																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>LONDON, UK – 16<sup>th</sup> November 2022 </strong>– A new study reveals the extent viral cooking hacks and recipes on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook influence the nation’s cooking habits. The research, commissioned by <strong>Sam</strong><strong>sung Electronics </strong><strong>Co., </strong><strong>Ltd.</strong>, reveals almost six in 10 people (58%) have tried a cooking hack or recipe they have seen on social media, with more than one in 10 (11%) feeling inspired <em>‘more than once a day’</em> by the cooking or baking content they see online.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When it comes to viral food trends the nation have built into their cooking routine, air frying came out top, with four in 10 UK adults (42%) now using air frying as a healthier option to deep fry food. Chips (39%), chicken (38%) and potatoes (33%) are the most popular foods to air fry, followed by less obvious foods such as salmon (19%), meatballs (19%) and steak (18%). Whilst sweet treats, such as cookies (25%) and donuts (16%), are also popular to cook in an air fryer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In terms of gender, more women (45%) then men (38%) air fry their food, with the 18 to 24-year-olds age group air frying the most (62%). Regionally, those living in London have built air frying into their cooking routine (59%) more than anywhere else, followed by residents in the North West (49%) and North East (48%) of England.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To give the nation some air frying inspiration, Samsung’s teamed up with <a href="https://www.lunchboxdoctor.com/books"><strong>Jenny Tschiesche</strong></a>, author of <strong>Sunday Times Bestseller</strong> <em>‘</em><a href="https://www.lunchboxdoctor.com/books"><strong><em>Air Fryer Cookbook</em></strong></a><em>’</em> – which features 101 delicious, tried-and-tested recipes to help you get the most out of your air-fryer – to share her top five air frying hacks:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>If you would like to cook something but only have oven cooking instructions, fear not. You can reduce the cooking time and the temperature as follows:
<ul>
<li>Reduce the temperature by 20º.</li>
<li>Reduce the cooking length by 20%.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>You can air fry in baking sheets and trays. Not everything is best cooked straight on the air fryer rack. Foods that lend themselves best to being cooked in a baking sheet or tray include flapjacks, gratin dishes and anything with a sauce.</li>
<li>Space out your food. The most efficient and effective air frying happens when there is space between food items so that hot air can circulate all around it and cook the food evenly.</li>
<li>Invest in a digital food thermometer. This one tool will give you confidence when air frying. Air frying is a new way of cooking for many and knowing that your food is cooked to a safe temperature is reassuring. Here’s a useful table to help:</li>
</ol>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" width="402">Air Fryer – Internal Cooking Temperatures</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="201">Food Type</td>
<td width="201">Min. Temp (<strong>°C)</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="201">Minced meat / Sausages</td>

<td width="201">57 (Medium-Rare)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="201">Pork</td>
<td width="201">63</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol start="5">
<li>Buy a pair of tongs for turning food such as kebabs, burgers, croquettes, nuggets, and breaded fish for even cooking. Those with silicone tips will be the easiest to clean.</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Other viral trends the nation are looking to build into their cooking routines include meal prepping (30%), meat free meals (26%) and ‘mindful cooking’ (20%), which involves tuning into the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of the culinary task at hand. Whilst some of the nation’s top cooking hacks and trends include creating <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@justine_snacks/video/7143762637204098350?is_from_webapp=v1&amp;item_id=7143762637204098350">butter boards</a> (17%), using a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/discover/potato-ricer-mashed-potatoes">ricer or food mill to grind potatoes</a> (23%) and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/discover/whole-roast-garlic-recipes">roasting a whole garlic</a> (20%).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When it comes to the reasons why people use viral cooking hacks and make recipes they see online, creating more affordable meals (53%), simplifying the cooking experience (44%) and wanting to save time in the kitchen (43%) ranked top. Whilst others said they do so to streamline the cooking process (40%), create healthier meals (39%) and impress friends and family (23%).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Dan Harvie, VP, Head of Home Appliances, Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd., said: </strong><em>“We know the impact cooking hacks and recipes found on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook have on our customers cooking routines, which is why we continually innovate and introduce new features to meet changing lifestyle needs, such as air frying. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>“Earlier this year, we launched the </em><em>5 and 6 series cooking appliances, including multiple ovens which come with an air frying function built in, helping to promote healthy eating. Simply place food on the tray and use the Air Fry mode to </em><em>cook food using a little oil and without a deep fryer. Plus, with SmartThings Cooking, you can get personalised recipes and a weekly meal plan that promote healthy eating, ensuring you always stay on track.”</em></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We live in a fast-changing world that requires us to be constantly innovating and adapting. In line with this trend, Samsung Electronics’ latest products and technologies propose exciting new directions for various aspects of daily life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>CES 2022 offers visitors and online viewers an opportunity to see for themselves how Samsung has been innovating for the future. From displays and home appliances, to products and services that raise the bar for innovation, the company’s showcase at the world’s largest technology show offers a peek at what our daily lives will look like very soon.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s CES 2022 booth is full of eye-catching innovations. But which products and technologies will viewers and visitors absolutely not want to miss? To answer that question, Samsung Newsroom went straight to the source, asking the experts behind the innovations which ones they think deserve a closer look.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In part one of this two-part series, Telly Lee, Vice President of Samsung’s Home Appliances Division and Jungrae Kim of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business will explain how Samsung designed its latest home appliances and projector to cater to consumers’ evolving lifestyles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Bespoke Kitchen: Home Appliances That Evolve in Line With Users’ Changing Lives</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CES-experts-behind-innovative-1_main1F.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲Telly Lee, Vice President of Samsung’s Home Appliances Division and Head of the Kitchen Product Planning Group, with Samsung’s Bespoke French Door refrigerators</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: What can you tell us about the home appliance products and technologies that are being showcased at CES 2022?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are going to focus on introducing the Bespoke kitchen, in which refrigerators and colours are unified to great effect. The Bespoke kitchen begins with our flagship Bespoke refrigerators. We’ve expanded the Bespoke range to FDR (French Door refrigerators) in the U.S. market in 4-door and 3-door models. This represents a significant expansion of our lineup following the release of Bespoke refrigerators in 4-Door Flex, Bottom Mount Freezer and 1-Door Column types in 2021.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One unique point of innovation for Samsung’s Bespoke refrigerator is the Beverage Center. Featuring a water dispenser hidden inside the door, the Beverage Center offers a convenient, hygienic solution that enables the fridge to feature a smooth exterior. Along with the new Bespoke refrigerators, we’re also showcasing other vibrant and colourful products that are part of the Bespoke kitchen like oven ranges and dishwashers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These days, we’re seeing more customers in the U.S. choose modern designs for their kitchens. With Bespoke, we want to show that it’s possible to decorate your kitchen based on your individual tastes with a palette that includes colours that blend in with your interior, as well as accent colours.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At CES, we are also showcasing SmartThings Cooking, a service that introduces connected experiences to the kitchen. With this service, users can receive recipe recommendations and information to help them save time on both prep and cooking. SmartThings Cooking recommends recipes that fit your tastes and dietary restrictions, then builds meal plans to match. As you’re cooking, it also sends recipe instructions directly to synced Samsung cooking devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: What are some unique or attractive aspects of the new Bespoke offerings that you don’t want visitors at CES to miss?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>First, I’d like to underline the expansion of the Bespoke range, which gives consumers who want their refrigerator to reflect their preferences in terms of colour and materials even more options to choose from.  Since launching Bespoke in the U.S. in 2021, we’ve seen continuous demand for this type of customization. Delivering on this is one of the reasons we added the French Door refrigerator to our 2022 Bespoke refrigerator lineup. The panels come in twelve colours, which means that there are over 20,000 possible colour combinations for a four-door refrigerator alone. I am confident that no other refrigerator offers customers this much choice.