<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, announced the expansion of its Bespoke AI Top-Mount Freezer refrigerator line-up. This new range is designed to bring intelligent energy-saving and modern aesthetics to Indian homes. The refrigerators, which boast a sleek Bespoke design, incorporate advanced AI features, smart connectivity, and reliable performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this new range of refrigerators, select models in 256L and 236L capacities come with Wi-Fi connectivity to seamlessly integrate with SmartThings for convenient control and monitoring via your smartphone. These models feature a sleek flat-door design, along with Power Cool and Power Freeze functions for quick cooling. In alignment with the best of industry standards, they are built to deliver reliable performance while saving electricity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“As Samsung marks its 30th anniversary in India, we continue to innovate and deliver smarter and more energy-efficient solutions for Indian consumers. Our new AI-enabled refrigerators under 300L capacity, including the Bespoke AI Top Mount Freezer, bring SmartThings connectivity, modern design, and better energy management to Indian households. This reflects our commitment to democratising AI technology and delivering accessible, tailored solutions,” said Ghufran Alam, Vice President, Digital Appliances Business, Samsung India.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new refrigerator line-up allows consumers to track and adjust refrigerator settings through the SmartThings app. This enables greater control over cooling performance and day-to-day usage, even when users are away from home. To enhance appliance reliability, SmartThings Home Care monitors refrigerator performance and automatically notifies users if any issue is detected or when parts may require attention.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>AI Energy Mode for Smarter Energy Management</h3>
<p>The Bespoke AI refrigerators are equipped with AI Energy Mode that analyses usage patterns and estimates power consumption to help reduce energy usage by up to 10%. Consumers can also track electricity consumption on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis through SmartThings Energy for informed energy management.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Smart Alerts with Software Updates</h3>
<p>The refrigerators provide door-open notifications through the SmartThings app to prevent loss of cold air. With Smart Forward, the refrigerator receives regular software updates so features remain up to date over time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Sleek Flat Door Design</h3>
<p>All models in the Bespoke AI Top Mount Freezer range feature flat doors for a clean, elegant, and modern aesthetic that aligns with contemporary home interior trends. The minimalist styling seamlessly integrates the refrigerator into today’s kitchen spaces. Select models in the Bespoke AI Top Mount Freezer range offer convertible 2-in-1 functionality that allow users to convert the freezer into additional refrigerator space whenever more storage is required.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Energy Efficiency Aligned with Standards</h3>
<p>All models in the Bespoke AI TMF refrigerator range comply with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) guidelines for 2026–2028. Samsung is among the few brands to offer 3-star refrigerators under the revised BEE norms to help consumers benefit from improved energy efficiency while meeting future regulatory requirements.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>All Around Cooling</h3>
<p>The refrigerators are equipped with All Around Cooling technology, which checks temperature and circulates cool air evenly through strategically placed vents for consistent cooling and long-lasting freshness across every shelf.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For faster cooling needs, Power Cool and Power Freeze functions enable quick chilling of beverages and faster firming of frozen foods at the touch of a button. The refrigerator also features a dedicated Fresh Room, designed to store dairy products, fruits and beverages at a slightly cooler and more stable temperature than the main fridge compartment. In the event of power interruptions, the Cool Pack in the freezer helps prevent food from defrosting, keeping food frozen for up to 12 hours.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Limited Period Launch Offer</h3>
<p>Samsung Care+ gives consumers peace of mind with extra protection for their appliances. You can choose plans ranging from one to four years, starting at just INR 3 per day. It includes access to expert service from 13,000+ certified engineers and 2,500+ service centres for quick and reliable repairs. You can also track services and get reminders through the Samsung app.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the new Bespoke AI Top Mount Freezer Refrigerator, there is a special offer: Buy a one-year extended plan and get a free two-year extended warranty, giving you four years of total coverage. This offer is valid from April 8 to May 31, 2026.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><img class="size-full wp-image-24786 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/17033_SBS_5-Star_Newsroom-Cover_1000x563.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" style="font-size: 16px;" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/17033_SBS_5-Star_Newsroom-Cover_1000x563.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/17033_SBS_5-Star_Newsroom-Cover_1000x563-728x410.jpg 728w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></h3>
