																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics today announced the global rollout of its latest lineup of smart refrigerators, reinforcing the “Screens Everywhere” vision introduced at CES 2025. This expansion includes the introduction of the 9-inch AI Home screen<sup>1</sup> on the 4-Door, 4-Door French Door and Side-by-Side refrigerators, as well as an enhanced Family Hub screen on select French Door and Side-by-Side models. An enhanced AI Vision Inside<sup>2</sup> feature is integrated on select 4-Door and 4-Door French Door models, refining food identification and streamlining meal planning to ensure a more intuitive kitchen experience for users.</p>
<p>“By offering a wide array of refrigerator options across type and also screen sizes, we are expanding choices to meet diverse household requirements,” says Jeong Seung Moon, EVP and Head of the R&D Team for Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “Consumers can enjoy greater flexibility in choosing fridge designs while benefiting from the AI-powered smart home experience Samsung provides.”</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>A Smarter Way To Manage Food, Home, Family Communication and Entertainment</strong></span></h3>
<p>Samsung’s new refrigerators incorporate the intuitive 9” AI Home screen and 32” or 21.5” Family Hub screens, which are designed to enhance four key areas of daily life: Food, Home, Family Communication and Entertainment. The first category, food, is especially powered by the upgraded AI Vision Inside, which adds four more food items to the list of recognizable types for a total of 37. Furthermore, adding on to fresh food items, AI Vision Inside can now also recognize processed food items. Refrigerators with the enhanced AI Vision Inside will recognize and recommend users to save processed food items that have been placed inside multiple times, allowing up to 50 items to be saved with designated names.<sup>3</sup> Based on the improved food list, the screen will provide tailored recipe recommendations and meal planning,<sup>4</sup> making home cooking more seamless and personalized.</p>
<p>Beyond food, the screens also enhance smart home connectivity. The latest advancements provide deeper integration into the smart home ecosystem, making the refrigerator a central hub capable of controlling connected appliances throughout the entire home. With the integration of Map View, users can monitor and control Samsung appliances and even third-party smart home devices<sup>5</sup> like lights and smart plugs. There’s also SmartThings Energy,<sup>6</sup> which helps users track and optimize their energy consumption, facilitating greater efficiency in everyday life. The intuitive display provides users with access to a great deal of information about their home, with users also being able to issue voice commands through Bixby.<sup>7</sup></p>
<p>The new Daily Board feature keeps everyone informed and connected. Placed at the heart of the home, the refrigerator screen delivers real-time updates throughout the day — whether it’s the morning weather and schedule before heading to work, or daily energy consumption reports in the evening. Users can also easily access their schedules through voice commands and receive tailored responses. By recognizing each family member’s voice and replying accordingly, Bixby will serve as both a helpful assistant for the entire household and for each person individually.<sup>8</sup> Additional family-focused features include a shared gallery for storing precious memories and a calendar to help with daily planning.</p>
<p>Samsung’s latest refrigerators also redefine entertainment in the kitchen, allowing users to stay engaged while cooking or spending time with family. With Spotify integration, users can listen to their favorite music or podcasts directly from their fridge.<sup>9</sup> SmartView Mirroring enables seamless screen sharing from smartphones or Samsung TVs, and the dedicated gallery feature lets families display their favorite photos, adding a personal touch to the kitchen.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>The Next Generation of Refrigeration</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-160562" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Digital-Appliances-Refrigerator-Screens-Everywhere-AI-Hybrid-Cooling-Enhanced-AI-Vision-Inside_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="562" /></p>
<p>The 4-Door Refrigerator is designed to meet the needs of modern households with its innovative features.<sup>10</sup> The 9” AI Home applied on select models allows the refrigerator to integrate seamlessly with the smart home ecosystem. Models that incorporate Hybrid Cooling technology<sup>11</sup> keep produce fresh for even longer, while also allowing extra space<sup>12</sup> by utilizing a peltier module that is compact in size for cooling. By utilizing the conventional compressor and the Peltier module together, AI Hybrid Cooling is capable of providing additional cooling whenever necessary, such as when the internal temperature increases or when AI predicts a potential rise.<sup>13</sup> When users put in a large amount of groceries after shopping or open the door multiple times in the summer, the Peltier module will assist the compressor to maintain a consistent internal temperature.</p>
<p>The 4-Door Refrigerator also comes in Kitchen Fit design, allowing agile installation that requires only a tiny gap of just 4mm from the sides and 20mm from the top. Also, the refrigerator’s doors have been enhanced with SpaceMax<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> insulation technology that uses less amount of high-efficiency insulation, increasing the space in the doors by 56% compared to previous models equaling 10L in capacity.<sup>14</sup> Users can also enjoy convenience with the wide opening door that opens more than 90 degrees, and the food showcase to store frequently used items.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-160561" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Digital-Appliances-Refrigerator-Screens-Everywhere-AI-Hybrid-Cooling-Enhanced-AI-Vision-Inside_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="562" /></p>
<p>The 4-Door French Door Refrigerator, launching in North America, is available in various configurations, including a 32” Family Hub and a 9” AI Home. This flexibility allows users to choose the best fit for their kitchen. The Auto Open Door<sup>15</sup> feature ensures hassle-free accessibility with just a gentle tap, making it accessible to everyone in all kinds of situations to effortlessly access the inside of the fridge. It also has a Beverage Center that includes a water dispenser and a 1.4L Auto-Fill Water Pitcher that is dishwasher safe<sup>16</sup> and BPA free.<sup>17</sup> Apart from ensuring that fresh, filtered water is always available, the pitcher also allows users to infuse their water with fruits and herbs.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-160563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Samsung-Digital-Appliances-Refrigerator-Screens-Everywhere-AI-Hybrid-Cooling-Enhanced-AI-Vision-Inside_main3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="566" /></p>
<p>The Side-by-Side Refrigerator also offers multiple screen options, including the 21.5” Family Hub and 9” AI Home.<sup>18</sup> The model, featuring an Auto Open Door that opens up widely makes it simpler to reach stored items,<sup>19</sup> is designed for users who prioritize easy access and organization. Select European models are equipped with Hybrid Cooling technology — as seen in the 4-Door refrigerator — to maintain freshness by preventing temperature fluctuations.</p>
<p>All three types of refrigerators come with the AI Energy Mode feature, allowing users to reduce energy consumption by up to an additional 10%.<sup>20</sup> Users can choose to activate the mode always or when electricity bills are expected to exceed the preset target.</p>
<p>With these latest innovative solutions, Samsung continues to push the boundaries of the connected kitchen, transforming the refrigerator into an intelligent hub that enhances food management, smart home integration and entertainment. By seamlessly blending AI-enabled convenience with energy efficiency, Samsung is redefining how users interact with their appliances and bringing the future of the smart home to life.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small"><em><sup>1</sup> A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required to access the AI Home, our network-based service, including apps, and other smart features available through your refrigerator. You may need to use a separate device e.g. your laptop/desktop or mobile device, to create/log into a Samsung Account. If you choose not to log-in, you will not be able to enjoy any features available on the AI Home, such as the services available on the SmartThings App and the phone call features.

