<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-cooling-in-southeast-asia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fastest-growing use of energy in buildings</a> — and as electricity prices climb, these ageing properties grow more expensive to run every year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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 materialises 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?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s <strong>DVM S2, Samsung’s Variable Refrigerant Flow system </strong>connects a single outdoor unit to as many as 64 indoor units, reducing the new piping and structural work a retrofit demands, while <strong>SmartThings Pro’s</strong> 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>AI-enabled HVAC management: the fastest route to energy savings</strong></h2>
<p>Because cooling often carries the heaviest energy load in commercial buildings, it is where a retrofit pays back fastest.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>

<p><em>Preserving heritage, upgrading comfort: how the Bali Beach Hotel Sanur retrofitted Samsung’s DVM solution across lobbies, spa rooms and fitness centers</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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 centres — paired with energy-saving technology and integrated B2B controls. With customisable systems and end-to-end support from consultation through to maintenance, the hotel was modernised without the upheaval a full mechanical overhaul would have forced on a heritage structure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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%<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>. Beyond hotels, a Bangkok office tower or a Sydney shopping centre can also enjoy efficiency gains from the moment the system is calibrated to how the building operates.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The rise of buildings that learn to optimise themselves</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>How connected ecosystems reduce operating and maintenance costs</strong></h2>
<p>The most significant long-term savings are often found not in kilowatt-hours, but in the service calls that never become necessary.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This connected ecosystem approach is being incorporated into new developments like Grantz Forest Park, a mixed-use project led by Samsung&#8217;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 &#8216;b.IoT&#8217; will enable control and management of HVAC, lighting, and power facilities to enhance building energy efficiency.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The path forward runs through buildings we already have</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For building owners across Southeast Asia and Oceania, the question shifts from whether to modernise, 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.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In regions like Southeast Asia which has a growing industrial sector that increasingly requires B2B laundry solutions, washing and drying machines that can handle large volumes quickly and reliably, while efficiently using every square meter of floor space matter the most. Business owners are on the lookout for efficient appliances and systems to manage operations, and seek solutions with capabilities that can deliver the reliability and performance they expect.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Optimising resource use and providing seamless and convenient maintenance support, Samsung’s new 30-inch washer and dryer are designed to meet diverse requirements across a range of business environments, including:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Laundromats and self-service operators:</strong> Rising incomes, urbanisation and more one-person and two-income households are driving demand for time-saving laundry services like laundromats.</li>
<li><strong>Hospitality and Medical Institutions: </strong>Large capacity machines can support hotels, resorts, hospitals and their laundry partners to process large volumes of sheets, towels and linens quickly, handling heavy daily demand in fewer cycles.</li>
<li><strong>Other businesses with laundry requirements:</strong> Other operators such as beauty salons and spas benefit too, enjoying fast, reliable turnaround on linens and towels throughout the day without the need to engage outsource laundry services.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s B2B Laundry solutions will be available across Southeast Asia and Oceania, starting in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, bringing Samsung’s expertise to laundry operators and other businesses in the region looking to upgrade their equipment and improve revenue models.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Powerful and fast performance </strong></h2>
<p>Built for businesses that handle large volumes of laundry every day, Samsung’s washer and dryer combine big capacity with shorter cycle times, so more laundry can be processed in fewer loads.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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. Besides our 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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, our everyday lives can be made easier.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Creating a More Comfortable Environment For Rest Through Intelligent Cooling</strong></h2>
