Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced a global partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios to mark the theatrical release of this summer’s epic new superhero adventure “Supergirl” on June 24. Through the partnership, Samsung is bringing fans closer to the film through Samsung Art Store, a Samsung Micro RGB TV sweepstakes in collaboration with electronics retailer Best Buy and select U.S. and U.K. experiences in support of its global release.

“Samsung’s display business has long been shaped by the way people engage with film, sports, games and art,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through this partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios, we are bringing together the exciting, intergalactic visual world of ‘Supergirl’ with Samsung’s bold display experiences at home.”

Samsung Art Store, the leading digital art platform on Samsung Art TVs, is giving users a new way to experience DC-inspired art at home with a limited-time “Supergirl” collection, available now through March 8, 2027. Featuring 15 digital artworks from DC Comics, the collection brings the character’s comic legacy to life across Samsung’s expanded 2026 Art TV lineup.[1]

In the U.S., Samsung and Best Buy are launching “Supergirl” sweepstakes at more than 600 participating Best Buy stores nationwide from June 22 through July 19. Special “Supergirl” content will play on Samsung Micro RGB TV displays in each store, where the display’s precise color expression will reveal a hidden riddle. The answer to this riddle will unlock additional entries to the sweepstakes.

As part of the film’s global press tour, the Supergirl Rest Stop pop-up at Phonica Records in London on June 20 featured Samsung 2026 TV and home audio lineups throughout film-inspired spaces, including Supergirl’s bedroom, Kara’s Ship, the Intergalactic Bus Stop and Space Bar.

“The compelling visual world that Craig Gillespie and his teams bring to life in ‘Supergirl’ is unlike anything we’ve seen in the DC Universe, and Samsung, through their innovative Art Store, brings consumers together with their singular technology to deliver that experience on their screens,” said Julie Moore, Head of Global Brand Partnerships at Warner Bros. Pictures. “Having partnered with them on ‘Superman,’ we were eager to work with them again to see how brilliant their ‘Supergirl’ experience would be, and they delivered.”

As the global TV market leader for 20 consecutive years,[2] Samsung continues to work across film, retail and home entertainment to connect audiences with the stories they follow on screen.

Art has long been a reflection of personal style, helping homeowners shape spaces that feel uniquely their own. Today, that expression extends beyond traditional mediums and into the devices that occupy the heart of the home, including the television.

Designed to seamlessly blend art, technology and design, the 2026 Samsung The Frame Pro and The Frame transform the TV from a screen into a statement piece. Whether displaying artwork from a world-renowned exhibition, showcasing personal photographs, or delivering immersive entertainment, Samsung’s Art TVs are designed to complement modern living spaces while elevating everyday experiences.

Curious how an Art TV can transform your living space? Here are three ways Samsung’s 2026 The Frame Pro and The Frame bring together premium display technology, world-renowned art and thoughtful design to elevate the modern home.

1. A Personal Gallery with World-Renowned Art

Bringing art into the home has never been easier. Homeowners now have more opportunities than ever to discover, curate and enjoy artwork without leaving their homes.

According to Samsung’s 2025 Southeast Asia and Oceania TV Awareness Survey[1], 83% of consumers familiar with The Frame agree that it is equipped with the latest technology. Samsung’s 2026 The Frame Pro and The Frame go beyond traditional television experiences with innovative Art TV features that bring world-renowned artworks directly into the home:

• The Samsung Art Store features more than 5,000 works from over 800 artists and more than 80 global partners — including collaborations with Moomin and Art Basel 2026.
• Art Store Streams[2] deliver a curated collection of 30 complimentary artworks every month, refreshed around new themes and artistic styles.
• The new The Frame 98”[3] bring a new scale of immersion with its majestic screen, transforming living spaces into private galleries.

2. Premium Entertainment for Every Home

While The Frame is known for its artistic appeal, it is also designed to deliver premium entertainment experiences for everyday viewing. The survey found that 79% of consumers aware of The Frame associate it with exceptional picture quality, while 78% view it as a premium and high-end TV.

The 2026 lineup delivers on these expectations through a combination of advanced display technology and intelligent experiences.

Exceptional Picture Quality

• Neo QLED 4K and Neo Quantum HDR on The Frame Pro bring every image to life with brilliant colour, remarkable depth and ultra-precise contrast.
• Quantum Mini LEDs that precisely control light for deeper contrast and sharper detail.
• Real Quantum Dot technology that produces more vibrant, true-to-life colors.

