Many people in Southeast Asia have lived under grey skies for several weeks as the region tries to catch its breath amidst the hazy conditions. As households pay closer attention to the fluctuations in air quality, some might be wondering just what they can do to breathe a little easier indoors.

That’s why some are turning to air purifiers to help reduce dust particles for better air quality. While this home appliance might currently be the region’s most welcomed addition this season, it’s worth noting that its usefulness extends beyond the haze.  Regardless of what the sky looks like outside, the right air purifier can make the indoor environment more comfortable for your household. If you’re trying to pick one for your home, here are some things to keep in mind.

1. Advanced Purification System

Filtration is a key function of air purifiers and with different sized and types of particles present in the air, a multi-layer system is crucial to effectively capture and remove dust. The Samsung Smart Air Purifier SmartThings for instance, comes equipped with a multi-layered high efficiency purification system. Larger dust particles are first trapped by a washable pre filter, while harmful gases¹ are removed by an Activated Carbon Deodorization Filter. Finally, with an electret dust-collecting filter, it captures up to 99.97%² of ultrafine dust.

2. Anti-bacterial capabilities

Beyond capturing foreign particles in the air, filters that have anti-bacterial properties can also offer additional protection from certain types of bacteria and virus. The dust-collecting filter on Samsung’s air purifiers contain zinc oxide, which can reduce bacteria on the filter by up to 99.9%³, and inactivate up to 96.3%⁴ of the H1N1 virus – which can cause respiratory illness – on its surface. This added capability can provide your household with more peace of mind as you enjoy cleaner air together at home.

3. Precise monitoring of air quality

While the presence of an air purifier can provide some reassurance that your household is enjoying clean air, it always helps to stay informed. The Samsung Air Purifier 3 Way Air Flow comes with a laser sensor that detects PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 particles and the accompanying Numeric Air Quality Display shows the exact amount of each so you always know the quality of air you’re breathing in.

4. Convenience and connectivity

As with other home appliances, ease of use and convenience can play a big part in the overall experience of owning an air purifier, while power consumption is another common concern. With SmartThings connectivity, Samsung air purifiers can be remotely controlled through the SmartThings App⁵. Users can easily check room pollution levels, as well as turn the device on and off through their mobile device. To save energy use, you can turn the air purifier off when the house is empty, and switch it on when you’re on the way back, ensuring that you return to a home filled with clean air.

Other features like Auto Mode can also help to reduce manual effort needed and energy consumption. By sensing the room’s air pollution levels, it enables the air purifier to automatically adjust power and fan speeds accordingly to deliver and maintain optimal air quality.   

5. Easy maintenance

Maintenance of household appliances is a dreaded chore for many but keeping your air purifier clean and well-maintained is critical to keep it working at its best. If you don’t want to add yet another burdensome task to your household to-do list, pick an air purifier with simple maintenance needs – look out for filters that only require periodic cleaning, are easy to replace, and purifiers that trigger alerts for when it’s time for a clean or change.

Home Care – which is part of the SmartThings app – helps users monitor filter usage and receive guidance on when to change, replace, or clean your appliance.

6. Fast and efficient purification

Spaces in a home may vary in size and some rooms are larger than others. If fast purification is needed even for bigger spaces, the Samsung Air Purifier 3 Way Air Flow can do the trick. Its Front Air Inflow enables it to easily draw in air even if it’s placed against the wall, while a Power Fan distributes clean air in three different directions, so the entire room can be rapidly purified in no time.     

During this hazy season, air purifiers can provide valuable respite. But it’s important to remember that while the smoke might soon give way to clear skies, the need for clean air doesn’t end. Activities in everyday life, like cooking or cleaning, can also affect air quality in your home. By picking the right air purifier, your household can look forward to enjoying clean and fresh air all year round.

University life is a constant juggling act. Between lectures, assignments, research papers, group projects and extracurricular activities, students need more than just a device to take notes. Enter the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Series combining an expansive display, powerful performance, AI-powered assistance and a connected digital experience, the latest tablet series is designed to help students rethink how they learn, work and create. Whether it’s for drafting the outline of their next assignment, preparing for an important presentation or bringing a creative project to life, the possibilities are endless for students with the Galaxy Tab S12 Series.

Here are five reasons why the Galaxy Tab S12 Series deserves a place in every university student’s backpack.

