Samsung Electronics today announced that it will unveil its latest kitchen appliances lineup at CES 2026, including the latest iterations of its Bespoke AI refrigerator, over-the-range (OTR) microwave and slide-in range¹ at CES 2026. Alongside refreshed designs across the lineup, the company will highlight meaningful improvements to vision-based AI functionality enhanced with Google Gemini and Google Cloud, showing how these innovations simplify everyday tasks and elevate the overall kitchen experience.

“In pioneering the application of vision-based AI technology, Samsung has led innovation in the kitchen appliance market,” said Jeong Seung Moon, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D Team for Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will reach a new level of innovation through this collaboration with Google Cloud and will utilize these ongoing initiatives to continue to deliver better consumer experiences in the upcoming year.”

Introducing Samsung’s Latest AI Vision-Equipped Refrigerator

At CES, Samsung will present a new Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub, equipped with the upgraded AI Vision. The feature’s key upgrade is its functions built with Google Gemini, which marks the first time that it is being integrated into a refrigerator.

Previously, it could recognize up to 37 types of fresh food and 50 types of pre-registered processed food on-device.² The latest version ready to be unveiled at CES is built to unlock its existing limitations to recognize more food items, offering a comprehensive and flexible experience.

It is planned to even recognize processed foods without separate registration, automatically registering their names to increase convenience. Additionally, Samsung aims to make it detect user-labeled items, foods stored in personal containers can be added to the food list.

With ingredients being identified more accurately, managing the food list becomes clearer and easier than before, broadening people’s food-related experiences. At CES, Samsung plans to showcase the enhanced capabilities and new use cases of AI Vision, demonstrating the future of a truly personalized AI kitchen.

Enhanced Wine Management With the New Samsung Bespoke AI Wine Cellar

Samsung will exhibit the new Bespoke AI Wine Cellar, designed to incorporate an AI Vision built with Google Gemini similar to that of the Bespoke AI Refrigerator.³

When users store or remove wine bottles from the wine cellar, a camera positioned at the top of the unit will recognize the labels and tracks bottles, updating the SmartThings AI Wine Manager⁴ accordingly. The system will also be able to distinguish the specific shelf and compartment where each bottle is placed, allowing users to easily check locations without searching manually. Through the AI Wine Manager, users will be able to look up wine information more conveniently and receive suggestions on pairings based on the type of wine in their inventory, making wine curation more intuitive and personalized.

Unified Kitchen Aesthetic With an Upgraded Stainless Look 

Samsung is also introducing a lineup of French Door refrigerators, slide-in ranges and new OTR microwave models, offering consumers an updated aesthetic and a cohesive stainless-look option for creating a unified kitchen design.

The new Bespoke AI 3-Door French Door refrigerator features a zero clearance fit, which can be installed with side gaps of approximately 4mm.⁵ Additionally, its door depth has been reduced by 50mm compared to the conventional 3-Door model,⁶ enabling full access to drawers and food items with the doors wide open.⁷ The AutoView — a transparent door — allows users to easily check items stored in the fridge.

The upgraded slide-in range features a completely refreshed design with a stainless-look finish across the control panel, knobs and door. It adopts a new bar handle style, along with a Precision Knob that provides enhanced safety.

Samsung will unveil two different types of OTR microwaves: the Air-Fry OTR and the DualVent OTR. The most significant change comes from the revised hood structure of the DualVent model. Typically, the depth of a cooktop on the range extends farther than that of an OTR, making it difficult for the hood to capture smoke from the front burners. Samsung’s new dual vent system addresses this by adding a front ventilation wing in addition to the bottom ventilation, significantly improving the capture rate compared to the previous model.

Visitors at Samsung’s booth at CES 2026 will be the first to see these new innovations. Learn more about Samsung’s CES activities here.

Thanks to its advanced sensors, cameras and powerful hardware, Galaxy XR can precisely track users’ head, hand and eye movement and make these experiences truly immersive. The device’s microphones are strategically placed and supported by software to filter out external noises and capture the wearer’s voice clearly. Through Galaxy XR, users can explore both virtual and real worlds in XR-specialized apps using natural physical interaction, with assistance from Gemini.

Galaxy XR also opens new levels of immersion in entertainment⁴ — including sports and gaming — with its powerful hardware and superior performance.

• Immersive viewing experiences: Users can stream their favorite shows on a 4K Micro-OLED screen that feels like a personal theater.
• Sports experiences: Sports fans can watch multiple games at the same time, feeling as if they are right in the stadium.
• AI-enhanced gaming experiences: While playing XR-specialized games, users can chat with Gemini for real-time coaching, tips and enhanced gameplay experiences.
• Create and edit in 3D: Project Pulsar from Adobe makes cinematic video edits easy—users can add 3D depth, and layer captions or icons behind subjects on a larger-than-life canvas.