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another can’t-miss aspect is the features. The Beverage Center, for instance includes a 1.4-liter AutoFill water pitcher, as well as a Dual Auto Ice Maker that holds up to 4.1kg of ice. What’s more, the FlexZone offers five different temperature modes to keep ingredients like meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables at optimal temperatures. These unique features help bring greater convenience to users’ daily lives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Users also get to experience an even smarter kitchen with Family Hub, which is included in the latest Bespoke refrigerator lineup. By using the large screen on the front of the refrigerator users can enjoy music and videos in the kitchen and control kitchen appliances and smart devices too. With a screen that integrates seamlessly into the door panel, and with a highly aesthetic design and minimized bezels, the Bespoke Family Hub is capable of blending into any space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Last but not least, we are introducing the Bespoke Atelier app that we first launched in Korea to the global market. The app offers access to more than 170 works of art from global artists, covering various periods, trends and themes. It recommends works of art and allows you to create your own gallery of sorts by customizing your display to suit your tastes. In addition, when users display an artwork in listening mode, they’ll be able to hear a description of the art with subtitles. This makes it feel like you’re enjoying a guided tour an art museum from the comfort of your kitchen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CES-experts-behind-innovative-1_main2F.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="581" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Samsung’s Bespoke Family Hub refrigerator</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: Our way of life has changed dramatically over the past two years, with technology that connects people becoming more important as contactless ways of doing things increasingly become the norm. What kind of impact do you think the products and technologies showcased at CES 2022 will have on people’s lives?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As users have begun to spend more and more time at home, their lives have become more “home-centric”. We expect this trend to continue in 2022. At the same time, concern for sustainability continues to increase on the heels of events like the United Nations’ COP26 conference, and with environmental regulations being strengthened across the globe. With these shifts in consumer lifestyles and interests in mind, Samsung has been working to provide kitchen solutions that are “customized, smarter, and more sustainable.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our customized kitchen solutions cater to users who have been spending a lot of time in their kitchen and thus feel a stronger desire to remodel their space to reflect their tastes. By expanding our Bespoke lineup, we are providing a more diverse range of refrigerator types and colour options, helping users build customized kitchens that suit both their lifestyle and their interior design scheme.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Spending more time at home has naturally led to a rise in home cooking as well. To help make this easier by making kitchens “smarter”, Samsung introduced SmartThings Cooking, a tailored cooking journey service that does everything from looking up recipes to creating a diet plan and even shops for groceries. Powered by Whisk’s Food AI, SmartThings Cooking recommends your personalized recipe and meal plans based on your tastes, dietary needs and groceries you have on hand. The service also allows you to enjoy convenient one-stop grocery shopping with your favorite grocery retail brands available through the Whisk network. When it comes time to cook, SmartThings ensures a seamless cooking expreience while communicating directly with your smart Samsung kitchen appliances.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>And with Family Hub, consumers can even utilise this service through the display on the front of their fridge while continuing to control other home appliances from it as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finally, our kitchen solutions are becoming “more sustainable.” Bespoke refrigerators are built for high energy efficiency, and their replaceable door panels help extend their lifespans. Samsung continues to innovate on this front, seeking out ways to incorporate cutting-edge technology into our appliances while keeping sustainability in mind as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The Freestyle : Designing a projector that’s not limited by space</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CES-experts-behind-innovative-1_main3F.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Jungrae Kim of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business proudly displays The Freestyle, a new portable screen introduced at CES.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: Could you walk us through how your team came up with The Freestyle?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ever since the pandemic changed our daily lives, our personal spaces have become more and more important. This is particularly true of relaxing spaces like the bedroom, where we’re seeing more people using products for the purposes of entertainment. We’re also seeing more people utilise cozy and quiet spaces in their homes, as well as increased interest in spending time outdoors – by going camping, for example. We wanted to reflect these trends of our time in our products, and enable users to use them as they wish – anytime, anywhere, and regardless of space limitations. That’s how we came up with the personal, movable smart projector that is The Freestyle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: What are unique points of the Freestyle?