1. Because you can get more done on one big screen

It’s tiring to bring around a bag full of laptop, textbooks and notebooks around campus so you would love the portability of a tablet! From juggling lecture slides and research papers to annotating PDFs before a deadline, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series helps make studying less of a scramble. The Galaxy Tab S12 Series caters to students’ needs with two display options: choose the 14.6-inch display for more room to work across materials, or the 12.6-inch option for a more portable setup between lectures and study sessions.

What’s more, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series can be turned into a portable screen as an extension to compatible Windows laptops – Second Screen allows you to mirror or extend your laptop screen onto the tablet, instantly making group study at a café or library more productive.

Both are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor, delivering the performance to keep up with demanding academic workloads. Whether you’re preparing an assignment or revising for exams, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series gives you the screen space and power to stay organised and focused.

2. Because AI help you work through tough topics and get ideas flowing

Stuck on a tricky topic or unsure where to start with an assignment? The Galaxy Tab S12 Series gives students access to AI assistants including Google Gemini and Perplexity to help simplify complex concepts, explore research topics and organise ideas for presentations. Getting help is easy, too: just activate the AI assistants by tapping the AI Key on the FREE Book Cover Keyboard. It’s a convenient way to iron out learning workflows, move quickly from questions to ideas and make study sessions more productive, while still checking AI-generated information against reliable sources. You can also perform seamless actions across apps and add your research to your Samsung Notes with a single command without leaving your current app. The best part is the Galaxy Tab S12 Series also comes with six months of Google AI Pro with higher access to Gemini and 5TB of storage so you can take your research to the next level.

3. Because it’s more than a tablet. It’s a creative toolkit for every student

Whether you’re preparing a presentation, editing videos for an assignment or exploring a creative hobby, the Galaxy Tab S12 Series comes with tools to do more. A wide range of essential apps is preloaded to help students explore their individual interests inside and outside the classroom. They include:

• Adobe Photoshop¹: First Android tablet with multi-layer editing, suitable for those looking to pick up a new skill and how to edit pictures on the go
• Notability² and Goodnotes³: Organise lecture notes, annotate documents and keep study materials in one place.
• Notion⁴: Organise tasks, manage deadlines and keep track of projects and study plans.
• LumaFusion⁵: Edit videos for assignments, presentations and personal creative projects.
• Clip Studio Paint⁶: Explore digital illustration, drawing and visual storytelling.

4. Because organizing your notes and files is just that much easier

Switching between devices to find lecture notes, assignment files or group project materials can be a hassle. The Galaxy Tab S12 Series makes it easier to access and share files across compatible Galaxy devices with Storage Share, while Quick Share support for sharing across other compatible operating systems helps students move materials between devices and collaborate seamlessly with classmates. The result is greater flexibility to work with the tools you already own, rather than having to rebuild your entire digital setup around a new tablet.

5. Because it’s a smart investment, with exclusive student offers

Whether you’re watching the latest race updates on your phone, catching the action live from home, or heading outdoors for a weekend adventure, your smartphone needs to keep up with everyday life. The Samsung Galaxy A08 is designed with practical performance, everyday durability and long-term software support to help Malaysians get more out of their device.

From tyre dust at an outdoor motorsport event to accidental coffee spills during a busy morning, everyday adventures can put your smartphone through its fair share of challenges.

The Galaxy A08 features an IP64 rating¹ for dust and water resistance, offering protection against dust and water splashes without the need for a bulky rugged case. Whether you’re watching the action outdoors, enjoying a drink at a roadside stop or caught in a light drizzle, it adds a layer of reassurance for everyday mishaps. While IP64 protection helps against dust and splashes, the Galaxy A08 is not designed for submersion in water. Keeping it away from pools and heavy water exposure remains essential.

Reliability also means having a phone that can handle the little things you do every day. Powered by LPDDR5 RAM, the Galaxy A08 is designed to deliver responsive performance with improved memory power efficiency.

Whether you’re streaming race coverage, checking live updates, replying to group chats or switching between apps, the Galaxy A08 supports your everyday multitasking needs. And when you need extra memory resources, RAM Plus provides up to 6GB of additional virtual RAM, depending on device configuration and available settings, helping keep more apps ready in the background. To find the feature, simply use Search on your phone and look for RAM Plus to access the available settings.

An affordable smartphone should offer value beyond the day you buy it. That’s why the Galaxy A08 comes with up to six years of OS and security updates², helping extend its useful life while keeping its software and security protections up to date.

