Highlighted IFA 2025 Best of Innovation Award Winners

Bespoke AI Laundry Combo Wins Best in Design Award for Sleek Usability

In the home appliance category, the premium all-in-one washer-dryer Bespoke AI Laundry Combo[1] was recognised with a Best in Design award, highlighting the product’s excellence and advanced technology. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo offers the convenience of washing and drying in a single cycle, while also boasting a sleek design and a 7-inch touchscreen that enhances usability.

The Movingstyle Redefines Portable Display

The Movingstyle[2], a portable smart display that blends form and function, won two IFA Innovation Awards for Best in Home Entertainment and Best in Design. Transforming how people experience entertainment across their living spaces, The Movingstyle’s design is rooted in one simple, elegant idea: mobility should be effortless.

Inspired by the silhouette of a tote bag, the integrated handle is both a distinctive visual signature and a practical tool. With it, users can carry the 27” QHD touchscreen like a personal item, while the soft-wheeled floor stand glides smoothly between rooms. The Movingstyle also comes with a 2-in-1 One Action Stand that allows the screen to detach from the stand in a single motion, instantly becoming a self-supporting display without extra accessories.

The Premiere 5 Provides an Innovative Home Viewing Experience

As Samsung’s most compact triple-laser ultra-short-throw projector[3], The Premiere 5 also won two IFA Innovation Awards for Best in Home Entertainment and Best of Tech Innovation. At just a fraction of the size of conventional projectors, it projects screens up to 100 inches from just 43.3cm away — or 80 inches at 32.7cm and 60 inches at 22.2cm — enabling large-scale visuals even in small, aesthetic-conscious spaces.

Perhaps its most impressive feature is Touch Interaction[4], which is enabled by a built-in IR laser and camera that allows intuitive control of content, games, apps and workouts — creating interactive use cases across education, entertainment and home training.

The Freestyle+ Blends Smart Tech and Portability

The Freestyle+[5] is Samsung’s first portable smart projector to be embedded with both on-device and generative AI, which helped it to win the Best in Home Entertainment award. It is powered by Samsung’s proprietary AI Q Processor — the first AI chipset built into a smart projector — and features a built-in AI OptiScreen that includes seven built-in features that work together to straighten the image, maintain sharp focus, avoid obstacles, fit screen borders, adjust colour for wall tone, enhance visibility in different lighting and dim the light when someone steps into the beam.

The Freestyle+’s built-in generative AI model allows users to create their own ambient visuals directly from the projector, and AI Q-Symphony detects the device’s position and automatically syncs audio with Samsung speakers or soundbars to deliver immersive surround sound.

These awards were won on Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra’s suite of tools for effortless productivity, creativity and immersive gaming experiences. As a product, Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra combines ultra-performance with a thin and light design[6] to elevate creativity and power productivity on the go.

With the redesigned S Pen, powerful Samsung DeX and advanced Galaxy AI[7], it enables users to experience a new level of creativity, while its 14.6-inch[8] 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display delivers a seamlessly immersive gaming experience.

Galaxy Z Fold7 Combines Design and Next-Level Functionality for an Ultra-Smartphone Experience

Galaxy Z Fold7 won the Best in Communications & Connectivity award by bringing together the best of Galaxy design, camera functionality and AI innovation in the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold series to date. It delivers premium performance and the experience of an ultra-smartphone with a larger, more immersive display when unfolded.

Samsung brings The Premiere 5 – its first interactive triple-laser UST projector – to expand content experiences for Australians. Images simulated for illustrative purposes. Cables not shown.

Samsung Australia has today announced the pricing and availability of The Premiere 5 (LPF5D), the brand’s first interactive triple-laser ultra-short-throw (UST) projector. Designed to transform everyday places into immersive content spaces, The Premiere 5 introduces interactive touch floor projection capabilities[1], paired with up to 100-inches[2] of cinematic viewing possibilities, setting a new standard for premium home projectors.

The Premiere 5 is now available for $2,999 from Samsung’s Online Store and leading retailers nationwide including Harvey Norman.

The Premiere 5 comes in a stylish compact design that makes it easy to move and set up in various spaces around the home. Seamless smartphone integration[3] allows Australians to simply mirror content from the handheld device via SmartThings or Apple AirPlay 2 so the family can enjoy the content on a bigger screen.

Image is for illustrative purposes. Cables not shown.

The Premiere 5’s dedicated stand is equipped with an infrared camera and an infrared laser module to support touch-based operation. This means The Premiere 5 can transform the table or the floor it is being projected on into an interactive touch screen, enabling the family to engage in smartphone games, art, movies and more in up to 20-inches.

MultiView and Web Browser capabilities also ensures The Premiere 5’s touch enabled floor projection can be used for a variety of purposes such as education and business, beyond home entertainment.

“The Premiere 5 is designed to go beyond content to deliver immersive, engaging and memorable experiences that bring people together or support productivity in new ways,” said Simon Howe, Director – Audio Visual, Samsung Australia. “By combining Samsung’s big screen picture quality with a compact design and user-centric functionality, we are providing Australians with more screen options that enable them to use their screen tailored to the way that suits their needs.”

At the heart of the Premiere 5 is Samsung’s Triple Laser Technology, which delivers a wide range of vivid colours and high contrast without blur in screen ratios spanning 40-inches to 100-inches. Built-in Vision Booster detects the level of surrounding light and automatically adjusts the projector’s colour, contrast and brightness to help the screen remain clear, even in well-lit rooms.

The Premiere 5’s compact Ultra Short Throw design allows the projector to project cinematic experiences from 12cms of distance from the wall[4], saving space while maximising impact. Its compact form blends seamlessly into any home environment, making it a perfect fit for modern living spaces.

The Premiere 5 also redefines audio-visual harmony with its integrated sound system featuring Q-Symphony[5], Active Voice Amplifier Pro[6], and Adaptive Sound Pro. The 10W 2-channel speaker system delivers immersive audio that complements its stunning visuals, eliminating the need for external speakers and creating a cinematic experience.

The Premiere 5 can also be used as a standalone wireless speaker when the screen is not in use, with the ability to play music via a Bluetooth connection, Air Play or music casting[7].

Endless free content is packed into The Premiere 5 via Samsung’s Smart Hub, including access to 300+ free channels including Samsung TV Plus[8]. For gamers, the Premiere 5’s Gaming Hub offers instant access to popular gaming platforms and services, along with low latency and smooth performance for an uninterrupted gaming experience[9].

Custom Ambient Mode uses The Premiere 5’s Projecting Mapping Solution to project dynamic images to help create a mood or customise the ambiance of a space[10]. Instant set-up via the auto keystone and auto-focus features makes gaming, watching, working or relaxing simple.

The Premiere 5 also enables Australians to seamlessly manage their compatible Samsung and third-party devices through SmartThings. This includes the ability to monitor electricity usage, control lighting, be notified when wash cycles have finished, or view home cameras from the couch, making life easier, more secure, and more connected[11].

The Premiere 5 joins Samsung’s 2025 Projector line-up which includes The Premiere 7, Premiere 9 and The Freestyle.

The Premiere 5 is now available for $2,999 from Samsung’s Online Store and leading retailers nationwide including Harvey Norman.