<sup>12</sup> Based on internal testing, compared to existing Samsung RF9000D model (RF65DG9H*-Global, RF23DB99*-NA/LATAM)<br />
<sup>13</sup> The Peltier element is a semiconductor-based component that cools using just electricity, without refrigerant. It operates when either the temperature in the refrigerator rises above the normal range or AI predicts that the temperature will rise in 5 minutes due to a long period of food storage or cleaning, based on an analysis of the user’s refrigerator opening and closing pattern.<br />
<sup>14</sup> Based on internal testing, compared to Samsung RF60DB9KF*** model launched in Korea. The capacity may vary by models, region, and feature specifications.<br />
<sup>15</sup> An automatic closing function is not available. The actual angle that the doors open may vary due to the installation circumstances and usage conditions, like storing heavy items in the door bins. The user may need to adjust how the refrigerator is installed if the doors don’t open properly. The touch sensors can be turned on/off from the display or SmartThings app and the default setting is ‘Off’. The Auto Open Door function may be activated inadvertently by contact with any body part or by a child or pet.<br />
<sup>16</sup> Tested for 125 cycles in accordance with the “Mechanical dishwashing resistance of utensils” test method (BS EN 12875-1:2005) and certified as dishwasher safe by SGS.<br />
<sup>17</sup> Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, which are often used in food and beverage containers, and has been linked with possible adverse health effects.<br />
<sup>18</sup> Available in Europe, Southeast Asia, China, the Middle East, Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).<br />
<sup>19</sup> You can select the door opening level using the SmartThings App (SmartThings is available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required). The ‘Wide-open’ option automatically opens the door by an angle of 80 degrees or more, but the door does not close automatically. The ‘Semi-open’ option reduces the force required to open the door, and automatically closes the door after a certain period of time if the door is left open. The actual angle that the doors open may vary due to the installation circumstances and usage conditions, like storing heavy items in the door bins.<br />
<sup>20</sup> The test results are based on a comparison of the factory setting temperature when using AI Energy mode and without using AI Energy mode. Results may vary depending on the usage conditions and patterns. AI Energy Mode can be activated in SmartThings Energy, which is available on Android and iOS devices. SmartThings Energy requires Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account.</em></span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-150457" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Latest-Home-Appliance-Lineup-BESPOKE-AI_main1-Final.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="561" /></p>
<p>Samsung Electronics today showcases its latest home appliance lineup at the press conference held in the global launch event, ‘Welcome to ‘BESPOKE AI,’<sup>1</sup> which takes place in three locations <span>—</span> Seoul, Paris and New York City. Samsung shares its vision for how connectivity amongst them can improve the overall experience at home and how artificial intelligence (AI) enhances the performance of appliances.</p>
<p>Jong-Hee (JH) Han, Vice Chairman, CEO and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics, kicked off the marathon of events by opening the media event at the Seoul ‘Welcome to BESPOKE AI’ by describing how Samsung home appliances not only perform well with the usual tasks but can do more than previously imagined with AI applied. Especially with screens added to the refrigerator, induction range and laundry machine, Bespoke appliances become a platform for entertainment, as well as an easy-to-access control hub for other connected Samsung appliances through SmartThings.</p>
<p>“Since the first introduction of BESPOKE in 2019, Samsung Electronics has presented to the market on how appliances can be customized to best fit each user’s home and lifestyle,” said JH Han. “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>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Bespoke AI Appliances Sync To Create New Experiences in Various Home Spaces</strong></span></h3>
<p>With built-in Wi-Fi, internal cameras, AI chips and compatibility with the SmartThings application, Samsung’s latest Bespoke AI appliances come with enhanced features and connectivity to lay the foundation for a truly smart home. Also, the new AI Home, a connected 7-inch LCD display that has been added to multiple products, provides intuitive, easy access and control over the whole connected ecosystem.</p>
<p>The AI Home includes 3D Map View, a feature that provides users with a full 3D view of the house, allowing them to easily locate all the appliances that are connected and control them. When users are cooking in the kitchen and feel that the temperature is too hot, for instance, they could turn on the air conditioner in other rooms through the AI Home on the induction range<sup>2</sup> without leaving the pots and pans unattended. While doing laundry, they could also start the robot vacuum cleaner in the living room from the AI Home on the washing machine, without having to make the journey back and forth. Also, users can receive calls coming to their phones through the AI Home, allowing them to answer timely while also continuing the housework they were doing. Moreover, the AI Home not only makes housework easier, but more enjoyable as well. Users can play their favorite songs, watch videos on the Internet app or refer to recipes on the screen while they are cooking.</p>
<p>Considering how people have mobile phones with them most of the time, Mobile Smart Connect is a new feature that pushes an alert to the phone when it is at close range with registered appliances. The pop-up notification includes quick control menu to execute key functions for the appliance directly from the phone, so users no longer have to search the house, looking for the actual remote control.<sup>3</sup> This eliminates even the few steps and clicks<sup>4</sup> that were required to access same features in the SmartThings application.</p>
<p>At the BESPOKE AI event, Samsung also showcases the new feature ‘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>To provide assurance to users as they step into the era of hyper-connected home appliances driven by technological advancement, Samsung also highlighted its comprehensive Knox security platform that protects all user data located on the connected appliances. In fact, the 4-Door French Door Refrigerator with AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><sup>5</sup> became the first product in the industry to be verified to level ‘Diamond’ for its IoT security capabilities by UL Solutions, a leading global safety science company that evaluates hundreds of marketing claims each year. Other Family Hub models<sup>6</sup> applying the same technology, and the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> AI have also achieved the same verification.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>AI Expands Spectrum of Features to Samsung Home Appliances</strong></span></h3>