For added protection, Samsung Knox provides hardware-backed security designed to help safeguard your device and sensitive information. Whether you’re transferring money through a banking app, making e-wallet payments or managing personal information, it adds an important layer of defence against digital threats. Of course, good security also depends on good habits. Avoid downloading APK files from untrusted sources, verify payment requests and never share sensitive information with suspicious parties.

From following the excitement of motorsports on the go to managing daily tasks at home, work or outdoors, the Samsung Galaxy A08 brings together practical performance, dust and splash resistance, and long-term software support in one dependable everyday device.

Built to go the distance, the Galaxy A08 is a practical choice for Malaysians looking for lasting value without compromising on the essentials.

Becoming healthier does not always begin with a major lifestyle change. Sometimes, it starts with an extra walk, a better night’s sleep or remembering to drink enough water during a long workout. What elevates these habits is tracking it to build meaningful insights into your progress and daily needs.

That is the thinking behind Samsung Electronics Malaysia’s latest health push, following the launch of the Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2. Alongside new health and fitness tracking capabilities, Samsung has been encouraging Malaysians to put those healthy intentions into practice through their quarterly step challenges on the Samsung Health app. The most recent challenge, which concluded in September, saw over 10,000 Malaysians participate with the goal of accomplishing 150,000 steps over the span of 3 weeks.

The initiatives come as overall health and physical activity remain an important area of concern in Malaysia. Malaysia’s National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023 reported that 1 in 3 adults in Malaysia are not physically active, and 1 in 2 lead sedentary lifestyles¹. Key findings in the NHMS: Nutrition study in 2024 also found that only 17.1% of adults met the recommended intake of 2 servings of fruit and only 12.2% met 3 servings of vegetables a day.²

For Samsung, technology has an important role to play in helping people maintain an active lifestyle and healthier diets.

“Good health needs to be maintained through the small choices we make every day and simply being more aware of how our bodies are responding to our routines. We shouldn’t wait for something to go wrong before thinking about our health,” Charles Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics said.

“With Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2, we want to make that awareness easier to act on,” he added. “By combining continuous health tracking with AI-powered insights, we can help people turn complex data into simpler, more useful guidance. And through initiatives like our Samsung Health x HOKA Community Run and Move Together with Malaysia step challenge, we hope to encourage Malaysians to take that first step, and stay active together.”

Bringing healthier habits to life

In conjunction with the launch of the new Galaxy Watch lineup, Samsung collaborated with sportswear brand HOKA to empower Malaysian with the tools, insights and support they need to train smarter and live healthier. Local initiatives included a pre-order exclusive for early birds, the nationwide Move Together with Malaysia step challenge hosted on the Samsung Health app, a community run in Kuala Lumpur on 5 September, and an exclusive Samsung Members e-voucher for 20% off selected HOKA products, valid from now until 31 December 2026.

The momentum continued with Samsung’s nationwide Move Together with Malaysia step challenge, which invited Malaysians to make movement part of their daily routine. Participants simply needed to have the Samsung Health app on their smartphones and complete 150,000 steps during the challenge period. Those who completed the challenge could redeem a RM200 voucher.³

By turning activity into a shared challenge, fitness feels less like a solitary goal and more like something people can pursue together, one step at a time.

The challenge was deliberately straightforward. Rather than asking people to overhaul their routines, it gave them a tangible target to work towards over several weeks. A morning walk, an evening run, extra steps during the working day – all of it counted.

Health tracking that goes beyond counting steps

Both Galaxy Watch9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra2 feature Samsung’s updated health experience, bringing together core areas including Activity, Mindfulness, Nutrition, Sleep and Vitals through Samsung Health. Rather than simply presenting users with a collection of numbers, the watches use AI-powered insights to translate biometric data into more meaningful, personalized guidance.

Among the new capabilities is Nutrition Alert, which introduces hydration guidance during supported activities. During extended exercise, the watch can estimate sweat loss relative to body weight and provide guidance on when and how much fluid to consume.

For runners and people spending time outdoors, that means hydration can become part of the workout data they actively pay attention to, alongside pace, distance and exertion. This is particularly relevant for Malaysians, where heat and humidity can make hydration an important consideration during outdoor activity.

The Galaxy watches also introduce a broader suite of insights designed to help users understand their overall wellbeing. Heart Health Score⁴ combines factors including activity, sleep, body composition and stress trends into a single metric, while Daily Cardio Load⁵ helps users understand training intensity and recovery needs. Fitness Index⁶ provides a broader view of physical fitness and helps users set personalized goals based on their activity and body composition.