<p>A good night’s sleep hinges on comfort to help us fall asleep and more importantly, stay asleep. Samsung’s <a href="https://www.samsung.com/sg/system-air-conditioners/free-joint-multi/windfree-single-split-system-1-air-conditioner-f-ar70f24d1jw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bespoke AI WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Air Conditioner</a> is designed to make cooling feel gentler. With WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Cooling, air is dispersed through 23,000 micro air holes<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor environment without unpleasant cold drafts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Getting quality rest is an important priority in the region, with 66% of respondents in a Samsung Health App survey<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> indicating that they are actively working on improving their sleep. During warm and humid nights common in Singapore, 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<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Air Conditioner, the cooling experience can be personalised when the air conditioner is connected to a compatible Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring through SmartThings<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When a connected wearable detects that the user has fallen asleep, <a href="https://news.samsung.com/sg/2026-windfree-intelligent-cooling">WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Wearable Good Sleep mode can automatically activate WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> cooling</a> and adapt to body signals to make temperature adjustments.  This can help to reduce nighttime awakenings, enabling users to wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Supporting Healthier Eating Habits Through Smarter Food Management</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With SmartThings Food, you can easily check a food list<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> to see if you have what you need via the SmartThings app<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> – 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_9494" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-9494 size-medium" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Healthier-Living-3-1000x563.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Healthier-Living-3-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Healthier-Living-3-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Healthier-Living-3-768x433.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Healthier-Living-3-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Healthier-Living-3.jpg 1444w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">SmartThings makes it easier for you to plan your meals, track expiration dates, and discover new recipes based on your dietary preferences and existing ingredients.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> Supported by Bixby, verbal cues provide an additional hands-free way to interact with the refrigerator while cooking or preparing meals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Simplifying Laundry Routines for Greater Wellbeing</strong></h2>
<p>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. Minimising 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a>, automatically 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 efficient<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span><sup>[9]</sup></span></a> and thorough cleaning performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, these features can help reduce the manual steps and lighten the mental load of managing your laundry.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For years, the conversation about smart appliances centred on the home. That intelligence, connectivity and reliability is now expected across the built environment. Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, it&#8217;s moving into residential developments, hotels, offices and retail spaces.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With our broad portfolio of integrated B2B solutions, Samsung is supporting the growth of businesses and building owners in the region by addressing their evolving operational needs across heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), home appliances, as well as smart management technologies. Equipped with a deep understanding of what our enterprise partners need and prioritise, we strive to deliver innovative technologies that can help reduce energy consumption and manage operating costs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The expansion of our enterprise sales for instance, already reflects the trust that we have earned from our customers – B2B sales in the region have increased by more than 20% year-on-year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Why HVAC Has Become a Growth Engine</strong></h2>
<p>Southeast Asia and Oceania’s building and construction sector is growing at a steady pace, whether it is building new smart cities and towns or rejuvenating old ones. Southeast Asia and Australia’s construction industry is forecasted to grow more than 5x faster<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> than the global rate in 2026.What’s particularly exciting is the region’s appetite for what’s next, from high-tech manufacturing plants to AI data centres that will define future economies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Every one of them needs cooling that is smarter, more efficient and more reliable than what came before. That’s why HVAC has become a key growth driver of our business &#8211; the B2B segment now makes up more than half of total HVAC sales, with the proportion almost doubling from five years ago &#8211; and we believe it’s only getting started.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-electronics-acquires-leading-global-hvac-solutions-provider-flaktgroup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acquisition of FläktGroup</a> brings us closer to that future by deepening our expertise in HVAC systems and enabling us to serve the most demanding environments, such as AI data centres where cooling and ventilation are critical to keep crucial systems and operations going.