<p>The most distinctive difference between the three events, other than the location, is the product lineup unveiled during the respective press conferences, which reflects the actual appliances that will launch in each market.</p>
<p>The Seoul ‘BESPOKE AI’ event started off with the biggest lineup among the three locations with 14 new products including: the Bespoke French Door Refrigerator with AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />+, Bespoke Infinite Induction Line, Bespoke AI Laundry Combo<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, Bespoke Jet Bot Combo<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> AI, Bespoke Jet AI<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, Bespoke Cube<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Air Infinite Line, the new 2024 4-Door refrigerator incorporating peltier technology and more.</p>
<p>The 4-Door French Door Refrigerator with AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><sup>7</sup> is the primary control center for all things food, connecting the refrigerator to other appliances in the home. The AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />+,<sup>8</sup> which is the large LCD screen in the front right panel of the refrigerator, is the key to intuitive AI experiences, where users can view recommended recipes and play music and videos for kitchen entertainment. The 4-Door French Door Refrigerator with AI Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> comes with AI Vision Inside<sup>9</sup> which uses an internal camera to identify 33 fresh food items that go in and out of the fridge. The recognized food items are listed and managed on the Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> display and can also be checked on the SmartThings app.<sup>10</sup></p>
<p>Another key product is the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> AI, a robot vacuum and mop cleaner with AI-enhanced features including intelligent AI Recognition. The intelligent AI Recognition performs in different ways. The AI Object Recognition uses the AI Deep Neural Network (DNN) model and camera to recognize various objects<sup>11</sup> including humans,<sup>12</sup> pets<sup>13</sup> and hard-to-see items like thin phone cables and rugs or mats. The AI Floor Detect senses the type of floor to clean, and when carpets are detected, the robot vacuum decides whether to lift up its mop or to go and leave the mop at its station to avoid contaminating the carpet with its wet mop. It also comes with the Clean Station Steam+ which brings a range of features for automatically maintaining the device, such as emptying the dust bag, refilling the water tank, washing and intensively steam cleaning<sup>14</sup> the mop. The Clean Station Steam+ even sprays high-temperature steam<sup>15</sup> onto the mop’s surface, reducing 99.99% of harmful bacteria.<sup>16</sup></p>
<p>As energy-saving is an important criteria in the European market, the Paris ‘BESPOKE AI’<sup>17</sup> event additionally introduced the new energy-efficient, extra wide fridge freezer<sup>18</sup> and the washer lineup. The extra wide fridge freezer has received “A” grade according to European energy standards thanks to Samsung’s new AI Inverter Compressor. The new washer lineup includes various models from A-10%, A-20% and even an A-40% extra energy saving model. Especially, the A-40% extra energy efficient model is equipped with Bubble Shot Technology, which saves water and cycle time by pumping up the water inside the drum and spraying it on top of the clothes.</p>
<p>The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, presented at both Seoul and NYC events, is the All-in-One washer and dryer, providing the advantages of two separate appliances while freeing up valuable space. It comes with various AI features, such as remembering the periodic and seasonal needs of users and recommending the optimal cycle for the wash.<sup>19</sup> With AI Opti Wash & Dry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> intelligently adjusts the washing and drying performance for each load and senses the weight of the laundry to dispense the appropriate amount of water and detergent. It also detects the fabric<sup>20</sup> and monitors the level of soiling during a cycle. If necessary, it adds more detergent and varies the washing time. It then adjusts the drying process to suit the weight and fabric type of users’ laundry. After finishing the cycle, users can monitor how much energy and water were consumed through the report provided on the SmartThings App.<sup>21</sup></p>
<p>A unique appliance introduced only at the New York event held in Samsung 837 was the Bespoke Slide-in Range with AI Home. This product is a multi-functional induction range that also comes with various fun factors. It comes with an Internal Oven Camera that lets users see inside the oven from remote places, like on the TV<sup>22</sup> from the living room, or even from outside the home through SmartThings on their mobile phones. With this, users can even get a short time-lapse video clip<sup>23</sup> with the highlight of the cooking process that they can share on social media.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Samsung is showcasing its vision of implementing generative AI to home appliances within this year. Especially, Bixby, Samsung’s voice assistant, will be a key in this. Generative AI will allow Bixby to go one step further from the current ability of being able to execute one order at a time, comprehending complex sentences and engaging in natural conversations. First of all, it will be able to understand compound demands like “Turn on the air conditioner to Wind Free mode, and let me know how the weather is.” It can also retain context from previous interactions for continuity, so if the user instructs Bixby to turn off the air purifier and then add, “Oh, and the TV, too,” Bixby can assist both requests. Users will also be able to rely on Bixby to come up with solutions, simply saying “the living room feels humid,” and ask “what should I do with all the potatoes I bought yesterday?” Bixby will interpret these multi-layered tasks and respond naturally to users’ prompts.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Advancing the Future of Appliances</strong></span></h3>
<p>Samsung is not only dedicated to presenting a better home experience, but also committed to creating more innovative and efficient products. The event was especially meaningful in the context that it not only introduced the new product lineups and features Samsung is launching, but also announced globally how all Wi-Fi connected appliances including those that customers already own, can change.</p>
