Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it will unveil its latest kitchen appliances line-up ^[1]at CES 2026, including the latest iterations of its Bespoke AI refrigerator, over-the-range (OTR) microwave, and slide-in range^[2] at CES 2026. Alongside refreshed designs across the line-up, the company will highlight meaningful improvements to vision-based AI functionality enhanced with Google Gemini and Google Cloud, showing how these innovations simplify everyday tasks and elevate the overall kitchen experience.

“In pioneering the application of vision-based AI technology, Samsung has led innovation in the kitchen appliance market,” said Jeong Seung Moon, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D Team for Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will reach a new level of innovation through this collaboration with Google Cloud and will utilise these ongoing initiatives to continue to deliver better consumer experiences in the upcoming year.”

Introducing Samsung’s Latest AI Vision–Equipped Refrigerator

At CES, Samsung will present a new Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub^[3]. Following the refrigerator’s introduction to certain markets globally, the feature’s key upgrade is its functions built with Google Gemini, which marks the first time that it is being integrated into a refrigerator.

Previously, it could recognise up to 37 types of fresh food and 50 types of pre-registered processed food on-device.^[4] The latest version ready to be unveiled at CES is built to unlock its existing limitations to recognise more food items, offering a comprehensive and flexible experience.

It is planned to even recognise processed foods without separate registration, automatically registering their names to increase convenience. Additionally, Samsung aims to make it detect user-labelled items, foods stored in personal containers can be added to the food list.

With ingredients being identified more accurately, managing the food list becomes clearer and easier than before, broadening people’s food-related experiences. At CES, Samsung plans to showcase the enhanced capabilities and new use cases of AI Vision, demonstrating the future of a truly personalised AI kitchen.

Enhanced Wine Management with the New Samsung Bespoke AI Wine Cellar

Samsung will exhibit the new Bespoke AI Wine Cellar^[3] and introduce this to certain markets globally. It is designed to incorporate an AI Vision built with Google Gemini similar to that of the Bespoke AI Refrigerator^[5].

When users store or remove wine bottles from the wine cellar, a camera positioned at the top of the unit will recognise the labels and tracks bottles, updating the SmartThings AI Wine Manager^[6] accordingly. The system will also be able to distinguish the specific shelf and compartment where each bottle is placed, allowing users to easily check locations without searching manually. Through the AI Wine Manager, users will be able to look up wine information more conveniently and receive suggestions on pairings based on the type of wine in their inventory, making wine curation more intuitive and personalised.

Unified Kitchen Aesthetic with an Upgraded Stainless Look

Samsung is also introducing a line-up of French Door refrigerators, slide-in ranges and new OTR microwave models, offering consumers an updated aesthetic and a cohesive stainless-look option for creating a unified kitchen design.

The new Bespoke AI 3-Door French Door refrigerator^[3] features a zero-clearance fit, which can be installed with side gaps of approximately 4mm^[7]. Additionally, its door depth has been reduced by 50mm compared to the conventional 3-Door model^[8], enabling full access to drawers and food items with the doors wide open^[9]. The AutoView — a transparent door — allows users to easily check items stored in the fridge.

The upgraded slide-in range features a completely refreshed design with a stainless-look finish across the control panel, knobs and door. It adopts a new bar handle style, along with a Precision Knob that provides enhanced safety.

Samsung will unveil two different types of OTR microwaves^[3]: the Air-Fry OTR and the DualVent OTR. The most significant change comes from the revised hood structure of the DualVent model. Typically, the depth of a cooktop on the range extends farther than that of an OTR, making it difficult for the hood to capture smoke from the front burners. Samsung’s new dual vent system addresses this by adding a front ventilation wing in addition to the bottom ventilation, significantly improving the capture rate compared to the previous model.

Visitors at Samsung’s booth at CES 2026 will be the first to see these new innovations. Learn more about Samsung’s CES activities here.

One year ago, at our first Galaxy AI Forum, we shared more on our cutting-edge vision for the future of mobile AI, grounded in bringing meaningful advancements to users through technology. Today, new data in partnership with Symmetry Research reveals growing AI usage amongst consumers, highlighting an increasing reliance on mobile AI and shifting attitudes toward multimodal, proactive, and personalised AI features^[1].

Nearly half of those surveyed (47 percent) now rely heavily on AI daily, saying their everyday routines would be disrupted without capabilities like AI-powered search, personalised notifications, and voice assistance. And 45 percent use voice commands as often as they type to get things done.

At the centre of our innovation is a desire to bring consumers seamless and secure mobile AI experiences that align with their needs. That’s why Samsung Galaxy is committed to expanding Galaxy AI to 400 million devices by the end of this year — democratising the power and possibilities of mobile AI to even more users.

Learn more about how Samsung and its industry partners envision the future of mobile AI here.