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here in this region, demand is rising across a diverse range of building types. In Vietnam, we’re supplying around 3,000 WindFree air-conditioning units to high-rise apartments as part of CapitaLand’s Sycamore development in Ho Chi Minh City, while more than 3,000 air-conditioning units will be installed in Starlake, a mixed-use complex in Hanoi.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Thailand, we have rolled out HVAC systems across Thaiwatsadu’s retail stores which are also supported by SmartThings Pro to manage energy efficiency and simplify operational management. Additionally, 600 rooms in the 29 buildings of Sheraton Naiharn Hotel &amp; Resort in Phuket will be outfitted with WindFree air-conditioning units. In Sydney, Australia, our cooling systems have been incorporated in residential projects such as Arncliffe Central and AURA by Aqualand.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether it’s a beach resort, or a cutting-edge data centre, our comprehensive portfolio means that there are always suitable cooling solutions for diverse needs.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Extending the Opportunity Beyond Cooling</strong></h2>
<p>HVAC is not the only category that businesses are paying attention to. Urbanisation, changing lifestyles and growing demand for convenience are also driving adoption of suitable laundry solutions in B2B business sectors.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/vn/samsung-dong-hanh-cung-doi-tac-phat-trien-mo-hinh-cua-hang-giat-say-tu-dong-khai-truong-cua-hang-dau-tien-titi-laundry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TiTi Laundry in Ho Chi Minh City</a></span> is one recent example. As one of the first partners that we collaborated with to expand the B2B laundry model in Vietnam, it is open around the clock, with machines that can be monitored and managed remotely. This business model allows connected appliances, such as Samsung’s B2B Laundry solutions, to create new business opportunities for operators, while making everyday life a little easier for the people they serve.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Building Smarter Business Environments </strong></h2>
<p>Together, these developments point to a broader change in how businesses are thinking about their physical spaces. Beyond standalone products, our customers increasingly want connected solutions that simplify management across an entire property, instead of having to look after individual systems.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is taking shape at <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/ph/samsung-electronics-powers-ai-connected-living-in-cebu-through-new-mixed-use-development" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Granz Forest Park in Cebu, the Philippines</a></span>, where we have partnered with real estate developer, DH Plus, to provide integrated operational solutions that combine AI-powered appliances, SmartThings Pro, and connected technologies within a single ecosystem, spanning residences, hotel and commercial facilities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By offering technological expertise, an extensive suite of AI-powered appliances, and smart management platforms, Samsung is enabling businesses and building owners to construct and maintain spaces that are tailored to what users need, and opens new ways to optimise and expand their operations. Through integrated solutions that empower enterprises to optimise operations, reduce costs, and confidently scale up, we are shaping the future of buildings and properties in Southeast Asia and Oceania, supporting the region’s further growth and development.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics held the 2026 edition of The Brief event in Hanoi, Vietnam on 14 October, showcasing its extensive digital appliance portfolio of business solutions and home appliances.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung’s ambition has always been to deliver new innovations and we have demonstrated how technology can truly add value through our broad range of AI-enabled products and solutions for consumers and businesses,” said <strong>Bernard Ang, Regional Head of Home Appliances, Vice President</strong>, <strong>Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania</strong>. “Our line-ups are designed to meet real-user needs and as we continue to introduce new innovations, we will focus on expanding the reach of products to benefit more customers, enhance AI experiences for further convenience and personalisation, and strengthen the reliability and durability of appliances for both homes and enterprises.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Brief Hanoi was attended by more than 50 journalists and influencers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, who gathered for an in-depth look at Samsung’s latest appliances from different product categories including laundry, refrigerators, and air conditioners.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The event was held at the newly opened Samsung Business Experience Studio (BES) in Hanoi, a space designed to simulate real-world scenarios across various industries, offering customers and visitors the opportunity to experience how Samsung’s wide range of products can be deployed in fields like education, hospitality, and other commercial environments.</p>

<h2>Advancing the Future of Smart Cooling Solutions</h2>