Smarter Viewing with Samsung Vision AI Companion

Beyond picture quality, The Frame Pro and The Frame are equipped with Samsung Vision AI Companion, Samsung’s integrated AI platform designed to make the TV more intuitive and context aware.

Through a dedicated AI button[4] or a long-press of the Home button[5]on the Samsung smart remote, users can interact with content in new ways, from learning about characters and plotlines to controlling playback through voice commands.

Designed for Art and Entertainment

Whether displaying artwork or streaming a movie, both The Frame models are designed to deliver a comprehensive viewing experience.

• Glare Free display[6] keeps distractions to a minimum, reducing reflections while preserving vivid color and brightness.
• Q-Symphony, which synchronizes compatible Samsung TVs and soundbars for richer audio experiences.

3. Designed to Elevate Every Living Space

A television is more than an entertainment device these days, it is also part of the home’s overall design. 75% of consumers familiar with The Frame associate it with an elevated look and feel. Designed to complement modern interiors, the TVs seamlessly blend form and function through:

• Modern Frame Design that resembles a framed artwork.
• Customisable magnetic bezels[8] that snap on easily to suit different interior styles and personal preferences.

With the Wireless One Connect[9], The Frame Pro connects wirelessly to a separate box that can be placed up to 30 feet away from the TV, keeping cables out of sight and creating a cleaner, more refined set up.

Both TVs can also be mounted nearly flush against the wall using Samsung’s Slim Fit Wall Mount, helping it resemble a framed artwork rather than a traditional television.

Whether serving as a statement piece in the living room, displaying artwork throughout the day, or providing immersive entertainment for movie nights, Samsung’s 2026 The Frame Pro and The Frame are designed to integrate naturally into modern homes, bringing together art, technology and thoughtful design in a single experience.

TV and Wireless One Connect require separate power cord connections.

Entertainment is no longer confined to a single place. Today’s viewing journeys unfold across different screens, moments and contexts.

A show may begin with a clip, a trailer shared in a group chat, or a recommendation that arrives mid-scroll. This is not fragmentation. It is how modern viewing works. The more interesting question is not how many screens we use, but what each screen does best, and why despite the plethora of display options made available to consumers, the TV continues to hold a special place in how people experience entertainment at home.

According to Samsung’s 2025 Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) TV Awareness Survey[1], 65% of the region’s consumers watch TV daily. It’s clear that even as viewing journeys happen across more screens, TV remains part of the everyday rhythm in many households.

From Discovery to Presence

Mobile plays an important role in the viewing journey. It is always within reach, making it suitable for discovery, quick viewing, social sharing, and entertainment on the go.

At the same time, some viewing moments are especially suited for the big screen as TV brings scale, comfort and shared presence to entertainment experiences at home.

For instance, watching a live sports match on the big screen can bring the excitement from the stadium into living rooms. With features like AI Soccer Mode[2], sound and picture are optimized so viewers can enjoy every single bit of the gameday action from the comfort of their homes. This is why close to 40% of SEAO Smart TV users mirror, cast or stream from their phone to the TV, showing how consumers value the flexibility of mobile viewing while appreciating the big screen experience.

Rather than choosing between screens, consumers are moving fluidly across them. Mobile devices offer mobility and immediacy, while TV brings scale, comfort, and presence.

A Smarter Way to Navigate Entertainment

Modern viewing no longer begins only when someone turns on the TV. It often starts elsewhere, before making its way there. The role of the Smart TV is to make that transition feel seamless, intuitive and coherent.

That is why the interface matters as much as the display. Viewers should be able to move easily between entertainment, apps and experiences.

Samsung’s One UI Tizen[3] reflects this shift by making everyday entertainment smoother to navigate. Viewers can easily access apps, customize the home screen, stream content, and enjoy gaming through built-in smart features, creating a TV experience that feels intuitive, personal and connected. With up to seven years of OS upgrades[4], our TVs are future-proof and kept up to date with security enhancements and performance improvements.

Furthermore, Samsung Smart TVs support the way people move between screens. They allow users to conveniently mirror mobile content on the TV, use Multi View to watch TV and mobile content at the same time, display personal photos, and use the phone as a remote control.