<p>Samsung continues to upgrade Wi-fi connected appliances in the market and already in users’ homes through software updates and the development of SmartThings. Users can enjoy new features even with old models, and more energy saving features with products that were already bought. Smart Forward,<sup>24</sup> announced for the first time at the event, is a service that provides the newest features, security patches and upgrades through regular software updates. Users will be able to check available update information and receive notifications from the SmartThings App.<sup>25</sup> This ensures users with peace of mind and also contributes to reducing the frequency of appliance replacements.</p>
<p>SmartThings also continues to evolve, allowing users to save additionally on their energy usage after purchasing a product. Features such as Optimal Charging,<sup>26</sup> for example, are added so users can strategically plan out their energy use. SmartThings Energy allows users to easily monitor and control the amount of energy consumed by the connected Samsung appliances. Samsung also plans to launch its new Samsung Rewards program in the near future, which will allow users to get stamps each day if they save a certain amount of energy using AI Energy mode. Accumulated stamps can be converted and used at Samsung.com, Samsung Galaxy store and other Samsung purchase platforms.</p>
<p>To make efforts more impactful, Samsung introduces collaborations it made to implement solutions resulting in tangible reductions of energy use, while also making lives more convenient for users. Through a partnership with British Gas, linking SmartThings Energy’s Auto Demand Response feature with British Gas’ PeakSave, Samsung allows users to easily enjoy economic benefits through saving energy.</p>
<p>As a crucial player in the home appliance industry, Samsung revealed a goal to utilize next generation technologies for purposes beyond creating innovative products. It is about using engineering solutions that prolong product lifecycles, and reduce the frequency of replacements. Some of the methods introduced in the press conference include: Hybrid Cooling, newly incorporating the newly installed high-power ‘Peltier’ thermoelectric components in addition to the compressor resulting in improved cooling efficiency and performance, and low-maintenance filters for air purifiers obliterating the need for filter purchases or replacements.</p>
<p>Product safety is also an important factor that Samsung prioritizes, and Samsung strives to achieve and expand certifications to prove its product liability across all appliance categories, including reduced fire risk (RFR) certification for new products. This will assure that the certified appliances<sup>27</sup> are designed to effectively prevent fire incidents caused by the product.</p>
<p>At the end of the event, Samsung also revealed that it is collaborating with Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” (coming to theaters June 14<sup>28</sup>), to communicate the features of the new Bespoke AI Laundry Combo<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. A new co-branded teaser video was shown that featured Inside Out 2 clips and showcased how, with the new washing machine, you can take the stressful emotions out of laundry with AI Bubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics received a total of 71 awards, including three Gold Awards, at the International Forum (iF) Design Award 2022, a prestigious German international design competition. Samsung Electronics received Gold Awards for its portable screen The Freestyle, mobile phone Galaxy Z Flip3 and wireless vacuum cleaner Bespoke Slim. This year Samsung received the most awards out of 11,000 submissions from 57 countries.</p>
<p>Founded in 1953 as Die Gute Industrieform e.V., the iF Design Award conducts comprehensive evaluations of differentiation and impact, among others, in a total of nine categories — Product, Packaging, Communication, Professional Concept, Interior Architecture, Architecture, Service Design, User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI).</p>
<p>“It is important for a design to connect the changing values with innovative technologies,” said Jinsoo Kim, Executive Vice President at Corporate Design Center in Samsung Electronics. “We are committed to offering a meaningful experience that both meets the various demands of customers and improves the quality of our lives.”</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Three Gold Award Winning Products Recognized for Designs That Offer Customized Experiences to Different Lifestyles</strong></span></h3>
<p>The Freestyle is a portable screen that can display as large as 254cm in diagonal length depending on the environment where it is used, be it on the wall, the ceiling or the floor as it rotates 180 degrees.</p>
<p>Thanks to its lightweight and minimal design, The Freestyle is highly portable, allowing the user to hold it in one hand, and can be used with ease both indoors and outside such as on camping sites. Depending on each individual lifestyle, it can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker or as an ambient lamp that can glow light in various colors.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-131627" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/iF-Design-Award-Gold-main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /></p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip3 was honored for its iconic and compact design that comes with premium features and exclusive foldable experiences, providing a truly personalized smartphone experience. With Galaxy Z Flip3’s unique form factor, users are able to enjoy the full smartphone experience when unfolded and pocketable design when folded in half. Not only is the design refined by providing a large Cover Screen, but it also maximizes the usability by allowing users to view notifications and capture a quick photo even when folded.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-131628" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/iF-Design-Award-Gold-main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="706" /></p>
<p>The vacuum cleaner The Bespoke Slim also won the Gold Award for its simple design that blends well with the surrounding living space. The Bespoke concept, which brings customized products to fit lifestyles and tastes, was applied to the product, improving the experience throughout the entire cleaning process from product storage to dust emptying.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-131621" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/iF-Design-Award-Gold-main3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="706" /></p>