<div id="attachment_9469" style="width: 858px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9469" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-2-848x563.jpg" alt="" width="848" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-2-848x563.jpg 848w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-2-768x510.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-2-1024x680.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Samsung showcases its latest HVAC solutions and technologies designed to support smarter, more efficient and reliable experiences in various environments.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has expanded its HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) portfolio across residential and commercial environments — enabling users to leverage AI-driven features and SmartThings connectivity. With the acquisition of European HVAC specialist FläktGroup – which has over a century of accumulated technological expertise and design capabilities – Samsung is also further expanding into industrial applications like data centres, broadening its line-up of diverse HVAC solutions for more customers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Central to the line-up is WindFree<sup>TM</sup> technology, which has been refined over the past decade and now anchors the latest <strong>Bespoke AI WindFree Pro Air Conditioner<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></strong>. This model features a streamlined form that allows the air conditioner to fit naturally into the surrounding space and comes equipped with AI-powered technologies for personalised comfort. AI Motion Wind adapts airflow based on user preferences and movements while WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Wearable Good Sleep can connect to a compatible wearable device<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> and utilise body signals to automatically adjust the cooling performance based on the user’s sleep state.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Attendees at the event were also given a first look of the 2027 new room air conditioner. The upcoming model comes with a new design featuring a rounded shape and split design on the lower blade, with a fabric-like texture. In addition to its new visual appearance, this model also expands access to AI and smart features such as AI Energy Mode<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Laundry Solutions for Evolving Business Needs</h2>
<div id="attachment_9468" style="width: 847px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9468" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-3-837x563.jpg" alt="" width="837" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-3-837x563.jpg 837w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-3-768x517.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-3-1024x689.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Samsung’s new laundry solutions are designed to support specific B2B needs with large capacities, durability and flexible installation.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Samsung expands its presence in B2B business, the company broadens its product portfolio to meet diverse B2B needs, including laundry solutions, built for best-in-class performance, reliability and ease of operations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 18kg washer offers powerful and fast performance even for large loads and items such as king-sized bedding. Washing cycles are efficient, with a normal cycle taking 36 minutes to complete<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a>, while Bubble Wash technology ensures effective removal of stains or detergent on clothes. Meanwhile, equipped with a vent system, the 14kg dryer supports speed drying – with heavy duty loads being completed within 45 minutes<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With durability a top priority for laundry equipment, the washer is fitted with Vibration Reduction Technology Plus (VRT+<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />) to reduce vibrations<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> which can accelerate wear and tear of internal parts. Both appliances are also easy to operate and maintain. The Manager Mode on the washer enables convenient adjustment of settings such as rinse and water levels, and with Wi-fi connectivity, operators can also remotely monitor the status and performance of the machine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s approach for the B2B sector is not limited to supporting partners with our expanding product line-ups. As modern building management shifts toward greater efficiency and optimised operations across entire sites — Samsung solutions are designed to work as one. SmartThings Pro, Samsung’s integrated B2B IoT platform, connects HVAC and other devices across residential, retail, hospitality and corporate environments, enabling businesses to manage multiple sites, automate operations and monitor energy use through customised dashboards, and enterprise API integrations.</p>
<h2><strong><u><br />
</u></strong>Reimagining the Connected Home Through AI-Powered Experiences</h2>
<div id="attachment_9467" style="width: 854px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9467" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-4-844x563.jpg" alt="" width="844" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-4-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-4-768x513.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/The-Brief-Event-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Inside Samsung&#8217;s vision for a more intelligent kitchen, where AI Vision work to support everyday decision-making.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the seminar, Samsung highlighted its commitment to making home living smarter and more seamless, demonstrating how its AI-powered appliance ecosystem comes together to support consumers by adding convenience to everyday life. Intelligent features in Samsung refrigerators for example, can help users manage their food inventory, offer personalised recommendations, and simplify everyday decision-making with AI-powered experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the recent update, refrigerators like the <strong>Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub</strong> can make planning and preparation of meals much easier. Combining with cloud intelligence, enhanced AI Vision can now recognise more food items than before with greater accuracy<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a>, while the SmartThings Food can recommend recipes based on the ingredients a user currently has. Additionally, the new FoodNote widget introduced this year offers tailored suggestions for a shopping list, by analysing consumption patterns to identify frequently consumed items.</p>