Where the Moment Comes to Life

Once the journey reaches the TV, the screen determines how the moment lands. This is where picture, sound and intelligence work together.

Features[5] such as Glare Free, HDR10+, and Object Tracking Sound+ (OTS+) help shape how entertainment feels on the big screen. For instance, whether with daylight or indoor lighting, our advanced anti-glare technology reduces reflections to a barely noticeable level, so that viewing experiences stay clear, comfortable, and uninterrupted. Meanwhile, HDR10+ uncovers delicate details across deep shadows to vibrant highlights, bringing greater dimension and immersion to each scene. Additionally, OTS+ helps sound follow on-screen movement for a more immersive audio experience.

Samsung Vision AI[6] adds another layer by enabling the TV experience to adapt more intelligently to content and environment. Through AI Customization Mode, AI Optimized Mode and AI Sound Controller, the TV can enhance visual detail, fine-tune audio and adjust settings to better match what viewers are watching and where they are watching it.

As a result, films feel more cinematic, with light, shadow and color carrying greater depth. Live matches feel more immediate, as motion and sound bring the room closer to the action. Gaming feels more immersive when the screen keeps pace with every moment. At its best, TV quietly enhances the experience, helping viewers stay immersed in the content and the moment.

On TV models[7] supporting Vision AI Companion[8], users can easily pull up related information and content recommendations, activate AI-powered picture and sound enhancements, and access AI apps and features directly on the TV with a click of the AI button or long-press of the Home button on the remote control.

The journey does not have to end when viewing stops. Samsung’s The Frame extends the role of TV beyond entertainment by allowing the screen to remain an integral part of the room when not in use.

The Frame can display renowned pieces that transform the screen into a personal gallery, reflecting individual tastes and complementing the style of the home. Through the Samsung Art Store[9], users can access more than 5,000 selections from world-famous artists and institutions, with collections that continue to evolve and expand across different genres and themes.

Recent collaborations include the partnership with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which bring celebrated works by artists such as Diego Rivera and Piet Mondrian into the home. The Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 Collection also features works from emerging and established contemporary artists, imbuing the energy and creativity of their work into everyday living spaces.

This makes The Frame more than a screen for watching content. It becomes part of how people shape their spaces and appreciate art as another form of everyday entertainment.

The Right Screen for the Right Moment

The modern viewing journey does not depend on one screen doing everything. It is contingent on each screen playing its role at the right moment. Mobile helps the journey begin through discovery, immediacy and spontaneous moments. TV is where that journey becomes more focused, immersive and present.

In the multi-screen era, the TV complements the way we use devices. It gives entertainment a place to land and its presence can elevate a space. The journey may start anywhere and the big screen is where it all comes together.

“With The Frame for hotels, Samsung is bringing one of its most distinctive TV experiences to hospitality businesses,” said Hyoung Jae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to invest in hospitality display solutions that help brands deliver premium service, strengthen their brand identity and prepare for the next phase of connected guest experiences.”

A Hospitality Display Designed for Premium Spaces

With this hospitality model, Samsung brings the award-winning design and functionality of The Frame to hotels and corporate environments. The display combines 4K QLED picture quality with a refined form that fits naturally into premium interiors. Its Anti Glare panel reduces unwanted reflections, while the Slim Fit Wall Mount allows the TV to sit close to the wall for a clean, gallery-like installation. The Frame eliminates the need for a separate One Connect Box by integrating key connection components into the display, supporting simpler installation in hospitality spaces. Optional magnetic bezels allow hotel operators to customize the frame to match the mood and design of each space, as well[1].

Collection Hub gives The Frame its distinct value as an Art TV for hospitality environments, allowing hotel operators to display selected artwork, photography or brand visuals when the TV is not in active use. Generative Wallpaper lets guests create AI-generated backgrounds for the screen, adding a customized touch to their room experience. Together, these features help each display become part of the room’s design, whether presenting hotel-curated visuals or AI-generated imagery selected by guests.

As Samsung’s most premium hospitality TV offering, The Frame for hotels is the first model in Samsung’s hotel TV lineup to support Generative Wallpaper and Live Translate. Live Translate helps international travelers comfortably watch local broadcasts or Samsung TV Plus with subtitles in their preferred language. The result is more accessible local content for users traveling overseas[2].