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Freestyle was designed to offer users new levels of functionality. It’s easy to see what sets this product apart just by looking at it. To allow users to carry around every day, we designed The Freestyle to be lightweight, weighing just 830 grams. The fact that you can conveniently carry it with you wherever you go is its biggest advantage.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Freestyle also features a simpler installation process. All users need to do is place The Freestyle wherever they want, and then turn it on. That’s it. The Freestyle comes with full auto keystone and auto leveling features, enabled by industry-leading technology. The features allow the device to automatically adjust to any surface at any angle, providing a perfectly proportional image every time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Users can enjoy a seamless and continuous viewing experience by accessing their user accounts and settings for major OTT services. On top of that, we’ve also applied the industry’s first far-field voice control technology. So when it is turned on, users can search for content using just their voice. When the projector is off, they can use the device to listen to music or ask for the day’s weather just as they would with a smart speaker.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Freestyle’s picture and sound quality – the most basic and important features of any display – also deserve a closer look. We applied Samsung TVs’ picture quality engine, and the white balance is adjusted automatically according to the colour and tone of the wall that is being projected to. We also applied dual passive radiators to produce deep, high-quality bass. This allows customers to enjoy a cinema-quality sound experience no matter where they are.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CES-experts-behind-innovative-1_main4F.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Q: In line with Samsung’s ‘Screens Everywhere’ vision, The Freestyle can be utilized in various ways for maximum convenience. What are some specific use cases for The Freestyle?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>First of all, The Freestyle can be conveniently set up in a user’s bedroom. While lying in bed, before falling asleep, they can use the device’s integrated cradle to move the projection from the wall to the ceiling to continue watching a movie more comfortably. The Freestyle can also be placed lightly on a dining room table, transforming the room into a new space for entertainment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In order to utilise spaces like this, our developers came up with a new installation solution that we applied to the product. Thanks to those efforts, users can also utilise the device on a tabletop or floor by connecting it to a standard E26 light socket<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>. There’s no need for a separate power supply or cable connection, so it can be used immediately.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For powering it up, The Freestyle is compatible with external batteries<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> that support USB-PD and 50W/20V output or above, so users can take it with them anywhere, whether they are on the move, on a camping trip and more. When it’s not used as a projector to stream content, The Freestyle also provides mood lighting effect thanks to its ambient mode and translucent lens cap.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through close cooperation with Samsung’s MX (Mobile eXperience) Business, we’ve equipped The Freestyle with a button that syncs it with Galaxy devices. With just a push of a button, users can instantly use their Galaxy device as a remote control. They can also utilise mobile hotspots when no Wi-Fi networks are available. We’ve developed this product by paying close attention to even the smallest details, all to make the device just as convenient and easy to use outdoors as it is at home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CES-experts-behind-innovative-1-main5FF.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn4"><span>[1]</span></a> Light socket connection feature will be first applied in US.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn4"><span>[2]</span></a> USamsung is not liable for 3rd party external batteries.</span></em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span>UK, London – January 6, 2021 </span><span>– Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. &#8211; </span> </strong>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. shared its vision for the future at the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The company introduced new products at its virtual press conference, showing how it’s continuing to innovate by creating solutions that are flexible, intelligently connected, and use AI to understand context to make daily life seamless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Our world looks different, and many of you have been faced with a new reality – one where, among other things, your home has taken on a greater significance,” said Sebastian Seung, President and Head of Samsung Research, the advanced R&amp;D hub of the company that leads the development of future technologies for Samsung Electronics’ SET (end-products), addressing the company’s efforts to enhance the at-home technology experience. “Our innovations are designed to provide more personal and more intuitive experiences that express your personality. We’re hard at work to bring you next-generation innovation, with AI as the core enabler, for your better tomorrow.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Creating More Intimate and Personalised User Experiences</strong></p>