<p><strong><u> </u></strong></p>
<h2>Beyond the Purchase: Appliances That Evolve with Users</h2>
<p>Samsung’s connected home is a unified and personal experience across home appliances and services — one designed to keep improving long after purchase.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To ensure users can continue to enjoy enhanced experiences over time, eligible appliances come with up to seven years of software updates<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a>. The latest update in September included upgrades to AI Vision and Now Brief for select refrigerator models globally, with the new capabilities showcased during The Brief Hanoi. Additionally, enhanced Bixby<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span><strong><sup>[9]</sup></strong></span></a> experiences for natural voice interactions now also provide users with more intuitive controls for their appliances.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Samsung’s <strong>Home Appliances Remote Management (HRM)</strong> service<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span><sup>[10]</sup></span></a>, users can provide consent to access real-time remote solutions for product issues. When problems are detected, users can be guided to identify and diagnose the cause, and are provided with step-by-step instructions on how to proceed. If an on-site visit is necessary, HRM can also allow technicians to review diagnostic data in advance, supporting a more efficient experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s expanding portfolio of intelligent appliances, AI-powered experiences and connected services are evolving alongside the needs of consumers and businesses across Southeast Asia and Oceania. By seamlessly integrating these elements, Samsung continues to deliver more meaningful, everyday AI experiences for all.</p>

<p>Between managing energy bills, keeping the fridge stocked, and staying on top of household chores, running a home can sometimes feel like a full-time job. But what if your home could help manage those tasks for you?</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve all been there – finding ingredients in the fridge that are no longer fresh when you finally need them. With the<strong> Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub </strong>and SmartThings, homeowners gain greater visibility and control over one of the major appliances in their home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>Do the Smart Thing with SmartThings: </strong>Enable SmartThings notifications such as Door Open Notification<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><strong><sup>[8]</sup></strong></a> to receive alerts whenever the refrigerator door is accidentally left ajar, helping prevent cold-air from escaping unnecessarily and affecting freshness of any food inside.</em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you think about smart homes, you might imagine additional hubs, sensors and expensive setups. In fact, your smart home journey can begin with a device you already have at home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Other than the SmartThings app on your mobile phone, many Samsung TVs enable users to control and optimise compatible Samsung devices for a more tailored and smarter lifestyle<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span><strong><sup>[14]</sup></strong></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>Do the Smart Thing with SmartThings:</em></strong><em> Open the SmartThings app on your Samsung TV to expand your TV’s role in managing connected Samsung devices throughout your home, directly from the dashboard.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The true value of a smart home is not simply having more smart devices. It is having devices that work together seamlessly. With SmartThings at the center of the experience, your Samsung TV and Bespoke AI appliances become part of a connected ecosystem that helps automate everyday chores and simplify household management.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether you’re looking to elevate life at home, or find smarter ways to manage everyday routines, Samsung’s connected devices and appliances work seamlessly behind the scenes to simplify household management, so you can spend less time working on tasks and more time enjoying life at home.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Samsung Electronics Singapore today announced that it has entered a collaboration with Fraser Residence River Promenade in Singapore to pilot AI-enabled hospitality experiences. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Guests can experience Samsung-powered smart rooms – from room and lighting settings to supporting everyday chores – thanks to the latest Samsung devices powered by SmartThings. These rooms will be available for booking from 1 October 2026 via <a href="https://www.frasershospitality.com/en/singapore/fraser-residence-river-promenade-singapore/samsung-smart-rooms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frasers Residence River Promenade</a> website.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><span>From smart homes to smart, intuitive hospitality experiences </span></strong></h2>
