<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At Innovation For All (IFA) 2025, Samsung Electronics showcased its vision for “AI Home: Future Living, Now”. Samsung’s AI Home aims to be a reality people can experience today — not just in the future — and one designed for everyone, not just a select few.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“At Samsung, we’re not just imagining the future of AI; we’re building it into everyday life. Samsung’s AI Home moves beyond smart devices to homes that truly understand you, adapt to your needs, and care for what matters most,” said<strong> Cheolgi Kim (CK), Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Appliances (DA) Business</strong>. “This is the beginning of a new era &#8211; where technology supports your life in the background so that you can live it more fully.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s AI Home experience is designed to make everyday living more convenient, efficient, healthy, and safe.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung research<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> reveals that 66% of consumers find the idea of an AI-enabled home appealing, with many envisioning streamlined daily tasks (44%) and greater control via phone or voice commands (45%). AI Home, with SmartThings automated routines, delivers on this vision – automating lighting, temperature, and even syncing blinds with the weather for effortless living<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The home is a sanctuary for 93% of people and a social hub for 80%. As families spend more time together, AI Home enhances shared moments with wellness checks, personalised sleep settings, and nutrition planning.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Energy efficiency is one of the main benefits consumers look for from AI. 66% believe an AI enabled home can help track costs and save money. With SmartThings Energy, AI Home can reduce washing machine energy use by up to 70%<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a><a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Security remains critical, with 40% expecting AI to improve home protection through timely alerts. Samsung Knox Vault safeguards sensitive data at the hardware level, while Knox Matrix extends protection across connected devices with ecosystem-wide security<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a></p>

<li><strong>Bespoke AI Dishwasher: </strong>AI Wash optimises the cleaning cycle based on how dirty the dishes are<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[8]</sup></span></span></a>, and Auto Open Door allows steam to escape, accelerating the drying process.</li>
<li><strong>Extractor Induction Hob:</strong> Integrating the extractor into the hob maximises kitchen space.</li>

<p>Starting with the Galaxy S24 series and a commitment to democratise Galaxy AI to over 200 million devices in 2024, Samsung Galaxy has defined a new era of mobile AI innovation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, the latest Galaxy AI experience comes to new products, designed to ensure a seamless mobile experience on a wider range of devices with multimodal capabilities.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced the new Sound Tower (ST50F and ST40F models), its latest innovation in portable audio. Built for large gatherings, these new models combine advanced acoustic technology with a dynamic, modern design to deliver an immersive party experience through both light and sound.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>“The new Sound Tower sets a new standard in how consumers experience entertainment in both indoor and outdoor settings,”</em> said <strong>Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.</strong> <em>“With customisable lighting effects and an upgraded form factor that produces </em><em>fully encompassing</em><em> sound, it underscores Samsung’s commitment to providing innovative audio solutions for the diverse lifestyles of customers.”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Powerful Party Sound</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Sound Tower’s redesigned acoustic structure delivers up to 240W<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> of rich, room-filling sound with exceptional clarity and deep bass. With Samsung’s Waveguide technology applied to its dual dome tweeters, audio is distributed and enhanced to ensure a wider, more even soundstage.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This optimisation provides crisp treble that can be heard clearly, while dual woofers deliver customisable bass with Deep, Punchy and Gentle modes, which allow listeners to tailor their experience to their preferences. Four additional sound modes — Standard, Wide, Stadium and Outdoor — let listeners further fine-tune their audio to match any setting, from backyard barbecues to packed dance floors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether indoors or outdoors, users can enjoy long-lasting performance with up to 18 hours of untethered playtime on a single charge, while water resistance offers peace of mind during outdoor use.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For an even more immersive soundscape, users can connect multiple units through Auracast<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Group Play or pair two Sound Towers via Stereo Play with True Wireless Stereo (TWS) for true left-right channel audio.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-21788 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/01_Jam-Session_Stereo-Play-with-TWS_Loft_Day_96DPI.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="792" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/01_Jam-Session_Stereo-Play-with-TWS_Loft_Day_96DPI.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/01_Jam-Session_Stereo-Play-with-TWS_Loft_Day_96DPI-1000x550.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/01_Jam-Session_Stereo-Play-with-TWS_Loft_Day_96DPI-768x422.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/01_Jam-Session_Stereo-Play-with-TWS_Loft_Day_96DPI-1024x563.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>

<h3>Vibrant Party Lights + For Every Mood</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Sound Tower’s Party Lights + system transforms any gathering into an immersive audiovisual experience. With five mood presets and six dynamic lighting patterns, users can set the perfect vibe using the Samsung Sound Tower App.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The system reacts in real time, analysing music beats and frequencies to activate dozens of LEDs in sync with the rhythm. Customisable mood options include a wide range of effects, movements and colors, including Wave, Trail, Spark, Breeze, Flow and Flare — making it easy to create atmospheres that range from “Festival” to “Chill.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Upgraded LED lighting extends across five key areas of the speaker to deliver a 360° effect:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Track light</strong>: an iconic LED racetrack-style light that surrounds the two woofer units to display vivid patterns.</li>
<li><strong>Ring light</strong>: LED lights highlight powerful colors around the two tweeter units.</li>
<li><strong>Line lights</strong>: four perimeter line lights that frame the body of the speaker for a moody effect.</li>
<li><strong>Crystal lights</strong>: centered at the base and the foot of the speaker to produce an energising atmosphere.</li>
<li><strong>Handle light</strong>: doubles as a functional detail, illuminating the control panel and providing support for a tablet or smartphone for easy interaction and control of music and settings</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For added entertainment, built-in DJ Booth and Karaoke modes — as well as a guitar input — turn any space into a live stage, combining powerful sound and lighting for a true party-ready experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-21789 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/06_GripRoll_Powerful-Party-Sound_Skatepark_Day_96DPI.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="792" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/06_GripRoll_Powerful-Party-Sound_Skatepark_Day_96DPI.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/06_GripRoll_Powerful-Party-Sound_Skatepark_Day_96DPI-1000x550.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/06_GripRoll_Powerful-Party-Sound_Skatepark_Day_96DPI-768x422.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/06_GripRoll_Powerful-Party-Sound_Skatepark_Day_96DPI-1024x563.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>

<h3>Portable and Built to Last</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Designed for versatility, the Sound Tower’s bold, geometric form, integrated lighting and transport-ready build make it as visually striking as it is functional. It redefines portable party audio with a balance of power, design and convenience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new models also feature Samsung’s Grip &amp; Roll design, with a bottom grip slot and integrated handle on the ST40F model, and the addition of wheels and a telescopic handle on the ST50F model for effortless mobility. Each model has been designed to deliver an elevated audio experience that matches a variety of needs:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>

<li><strong>Sound Tower ST40F</strong>: 160W output, up to 12 hours of battery life, 5.25” dual woofers, 20mm dual dome tweeters, integrated handle, IPX4 water resistance.</li>