<p>As people spent more time at home last year, the tech they wanted became the tech they needed. In relying on that tech, people came to understand many ways connected solutions could make life easier. TVs were vital for entertainment—and sometimes, fitness. Smart <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/refrigerators/all-refrigerators/">fridges</a> helped with remote shopping and meal prep and Smartphones were indispensable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s continued investments in innovations that adapt to evolving lifestyles enable the company to keep pace with rapid changes. Key innovations unveiled include:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Samsung Bespoke 4-Door Flex</strong><strong>:</strong> The latest version of the Bespoke <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/refrigerators/">refrigerator</a> available in North America this Spring features changeable panels that come with a choice of colors and materials that made the original a success, allowing consumers to adjust their fridge for form and function. The new 4-Door model also includes a brand-new Beverage Center<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, which gives quick access to a water dispenser and an automatically-filled water pitcher. The 4-door Bespoke also comes equipped with a Dual Auto Ice Maker which makes not only regular cubed ice but also smaller ‘ice bites’ to suit different preferences for cold beverages.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>110-inch MICRO LED: </strong>This new screen features self-lit inorganic LED with a slim and nearly bezel-less Infinity Screen design that seamlessly blends into the living space. The result is a spectacularly immersive viewing experience with astounding picture quality. The 110-inch MICRO LED also adds “4Vue” (Quad View), a four-way viewing option—so you can keep up with multiple sports at once, or stream a tutorial while playing a video game. MICRO LED will be rolled out globally beginning this spring<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Lifestyle TV:</strong> Samsung’s cutting-edge lifestyle TV lineup includes The Serif, The Frame, The Sero and The Terrace—a recently launched 4K QLED outdoor TV—as well as Samsung The Premiere, a cinema-like quality 4K laser projector.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>SmartThings Cooking: </strong>Coming to the United Kingdom later this year, Samsung SmartThings is expanding to make your culinary journey seamless. An automatic Meal Planner powered by Whisk’s Food AI recommends meals for the whole week, makes shopping lists with the ingredients you need, and connects to grocery retailers for one-stop shopping straight from the Family Hub<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> refrigerator or your mobile screen. Recipe instructions can be sent directly to synced Samsung cooking devices to minimise hassles and mistakes<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Samsung Health Smart Trainer on Samsung 2021 TVs</strong>: Samsung Health seamlessly transforms the home into a personal gym, and the new Smart Trainer<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a> feature tracks and analyses posture in real time, just like a personal trainer. During and post-workout, Smart Trainer provides feedback on form, helps you count your reps, and estimates calories burned. With video and interactive training via Bixby-enabled voice control, Samsung Health Smart Trainer elevates and personalises the home workout experience and will be coming to the UK this year.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Bringing AI and Robots to Daily Life including Housekeeping</strong></p>
<p>Samsung has long been at the forefront of AI and robotics innovation, leveraging its seven global AI research centers to advance technology. By bringing AI to its products, Samsung is creating new home experiences—from <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/washers-and-dryers/washing-machines/">washing machines</a> that optimise water usage, detergents, and wash cycles, to TVs with a Quantum AI Processor that can upscale HD content into pristine 8K resolution.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The major technologies featured during Samsung’s press conference include the following:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>JetBot 90 AI+:</strong> Coming to the US 1H 2021, this new vacuum cleaner uses object recognition technology to identify and classify objects to decide the best cleaning path. LiDAR and 3D sensors allow JetBot 90 AI+ to avoid cables and small objects, while still cleaning hard-to-reach corners in your home. Also outfitted with a camera, JetBot 90 AI+ is integrated with the SmartThings app to assist you with home monitoring.