<p><span>As technology becomes increasingly integrated into everyday routines, consumers are moving beyond standalone smart devices towards connected experiences where products work seamlessly together. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing">Such experiences are also what draws travelers into making a booking with a property. In a recent study by <a id="OWAfaf52457-9e57-821d-0e79-8dd771e1931c" class="OWAAutoLink" title="https://us-east-2.protection.sophos.com/?d=checkpoint.com&amp;u=aHR0cHM6Ly9wcm90ZWN0LmNoZWNrcG9pbnQuY29tL3YyL3IwOC9fX19odHRwczovYW1hZGV1cy5jb20vanNkZ3F0bGRmd3luaHFqeGRtdHh1bnlmcW55RC15amhtc3RxdGxELWh3amZ5bnNsLXl3ZkFqcS1pd2pmcnhfX18uYlhRdGNISnZaQzFqY0MxaGNITmxNUzB4T21aeVlYTmxjbk53Y205d1pYSjBlVEU2WXpwdlptWnBZMlV6TmpWZlpXMWhhV3h6WDJGMGRHRmphRzFsYm5RNlptWmtZVEUzWVdNNFlXWmhPVEU1TUROa056a3dabU0yWWpZMVl6RmhaR1E2TnpwbE9UUTVPbVF5TW1VeFpUVmhNV1kyTm1RM1lXTmxObVl4TlRVd01tWmlaamcwWm1GaFpHWmlOR0V3TWpVMFl6QmxNemxpT1RoaE5HWXhOR0ZsT0RSaU1UTmlPREE2Y0RwVU9sUQ==&amp;i=NjdiODIzMTE4N2UxZTY2OTk4NzNmZDUz&amp;t=Tm5zVVpxbXBFMnk3SzA3U3N5SHo2eEhNM2Z0OCtNdUY2dzNhcmdQWU52ND0=&amp;h=6148f11234294852a4222b1c88ce89f3&amp;s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVYu9fhpcQnub76jPRsomyomHLnH6yIda61bxy27Tt7nVw" contenteditable="false" href="https://amadeus.com/en/blog/articles/hospitality-technology-creating-travel-dreams" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-outlook-id="946b2523-a56f-4d14-8335-99748d0eb77a"><u>Amadeus</u></a>, 74% polled were said to be keen to have their trips personalised. They are also more willing to spend on room elements or add-on services that appeal to their travel needs. Through this pilot, Samsung aims to showcase a connected living adapted for hospitality environments.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>In addition, </span>Singapore’s strong digital connectivity and consumers’ readiness to embrace new technologies offers an opportunity to pilot connected hospitality experiences and explore how these innovations can enhance everyday guest stays</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>“At Samsung, our vision is to bring AI to all, where our technology and solutions work seamlessly together to help simplify everyday experiences. Through this pilot with Frasers Hospitality, we want to be able to showcase our vision of AI Living in a thoughtful and meaningful way, where guests can experience how connected experiences powered by SmartThings can transform their stays,” </span>said <strong>Jeffrey Hahn, President, Samsung Electronics Singapore</strong>.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Samsung smart rooms deliver smart, personalised experiences</strong></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-9350 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Frasers-1-1024x286.png" alt="" width="1024" height="286" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Frasers-1-1024x286.png 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Frasers-1-1000x280.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Frasers-1-768x215.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong>The pilot comprises three smart rooms across One-Bedroom Deluxe and Studio Deluxe units. Designed around Samsung&#8217;s connected ecosystem, the rooms bring together Samsung TV and audio products, home appliances and Galaxy devices through SmartThings, alongside compatible connected technologies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Guests will experience a range of Samsung products, including The Frame Pro and Mini LED TVs, Galaxy Tab S11, Music Studio 5 speakers and Bespoke AI laundry appliances. Together, these products and connected devices are designed to work as one ecosystem, supporting different moments throughout a guest’s stay.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-9349" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Frasers-2-1024x286.png" alt="" width="1024" height="286" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Frasers-2-1024x286.png 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Frasers-2-1000x279.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Frasers-2-768x214.png 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Frasers-2.png 1393w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the heart of the experience is a series of connected routines designed around key guest moments. From welcoming guests upon arrival and helping them ease into the day, to creating the right ambience for entertainment or winding down at night, SmartThings enables connected devices across the room to work together seamlessly in the background.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rather than functioning as standalone products, the smart ecosystem responds to different guest needs throughout their stay, demonstrating how connected living can potentially enhance convenience and comfort in a hospitality setting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>For consumers interested in experiencing the pilot smart rooms at Fraser Residence River Promenade, they can book their stays via <span><a href="https://www.frasershospitality.com/en/singapore/fraser-residence-river-promenade-singapore/samsung-smart-rooms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.frasershospitality.com/en/singapore/fraser-residence-river-promenade-singapore/samsung-smart-rooms</a></span> from 1 October 2026.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hot and humid nights can make it difficult to fall asleep, and even harder to stay comfortable through the night. Understandably, disrupted sleep caused by heat and humidity is one of the biggest reasons people invest in or upgrade their air conditioners. In a recent Samsung survey<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, 80% of respondents cite heat- or humidity-disrupted sleep as a key driver behind their purchasing of cooling solutions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung&#8217;s answer is the <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/interview-a-decade-of-windfree-innovation-taking-another-step-forward-through-design-integrated-into-living-spaces" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bespoke AI WindFree</strong><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><strong> air conditioner</strong>,</a></span> which provide<strong> WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> cooling</strong> – a comfortable, draft-free cooling, without any uncomfortable blasts of cold air.