Beginning with Samsung’s 2025 hotel TV lineup, and extending to the HL03H model, Google Cast and Apple AirPlay support allows guests to share content from a smartphone or tablet to the in-room TV by scanning an on-screen QR code. No separate login is required, and device connection information is automatically deleted upon checkout to help protect guest privacy[3].

Managing Hospitality Features From One Platform

LYNK Cloud, Samsung’s comprehensive hospitality cloud solution, helps hotel teams monitor TV status in real time, update on-screen services and distribute guest-facing content across connected displays from a central platform[4].

With the support of LYNK Cloud, guests can access digital concierge features, book hotel services and order room service through the in-room TV. This gives hotels another way to connect guests with property services directly from the display.

LYNK Cloud also includes Business Intelligence, a feature that helps hotel teams understand how guests use in-room TV services, including frequently ordered menu items or popular TV channels. These insights can support more relevant offerings and help identify new revenue opportunities.

Furthermore, LYNK Cloud supports Collection Hub management on hospitality model of The Frame. With it, hotel teams can distribute selected art content across connected devices simultaneously. They can adjust brightness and color tone based on indoor lighting conditions, as well, helping each display fit the hotel’s brand concept and room environment.

Samsung will showcase The Frame for hotels at booth 2442 during HITEC 2026. The new model will be available in 43-, 55-, 65- and 75-inch sizes, with global rollout beginning in the second half of 2026[5].

S95H, the latest flagship OLED TV, recently earned Pantone Validated ArtfulColor certification, a designation awarded to TVs, displays, cameras and printers that reproduce color with a high degree of fidelity under controlled lighting conditions. That means stunningly precise colors when watching content and a realistic, museum-like experience when displaying art.

▲ 2026 OLED TV S95H has earned Pantone Validated ArtfulColor certification for faithful color reproduction. S95H displays The Pink Cloud by Henri Edmond Cross.

The certification is a particularly significant milestone for Samsung OLED, as S95H is engineered to deliver deep contrast, precise color expression and an unparalleled, distraction-free viewing experience. The TV’s deeper blacks and Glare Free technology help preserve textures and tonal variation, making art feel more immersive on screen.

To learn more about what this means for the art-viewing experience, Samsung Newsroom spoke with Ed Hattenberger, OEM Senior Color Scientist and Matt Knoll, OEM Technical Director, at X-Rite Pantone. They share how Pantone Validated ArtfulColor is evaluated, why color fidelity matters for viewing art and how display performance can shape the way artwork is experienced at home.

Q. Could you tell us a bit about your role at Pantone and the work you do?

Hattenberger: As an OEM Senior Color Scientist at X-Rite Pantone, I’ve spent more than 15 years specializing in Pantone color development standards and in bringing real-world colors into the digital realm. I also led the innovation of various digital color products at Pantone, including the Pantone Validated program.

Knoll: I’m an OEM Technical Director for X-Rite Pantone. I have more than 20 years of experience in hardware and firmware development at X-Rite, with much of my work focused on reflective color measurement and display calibration products.

▲ Pantone evaluates display performance under controlled lighting conditions as part of the Pantone Validated ArtfulColor process.

What Art Can Reveal About a Display

Q. What does Pantone Validated ArtfulColor evaluate and what does the validation mean for a display?

Hattenberger: Pantone Validated ArtfulColor evaluates the ability of displays to faithfully render on-screen colors to match an extensive range of physical Pantone Colors and Skin Tones under controlled lighting conditions. For displays, Pantone Validation means that a product’s color reproduction has been measured against Pantone’s reference color data and meets defined performance thresholds for color fidelity and consistency.

Knoll: Displays that earn ArtfulColor status reproduce the test colors with a high degree of visual accuracy, resulting in a close perceptual match between the on‑screen image and the physical color sample.

▲ Pantone ArtfulColor certification tests and confirms that the display can reliably reproduce real-world Pantone colors under controlled lighting conditions, similar to actual exhibition environments.

Q. What differences can viewers actually see when viewing a Pantone Validated ArtfulColor TV versus one that is not?

Hattenberger: A Pantone Validated ArtfulColor TV delivers more precise, trustworthy visuals, especially for artwork and photography. Viewers can expect cleaner neutrals, more lifelike skin tones and color saturation that better reflect the artist’s intent. These displays also preserve shadow detail, so every brushstroke and color appear more natural and consistent.

