<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 06 October 2026</strong><strong> – </strong>Samsung and OMO Superlift Auto Liquid detergent are helping take the guesswork out of doing laundry by bringing together smart washing technology and advanced detergent innovation. This technology helps households use only the detergent you need for each load, delivering powerful cleaning performance while helping to reduce everyday waste and household costs.</p>



<p>On selected Samsung washing machines, <strong>Auto Dispense</strong><sup data-fn="463c70ea-b240-4bc9-84c4-b28d4368f517" class="fn"><a href="#463c70ea-b240-4bc9-84c4-b28d4368f517" id="463c70ea-b240-4bc9-84c4-b28d4368f517-link">1</a></sup> automatically releases the precise amount of OMO detergent required for each load, helping eliminate the trial and error of measuring detergent by hand. Instead of guessing whether a load needs more or less, the appliance helps deliver the right dose for the wash.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1000" height="1778" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/06122932/Wash-Days-9x16-pixels8-1000x1778.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26214" /></figure>



<p>The intelligent experience goes further with <strong>AI Wash</strong><sup data-fn="09c95dd0-04cf-4a29-b9e7-ab5e7b4e37f2" class="fn"><a href="#09c95dd0-04cf-4a29-b9e7-ab5e7b4e37f2" id="09c95dd0-04cf-4a29-b9e7-ab5e7b4e37f2-link">2</a></sup>, which detects the weight and soil level of laundry to optimise the amount of detergent, water and wash settings required. This means a lightly soiled load does not need to be treated the same way as a heavily soiled one, helping households avoid using more resources than necessary.</p>



<p>Samsung Washing Machine also has <strong>EcoBubble</strong><sup data-fn="ca612d7c-d05c-474a-96b3-fa8c1f8180df" class="fn"><a href="#ca612d7c-d05c-474a-96b3-fa8c1f8180df" id="ca612d7c-d05c-474a-96b3-fa8c1f8180df-link">3</a></sup><strong> technology</strong> also helps deliver powerful cleaning performance at lower temperatures by mixing detergent with air and water to create bubbles that penetrate fabrics quickly. This can help reduce the energy required for washing, while still delivering the cleaning performance consumers expect.</p>



<p>Together, the technologies help address some of the most common laundry frustrations. That stubborn detergent residue left on dark clothing. The extra wash cycle after clothes were not cleaned properly the first time. The favourite shirt or pair of jeans that seems to wear out sooner than expected after repeated washing. And the monthly household expenses that continue to rise, one unnecessary wash or overdosed detergent load at a time.</p>



<p>By combining Samsung’s smart appliances with OMO’s advanced cleaning formulas, the partnership is designed to make laundry more precise, efficient and convenient. The result is a smarter approach to washing that can help reduce detergent waste, optimise water and energy use and support better fabric care.</p>



<p>Samsung and OMO remind us that smarter living is often found in the everyday routines we take for granted. By replacing guesswork with smart technology, households can make every wash count.</p>

<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 06 October 2026</strong><strong> – </strong>As we settle into warmer days, the way we experience comfort at home is evolving. Today’s households are looking beyond traditional cooling solutions toward smarter, more intuitive technologies that fit seamlessly into everyday life.</p>



<p>Samsung’s Bespoke AI WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><sup data-fn="f0284a31-49eb-40e9-879c-30a0a0a59870" class="fn"><a href="#f0284a31-49eb-40e9-879c-30a0a0a59870" id="f0284a31-49eb-40e9-879c-30a0a0a59870-link">1</a></sup> air conditioning range is helping redefine modern home comfort through intelligent AI-powered technology designed to learn routines, adapt automatically, and maintain consistent temperatures effortlessly across different living spaces.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1000" height="666" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/06115607/windfree-4-1024x682-1-1000x666.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26210" /></figure>



<p>Rather than relying on constant manual adjustments, Samsung Bespoke AI WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Air Conditioners creates personalised comfort experiences tailored to how people actually live. From busy family mornings and focused workdays to restful evenings and uninterrupted sleep, the system intelligently adapts to daily habits to ensure homes remain comfortable throughout the day.</p>

This means users can wake up to a cool and comfortable room in the morning, return home after work to balanced indoor temperatures, or enjoy automatic adjustments between weekday routines and more relaxed weekends without constantly reaching for a remote.</p>



<p>The technology also delivers smart comfort across multiple spaces within the home. Whether it’s a shared living room where the whole family gathers, a child’s bedroom requiring steady overnight temperatures, or a home office during long working hours indoors, Samsung Air conditioners help maintain gentle, consistent airflow designed to keep everyone comfortable.</p>