<p>Fall asleep, and your Samsung air conditioner already knows.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: center;"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PC1hSwhn91E" width="315" height="560" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><br />
</iframe></div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>When your connected Galaxy wearables detect you are asleep, the ‘WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Wearable Good Sleep’ mode turns on WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> cooling and adjusts the cooling performance to suit your sleep patterns for an ideal sleeping environment.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>Designed to support a more comfortable night’s sleep, the air conditioner automatically adjusts the room temperature in response to different stages of the sleep cycle. This is because the most comfortable temperature may vary throughout the night.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Throughout the night, the air conditioner makes approximately three temperature adjustments:</strong> cooling quickly as you fall asleep, maintaining a comfortable environment during deeper sleep, and gradually increasing the temperature as you wake. This helps create a more comfortable sleep environment, particularly during warm nights where maintaining the right temperature all night can be challenging.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics announced the launch of its new Bespoke AI Laundry Combo units<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, designed to meet growing consumer demand for appliances that can reduce everyday effort, help manage energy consumption and integrate seamlessly into connected homes.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> Combining enhanced AI features, an intuitive Smart Screen experience and SmartThings-enabled<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> energy management, the lineup helps users manage laundry more conveniently and efficiently.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Bespoke AI Laundry Combo will be available in two models: the WD90F21BCSSP 21kg +11kg washer dryer, and the WD90H11C4WSP 11kg +7kg version. It is also the first white Bespoke AI Laundry Combo unit that is equipped with AI Home.</p>
<p>“Singaporeans lead very busy lives, and we want to help homeowners ease their burden of chores with AI. This is why we continue to expand the role of AI across our range of products,” said <strong>Gavin Yeong, Head of Digital Appliances (DA), Samsung Electronics Singapore. “</strong>The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo is designed to help take the guesswork out of laundry. With AI Wash+ and SmartThings, homeowners can truly experience how AI can help make daily chores efficient, but also better manage energy usage.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Enhanced AI Features Deliver Intelligent Fabric Care</strong></h2>
<p>The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo units are equipped with Samsung’s latest AI-enhanced laundry cycles, designed to optimise performance across a wider range of fabric types, smaller loads, and laundry conditions.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>AI Wash+</strong> features enhanced fabric recognition capabilities to include Outdoor and Denim fabrics, in addition to the previously supported fabric types.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> Using multiple sensors, the system detects the weight and five different fabric types, automatically dispenses an appropriate amount of water and detergent, then continuously monitors soil levels during the wash cycle. If needed, it can adjust detergent usage and washing time to help deliver thorough yet efficient cleaning performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition, the <strong>Flex Auto Dispense</strong> gives users greater flexibility by supporting two detergents or increased detergent capacity. It can hold up enough detergent and fabric softener for up to 12 loads, or up to 30 loads for only detergent.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Smart Screen and Voice Control Simplify Everyday Laundry</h2>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Bespoke AI Washer Dryer enhances everyday convenience with <strong>AI Home Smart Screen</strong>,<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> a 7-inch LCD that serves as an intuitive control centre for laundry. The display provides easy access to functions and settings through touchscreen controls, while also personalising the user experience by remembering usage habits, suggesting cycles<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> and delivering timely information. After each cycle, users can access laundry reports through the <strong>SmartThings</strong> app,<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> including insights into energy and water consumption.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The lineup also features Samsung’s upgraded <strong>Bixby</strong><a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a> voice assistant, which enables users to manage laundry more easily through natural voice interactions. For example, users can ask Bixby to start a preferred cycle, add extra rinsing, check remaining wash time or explain information shown on the screen without touching the controls. Bixby can also provide spoken feedback on information displayed on the screen, making laundry management more accessible and intuitive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Connected Experiences Support Smarter Energy Management</strong></h2>
<p>Through SmartThings, which is accessible via AI Home, or on selected smartphones or tablets, users can access a range of connected features designed to enhance convenience and support more efficient energy management.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As household energy costs remain a key concern for consumers, the new Bespoke AI Laundry supports <strong>AI Energy Mode</strong><a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span><sup>[9]</sup></span></a> in SmartThings Energy, which helps users monitor daily, weekly and monthly energy consumption while also providing estimated electricity costs. When compatible cycles are selected,<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span><sup>[10]</sup></span></a> AI Energy Mode can reduce energy use by up to 60% by applying <strong>AI Ecobubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong> technology<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span><sup>[11]</sup></span></a> to wash at lower temperatures and extending cycle time as needed.<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span><sup>[12]</sup></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Availability</strong></h2>