Q. Why does color fidelity matter more when a TV is used to display art and photography?

Knoll: In creative work, color is never incidental. Color, balance and slight variation all shape how a piece is experienced. That is why color fidelity matters so much. Even slight shifts can alter the mood, depth and overall intent of the original work.

▲ Pantone’s validation process measures how faithfully a display reproduces color under standardized viewing conditions.

The Science Behind Color Fidelity

Q. How does the ArtfulColor validation process work from start to finish?

Hattenberger: The process evaluates a display’s ability to match Pantone Colors under controlled lighting conditions. This involves measuring a set of Pantone colors and skin tones in a light booth, then assessing how faithfully the display reproduces them on screen under those same conditions.

Q. Why does controlled lighting matter when evaluating a display for art?

Knoll: Reproducing true real-world colors on screen depends on matching the light source, color sample and rendered content for the intended observer. Displays are typically measured against D65, an industry-standard white point that approximates neutral daylight, so it gives Pantone a consistent point of reference.

It also helps reduce the influence of warmer or cooler room lighting, which can change how white, contrast and color are perceived. Using controlled lighting helps ensure the display is evaluated as accurately and consistently as possible.

▲ By comparing digital images with physical color references, Pantone helps verify faithful color reproduction across a range of hues.

Q. How does Pantone make sure the results apply to real artwork and photography, not just lab test patterns?

Hattenberger: Pantone goes beyond digital test patterns by using physical color samples that behave more like real artistic media. That helps verify whether a display can accurately reproduce gradients, subtle tonal transitions, textures and near-neutral tones across artwork and other visually complex content.

At the same time, the home viewing environment can influence how color is perceived compared with a controlled test setting. Ambient light, reflections, viewing angle and even wall colors can all affect perception, so while validation confirms the display’s underlying performance, the room still plays an important role in what people see.

How Samsung OLED S95H Helps Art Look Its Best at Home

Q. From Pantone’s perspective, what makes Samsung OLED S95H well-suited to display art with high color fidelity?

Knoll: OLED is particularly well-suited to high-fidelity art reproduction because its pixel-level luminance control delivers true blacks and very high contrast, preserving fine detail critical to art. S95H’s wide color gamut supports accurate reproduction of saturated pigments, paints and digital art colors, while stable viewing angles help color and luminance remain consistent across the screen.

▲ S95H displays Apples and Cloth by Paul Cézanne.

Q. Samsung OLED S95H features award-winning Glare Free technology that eliminates distracting reflections. How do glare and reflections affect the way art is seen on screen?

Hattenberger: Glare and reflections can interfere with the way art is seen on screen. They lift black levels and soften contrast, which can reduce depth and color fidelity, especially in darker parts of an image. They can also introduce color casts from the surrounding environment, affecting neutrals and shifting hues.

When people view art, they expect a clear, unobstructed image. Reducing reflections helps preserve tonal accuracy and the integrity of the work.

Q. How has Pantone’s validation approach evolved alongside newer display technologies like OLED, HDR and wide color gamut?

Knoll: Pantone’s evaluation approach has evolved with display technology itself. With OLED, that includes evaluating pixel-level luminance control, deeper contrast, wider color reproduction and consistency from bright highlights to near-black areas.

Q. When viewers see the Pantone Validated ArtfulColor mark on a Samsung TV, what does it say about the viewing experience?

Hattenberger: The ArtfulColor mark signifies that S95H has been carefully evaluated to confirm a high level of color fidelity, including consistent hue rendering, stable grayscale performance and repeatable color behavior under controlled lighting conditions.

Ultimately, it gives viewers greater confidence that the art they see on screen is being presented faithfully to the original work.

S95H newly joins The Frame Pro and The Frame in receiving the certification, as Samsung remains the only TV brand to offer Pantone Validation ArtfulColor and continues to expand Samsung Art Store[1] across more screens. S95H features the new FloatLayer Design, with a slim metal bezel that mounts flush to the wall for a floating effect. This gallery-inspired look makes the display a striking centerpiece, particularly when displaying art. For the first time on a Samsung OLED TV,[2] Samsung Art Store subscribers can access over 5,000 works by more than 800 artists, including exclusive collections from MoMA, Musée d’Orsay, Art Basel and others.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced a new collaboration with MUNCH to add iconic artworks by Edvard Munch to Samsung Art Store. The digital collection makes 37 masterpieces such as “The Scream,” “The Dance of Life” and “Melancholy” — as well as several rare works from the museum’s collection — available to millions of users around the world.