<p>Samsung Electronics today announced the global launch of the Bespoke French Door Refrigerator, beginning in the United States and expanding to regions across the world by the end of the year. Initially unveiled at CES 2022, the new model is available in a choice of 3-door and 4-door configurations, and with options that include Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. With the launch, the Bespoke lineup now includes a model fit for every family’s needs.</p>
<p>Combining unique and customizable designs with Samsung’s latest storage and cooling innovations, the new line offers consumers the refrigerator they’ve always wanted with the convenience they truly need. A choice of 12 stylish glass and steel finishes allows families to pick the perfect look to complement their kitchen, while SpaceMax<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology ensures they can comfortably store all their groceries for all types of cooking.</p>
<p>“The launch of our Bespoke French Door Refrigerator expands the consumers’ choice for types of refrigerators by bringing the customization and convenience Bespoke users know and love,” said Hyesoon Yang, Head of Customer Experience of the Digital Appliances at Samsung Electronics. “Combining spacious capacity with a customizable design that maximizes flexibility in the kitchen, this expansion of the lineup will empower more consumers to experience new ways of living.”</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Your Fridge Your Way</strong></span></h3>
<p>Available in a variety of stylish colors and finishes, the Bespoke French Door Refrigerator empowers families to transform their kitchen to personalize to their lifestyle. The refrigerator’s neat and modern styling includes interchangeable panels, flat doors and recessed handles for a seamless built-in look.</p>
<p>The elegance of the design ensures that it will not look out of place when installed alongside existing appliances and cabinets. Integrating the water and ice dispensers into the appliance’s interior emphasizes the design’s stylish simplicity.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-131247" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/New-Bespoke-French-Door-Refrigerator_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="683" /></p>
<p>A choice of 12 glass and steel finishes invites families to be creative when selecting the perfect refrigerator design for their kitchen. Glass finishes include Charcoal, Grey, Pink, White, as well as new Clean Sunrise Yellow, Clementine and Morning Blue. Steel finishes include Matte Black, Navy, Stainless, Tuscan and new Emerald Green.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Convenient Features Maximize Performance</strong><strong> </strong></span></h3>
<p>The Bespoke French Door Refrigerator comes packed with Samsung’s latest cooling and storage innovations. These convenient features provide families with freshly filtered water and offer them the freedom to customize cooling settings.</p>
<p>Built into the refrigerator’s interior to reduce the risk of contamination, the Beverage Center<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> offers fast and easy access to refreshingly cold and naturally flavored water. As soon as it is placed inside the fridge, the dishwasher safe<sup>1</sup> and BPA free<sup>2</sup> Autofill Pitcher automatically fills with purified water, which can be infused with fruits and herbs to create deliciously flavored beverages.</p>
<p>The Dual Auto Ice Maker produces both Cubed Ice and Ice Bites<sup>TM</sup>, which are smaller than ice cubes and can chill drinks much faster. It is capable of producing 5.3lbs (2.4kg) of ice per day and stores up to 9.9lbs (4.5kg)<sup>3</sup> <span>—</span> twice the amount of other ice makers. Its sliding cover makes it easy to use an ice scoop and helps protect ice from exposure to air when the freezer door is open.</p>
<p>The refrigerator’s FlexZone<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><sup>4</sup> helps keep foods fresher for longer by storing them under optimal conditions. With five pre-set temperature modes, including Soft Freeze, Meat/Fish, Beverage, Deli and Wine, this independently controlled compartment offers families the flexibility to store a wide range of items depending on their needs.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Bigger Is Better</strong></span></h3>
<p>Modern families require fridges that cater to their cooking style with maximized storage space and preservation of freshness. With enhancements that create more room for families’ must-have items, the Bespoke French Door Refrigerator makes it easier for households to store more food more efficiently.</p>
<p>The 4-door model features 29 cubic feet of internal capacity, while the 3-door model features 30 cubic feet. The models’ spacious designs were made possible in part thanks to Samsung’s SpaceMax<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Technology. High-efficiency insulation enabled the refrigerator’s interior walls to be made thinner, creating more room for groceries.</p>
<p>With more households consuming fresh produce these days, the large-capacity Big Veggie Box offers a convenient space to keep all kinds of fruits and vegetables fresh. The compartment sends away messy fridges and wilted vegetables to the past by storing foods longer at optimal temperature. Creating more room for fresh produce saves space on the fridge’s shelves while also helping families save time and trips to the store.</p>
<p>The New Big Pantry,<sup>5</sup> meanwhile, is a dedicated drawer that allows families to store much more meat, poultry and other delicate ingredients like fish. Pre-prepared foods and meal kits fit perfectly inside so the fridge’s interior shelves can be kept neat and organized. There’s even a dedicated space for canned drinks to be stored upright.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>More Fun With Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong></span></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-131248" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/New-Bespoke-French-Door-Refrigerator_main3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="662" /></p>
<p>The availability of Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> adds new layers of fun and efficiency to managing the whole kitchen and household. The platform’s features have been expanded for 2022 to make it even easier for families to stay connected, organized and entertained.</p>
<p>Now, in addition to sharing photos and messages, families can use Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> to watch Samsung TV Plus, listen to music and enjoy continuous viewing experiences by mirroring content from their Samsung Smart TV or Samsung Galaxy smartphone.<sup>6</sup> View Inside lets families remotely peek inside their fridge, tag food types and create shopping lists and reminders, and has been upgraded to identify items more accurately.</p>
<p>With new built-in Alexa support, Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> also allows consumers to access key Amazon<sup>7</sup> services right from their refrigerator.