<p>Beyond comfort, Samsung Air conditioners will help households manage energy usage more intelligently during this spring and upcoming summer. AI Energy Mode optimises performance according to real household needs, helping reduce energy consumption while still maintaining ideal comfort levels.</p>



<p>This includes lowering energy use in unused rooms, adjusting cooling performance throughout the day, and maintaining efficient overnight comfort without excessive power consumption.</p>



<p>As smart home technology continues transforming everyday living, Samsung represents a shift toward comfort solutions that are not only powerful and efficient, but also adaptive, personalised, and designed around real human routines.</p>

<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – September 2026</strong><strong> – </strong>Time is important, between work commitments, school runs, family responsibilities and the countless tasks that fill every day, consumers are constantly looking for smarter ways to maximise their time. Laundry, while essential, is often one of those repetitive chores that quietly consumes more time and effort than it should. Samsung South Africa and OMO are changing that narrative.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1000" height="1778" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/25144222/Wash-Days-9x16-pixels4-1000x1778.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26196" /></figure>



<p>Rather than relying on guesswork, Samsung’s Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered washing machines work alongside OMO’s advanced cleaning formula to create an optimised wash from start to finish. The result is clean clothes in a single cycle, fewer repeat washes and more time for the moments that matter most.</p>



<p>At the heart of Samsung’s intelligent laundry experience is AI Wash<sup data-fn="3b6dd8c4-a0f5-4b50-8ca3-05b0ccfe8c71" class="fn"><a href="#3b6dd8c4-a0f5-4b50-8ca3-05b0ccfe8c71" id="3b6dd8c4-a0f5-4b50-8ca3-05b0ccfe8c71-link">1</a></sup>, which continuously monitors each load and intelligently adjusts water levels, detergent usage and wash settings to suit the fabrics and level of soiling. Instead of manually selecting programmes or wondering whether enough detergent has been added, the machine makes those decisions automatically, helping achieve exceptional cleaning while using resources more efficiently.</p>



<p>Complementing this is Samsung’s Auto Dispense<sup data-fn="badbbd01-fbb6-45f9-9b42-29ac39e3c8fc" class="fn"><a href="#badbbd01-fbb6-45f9-9b42-29ac39e3c8fc" id="badbbd01-fbb6-45f9-9b42-29ac39e3c8fc-link">2</a></sup> technology, which automatically releases the correct amount of detergent and softener for every load. For busy households, this means one less decision to make each time laundry needs to be done. There’s no measuring, no overpouring and no unnecessary detergent waste, making every wash simpler and more consistent.</p>



<p>For families balancing packed schedules, these intelligent features can make a noticeable difference. Parents preparing school uniforms, sports kits and work clothes no longer need to spend time rewashing garments because stains were missed or settings weren’t quite right. Instead, Samsung’s intelligent technology, paired with OMO’s unbeatable stain removal<sup data-fn="74be20d6-5de7-42ca-bec3-30ff0f7813b1" class="fn"><a href="#74be20d6-5de7-42ca-bec3-30ff0f7813b1" id="74be20d6-5de7-42ca-bec3-30ff0f7813b1-link">3</a></sup> formula, is designed to tackle dirt effectively in a single wash.</p>



<p>OMO’s advanced detergent formula works seamlessly with Samsung’s intelligent washing technologies, helping remove stubborn stains effectively while supporting fabric care. Together, the technologies reduce the likelihood of repeat washes, saving valuable time while also conserving water, energy and detergent. The result is an approach to laundry that goes beyond clean clothes by reducing everyday decision-making, and lightening the mental load associated with household management.</p>



<p>As connected appliances continue to become more intelligent, consumers are increasingly discovering that innovation is not simply about adding features. It’s about removing friction from daily life.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd<strong>. </strong>has announced that it is showcasing two new Bespoke AI Washer models during Innovation For All (IFA) 2026<sup data-fn="2edfacbb-d9a2-44e3-9151-32b1f8747ef8" class="fn"><a href="#2edfacbb-d9a2-44e3-9151-32b1f8747ef8" id="2edfacbb-d9a2-44e3-9151-32b1f8747ef8-link">1</a></sup>: a 10 kg model designed to deliver A-70% energy efficiency<sup data-fn="3e0038c9-f1cc-490c-ad3e-a8ac0874ffff" class="fn"><a href="#3e0038c9-f1cc-490c-ad3e-a8ac0874ffff" id="3e0038c9-f1cc-490c-ad3e-a8ac0874ffff-link">2</a></sup> and a 13kg large-capacity model engineered to fit within a standard 600mm depth.</p>