<p>Samsung, India’s No. 1 refrigerator brand, today announced that it became the first brand in India to receive a 5-Star rating by Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) for its 653L Convertible 5-in-1 Side-by-Side refrigerator. The 5-Star rating indicates that consumers can save 444 kWh (Kilowatt-hour) electricity annually and the refrigerator emits 359 kg lesser carbon as compared to 1-Star rated models.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Besides the 5-Star rated <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/refrigerators/side-by-side/">Side-by-Side refrigerator</a>, Samsung has received 3-Star rating for rest of the  Convertible 5in1 Side-by-Side refrigerator models, making it India&#8217;s first complete star rated Side-by-Side refrigerator range in the category. The 3-Star rated refrigerators will help consumers save up to 259 kWh electricity annually while bringing down the carbon emissions by 210 kg per year as compared to 1-Star rated models.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The ‘Made in India’ Side-by-Side refrigerator range is Wi-Fi enabled and equipped with <a href="https://www.samsung.com/in/smartthings/do-the-smartthings/">Smart Things app</a> functionality. It comes with Convertible 5-in-1 mode for customisable storage space, Samsung’s Twin Cooling Plus<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology for precise cooling and Curd Maestro<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> that allows users to make curd at home in a healthy and hygienic way. To allow better space utilization, consumers can now detach the curd-making compartment, when it is not in use.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This range comes in stylish and classy BESPOKE Glass Finish colour options &#8211; Glam Deep Charcoal, Clean Navy, Clean White and Clean Pink – that go perfectly with the modern design taste of Indians.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>“</em><em>As the No. 1 refrigerator brand in India, we make continuous efforts to promote sustainability and energy efficiency while reducing carbon footprint for a better future. The energy efficiency ratings by BEE for our Side-by-Side refrigerator range is a testament to our commitment. Our Side-by-Side refrigerators have found great resonance among Indian consumers due to its outstanding aesthetic appeal. With the BEE ratings, we are confident that these refrigerators will interest more individuals who seek high-performing products that add value to their lives in more than one way</em>,” said <strong>Saurabh Baishakhia, Senior Director, Digital Appliance Business, Samsung India</strong></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<h3><strong>Price &amp; Availability</strong></h3>
<p>Priced at INR 110,890 onwards, the line-up is available across offline and online retailers, in 653L net capacity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Warranty</strong></h3>
<p>The new line-up comes with a 20-year compressor warranty on its compressor, thereby offering promising durability of the product and in turn, providing consumers with complete peace of mind.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Key Features of Side-by-Side refrigerators </strong></h3>
<h3><strong>Convertible 5-in-1 mode</strong></h3>
<p>The feature offers consumers more storage space and convenience by allowing them to choose from the five modes – Normal, Seasonal, Extra Fridge, Vacation and Home Alone. In the normal mode, the refrigerator will have both fridge and freezer mode, in both Home Alone and Vacation modes, the refrigerator will only have the freezer running while the fridge will be turned off. On days, when one wants more storage space, the feature allows consumers to convert their freezer into fridge, thus giving more storage space.</p>
<p>The Twin Cooling Plus<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology in this feature works with two separate evaporators for fridge and freezer to minimise temperature fluctuation. This innovation adds a new level of convenience, making it possible to control optimal humidity and temperature that prevents odour mixing and ensures freshness of food for a longer duration.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Family Hub 7.0</strong></h3>
<p>The Family Hub 7.0 feature provides efficient food management by suggesting meal ideas to its users and giving a view of what’s stored inside the refrigerator, among others. Consumers can also play their favourite music using Spotify, TuneIn and can simply enjoy their favourite web services without other devices. To ensure unlimited family fun, the feature also offers an analogue bulletin-board that curates precious family moments by video, photos, and memos. For users to enjoy seamless connected living and turn their home smarter, this feature lets them control their smart appliances and IoT enabled devices via SmartThings App.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>AI Energy Savings mode</strong></h3>
<p>With this mode activated, consumers can easily meet their monthly electricity cost target by optimising fridge and freezer temperatures. The feature uses artificial intelligence to understand the usage pattern and set the temperature accordingly, thus ensuring energy efficiency in the process.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Curd Maestro+</strong></h3>
<p>The Side-by-Side refrigerator range comes with Samsung’s patented Curd Maestro<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology that allows users to make curd at home in a healthy and hygienic way. However, taking the experience, the 2023 range comes with a detachable Curd Maestro+ that users can remove as per their convenience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>BESPOKE &amp; Auto Open Door</strong></h3>
<p>From a design perspective, the line-up comes with BESPOKE’s Glass Finish panels, thus making the range of products glamorous. Keeping in mind the challenges in Indian cooking, the 2023 range comes with another interesting feature — Auto Open Door that uses ‘touch sensor’ and opens the door. Therefore, in case of dirty hands, consumers can simply keep their hand on the door sensor and it will open.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Non-plumbing Dispenser</strong></h3>
<p>The refrigerator comes with a 4.5L water tank for its non-plumbing ice and water dispenser. This feature makes the refrigerator easy to install at any location without being connected to a water supply. Consumers simply need to add mineral or fresh water to enjoy chilled drinks or ice or crushed ice without installing a separate water filter.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Wi-Fi Enabled</strong></h3>
<p>To help consumers enjoy a seamless and superior connected living experience, the Side-by-Side Refrigerator range facilitates control using SmartThings app, thanks to being Wi-Fi enabled.</p>