For Galaxy Watch9 users, sleep and recovery are also central to the experience. The watch uses overnight health signals to establish a personal baseline through Vitals⁷, helping users identify meaningful changes over time.

Together, these capabilities reflect Samsung’s vision of simpler, connected care – where technology works quietly in the background, helping users make sense of their health data and take practical steps towards their individual wellness goals.

Keep Moving Towards A Healthier You with Samsung and HOKA

Building healthy habits goes beyond tracking your steps and monitoring your wellness. To encourage Malaysians to stay active, Samsung has teamed up with HOKA to offer Samsung Members exclusive savings on selected HOKA products.

Samsung Members can redeem an exclusive e-voucher through the Samsung Members app to enjoy 20% off selected HOKA products on HOKA’s website. Offer valid until 31 December 2026.⁸

Across the five regions, Samsung highlighted AI appliance technologies and how they are applied in everyday life to reflect local lifestyles: kitchen-centered AI homes in North America; energy-efficient built-in AI appliances in Europe; SmartThings-connected AI homes in Latin America; climate- and family-conscious solutions in Southwest Asia; and appliances for homes and businesses in Southeast Asia.

The events brought together about 270 media representatives and influencers from 23 countries. Through hands-on experiences with a range of products, attendees discovered how AI appliances can serve as “Home Companions,” reducing the burden of household chores, managing energy consumption, and looking after the everyday needs of family members.

US: Making Everyday Life at Home More Convenient With AI Appliances

“The Brief New York,” held April 15–16 (local time) at a Samsung showroom in New Jersey, focused on how AI appliances can make household chores less demanding and improve quality of life. Samsung demonstrated AI features in refrigerators and ovens that make everyday kitchen tasks easier, from managing ingredients to preparing meals.

Attendees saw how the “AI Vision” feature of the Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub recognizes not only food ingredients but also labels on containers, automatically adding items to the Food List. The demonstration showed how AI helps users easily keep track of what is in their refrigerator and avoid unnecessary duplicate purchases.

The “AI Pro Cooking” feature of the Bespoke AI Oven also drew attention. Its internal camera recognizes ingredients, recommends optimal cooking settings, and monitors changes in food color to notify users as their meals cook. Together, these capabilities demonstrated how AI can take the hassle out of cooking.

Samsung also presented a refrigerator lineup designed around the needs of North American consumers, who value ample food storage, hygiene, and efficient use of space, underscoring its ability to deliver AI appliances tailored to local needs.

Europe: Helping Consumers Save Energy With High-Efficiency Built-In AI Appliances

Energy efficiency took center stage at “The Brief Milan,” held April 21 in Milan, Italy, where Samsung presented a range of high-efficiency AI appliances for European consumers.

The “Bespoke AI Washer” drew attention for reducing energy use by an additional 65% compared with Europe’s Class A energy efficiency threshold, while the “Bespoke AI Dishwasher” cuts energy use by up to 20% against the same benchmark. Samsung highlighted how these advanced energy-saving technologies can help consumers reduce their energy consumption while offering the added benefits of AI-powered appliances.

In the kitchen, Samsung presented the Extractor Induction Hob, the built-in Bespoke AI Dishwasher, and a refrigerator with “AI Precise Cooling,” which helps minimize internal temperature fluctuations.

Together, these innovations illustrated Samsung’s vision for an AI home optimized for European living environments, combining energy-saving technologies, appliances that blend seamlessly into living spaces, and connected experiences powered by SmartThings.

Latin America: Bringing AI Homes Together Through SmartThings Connectivity

In Latin America, SmartThings connectivity was a central theme, bringing multiple appliances together into a unified AI home ecosystem. Events were held on August 19 in São Paulo, Brazil, and September 9 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Attendees experienced how SmartThings lets users check the operating status of individual appliances and manage and control them as needed. Samsung emphasized that bringing everyday appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, under one connected system can make life at home significantly more convenient.

Samsung demonstrated the practical benefits of SmartThings-connected appliances designed for local living environments and daily habits.

Southwest Asia: From Personalized Cooling to Family Care, AI Appliances That Look After Everyday Needs

Personalized cooling and family care were among the highlights of “The Brief,” held September 16 in Gurugram, India, reflecting the region’s hot, humid climate and family-centered lifestyle.

In the air conditioner experience zone, Samsung demonstrated five airflow control modes powered by the “Motion Wind” technology in its Bespoke AI WindFree Pro Air Conditioner. A highlight was the “WindFree Wearable Good Sleep” mode, which connects to Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring devices to adjust cooling based on users’ sleep stages and changes in body temperature, creating a comfortable sleep environment.