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Samsung Bot</strong><strong><span><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> </span></strong><strong>Care<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a></strong>: The latest development in Samsung’s growing robotics lineup, <strong>Samsung Bot</strong><strong><span><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> </span></strong><strong>Care</strong> is designed use AI to recognise and respond to your behavior. It will be able to act as both a robotic assistant and companion, helping to take care of the details in your life. It will also learn your schedule and habits and send you reminders to help guide you throughout your busy day.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Samsung Bot</strong><strong><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Handy<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a></strong>: Also in development, <strong>Samsung Bot</strong><strong><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Handy</strong> will rely on advanced AI to recognise and pick up objects of varying sizes, shapes and weights, becoming an extension of you and helping you with work around the house. <strong>Samsung Bot</strong><strong><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Handy</strong> will be able to tell the difference between the material composition of various objects, utilising the appropriate amount of force to grab and move around household items and objects, working as your trusted partner to help with house chores like cleaning up messy rooms or sorting out the dishes after a meal.</li>
</ul>
<p>Looking to the future, Samsung is also developing other tangible applications of AI technologies for daily life. Samsung is continuing to build on its <strong>Samsung Bot</strong><strong><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Retail,</strong> which would guide users outside the home in retail environments, and <strong>GEMS</strong>, Samsung’s health-focused exoskeleton as mobility aide. These innovations allow robots and robotic devices to co-exist with humans, enhancing their lives and catering to a variety of lifestyles and different environments.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Technology for a Better Future</strong></p>
<p>Samsung closed its CES 2021 press conference by sharing more on the brand’s vision for how technology can enable progress and create a better tomorrow for all. Samsung believes that there is no single all-encompassing solution; a sustainable future requires investments across a broad spectrum. That’s why Samsung is focused on three key areas that are poised to benefit the most from technological innovation: sustainability, education, and accessibility.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“At Samsung, we are always looking for ways to build a better, more sustainable future,” said Sandeep Rana, Senior Manager, Environmental Sustainability Specialist at Samsung, who shared Samsung’s sustainability message at the press conference. “With a focus on the environment, people and society, we will continue to provide our consumers with responsible tools and technologies to address our challenges today and enable a better future for all.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of its commitment to creating a circular economy, Samsung is developing programs and packaging solutions that promote a sustainable product lifecycle—from beginning to end:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<li><strong>Galaxy Upcycling at Home:</strong> At the event, Samsung announced an update to its Galaxy Upcycling program called Galaxy Upcycling at Home. The new program reimagines the lifecycle of an older Galaxy phone and offers consumers options on how they might be able to repurpose their device to create a variety of convenient IoT tools.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>TV Eco Packaging:</strong> Additionally, Samsung announced that its eco-packaging would expand to QLED, UHD TV, monitor, and audio products in 2021. As part of an ongoing commitment to eco-consciousness, Samsung is creating products and solutions with sustainability at the core. For example, Samsung’s new Solar Cell Remote Control—made in part with recycled plastic—can be charged via solar or indoor lighting, reducing battery waste.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Believing that future generations will play a critical role in building a sustainable future, Samsung has also prioritised technology education through <strong>Samsung Solve for Tomorrow,</strong> which encourages young people to creatively use technology to solve community challenges, and <strong>Samsung Innovation Campus,</strong> which helps students develop technical and personal skills for future jobs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung also highlighted at the event how it is making its products even more inclusive and accessible for all. The <strong>SeeColors application</strong> is designed to help those with color vision deficiency (CVD) to adjust the settings on their 2021 QLED TVs for a better viewing experience, and the <strong>Sign Language Zoom</strong> feature on TVs ensures that everyone, regardless of ability, can easily enjoy cutting-edge technology.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lastly, understanding how challenging it can be to strike a balance between our digital and analog lives, Samsung presented the <strong>Digital Wellbeing feature,</strong> designed to help people take control and manage their digital time—so they can use technology to better our lives and empower ourselves.</p>