Powered by Snapdragon® XR2+ Gen 2, Galaxy XR delivers next generation immersive experiences with visual clarity and advanced AI through the Qualcomm® Hexagon NPU.⁵ Plus, 2.5 hours of battery usage time⁶ enables users to enjoy their favorite content in total, uninterrupted immersion. Combined with its immersive sound and ultra-high-resolution displays, Galaxy XR places users at the center of extended worlds optimized for XR.

The Manhattan Skyline, Now in 200MP Glory

The journey began in Brooklyn, where the editors aimed to capture Manhattan’s stunning skyline across the East River in a single frame — bridges, boats and all — while preserving clarity, even at a distance zooming in.

Enter the first-ever 200MP camera on a Z Fold. From bridge cables to distant rooftops, every detail was rendered with striking precision. The ultra-high resolution allowed the team to shoot wide, then zoom in and crop while maintaining exceptional image quality. With the Galaxy Z Fold7, nothing is out of reach — even the subtlest parts of cityscapes, no matter how far the zoom.

No Selfie Stick, No Problem: 100-Degree Wide-Angle Selfies That Capture It All

What’s a New York adventure without a selfie — or ten? With the Galaxy Z Fold7’s 10MP 100-degree front camera, snapping the perfect shot becomes effortless.

Designed into the main display, this lens’ 100-degree field of view captures not just faces, but full scenes — whether it’s the Brooklyn Bridge or Central Park in the background. No tripod, no selfie stick — just a wide-angle perspective that turns every memory into a postcard.

▲ A wide-angle selfie with the Galaxy Z Fold7’s 100-degree main display front camera

Picture-Perfect Spots, Minus the Crowds

Next stop: Jane’s Carousel — a popular photo spot known for its vintage charm and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline.

Iconic landmarks are bound to be crowded, often making it difficult to capture a clean shot. But Galaxy Z Fold7 users need not worry. With the newly added Suggest Erases feature in Generative Edit, the device automatically detects people in the background and allows users to remove them with ease — no manual selection required. The results can then be reviewed side-by-side on a single screen for easy comparison.

▲ Using Generative Edit, people in the background can be automatically detected and seamlessly removed with a single tap.

What’s That? Circle It and Find Out

As the editors explored the fashion-forward, trendy neighborhood of SoHo, a striking building stood out. What was it?

With Circle to Search, curiosity meets instant answers. A quick snap and circle gesture revealed everything there was to know. Whether it’s architecture, street art or a mystery object, traveling with the Galaxy Z Fold7 means never missing a beat.

▲ With Circle to Search, circling any part of an image instantly provides relevant information.

Clear Sound, Even in Bustling New York

At Central Park, a street performance filled the air with music. Wanting to capture the buskers’ carefree energy, the editors recorded a video — but along with the music came unwanted background noise. Cue Audio Eraser.

With the AI-powered tool, the Galaxy Z Fold7 isolated the music, filtering out distractions like wind and nearby conversations. The result? A polished and immersive video, ready to be shared.

▲ Audio Eraser enhances audio clarity by removing unwanted noise from videos.

Night Video: New York Nights, Captured in Clarity

The day wrapped up where it began — by the East River at Brooklyn Bridge Park. This time though, Manhattan’s skyline shimmered under the moonlight, offering a dramatically different atmosphere.

Shooting videos in low light can be tricky, but the Galaxy Z Fold7 handled the scene with ease. Thanks to its default 10-bit HDR powered by the ProVisual Engine, highlights and shadows were rendered with lifelike depth and crisp detail — resulting in clean, noise-free footage.

This will allow it to adapt its behaviors and responses in real-time. For instance, if you’re not sure what to wear to work in the morning, you can turn to Ballie for advice. Users could ask, “Hey Ballie, how do I look?” and Ballie can respond with styling recommendations, such as trying new accessories or adding a colorful shirt.

With enhanced reasoning enabled by Gemini, Ballie will be able to help users manage not only their home, but also their health and wellbeing. For example, a user could tell Ballie, “I feel tired today.” Ballie could then use Gemini’s grounding in Google Search to give tailored advice on how to improve their energy levels, including sharing recommendations from trusted sources on how to get more exercise, optimize their sleeping environment or monitor their sleep patterns.

This partnership announcement builds on the successful integration last year of Gemini on Google Cloud into Samsung’s Galaxy S24 smartphone series. With Ballie, Samsung and Google Cloud are exploring how to bring their generative AI collaboration to a wider range of devices.

“With Gemini on Google Cloud, Samsung is demonstrating how to deploy generative AI at scale, integrating it directly into the heart of their popular products,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud. “This expanded partnership with Samsung underscores our commitment to delivering reliable, enterprise-grade AI that drives lasting value for our customers – and their customers.”