<p>As the official main sponsor of the IFA Creator Hub, Samsung is showcasing its latest innovations at Humboldt Carré in Berlin, Germany from 02 – 06 Sept. The new Bespoke AI Washers is among the products on display, highlighting Samsung’s latest advances in technology. The two new models combine improved energy efficiency and greater capacity with space-efficient design and AI-powered fabric care to help consumers manage laundry more efficiently and conveniently.</p>



<p>“At Samsung, we are continually challenging the traditional trade-offs between energy efficiency, capacity and convenience,” said VP and Head of the Customer Experience Team of the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “During IFA 2026, we’re demonstrating how innovation can help consumers reduce energy consumption, handle larger loads and enjoy a more intelligent and convenient laundry experience.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Larger 10 kg Bespoke AI Washer Brings New Efficiency Milestone</strong></h2>



<p>The Bespoke AI Washer with A-70% energy efficiency marks a new step forward for Samsung, following the A-55% Bespoke AI Washer introduced at IFA 2024 and the A-65% model showcased at IFA 2025. The new washer will be designed to consume up to 70% less energy than the minimum energy efficiency requirement for a Class A rating in Europe, while increasing washing capacity from 9kg<sup data-fn="f5e214ca-c185-4cd7-9c98-b222cc8875e6" class="fn"><a href="#f5e214ca-c185-4cd7-9c98-b222cc8875e6" id="f5e214ca-c185-4cd7-9c98-b222cc8875e6-link">3</a></sup> to 10kg.</p>



<p>By improving capacity and energy efficiency simultaneously, the new model builds on the company’s continued research into overcoming the traditional compromise between washing larger loads and reducing energy consumption. Samsung has achieved these gains through engineering improvements across key areas, including motor efficiency, thermal management and wash-cycle design. Together, these technologies reduce electricity consumption while maintaining effective cleaning performance and everyday usability.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>13kg Bespoke AI Washer Offers Increased Capacity with Standard-Depth Footprint</strong></h2>



<p>Samsung will also showcase the new Bespoke AI Washer with large capacity, which brings a 13kg washing capacity to a standard design depth of 600mm. Using SpaceMax<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology, which creates more space inside to enhance the mechanical design and incorporate a larger drum without increasing the external dimensions, the washer increases internal volume while maintaining a compact 24-inch form factor.</p>



<p>This space-efficient design allows users to wash larger loads, bedding and bulkier items — while helping the appliance fit within common European kitchen, utility-room and furniture configurations. The washer also incorporates Samsung’s mono-body design, creating a unified form designed to blend naturally into a wide range of interiors.</p>



<p>A slim front frame reinforces its streamlined silhouette, while refined colours, materials and finishes contribute to a clean, understated appearance. At the centre of the interface is a large touch display visually integrated with the detergent compartment. From this display, users can intuitively access cycle controls, connected features and personalised laundry services through SmartThings.<sup data-fn="6661f75f-1693-4c5c-8ad4-fb8dabed14c1" class="fn"><a href="#6661f75f-1693-4c5c-8ad4-fb8dabed14c1" id="6661f75f-1693-4c5c-8ad4-fb8dabed14c1-link">4</a></sup></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Auto Open Door Helps Keep the Washer Interior Fresh</strong></h2>



<p>For added convenience, both washers feature Auto Open Door<sup data-fn="7a979f0d-72ee-44f8-bb9b-22632f92fc3e" class="fn"><a href="#7a979f0d-72ee-44f8-bb9b-22632f92fc3e" id="7a979f0d-72ee-44f8-bb9b-22632f92fc3e-link">5</a></sup>. Once a wash cycle is complete, the washer door opens gradually to help release residual moisture from inside the drum. By automatically ventilating the interior after a cycle, Auto Open Door helps keep the washer interior fresh between cycles.</p>



<p>Together, the new A-70% and 13kg Bespoke AI Washers reflect Samsung’s continued effort to challenge traditional laundry trade-offs. They deliver great capacity with lower energy consumption, making everyday laundry more intelligent and convenient.</p>