In the kitchen appliance experience zone, Samsung introduced “Now Brief,” which delivers personalized information on the screen of the Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub, and “Family Care,” which monitors family members’ device usage patterns to check on their well-being. Together, these features demonstrated how AI can go beyond simplifying household chores to provide personalized experiences and help look after family members in their daily lives.

Samsung also highlighted its service offerings, including SmartThings Home Care and remote appliance management, which extend support beyond the initial purchase to everyday use, maintenance, and ongoing care.

Southeast Asia: Expanding Appliance Solutions from Homes to Businesses

The final stop was Hanoi, Vietnam, where Samsung unveiled a broad range of appliance solutions for both individual consumers and business customers at “The Brief Hanoi” on October 14. The event brought together leading media representatives and influencers from six Southeast Asian countries.

The event took place at Samsung’s newly renovated Business Experience Studio (BES). In spaces recreating real-world settings such as schools, hotels, and commercial facilities, attendees explored firsthand how Samsung’s products and solutions can be applied across a variety of business environments.

Samsung placed particular emphasis on its heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) portfolio, highlighting the company’s strengths in this emerging growth business and reinforcing its market position. The company also previewed its 2027 air conditioner lineup, featuring updated designs and AI-powered capabilities such as “AI Energy Mode.”

For residential appliances, Samsung demonstrated AI-powered convenience features, including “AI Vision” and “Bixby.” The company also introduced its approach to ongoing product care, which combines software updates for up to seven years and its “Home Appliance Remote Management (HRM)” service. The HRM service remotely diagnoses potential issues and provides users with guidance. Together, these services help improve appliance functionality and usability long after purchase.

Looking ahead, Samsung plans to further expand its AI appliance offerings and services to reflect the unique living environments, lifestyles, and consumer needs of each region, strengthening its competitive position in the global AI home market.

From belting out your favourite chorus to catching that unforgettable moment when your favourite artist takes the stage, concerts are all about memories worth reliving. And with a stellar line-up dotting a busy season of concerts in Malaysia like Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza and BTS bringing fans together, Malaysia’s concert scene is giving music lovers plenty to look forward to.

But while the live experience is unmatched, capturing it on your phone is a different story. Dim lighting, artists performing from a distance and the excitement of singing, dancing and jumping along can make getting that perfect shot a challenge. Nobody wants to look back at their concert gallery only to find blurry videos, grainy photos or footage that shakes with every beat.

Enter the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, a smartphone built on the Galaxy S Series’ camera DNA to help fans capture more of the moments that make live music special. With its powerful camera capabilities, ProVisual Engine and Super Steady Video with Horizontal Lock, it gives concertgoers more ways to bring home the sights, sounds and excitement of a night to remember.

Never Lose Sight of Your Favourite Moments

On an action-packed stage, you might lose focus on your favourite artists. Fortunately, the Galaxy S26 FE also features a My FanCam¹, a game changer in creating your favourite concert content. A feature introduced with the latest Galaxy Z8 Series, My FanCam lets you keep focus on who you want, always helping you get the shot you want.

Jump, Sing and Dance. Let Super Steady Handle the Action.

A concert is not exactly the place to stand perfectly still. You are singing along, jumping to the beat, waving your hands and reacting to every surprise on stage. Trying to record all that excitement while keeping your phone steady can be a challenge in itself.

With Super Steady² Video, the Galaxy S26 FE helps you capture smoother footage while you move with the music. Its Horizontal Lock feature combines expanded optical angles with gyro and acceleration sensors to recognise the direction of gravity and keep your video level, even when you rotate the phone through a full 360 degrees.

That means you can focus on enjoying the moment without worrying quite as much about every movement affecting your footage. From recording an energetic chorus to capturing the crowd singing in unison, Super Steady Video helps keep your memories smoother and easier to watch back.

When the Lights Go Down, Your Camera Should Step Up

Concerts are a visual spectacle, from dramatic spotlights sweeping across the stage to colourful LED displays illuminating the arena. Yet, these atmospheric lighting conditions can be challenging for smartphone cameras, often resulting in grainy images or lost details just when the show gets good.

The Galaxy S26 FE helps make those after-dark memories worth keeping, with low-light capabilities designed to produce clearer, brighter photos and videos while reducing noise and preserving important details. Whether it is the anticipation before the opening act, a sea of fans waving their light sticks or the emotional finale of a favourite song, you can capture the atmosphere without letting the darkness steal the moment.