“Samsung creates products that inspire people and help them express themselves through design and culture,” said Tommy Nilsson, TV & Audio Director at Samsung Nordics. “With Samsung Art Store, we make world-class art available to millions of people, and through this collaboration with MUNCH, we are bringing an important part of European artistic heritage into people’s homes.”

Samsung Art Store Opens Up MUNCH Archives

Alongside Munch’s iconic masterpieces, the collection offers a more intimate view of Edvard Munch’s artistry with rarely seen works such as “Garden with Trees” and “Two People at Table.” These works are part of a collection of treasures preserved in the museum’s archives, many of which must be kept in carefully controlled environments to protect them from further deterioration. Their condition makes them too vulnerable for public display, even at the museum in Oslo.

“This collaboration is an exciting opportunity to share Edvard Munch’s art with audiences beyond the museum’s walls in Oslo,” said Tone Hansen, Director of MUNCH. “Through Samsung’s global reach and Art TV technology, we can make Munch’s work more accessible to people around the world, and we are incredibly honored to collaborate with Samsung on this meaningful initiative.”

The collection will be exclusively available on Samsung’s Art TV lineup through Samsung Art Store, providing users with a close look at Munch’s private world by allowing them to explore and display the artist’s hidden gems at home.

Where Technology Meets Fine Art

Samsung is redefining the role of the TV in the home by merging premium display technology with elegant designs that blend naturally with any interior. As Samsung Art Store expands across the Art TV lineup, which includes The Frame, OLED, Neo QLED and Micro RGB,[1] the company is connecting everyday interiors with curated artwork from leading museums, galleries, and artists.

Through Samsung Art Store, users can access more than 5,000 artworks from renowned artists and institutions, now including works from MUNCH. Each piece is faithfully reproduced in high quality, allowing people around the world to enjoy art as part of everyday life.

Samsung Electronics’ Music Studio, a wireless Wi-Fi speaker, was born from this evolution. Drawing inspiration from an orb and a dot, visual representations of how sound expands, its design stands out as a distinctive presence in any space. Meanwhile, its finely tuned acoustics flood a space with lush, immersive sound, elevating the fundamental value of audio.

Samsung Newsroom spoke with Jongmin Kim of the Product Planning Group, Jongbae Kim of the Sound Lab and Minsun Kang of the Product Design Group — all within the Visual Display (VD) Business Division — to explore how Music Studio redefines the boundaries between sound technology and design.

From Casual Listeners to Immersive Listeners: Tailoring the Listening Experience

The reasons people choose audio devices are more varied than ever, shaped by personal tastes and how they enjoy content. As immersive spatial audio from movies to games becomes a staple beyond just music, more listeners seek products that blend cutting-edge performance with inspired design.

Jongmin Kim explained the thinking behind Music Studio: “We focused on preserving the essence of sound while ensuring the product blends naturally into its surroundings, optimizing the overall user experience.” The decision to introduce two distinct models was based on in-depth consumer analysis. “We identified different needs between ‘casual listeners,’ who enjoy background music in their daily lives and ‘immersive listeners,’ who focus on the finer details of sound and fully engage with content,” Kim added. “Based on this, we differentiated the core value of each model to better serve each listening style.”

▲ Music Studio tailors the listening experience to user preferences, differentiating the core value of each model for optimized everyday use.

Collaboration with global partners was also a key factor in expanding the listening experience. “To deliver meaningful value to users, we worked closely with our partners,” Kim said. “As a result, we were able to introduce Spotify Tap — a Wi-Fi-based feature that allows users to start music with a single button press without using a smartphone — to Music Studio for the first time globally, creating a differentiated user experience unique to Samsung audio products.”

Bringing Live-Like Immersion to Everyday Spaces With Music Studio 7

Creating an immersive audio environment requires highly sophisticated sound engineering. Designed specifically for spatial audio, Music Studio 7 underwent nearly two years of development and validation. At its core is a 3.1.1 Channel system that delivers sound in four directions — front, left, right and upward — along with advanced acoustic technologies that precisely control each channel.

