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.

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.

“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.

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.

AI Energy Mode for Smarter Energy Management

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.

Smart Alerts with Software Updates

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.

Sleek Flat Door Design

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.

Energy Efficiency Aligned with Standards

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.

All Around Cooling

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.

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.

Limited Period Launch Offer

Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, today announced the launch of its latest Made-in-India Smart WindFree Cassette Air Conditioners. The new lineup combines intelligent connectivity, eco-conscious design, and premium comfort, improving the future of commercial and residential cooling solutions.

Engineered to deliver smarter control, efficient performance, and enhanced well-being, the new range is equipped with built-in Wi-Fi for seamless SmartThings integration and Samsung’s unique WindFree Cooling technology, delivering consistent comfort without harsh cold drafts and bringing a new level of convenience and comfort to users across India. The use of eco-friendly R32 refrigerant further validates Samsung’s commitment to sustainability.

“Comfort today is no longer about just cooling a room, it is about creating an experience that is intelligent, sustainable and truly tailored to the needs of our consumers in India. Our new WindFree Cassette ACs, proudly Made-in-India, bring together the premium elegance of design, the reassurance of eco-friendly refrigerants, and the intelligence of SmartThings connectivity. They are built to deliver not only powerful performance but also lasting well-being, saving energy, reducing environmental impact, and offering a new dimension of comfort. With this launch, we are setting a benchmark for how air conditioning can be smarter, greener, and more attuned to the evolving lifestyle of businesses and consumers across the country,” said Vipin Agrawal, Head of System AC, Samsung India.

Smart Control with Connected Cooling Anytime, Anywhere

Users can connect their cassette ACs effortlessly via the built-in Wi-Fi with the Samsung SmartThings app, eliminating the need for additional modules. They can monitor, manage, and personalize their indoor climate directly from their smartphone, whether at home, in the office, or on the move.

Key SmartThings features include:

• Voice Control: Control temperature and settings using voice assistants such as Samsung Bixby, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant
• Welcome Cooling Mode: Uses GPS tracking to automatically cool your space to preferred settings before arrival
• Good Sleep Mode: Adapts to your sleep cycle while saving up to 48% energy^[1]
• Comfort Humidity Control: Maintains steady indoor conditions using temperature and humidity sensors, while saving up to 19% energy^[2] in dry mode

Eco-Friendly & Healthier Cooling

The range uses R32 refrigerant, which has a significantly lower global warming potential (GWP) than conventional refrigerants. For cleaner indoor environments, an optional PM 1.0 filtration system is available to capture ultra-fine dust particles and improve air purity.

Cool Without the Chill – WindFree Comfort

Unlike conventional air conditioners that blow strong jets of cold air, Samsung’s WindFree Cooling uses thousands of micro-holes to gently disperse cool air. This creates a “Still Air” environment, with minimal fan speed and thereby eliminating cold drafts while maintaining consistent, quiet, and energy-efficient cooling. This range of ACs are ideal for offices, hospitality, and wellness spaces.

Price and Availability

Samsung’s new Smart Cassette AC comes with a starting price of INR 65,000 (excluding GST) and will be available through Samsung’s authorized commercial AC channel partners across India starting October 2025.

Read on to see Samsung Newsroom’s recap of the innovation and inspiration revolutionizing how we live and work both now and in the future.

Opening: A Seamless, Frictionless Experience

Jong-Hee Han opened up the day’s talks by underscoring the importance of convenience in an age of brilliant yet complex technologies. “At Samsung, our goal has always been to make our lives easier through technology innovation,” said Han. “But innovation can also be burdensome for users if convenience is not at the forefront. Our teams are determined to deliver devices that are as smooth and accessible as they are advanced.”

▲ Jong-Hee Han, Vice Chairman, CEO and Head of DX Division at Samsung Electronics, welcomes attendees to SDC 2022

Covering everything from Calm Technology to Knox Matrix to holistic household platforms like Bixby Home Studio and SmartThings, Han outlined a device and systems ecosystem that puts the user experience at the center. “The goal of all this is to give you an easier, seamless and more frictionless experience,” Han emphasized. “So you can focus on what matters most.”

A Home That Learns and Adapts Through SmartThings

Following Jong-Hee Han, Jaeyeon Jung, Vice President and Head of SmartThings, Mobile eXperience Business, discussed how Covid-19 galvanized teams at Samsung to prioritize the important things in life, particularly in the home. “If you’re like me, the past few years have been a time to prioritize what matters, to find moments to pause and refresh,” said Jung.

▲ Jaeyeon Jung, Vice President and Head of SmartThings, Mobile eXperience Business, outlines how the platform is helping realize a truly seamless, intuitive household device ecosystem

Samsung’s SmartThings platform, Jung explained, is the perfect way to do this in your home. Thanks to a wide range of improvements to the household ecosystem platform, finding, setting up, onboarding and synchronizing new devices into your household will be easier and more efficient than ever. This includes Galaxy Quick Pair, Matter Hub connectivity, SmartThings Energy and SmartThings Music Sync, as well as boosted integration with partner systems and an expanded SmartThings website.

Matter: A Truly Harmonious Household Experience

Premium Security and Privacy for an Integrated Household

▲ Shin Baik, Principal Engineer of Security Team, Mobile eXperience Business, underscores the significance of strong security and personalized privacy, as exemplified by systems like Samsung Knox and Knox Matrix

Samsung envisions more than just a convenient and integrated home experience. Its teams are also creating an experience that is as safe as it is smooth, as private as it is proactive. After Yadav’s Bixby talk, Shin Baik, Principal Engineer of Security Team, Mobile eXperience Business, discussed with the audience how top-notch innovations need top-notch security to go with them. Unwavering in its three security and privacy principles — transparency, choice and protection — Samsung has worked hard to develop platforms like Samsung Knox. This will keep everything from your phone to your refrigerator safe and secure, said Baik.

A new platform called Knox Matrix, in particular, is now on the frontline of multi-device protection. “Knox Matrix is your own private blockchain,” Baik explained. “Multiple devices share credentials, turning the ecosystem of devices into a shield that protects everyone.”

In step with these developments, of course, is Samsung’s insistence on a customizable privacy experience, which is provided by Samsung’s comprehensive Security and privacy dashboard. “We believe that you — and only you — should be making decisions about how your information is managed and stored,” said Baik.