<p>Samsung South Africa is turning up the heat in the Mother City as the Galaxy Hangouts experience hits in Cape Town this September, offering fans an immersive fusion of the latest mobile phone technology, leisure experiences, and rugby greatness. Headlining this latest Cape Town tour is an exclusive opportunity for supporters to meet their city’s rugby heroes from the DHL Stormers on 12 September 2026 (12:00 to 14:00) bridging the gap between the love for rugby and next-generation innovation.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/11082711/7518-Samsung-Galaxy-Hangout_Stormers-Visit_ScreenContent-03-1000x563.jpg" alt="Samsung Galaxy Hangouts Canal Walk Invitation" class="wp-image-26123" /></figure>



<p>Adding a heavy dose of local sporting pride, the inclusion of DHL Stormers players gives Cape Town fans a rare chance to interact off the field, snap unforgettable moments, and test the limits of Galaxy AI side-by-side with rugby royalty. Whether it is using the latest Galaxy Z8 Series camera features to capture crisp, high-quality selfies with the main camera or exploring the seamless device ecosystem, visitors can experience how Samsung technology keeps fans closer to the action.</p>



<p>When visiting the Galaxy Hangout at Canal Walk on Saturday, 12 September, attendees will also have a chance to win exclusive prizes. For example, when you complete the product experience journey, you’ll stand a chance to win 1 of 2 signed DHL Stormers Jerseys<sup data-fn="ae3232a9-c916-4367-92f3-96e6c136fedc" class="fn"><a href="#ae3232a9-c916-4367-92f3-96e6c136fedc" id="ae3232a9-c916-4367-92f3-96e6c136fedc-link">1</a></sup>.</p>



<p>Rae Hargreaves, the Head of Marketing of MX at Samsung South Africa says “South Africans know the hustle. We know the places we gather, the people we meet there and the moments that become stories we keep coming back to. The Galaxy Hangout brings those familiar rhythms of everyday life into an immersive experience built around the three distinct Galaxy Z8 Series form factors. Rather than asking visitors to compare specifications, Samsung invites them to discover where they belong to ultimately discover foldable belongs with them.”</p>



<p>The calendar of Samsung Galaxy Hangout stops in the Mother City’s favourite hangout spots this September is a follows:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Canal Walk – <strong>12 September</strong></li>



<li>Route Mall<strong> – 24- 27 September</strong></li>



<li>V&A Silo District <strong>– 16-17 September</strong></li>



<li>The Heritage Music Festival at Groote Schuur High School<strong> – 19 September</strong></li>



<li>Go Bright or go Home Picnic at The Castle of Good Hope<strong> – 26 September</strong></li>



<li>Down to Earth Market <strong>–</strong> <strong>30 September</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Step aboard the Galaxy Hangouts Bus and the experience unfolds across three distinct spaces, each inspired by a different foldable, its signature colour and the lifestyle persona it represents. Visitors can expect hands-on interactions, giving them the chance to see how the devices naturally fit into the way they live, work, create and connect.</p>



<p>The spaces are tailored to allow visitors to explore and see which Galaxy foldable best matches their persona, and each space offers a different glimpse into the possibilities of the Galaxy Z8 series.</p>



<p>And there will be plenty of opportunities to make the experience your own. Visitors can capture content, create moments with friends and put the foldables into action in ways that feel less like a product demonstration and more like a day out.</p>



<p>Whether you are a die-hard rugby supporter, a fan of the Samsung Galaxy Z8 Series, or just searching for a fun group activity on these dates, these hangouts are definitely worth a visit. The core concept behind the Galaxy Hangout is straightforward: there is a Galaxy foldable designed for every type of user.</p>



<p>So, grab your crew, bring your curiosity and come find out which Galaxy foldable is your kind of foldable. Whether you’re all about getting things done, creating and expressing yourself, or immersing yourself in the things you love, the Samsung Galaxy Z8 Series Hangout awaits.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced that it is expanding its flat design, previously available on select premium models, to its new 24-inch front-load washer line-up. The new models are currently on display at Samsung Connect, Samsung’s exhibition being held during Innovation For All (IFA) 2026 from 02 – 06 Sept; offering visitors an early look ahead of the official launch.<sup data-fn="66ea2bb1-d38f-4a29-a139-b8c0c5a28de4" class="fn"><a href="#66ea2bb1-d38f-4a29-a139-b8c0c5a28de4" id="66ea2bb1-d38f-4a29-a139-b8c0c5a28de4-link">1</a></sup></p>



<p>“Customers around the world increasingly expect home appliances to harmonise with their living environments,” said Vice President and Head of the Customer Experience Team of the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “By bringing our flat design to a wider range of laundry appliances, Samsung aims to deliver a consistent design experience that combines refined aesthetics with thoughtful usability.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Refined Flat Design Improves Interior Fit & Usability</strong></h2>