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics’ Bespoke line of home appliances offers products that reflect the evolving lifestyle of consumers worldwide, marrying Samsung’s advanced technologies with customizable aesthetics. Ingrained into the design principle of Bespoke is the creative exploration of new ideas that inspire joy and innovation, which is why Samsung is continually partnering with artists to offer fresh new concepts that inspire self-expression and everyday creativity with Bespoke products.</p>
<p>This year, Samsung has added limited-edition panel art in collaboration with artist Alex Proba to its collection of exclusive Bespoke designs. The panels are on display at Samsung 837 in New York and the flagship Samsung Electronics store in Seoul, and limited editions are available for purchase in the U.S.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Adding New Dimensions to the Bespoke Experience</strong></span></h3>
<p>Through past collaborations with artists <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/bespoke-exclusive-collection-interviews-artist-thibaud-herem-on-how-his-intricate-landscapes-came-to-life-on-bespoke-panels" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thibaud Hérem</a><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/bespoke-exclusive-collection-interviews-artist-andy-rementer-on-bringing-his-pop-art-world-to-the-bespoke-refrigerator" target="_blank" rel="noopener">, Andy Rementer</a> and <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/bespoke-exclusive-collection-interviews-3-hays-mette-hay-on-the-inspiration-behind-hays-colors-for-the-bespoke" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Danish lifestyle brand HAY</a>, Samsung’s Bespoke appliances were transformed into statement pieces as these artists explored the limits of Bespoke’s customizability. French illustrator Hérem took inspiration from European architecture, while U.S. pop artist Rementer highlighted diversity with colorful portraits of communities, and HAY developed custom-blends of colors inspired by natural food ingredients.</p>
<p>“Our Bespoke collaborations serve as a gateway for exploring aspirational design, transforming standard home appliances into art,” said MH Bu, Head of Design Team, Digital Appliances, Samsung Electronics. “It’s always exciting partnering with artists to see what their creativity will bring to the Bespoke line and how it can reimagine home designs around the world.”</p>

<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Finding Inspiration in Everyday Moments</strong></span></h3>
<p>Proba is the founder of Brooklyn and Portland-based design studio <a href="https://www.studioproba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">StudioPROBA</a>. She describes the inspiration for her art as coming from shapes and colors that evoke positive memories and happiness. The artist has worked with hundreds of global brands <span>on several art pieces</span> <span>—</span> including graphic, environmental and furniture design, as well as artwork.</p>
<p>Proba’s partnership with Samsung began when she was invited to design a room in Samsung’s product experience space, Samsung 837. Located in New York’s iconic Meatpacking district, Samsung 837 is a showroom where visitors can enjoy interactive experiences including virtual reality exhibitions, music performances and design installations such as the Bespoke My Home stages where Proba’s projects were first displayed.</p>
<p>Divided into three arrangements <span>—</span> Kitchen, Lounge and Studio <span>—</span> the spaces are designed by local artists reflecting their stylistic visions. Ceramics artist, Aliza Simons of Brooklyn based Henry Street Studio, designed the kitchen with earthy tones integrating various ceramics. Furniture designer, Stephen Burks arranged the lounge space creating a cozy and relaxing vibe by combining his unique style with Bespoke’s customizable designs. And Proba designed The Studio to reflect her own décor melding joyful colors and abstract shapes, and even including some of her personal belongings into the display.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Bringing Nature Inside via a New Medium</strong></span></h3>
<p>Thanks to this latest collaboration project, Proba’s exclusive designs for the Bespoke 4-Door Flex refrigerator are now available for consumer homes. “My work explores joy and happiness using colorful patterns and shapes inspired by nature,” said Proba. “Designing for Samsung’s Bespoke refrigerator was a new adventure for me, and a way for my art to transcend traditional mediums <span>—</span> bringing vibrant color with abstract patterns to unexpected places.”</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-130965" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Bespoke-Alex-Proba-collab_main2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We live in a fast-changing world that requires us to be constantly innovating and adapting. In line with this trend, Samsung Electronics’ latest products and technologies propose exciting new directions for various aspects of daily life.</p>
<p>CES 2022 offers visitors and online viewers an opportunity to see for themselves how Samsung has been innovating for the future. From displays and home appliances, to products and services that raise the bar for innovation, the company’s showcase at the world’s largest technology show offers a peek at what our daily lives will look like very soon.</p>
<p>Samsung’s CES 2022 booth is full of eye-catching innovations. But which products and technologies will viewers and visitors absolutely not want to miss? To answer that question, Samsung Newsroom went straight to the source, asking the experts behind the innovations which ones they think deserve a closer look.</p>
<p>In part one of this two-part series, Telly Lee, Vice President of Samsung’s Home Appliances Division and Jungrae Kim of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business will explain how Samsung designed its latest home appliances and portable screen to cater to consumers’ evolving lifestyles.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>The Bespoke Kitchen: Home Appliances That Evolve in Line With Users’ Changing Lives</strong></span></h3>
<div id="attachment_129816" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-129816" class="wp-image-129816 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CES-experts-behind-innovative-1_main1F.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /><p id="caption-attachment-129816" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Telly Lee, Vice President of Samsung’s Home Appliances Division and Head of the Kitchen Product Planning Group, with Samsung’s Bespoke French Door refrigerators</p></div>