Powered by Samsung’s ProVisual Engine³, the Galaxy S26 FE enhances image quality and helps preserve detail across a wide range of shooting situations. The result? Sharp details, vibrant colours and lifelike clarity, with less effort required from you. So, when the stage lights hit and the crowd erupts, you can spend less time worrying about your camera settings and more time enjoying the show.

Your Favourite Artists, Closer Than Ever

Whether you are seated in the upper tiers or standing among thousands of fans, your favourite artist can sometimes feel a little too far away.

That is where the Galaxy S26 FE’s 50MP camera and zoom capabilities come into play. Designed to help preserve details, textures and colours, its high-resolution camera gives you more flexibility to capture the action on stage, from an artist’s signature outfit to those expressive moments between songs.

Instead of settling for a distant figure surrounded by bright lights, you can bring more of the performance into focus and capture photos that help you relive the experience. It is especially useful when your favourite singer hits that iconic note, your favourite band launches into its biggest anthem or the entire arena lights up for a crowd-favourite song.

Beyond Photography

The Galaxy S26 FE also brings AI experiences closer to home for Malaysian users. Samsung is expanding Galaxy AI language support to include Malay across features such as Call Assist, Note Assist, Interpreter and Transcript Assist, making it easier to translate conversations, interpret notes, and work across voice recordings in a language Malaysians use every day. Now Nudge also adds Malay language support, helping users get relevant suggestions based on what is on their screen. It’s another step by Samsung towards making AI more accessible and useful in daily life.

Every Malaysian knows the nightly ritual: lowering the temperature on the air conditioner to beat the heat, only to wake up freezing at 3AM with dry skin and a blast of cold air straight to the face, and the quiet dread of the next electricity bill. In our tropical weather, staying cool can sometimes feel like a trade-off between personal comfort, a good night’s sleep and energy costs. But smarter cooling isn’t just about making a room colder, it’s about creating an environment that adapts to how you live, rest and use energy.

1. Enjoy Cooling Comfort Without Direct Cold Drafts

A strong blast of cold air may offer instant relief from Malaysia’s tropical heat, but prolonged exposure to air conditioning can leave the skin feeling dry. This can be especially noticeable at night, when direct cold air may cause discomfort as you sleep.

The Samsung Bespoke AI WindFree Premium Pro air-conditioner offers a gentler approach with WindFree Still Air Technology. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, cool air is evenly dispersed through 23,000 micro air holes across the front panel, creating a still-air environment without the direct cold drafts. This allows users to stay cool throughout the day and night, whether working, relaxing or sleeping, without having cold air constantly blowing directly at them.

2. Create a Better Sleeping Environment with AI-Powered Sleep Care

A good night’s sleep can make all the difference to how we feel the next day, but changes in our body’s temperature throughout the night can sometimes disrupt restful sleep.

Through Samsung SmartThings ecosystem, the Bespoke AI WindFree Premium Pro can work seamlessly with compatible Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring devices. With WindFree Wearable Good Sleep Mode, the wearable detects when a user falls asleep, allowing the air conditioner to automatically adjust cooling throughout different sleep stages. As the connected devices work together to adapt the cooling throughout the night, users can rest without having to wake up to repeatedly adjust the temperature themselves.

3. Energy Efficiency That Benefits Both Homes and the Planet

As air conditioners are frequently used in Malaysian homes, energy consumption can be a key consideration for households looking to manage electricity bills, while reducing their environmental impact.

The Bespoke AI WindFree Premium Pro uses AI Auto Cooling and Smart Energy Saving to analyze room conditions, usage patterns and external factors, automatically adjusting cooling and optimizing compressor operation to minimize unnecessary energy use.

With AI Energy Mode, users can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, helping households spend smarter on electricity while reducing overall energy demand and contributing to a more sustainable home.

A Cooler Home, An Enjoyable Everyday Life

From gentler cooling and more restful nights to smarter energy use, the right technology can make a meaningful difference to everyday life at home. By adapting to different needs throughout the day and night, the Samsung Bespoke AI WindFree Premium Pro brings intelligent cooling together with greater energy efficiency for modern households.

Healthy living is often associated with choices about what we eat and how we exercise. However, wellbeing can also be shaped by the environments and routines we return to every day. For instance, in addition to diet and fitness, our health can be affected by our quality of sleep and how much effort – both mental and physical – is spent on everyday household chores.