▲ Music Studio 7 uses Waveguide and Pattern Control technologies that precisely control sound directivity, delivering immersive spatial audio reminiscent of a live performance.

Jongbae Kim emphasized, “To create a sense of space from a single device, it is essential to control each channel so that sounds do not blend together. The ‘Waveguide’ and ‘Pattern Control’ technologies applied to Music Studio 7 are core technologies for spatial audio sound.”

The high-frequency range, which has strong directivity, can be easily controlled using the physical structure of the Waveguide. However, the mid-frequency range, which has relatively longer wavelengths, is difficult to narrow down in directivity using only the Waveguide. Pattern Control is a technology that suppresses specific sound areas using phase control signals. By inputting phase control signals based on Left, Right and Top channels into the front channel, it prevents the directivity of each channel from spreading unnecessarily. This enhances channel separation and delivers a more immersive sense of depth and 3D moving effects, even with a single speaker. Kim explained, “With these technologies, we have made it possible to clearly perceive the precise location and movement of sound using just one speaker.”

▲ With precise acoustic engineering that delivers distortion-free sound at both high and low frequencies, Music Studio 7 produces deep, rich, high-quality audio despite its size.

To push performance even further, AI Dynamic Bass Control tackles the low-frequency distortion often found in compact speakers. This technology automatically analyzes and fine-tunes the woofer’s nonlinear movement, delivering deep, powerful bass from a surprisingly small package.

Music Studio 5 Balances Design and Sound Through Refined Aesthetics

Music Studio 5 offers harmonious sound wrapped in sculptural elegance and lifestyle-oriented design. Minsun Kang shared, “One of our biggest challenges was preserving Music Studio’s unique look while making sure it excelled as a speaker.”

A key influence was the collaboration with acclaimed furniture designer Erwan Bouroullec, which helped define Samsung Audio’s design language. Kang noted, “Blending Bouroullec’s artistic vision with Samsung’s practical approach, we crafted a look that feels at home as part of daily life.” Early on, the team experimented with bold forms to spark creativity, but turning these ideas into a high-performing speaker brought unique technical hurdles in arranging components and perfecting the acoustic structure.

▲ Music Studio 5 features a micro-perforated structure that balances object-like design and acoustic performance within an interior-friendly aesthetic.

Kang shared, “To achieve both sculptural refinement and rich sound, we used a micro-perforated design on the front of the product. From afar, it stands out as a striking piece, but up close, its structure reveals the essence of audio.” In recognition of its design brilliance, Music Studio 5 was honored with the Gold Award at the prestigious iF Design Awards 2026. Kang added, “This achievement is the result of close teamwork with Bouroullec and the relentless dedication of our entire design team. We feel a special connection to this product, as it truly captures the meeting point of technology and aesthetics.”

In addition, Samsung’s proprietary Bluetooth audio codec, SSC (Samsung Seamless Codec), ensures stable, high-quality sound even without wires, perfectly uniting sleek design with top-tier performance.

Expanding the Sound Ecosystem With Q-Symphony

Rather than functioning as a standalone device, Music Studio offers an integrated entertainment experience through seamless connectivity and optimized sound synchronization across devices. As a Wi-Fi speaker with fully wireless connections except for power, it offers the flexibility to place it freely throughout the home. Jongmin Kim emphasized, “Regardless of where it is placed, Music Studio delivers sound optimized for the user’s listening environment, whether for music or video content.”

The Q-Symphony feature, which wirelessly connects with Samsung TVs, further enhances this experience. Supporting up to five devices simultaneously — including 2026 Wi-Fi speakers and soundbars — creates a more immersive surround-sound environment without limitations across product types.

Kim explained, “Users can freely configure the system to suit different spaces and use cases — for example, by connecting up to five Music Studio 7 units or pairing a Q-Series Soundbar with four Music Studio speakers. In such a configuration, the system supports up to 19.1.8-channel output, delivering dense, room-filling sound.”

He continued, “Our ultimate goal is to expand connectivity to a wide range of platforms — including partner products, TVs and mobile — so that users can experience optimal sound throughout every moment they engage with content.”

Going beyond the conventional speaker form, Music Studio sets a new standard for both performance and design. Samsung Audio’s innovation continues to enrich everyday spaces with immersive sound and refined aesthetics.