^{[1] Samsung-commissioned research firm Symmetry (Smoothmedia Consulting Limited) identified key motivators and barriers surrounding mobile AI usage among consumers across 10 individual markets: Brazil, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and United States of America.}

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. revealed the full specifications of the Galaxy S25 Edge, a category-defining slim smartphone joining the Galaxy S Series. Crafted with style and strength in mind, the Galaxy S25 Edge strikes a new balance of premium, pro-level performance in a resilient titanium body only 5.8mm thick. Designed for trendsetters who seek the unconventional, the Galaxy S25 Edge delivers on the Galaxy S Series legacy, integrating an iconic Galaxy AI-enabled camera and unleashing a new realm of creativity and craftsmanship in an effortlessly portable device.

“The Galaxy S25 Edge redefines what a premium smartphone can be—merging cutting-edge engineering, pro-grade camera technology, and intelligent mobile AI into an ultra-slim design,” said Ronnie Ng, Head of Mobile eXperience, Samsung Electronics Singapore. “It challenges expectations of performance and durability in a thin form factor, and marks a bold step forward in smartphone innovation. We believe the Galaxy S25 Edge will not only meet the evolving demands of our users but also reshape how consumers perceive premium.”

Exceptionally Sleek and Strong Design

With a thin 5.8mm chassis, Galaxy S25 Edge is a remarkable feat of engineering that reimagines nearly every element of smartphone design for an even more compact and convenient experience. Its refined frame bridges form and function at just 163 grams, taking slim smartphones to the next level while staying true to the Galaxy S Series’ unified design.

Alongside its streamlined silhouette comes exceptional resilience. The optimally curved edges and sturdy titanium frame offer enduring protection for everyday use. The latest Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, a new glass ceramic offering that delivers engineered toughness, is used for the front display to yield both vibrancy and strength on the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Dynamic Creativity with a Pocketable 200MP Camera

The slim and light design of the Galaxy S25 Edge makes it easier than ever for users to capture memorable moments and express their creativity anytime, anywhere. The 200MP wide lens upholds the Galaxy S Series’ iconic camera experience while taking Nightography to a new level. Thanks to its ultra-high resolution, users get sharper photos while maintaining clearer shots with large pixel size —capturing images with over 40% improved brightness[1] in low-light environments. The 12MP ultra-wide sensor features autofocus, which powers crisp, detailed macro photography for even more creative flexibility.

Galaxy S25 Edge benefits from the same ProVisual Engine that was optimised for the Galaxy S25 with pro-grade enhancements, like ensuring sharp details for clothes or plants and natural, true-to-life skin tone in portraits. Galaxy AI-powered editing features, including fan-favourites like Audio Eraser[2] and Drawing Assist[3] are all brought over from the Galaxy S25 Series, pairing advanced creative and editing tools with a never-before-seen slim form factor.

Peak Performance Expertly Configured in Ultra-Slim Housing

Galaxy S25 Edge is built to deliver premium performance, starting with the Snapdragon 8 ® Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the same processor available in all Galaxy S25 Series devices globally. Customised by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the chipset powers the Galaxy S25 Edge’s on-device AI processing capabilities and offers reliably fast performance all day. The Galaxy S25 Edge also keeps its cool under sustained use thanks to a reconfigured vapor chamber that is now thinner, yet broader for steady heat dissipation.

Matching the Galaxy S Series’ renowned performance standards, the Galaxy S25 Edge features advanced, efficient AI image processing with ProScaler[4], which delivers a 40% improvement[5] in display image scaling quality, while incorporating Samsung’s customised mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe).

A Trusted Companion with Galaxy AI

Integrating Galaxy AI at nearly every touchpoint, Galaxy S25 Edge offers our most natural and context-aware mobile AI experiences yet. Users get personalised, multimodal AI capabilities with peace of mind that their personal data is always safe.

Mirroring the broader Galaxy S25 Series, Galaxy S25 Edge integrates AI agents that work seamlessly across multiple apps, helping as a true AI companion to get things done easily. Galaxy AI also gets better at integrating with daily routines. Now Brief and Now Bar[6] include third-party app integrations for greater convenience and helpful reminders during everyday commuting, dining and more.

Thanks to Galaxy’s deep integration with Google, the Galaxy S25 Edge brings Gemini’s latest advancements to more users. For example, with Gemini Live’s[7] new camera and screen sharing abilities, users can show Gemini Live what they see on their screen or in the world around them while simultaneously interacting with it in a live conversation.

Experiences powered by Galaxy AI on Galaxy S25 Edge are not just convenient — they are designed with privacy at the core. On-device AI processing ensures data is kept secure by Samsung Knox Vault, continuing Samsung’s unwavering commitment to ensure hyper-personalised mobile experiences never sacrifice privacy.

Rooted in precise craftsmanship and driven by performance, Galaxy S25 Edge delivers pro-level photography, personalised AI experiences, and more. It goes beyond a slim form factor to challenge expectations for what a smartphone can be.

Availability

Galaxy S25 Edge will be available in a captivating range of colours, including Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack and Titanium Icyblue.

The Galaxy S25 Edge will be available for pre-order from 13 May 2025.