That makes the home an important part of the wider wellness picture. AI-powered solutions can change how we manage daily tasks – from refrigerators that suggest healthy recipes, to automated laundry cycles that can help reduce both mental and physical effort. With intelligent innovations that can seamlessly support everyday routines around rest, eating, and household care, living better can be made easier.

A good night’s sleep hinges on comfort to help us fall asleep and more importantly, stay asleep. Samsung’s Bespoke AI WindFree Air Conditioner is designed to make cooling feel gentler. With WindFree Cooling, air is dispersed through 23,000 micro air holes¹, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor environment without unpleasant cold drafts.

Getting quality rest is an important priority in the region, with 66% of respondents in a Samsung Health App survey² indicating that they are actively working on improving their sleep. During warm and humid nights common in Malaysia, the temperature that feels right at bedtime may not remain comfortable for the hours that follow as we go through different stages of the sleep cycle. With the Bespoke AI WindFree Air Conditioner, the cooling experience can be personalized when the air conditioner is connected to a compatible Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring through SmartThings³.

When a connected wearable detects that the user has fallen asleep, WindFree Wearable Good Sleep mode can automatically activate WindFree cooling and adapt to body signals to make temperature adjustments. This can help to reduce nighttime awakenings, enabling users to wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated⁴.

Supporting Healthier Eating Habits Through Smarter Food Management

Planning healthier meals often starts with knowing what is already in the kitchen, what needs to be used first and what can be easily prepared.

On supported Samsung refrigerators like the Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub, AI Vision⁵ technology can help users keep track of what they already have and identify what they need.⁶ For example, you might be standing in the supermarket trying to remember if you have ingredients for that new healthy recipe you wanted to try for dinner today. With AI Food Manager, you can easily check a food list⁷ to see if you have what you need via the SmartThings app⁸ – no more guessing and ending up with items you don’t actually need.

And if you’re home and stuck with no ideas for what to cook, the AI Food Manager can make the decision for you, by recommending recipes based on what’s already available in your fridge. This reduces the mental load of meal prep and makes the process more efficient. What’s for Today is a new feature available on select models – depending on the user selection, the function can offer menu recommendations based on either a random suggestion or available refrigerator contents, turning the daily question of what to cook into a more engaging and gamified experience.

In addition, side-by-side refrigerators with the 9-inch Family Hub display can serve as a central control hub for connected Samsung smart appliances, allowing users to control appliances directly from the refrigerator display.⁹ Supported by Bixby, verbal cues provide an additional hands-free way to interact with the refrigerator while cooking or preparing meals.

The refrigerator’s role is not to decide what a healthy meal should look like for every household. Instead, it makes information readily accessible, enabling you to make easier decisions about what to eat.

Simplifying Laundry Routines for Greater Wellbeing

Living well at home is shaped not only by resting and eating well, but also by how well you can manage daily life. Laundry can involve a long chain of small tasks – from choosing settings and measuring detergent amounts, to keeping track of when the cycle ends and moving wet clothes for drying. Minimizing steps in this tiresome routine can help lighten the mental load of everyday household care, freeing up time for more rest or quality moments with loved ones.

Samsung’s latest Bespoke AI laundry solutions are designed to make washing more convenient and effortless. AI Wash+ uses multiple sensors to detect load weight and five different fabric types, ¹⁰automatically dispense the right amount of water and detergent, and continuously monitor soil levels during the wash cycle. If needed, it can also adjust detergent use and washing time accordingly to deliver efficient¹¹ and thorough cleaning performance.

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo brings washing and drying into one appliance. Clothes can move from washing to drying without being transferred between separate machines, reducing interruptions and adding yet another task to your day.

Meanwhile, the 7-inch Smart Screen offers a central view to check on your wash cycle and access controls, while the Bixby voice assistant support conversational voice control.

Together, these features can help reduce the manual steps and lighten the mental load of managing your laundry.

Bringing Wellness Together Through a Connected Home Ecosystem

• A single DVM S2 outdoor unit can connect up to 64 indoor units, minimizing the installation footprint, while with integrated Active AI the building’s operating patterns in real time to hold precise target temperatures and pressures.
• Ideal for retrofits, the DVM S2’s sub-cooling control and smaller main liquid pipe cut overall refrigerant charge by up to 30%¹ — so one system can thread through an occupied building, with 10-plus indoor unit types² to suit existing lobbies, guest rooms and open-plan floors, without major structural work.
• Paired with the DVM S2, SmartThings Pro enables multi-site monitoring, automated scheduling, energy analytics and reporting, and a customizable dashboard — so an entire estate runs from a single screen.

Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, thousands of office towers, hotels, malls and mixed-use developments were constructed before sustainability was ever a priority. With fluctuating climates across the region, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is the fastest-growing use of energy in buildings³ — and as electricity prices climb, these ageing properties grow more expensive to run every year.

That makes HVAC systems the first place a retrofit should address. It is also the system most feasible for upgrading without structural work, so the return on investment materializes fast. Tearing a building down to start over, by contrast, is costly, carbon-intensive and slow. As such, a growing number of owners are now asking a different question: what if the smarter move is to upgrade what is already standing?

There are hardware and management tools that can address this growing need. For instance, integrating Samsung’s AI-powered energy management solutions with its intelligent HVAC and connected building technology can help sharpen efficiency and extend a building’s life at once.

Samsung’s DVM S2, Samsung’s Variable Refrigerant Flow system connects a single outdoor unit to as many as 64 indoor units, reducing the new piping and structural work a retrofit demands, while SmartThings Pro’s AI Energy Mode can automatically adjust each connected device against real-time conditions, electricity rates and comfort levels. Together they turn an older property into a responsive, efficient asset — without major structural renovation.

AI-enabled HVAC management: the fastest route to energy savings

Because cooling often carries the heaviest energy load in commercial buildings, it is where a retrofit pays back fastest.

Keen to balance historical preservation with guest comfort, the Bali Beach Hotel Sanur turned to Samsung’s DVM solution for space-tailored cooling — where temperatures are tuned to different environments like lobbies, spa rooms and fitness centers — paired with energy-saving technology and integrated B2B controls. With customizable systems and end-to-end support from consultation through to maintenance, the hotel was modernized without the upheaval a full mechanical overhaul would have forced on a heritage structure.

Where the DVM S2 goes further is efficiency. Rather than running at full capacity by default, the system learns a building’s cooling patterns to intelligently maintain the precise pressures and temperatures each space requires, effectively reducing compressor energy usage by up to 15%.⁴ Beyond hotels, a Bangkok office tower or a Sydney shopping center can also enjoy efficiency gains from the moment the system is calibrated to how the building operates.

The rise of buildings that learn to optimize themselves

Historically, a retrofit was a single intervention whose performance declined gradually as conditions changed. Intelligent systems overturn that premise: the building continues to learn long after installation is complete. The DVM S2 continuously detects indoor conditions and responds in real time, while SmartThings Pro’s AI Energy Mode weighs live occupancy, weather and electricity tariffs to determine how hard each unit should work at any given moment.

The outcome is a building that adapts to how it is actually used — easing demand on unoccupied floors, and shifting load away from peak-tariff periods. These features ensure efficiency is maintained over time, so a building that once needed periodic recommissioning can keep tuning its own performance, season after season.

How connected ecosystems reduce operating and maintenance costs

The most significant long-term savings are often found not in kilowatt-hours, but in the service calls that never become necessary.

Since the DVM S2 and SmartThings Pro operate on a single connected platform, a facilities team can oversee an entire estate from one dashboard: viewing real-time energy analytics, performance trends and early warnings that surface before a fault escalates into a failure.

Predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics can identify a struggling compressor or a refrigerant leak, allowing many issues to be resolved before an engineer is dispatched.

For owners running portfolios spread across cities, multi-site monitoring consolidates a dispersed estate into a single coherent view — this means fewer emergency repairs, reduced downtime and a maintenance program guided by real-time condition data rather than fixed intervals.

This connected ecosystem approach is being incorporated into new developments like Grantz Forest Park, a mixed-use project led by Samsung’s B2B Integrated Offering Center. The development is planned for Cebu, the Philippines, where residential facility managers will be able to remotely check in on the status of facilities through SmartThings Pro, while the Samsung Building Integrated Solution ‘b.IoT’ will enable control and management of HVAC, lighting, and power facilities to enhance building energy efficiency.

The path forward runs through buildings we already have

It’s tempting to treat new construction as the only real form of progress. But in Southeast Asia and Oceania, where HVAC systems consume significant volumes of energy and thousands of buildings already stand, the bigger opportunity isn’t in what gets built next — it’s in upgrading what’s already there.

For building owners across Southeast Asia and Oceania, the question shifts from whether to modernize, to how they can retrofit existing structures. With AI-powered HVAC solutions from Samsung, the region’s offices, hotel buildings, mixed-used developments and more, can look forward to the benefits offered by efficient and intelligent HVAC systems.