<p>The new Bespoke AI Launch Combo will be available in two models:</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong>“What should I look for when buying a home appliance?” This is the first question many people ask when they need to purchase a new washer, dryer, or refrigerator — and price is often the first thing to grab their attention.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But what keeps consumers satisfied years after a purchase is something else: confidence that the appliance will continue to perform day after day, year after year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics’ recent global consumer survey suggests exactly that. When asked to rank the factors they consider most important when purchasing home appliances, respondents placed durability second only to product price. Nearly half (48%) identified long-term durability as a top consideration, and 36% said its importance has increased compared with three years ago.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-9108" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DA-Feature-Story-1024x579.png" alt="" width="1024" height="579" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DA-Feature-Story-1024x579.png 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DA-Feature-Story-995x563.png 995w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DA-Feature-Story-768x434.png 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DA-Feature-Story.png 1430w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The message is clear: consumers are thinking far beyond the moment of purchase. They are looking for products they can rely on over the long run.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That is why Samsung appliances are designed to perform in harmony, not perform in isolation. Reliability depends not only on durable hardware, but also on the support that helps each appliance perform at its best over time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Like a well-rehearsed choir, key elements work together behind the scenes to help Samsung appliances stay dependable throughout their lifespan. These include long-term software support, proactive care, and durable core components.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Keep Performance in Tune: Up to Seven Years of Software Updates</strong></h2>
<p>Even the best hardware can benefit from staying up to date.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung provides up to <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-expands-one-ui-to-home-appliances-bringing-unified-software-experience-across-devices">seven years of software updates</a></span><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> for supported home appliances through over-the-network (OTN) updates. These updates help keep appliances current with the latest software improvements or bug fixes after they have been installed in the home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The result is an experience that continues to improve over time. Appliances can gain new features and services upon availability without requiring users to replace the product itself.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just as a familiar song can sound fresh with a new arrangement, Samsung appliances can continue delivering new experiences throughout their lifecycle.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Listen Before Problems Become Louder: Remote Management Through SmartThings</strong></h2>
<p>Every great performance need someone paying attention behind the curtain.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung&#8217;s <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-expands-home-appliance-remote-management-hrm-service-globally-to-enhance-customer-experience">Home Appliance Remote Management</a></span> (HRM)<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> service helps provide proactive care by monitoring SmartThings-connected appliance status with customer consent.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a>  When activated, appliances can send diagnostic information that helps identify potential issues before they become larger concerns.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When service is needed, the same data is used to offer fast and efficient assistance, helping users get back to their daily routines sooner.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>SmartThings also help homeowners easily monitor and control appliances, create personalised routines and better manage energy consumption over time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rather than waiting for something to go wrong, Samsung appliances with SmartThings work quietly in the background to help keep everything running smoothly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Never Miss a Beat: Durable Components</strong></h2>
<p>Of course, reliability starts with the parts that do the heavy lifting every day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Key Samsung appliances, including refrigerators and washing machines, feature AI Inverter technology in critical components such as compressors and motors. Drawing on Samsung’s <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/interview-why-samsung-%E2%91%A2-bringing-together-hw-sw-and-ai-to-advance-reliability-in-ai-home-appliances-evp-miyoung-yoo-on-samsungs-approach-to-reliability">five decades of engineering expertise</a></span>, these components intelligently adjust their operation according to usage conditions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By continuously adapting to real-world usage, these components help improve efficiency, reduce wear and support long-lasting performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a bit like a skilled choir knowing exactly when to raise or lower its voice – delivering the right performance at the right moment, without missing a beat.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Achieve Home Appliance Harmony: Reliability That Lasts</strong></h2>
<p>People may not see software updates working in the background. They may not notice diagnostic data that informs a service visit. And few will ever watch an inverter motor adjusting itself in real time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But what they do appreciate is when the appliances they depend on simply keep doing their job.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Reliability may not be the loudest feature to shout about. But it is often the one people remember the longest and appreciate the most.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And that’s another reason why Samsung appliances continue to earn and maintain trust in homes around the world.</p>

<hr />
<p><sub><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> Based on Samsung’s DA Global Usage &amp; Attitude survey conducted in July 2025 across seven countries (USA, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy, India, Thailand)</sub></p>
<p><sub><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> Wi-Fi-enabled Samsung home appliances will be eligible for software updates for up to seven years after launching, starting from models launched in 2024.