<p><strong>Q: What can you tell us about the home appliance products and technologies that are being showcased at CES 2022?</strong></p>
<p>We are going to focus on introducing the Bespoke kitchen, in which refrigerators and colors are unified to great effect. The Bespoke kitchen begins with our flagship Bespoke refrigerators. We’ve expanded the Bespoke range to FDR (French Door refrigerators) in the U.S. market in 4-door and 3-door models. This represents a significant expansion of our lineup following the release of Bespoke refrigerators in 4-Door Flex, Bottom Mount Freezer and 1-Door Column types in 2021.</p>
<p>One unique point of innovation for Samsung’s Bespoke refrigerator is the Beverage Center. Featuring a water dispenser hidden inside the door, the Beverage Center offers a convenient, hygienic solution that enables the fridge to feature a smooth exterior. Along with the new Bespoke refrigerators, we’re also showcasing other vibrant and colorful products that are part of the Bespoke kitchen like oven ranges and dishwashers.</p>
<p>These days, we’re seeing more customers in the U.S. choose modern designs for their kitchens. With Bespoke, we want to show that it’s possible to decorate your kitchen based on your individual tastes with a palette that includes colors that blend in with your interior, as well as accent colors.</p>
<p>At CES, we are also showcasing SmartThings Cooking, a service that introduces connected experiences to the kitchen. With this service, users can receive recipe recommendations and information to help them save time on both prep and cooking. SmartThings Cooking recommends recipes that fit your tastes and dietary restrictions, then builds meal plans to match. As you’re cooking, it also sends recipe instructions directly to synced Samsung cooking devices.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What are some unique or attractive aspects of the new Bespoke offerings that you don’t want visitors at CES to miss?</strong></p>
<p>First, I’d like to underline the expansion of the Bespoke range, which gives consumers who want their refrigerator to reflect their preferences in terms of color and materials even more options to choose from. Since launching Bespoke in the U.S. in 2021, we’ve seen continuous demand for this type of customization. Delivering on this is one of the reasons we added the French Door refrigerator to our 2022 Bespoke refrigerator lineup. The panels come in twelve colors, which means that there are over 20,000 possible color combinations for a four-door refrigerator alone. I am confident that no other refrigerator offers customers this much choice.</p>
<p>Another can’t-miss aspect is the features. The Beverage Center, for instance includes a 1.4-liter AutoFill water pitcher, as well as a Dual Auto Ice Maker that holds up to 4.1kg of ice. What’s more, the FlexZone offers five different temperature modes to keep ingredients like meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables at optimal temperatures. These unique features help bring greater convenience to users’ daily lives.</p>
<p>Users also get to experience an even smarter kitchen with Family Hub, which is included in the latest Bespoke refrigerator lineup. By using the large screen on the front of the refrigerator users can enjoy music and videos in the kitchen and control kitchen appliances and smart devices too. With a screen that integrates seamlessly into the door panel, and with a highly aesthetic design and minimized bezels, the Bespoke Family Hub is capable of blending into any space.</p>
<p>Last but not least, we are introducing the Bespoke Atelier app that we first launched in Korea to the global market. The app offers access to more than 170 works of art from global artists, covering various periods, trends and themes. It recommends works of art and allows you to create your own gallery of sorts by customizing your display to suit your tastes. In addition, when users display an artwork in listening mode, they’ll be able to hear a description of the art with subtitles. This makes it feel like you’re enjoying a guided tour an art museum from the comfort of your kitchen.</p>
<div id="attachment_129817" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-129817" class="wp-image-129817 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CES-experts-behind-innovative-1_main2F.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="581" /><p id="caption-attachment-129817" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Samsung’s Bespoke Family Hub refrigerator</p></div>
<p><strong>Q: Our way of life has changed dramatically over the past two years, with technology that connects people becoming more important as contactless ways of doing things increasingly become the norm. What kind of impact do you think the products and technologies showcased at CES 2022 will have on people’s lives?</strong></p>
<p>As users have begun to spend more and more time at home, their lives have become more “home-centric”. We expect this trend to continue in 2022. At the same time, concern for sustainability continues to increase on the heels of events like the United Nations’ COP26 conference, and with environmental regulations being strengthened across the globe. With these shifts in consumer lifestyles and interests in mind, Samsung has been working to provide kitchen solutions that are “customized, smarter, and more sustainable.”</p>
<p>Our customized kitchen solutions cater to users who have been spending a lot of time in their kitchen and thus feel a stronger desire to remodel their space to reflect their tastes. By expanding our Bespoke lineup, we are providing a more diverse range of refrigerator types and color options, helping users build customized kitchens that suit both their lifestyle and their interior design scheme.</p>
<p>Spending more time at home has naturally led to a rise in home cooking as well. To help make this easier by making kitchens “smarter”, Samsung introduced SmartThings Cooking, a tailored cooking journey service that does everything from looking up recipes to creating a diet plan and even shops for groceries. Powered by Whisk’s Food AI, SmartThings Cooking recommends your personalized recipe and meal plans based on your tastes, dietary needs and groceries you have on hand. The service also allows you to enjoy convenient one-stop grocery shopping with your favorite grocery retail brands available through the Whisk network. When it comes time to cook, SmartThings ensures a seamless cooking experience while communicating directly with your smart Samsung kitchen appliances.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>And with Family Hub, consumers can even utilize this service through the display on the front of their fridge while continuing to control other home appliances from it as well.</p>
