clean, easy to use and most recommended. Australian’s preferences are recognised as part of Finder’s Customer Satisfaction Awards program, helping further Australian consumers identify the products and brands that may suit their lifestyles as voted by like-minded consumers.</span></p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1508" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/sbs-news-pc.png" alt="" width="1000" height="379" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/sbs-news-pc.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/sbs-news-pc-768x291.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Samsung Electronics Australia has expanded its refrigerator offering, giving Australians more choice with the introduction of a new Side-by-Side range and upgraded French Door models. The additions to the refrigerator line-up deliver the latest in Samsung’s smart technology, design and modern styling, all ideally suited to Australian households.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The updated range meets the changing needs of Australians, both in terms of connected home functionality and style. With 80 per cent of Australians expressing a love for modern-looking, sleek appliances</span><sup>1</sup><span>, Samsung’s new Side-by-Side refrigerators come with the choice of a matte-black or silver stainless steel finish. Responding to consumer insights that show Australians consider black appliances most aligned with modern design</span><sup>3</sup><span>, Samsung now offers over 20 black refrigerators across the range.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>“Style is a high priority for Australians and when many are looking for the fridge that best suits their needs, they are not just evaluating on features and functionality, but the right look too,” said Jeremy Senior, Head of Consumer Electronics, Samsung Electronics Australia. “The kitchen is at the heart of many Australian households, it’s incredibly important that Samsung strives to provide the very best in design and innovation that continues to meet those needs.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Smart and Sophisticated</strong></span></h3>
<p><span>The new Samsung Side-by-Side refrigerator range features a stylish flat door design with recessed handles that is designed to fit in a standard Australian kitchen cavity</span><sup>2</sup><span>. The Side-by-Side range incorporates Samsung’s SpaceMax Technology</span><sup>TM</sup><span>, which uses high-efficiency insulation that keeps the internal walls thin, creating more storage space inside the fridge without increasing the external dimensions</span><sup>3</sup><span>. It also offers the option of a non-plumbed water and ice dispenser model</span><sup>4</sup><span>, meaning even Australians in rental properties can choose to enjoy chilled water or ice straight from the fridge door without the hassle of plumbing – just fill the 4.5L water jug inside and you’re good to go! Samsung has also introduced two new French Door models, one finished in black stainless steel – adding further to Samsung’s modern style offering – and the other in stainless steel finish. The new models are Samsung’s first fridges to boast smart capabilities outside of the Family Hub</span><sup>TM</sup><span> range, enabling more Australians to remotely control their refrigerator and its settings while home or on the go using the SmartThings app on their compatible smartphone</span><sup>5</sup><span>. Both also feature a new Bixby update that allows users to control their fridge using their voice, along with Samsung’s innovative Twin Cooling technology, Entertainer’s Drawer and flexible shelving.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>According to Senior, launching the new French Door models with integrated smart technology will make connected home experience accessible to more Australians: “At Samsung, we believe in meaningful innovation that delivers genuine human benefits. By introducing connected technology into our French Door range, we look forward to seeing more Australians enjoy the benefits of SmartThings and Bixby when managing their households.” Samsung’s new French Door and Side-by-Side range are available now from leading retailers.</span></p>