<p>Samsung’s expansion of its signature flat design to the new 24-inch front-load washer line-up marks the latest evolution of the company’s design approach across its home appliance portfolio. Compared to Samsung’s previous designs that featured more protruding front elements, the updated design offers a flat front surface with a more uniform appearance. This creates a cleaner, more sophisticated look that blends naturally into modern interiors and living environments.</p>



<p>Beyond aesthetics, the design also enhances everyday usability. The large door with a wide opening angle enables easier access when loading and unloading laundry, making the task more convenient. More broadly, the new line-up and the showcase during IFA reflect Samsung’s continued efforts to expand refined design experiences to more consumers and living spaces.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Features Designed for Everyday Laundry Needs</strong><strong></strong></h2>



<p>In addition to the redesigned exterior, the new line-up incorporates key laundry technologies previously available on select premium models, bringing advanced washing experiences to more consumers. The line-up features Bubble Shot<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, soaks the laundry by spraying water on it. This helps reduce wash time while maintaining effective cleaning performance,<sup data-fn="d2c762d6-dad1-4212-b5a9-07abafd7afa3" class="fn"><a href="#d2c762d6-dad1-4212-b5a9-07abafd7afa3" id="d2c762d6-dad1-4212-b5a9-07abafd7afa3-link">2</a></sup>providing a more convenient laundry experience for users.</p>



<p>The line-up also comes with Ecobubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology, which allows detergent to dissolve more quickly and distribute more evenly across fabrics – helping users save energy while washing clothes effectively, even at low temperatures.<sup data-fn="a9b1d4bb-c927-4077-a37f-157d8d4eab82" class="fn"><a href="#a9b1d4bb-c927-4077-a37f-157d8d4eab82" id="a9b1d4bb-c927-4077-a37f-157d8d4eab82-link">3</a></sup>By combining a refined exterior with advanced laundry technologies, Samsung’s new 24-inch washer line-up delivers a more intuitive laundry experience across diverse households. The company will continue to expand user-focused design approaches and technologies across its home appliance portfolio.<strong><br></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Exhibition Information</strong></h2>



<p>Samsung is showcasing its latest innovations at Samsung Connect, which is being held at Humboldt Carré in Berlin from Sept 02 – 06. The new 24-inch washer line-up is currently on display, allowing visitors to see the products’ refreshed design ahead of their official launch.</p>

<p>In line with the age-old proverb “Clothes make the man”, these items have become more than everyday essentials – from favourite outfits and premium fashion pieces to workwear and school uniforms. As consumers increasingly look for ways to make their clothing last longer without compromising on cleanliness, Samsung and OMO have once again partnered to deliver a smarter approach to laundry care.</p>



<p>Samsung’s EcoBubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology<sup data-fn="929af3fd-388f-4493-8d36-ce7a83d44324" class="fn"><a href="#929af3fd-388f-4493-8d36-ce7a83d44324" id="929af3fd-388f-4493-8d36-ce7a83d44324-link">1</a></sup> and OMO’s stain removal formula complement each other, delivering exceptional cleaning performance while treating fabrics with the care they deserve.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/08101714/Image-of-Bespoke-AI-Laundry-Combo-1000x563.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26065" /></figure>



<p>This technology transforms detergent into bubbles before the wash cycle begins, allowing the detergent to penetrate fabrics easily and clean effectively, even at lower water temperatures. This enables powerful stain removal while helping to minimise unnecessary stress on fabrics<sup data-fn="dddeae46-0fad-47d2-b3ea-e758a1ba056d" class="fn"><a href="#dddeae46-0fad-47d2-b3ea-e758a1ba056d" id="dddeae46-0fad-47d2-b3ea-e758a1ba056d-link">2</a></sup>.</p>



<p>Complementing this innovation is OMO’s Ecoboost technology, which gives breakthrough cleaning performance. Penetrating deep into the fibres of clothes to remove the toughest of stains.</p>



<p>As wardrobes continue to evolve into long-term investments, smarter laundry habits are becoming just as important as the clothes themselves. Repeated harsh washing can contribute to unnecessary fabric wear, shortening the lifespan of garments and increasing replacement costs. Choosing the right washing technology and detergent helps reduce this wear, keeping favourite clothing items looking newer for longer.</p>



<p>The Wash Days Powered by OMO campaign celebrates this shared commitment to smarter fabric care. By combining Samsung’s intelligent laundry innovation with OMO’s trusted cleaning expertise, consumers no longer need to choose between exceptional stain removal and gentle garment care.</p>