<p>Finally, our kitchen solutions are becoming “more sustainable.” Bespoke refrigerators are built for high energy efficiency, and their replaceable door panels help extend their lifespans. Samsung continues to innovate on this front, seeking out ways to incorporate cutting-edge technology into our appliances while keeping sustainability in mind as well.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>The Freestyle : Designing a Screen That’s Not Limited by Space</strong></span></h3>
<div id="attachment_129818" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-129818" class="wp-image-129818 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CES-experts-behind-innovative-1_main3F.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /><p id="caption-attachment-129818" class="wp-caption-text">▲ Jungrae Kim of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business proudly displays The Freestyle, a new portable screen introduced at CES.</p></div>
<p><strong>Q: Could you walk us through how your team came up with The Freestyle?</strong></p>
<p>Ever since the pandemic changed our daily lives, our personal spaces have become more and more important. This is particularly true of relaxing spaces like the bedroom, where we’re seeing more people using products for the purposes of entertainment. We’re also seeing more people utilize cozy and quiet spaces in their homes, as well as increased interest in spending time outdoors – by going camping, for example. We wanted to reflect these trends of our time in our products, and enable users to use them as they wish – anytime, anywhere, and regardless of space limitations. That’s how we came up with the personal, movable smart screen that is The Freestyle.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What are unique points of the Freestyle?</strong></p>
<p>The Freestyle was designed to offer users new levels of functionality. It’s easy to see what sets this product apart just by looking at it. To allow users to carry around every day, we designed The Freestyle to be lightweight, weighing just 830 grams. The fact that you can conveniently carry it with you wherever you go is its biggest advantage.</p>
<p>The Freestyle also features a simpler installation process. All users need to do is place The Freestyle wherever they want, and then turn it on. That’s it. The Freestyle comes with full auto keystone and auto leveling features, enabled by industry-leading technology. The features allow the device to automatically adjust its screen to any surface at any angle, providing a perfectly proportional image every time.</p>
<p>Users can enjoy a seamless and continuous viewing experience by accessing their user accounts and settings for major OTT services. On top of that, we’ve also applied the industry’s first far-field voice control technology. So when the screen is turned on, users can search for content using just their voice. When the screen is off, they can use the device to listen to music or ask for the day’s weather just as they would with a smart speaker.</p>
<p>The Freestyle’s picture and sound quality – the most basic and important features of any display – also deserve a closer look. We applied Samsung TVs’ picture quality engine, and the white balance is adjusted automatically according to the color and tone of the wall that the screen is being projected to. We also applied dual passive radiators to produce deep, high-quality bass. This allows customers to enjoy a cinema-quality sound experience no matter where they are.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-129819" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CES-experts-behind-innovative-1_main4F.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" /></p>
<p><strong>Q: In line with Samsung’s ‘Screens Everywhere’ vision, The Freestyle can be utilized in various ways for maximum convenience. What are some specific use cases for The Freestyle?</strong></p>
<p>First of all, The Freestyle can be conveniently set up in a user’s bedroom. While lying in bed, before falling asleep, they can use the device’s integrated cradle to move the screen from the wall to the ceiling to continue watching a movie more comfortably. The Freestyle can also be placed lightly on a dining room table, transforming the room into a new space for entertainment.</p>
<p>In order to utilize spaces like this, our developers came up with a new installation solution that we applied to the product. Thanks to those efforts, users can also utilize the device on a tabletop or floor by connecting it to a standard E26 light socket.<sup>1</sup> There’s no need for a separate power supply or cable connection, so it can be used immediately.</p>
<p>For powering it up, The Freestyle is compatible with external batteries<sup>2</sup> that support USB-PD and 50W/20V output or above, so users can take it with them anywhere, whether they are on the move, on a camping trip and more. When it’s not used as a projector to stream content, The Freestyle also provides mood lighting effect thanks to its ambient mode and translucent lens cap.</p>
<p>Through close cooperation with Samsung’s MX (Mobile eXperience) Business, we’ve equipped The Freestyle with a button that syncs it with Galaxy devices. With just a push of a button, users can instantly use their Galaxy device as a remote control. They can also utilize mobile hotspots when no Wi-Fi networks are available. We’ve developed this product by paying close attention to even the smallest details, all to make the device just as convenient and easy to use outdoors as it is at home.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics today announced its first-ever Bespoke French Door refrigerator, to be unveiled at CES 2022, bringing Bespoke to nearly every major refrigerator type sold in the United States.</p>
<p>Available in a choice of 3-door, 4-door and Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> models, the new Bespoke French Door refrigerator expands Samsung’s Bespoke lineup. At CES 2022, Samsung is set to display a full array of Bespoke appliances, including new products such as the Bespoke Jet<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> cordless stick vacuum cleaner and the Bespoke Washer and Dryer, bringing Bespoke to the rest of the home.</p>
<p>The new line represents the very best of Samsung, pairing customizable designs with unique technologies that together inspire entirely new ways of living. With the Bespoke refrigerator as a centerpiece, consumers will be able to customize their décor to complement their personal style, with kitchen packages that include dishwashers, ranges and over-the-range microwaves in white, navy or green.
