Few moments bring South Africans together quite like rugby. From neighbourhood braais and packed living rooms to friends and family following every tackle wherever they are, the rugby season has a unique way of turning ordinary weekends into memorable shared experiences.

This rugby season, Samsung is helping fans elevate match day at home with its Blue Tag Sale, featuring exceptional offers across selected Mobile, Home Entertainment, Monitor and Home Appliance products.

Whether it’s watching every line break unfold on a supersized screen, hearing the roar of the crowd through powerful sound or keeping up with the conversation across connected Galaxy devices, Samsung technology is designed to bring supporters closer to every moment of the action.

Bring the Stadium Atmosphere Home

For supporters looking to upgrade their match-day experience, Samsung’s range of Vision AI TVs combines great picture quality with smart viewing technology¹, bringing everything from the intensity on players’ faces to the movement across the pitch into vivid focus. Paired with a Samsung Soundbar, the experience becomes even more immersive, delivering rich, room-filling audio that brings the whistles, anthems and roar of the crowd into the heart of the home.

The right technology can transform how fans experience the game. Larger screens bring greater detail to every try, tackle and replay, while powerful sound helps recreate the energy and atmosphere of being closer to the stadium.

Stay Connected to Every Moment

Match day is about more than the 80 minutes on the field. Samsung’s connected ecosystem helps fans stay part of the experience before, during and after the game. Supporters can catch pre-match analysis on a Galaxy Tab, keep an eye on match-day content from the Bespoke AI Family Hub while preparing snacks in the kitchen, settle in front of a Samsung Vision AI TV for kick-off, and capture and share their favourite reactions and celebrations on a Galaxy smartphone.

With Samsung’s connected ecosystem working seamlessly across devices, fans can spend less time thinking about the technology and more time enjoying the game and the people they share it with.

Samsung Newsroom took an inside look at the thorough quality tests that set Samsung home appliances apart.

Refrigerators: Durability and Temperature Consistency Throughout

The refrigerator is the most frequently used appliance in the kitchen. To ensure Samsung refrigerators operate in the most demanding conditions, the Door Slam Test simulates the act of opening and closing fridge doors tens of thousands of times depending on the model. During the process, engineers assess the hinges for sagging, listen for unusual noises and examine whether the doors continue to function smoothly under stress.

Tests are also carried out to evaluate proper performance throughout the four seasons. The Temperature Maintenance Test pushes refrigerators to their limits by replicating different seasonal weather conditions — from freezing winters to sweltering summer heat waves of over 40 degrees Celsius — making sure optimal cooling performance is maintained in challenging external environments.

Preserving the freshness of food ingredients, meanwhile, relies on maintaining a consistent internal temperature. Using thermocouples placed throughout the refrigerators and freezers to be tested, the Compartment Test (Notch Test) alters notch settings and simulates variations in humidity and temperature to check whether each product’s compartments and shelves are cooled evenly.

For refrigerator models equipped with automatic ice makers, the Ice-making Performance Test checks ice production capabilities and the quality of ice by varying water pressure, temperature and notch placement.

▲ The Door Slam Test (left) and the Water Protection Test (right)

Washing Machines: Ready To Thrive in Harsh Winters and Wet Environments

Washing machines are often installed in areas with lower temperatures or exposure to water, such as balconies or bathrooms. To make sure its products perform reliably under these conditions, Samsung conducts rigorous stress tests.

The Freezing Test evaluates the durability of Samsung washing machines in the winter by repeatedly exposing the appliances to temperatures as low as those in the Arctic and as high as those in scorching summers. Additionally, engineers carry out a Water Leakage Test to assess the washing machines’ resistance to leaks. They fill the drums with water, place the machines at tilted angles and monitor them for leaks over a period of 24 hours or more under varying humidity levels and different temperatures.

The Water Protection Test, on the other hand, checks whether the washing machines work properly in wet environments. High-pressure rotating nozzles spray water onto the appliances for extended periods of time, with engineers closely monitoring for water infiltration into electrical components or condensation issues caused by humidity.

Kitchen Appliances: Designed With Product Lifespans in Mind

▲ The Durability Test (left) and the Basket In and Out Test (right)

The lifespans of Samsung electric cooktops under real-world conditions can be estimated through the Durability Test. In this simulation, engineers test the durability of dozens of cooktops over several months by repeatedly heating and cooling standard containers on them while the containers are automatically refilled with water.

Samsung dishwashers undergo the Basket In and Out Test to be checked for any defects in their rollers.  Engineers purposefully overload the dishwashers’ baskets beyond standard capacity and slide them in and out tens of thousands of times to ensure the quality of their rollers, rails and nozzles.

Every Samsung home appliance is built with one ultimate goal — to give users peace of mind, even in unexpected moments. Samsung will continue strengthening quality control and inspection across its product lines in constant pursuit of unprecedented levels of safety and durability.

Running from 20 October 2024 to 12 January 2025, this year’s promotion invites customers to dream bigger, live better, and experience more.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 6 January 2023 – Ahead of CES® 2023, Samsung Electronics today unveiled the newest additions to its customizable Bespoke Home lineup. Samsung’s latest home appliances and services were designed to meet a growing demand for customization and provide a new level of intelligent connectivity that empowers users to be more sustainable in the kitchen. Including a wider selection of Bespoke refrigerator types, a bigger and more immersive 32-inch screen for the Bespoke 4-Door Flex with Family Hub+ and advanced AI Pro Cooking for the Bespoke AI Oven that optimizes and assists in preparing meals, the Samsung-powered kitchen is becoming a smarter, more versatile and more interactive space than ever.

“At CES 2023, we are continuing to build on the success of our Bespoke lineup with the introduction of new Bespoke refrigerators and built-in appliances that give consumers even more ways to express themselves in their kitchens,” said Junhwa Lee, EVP and Head of the Customer Experience Team of the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “Our goal is to maximize the freedom customers have to pursue personalization and productivity in their kitchens, with new features enhanced with everything from large, responsive screens on our refrigerators to AI-powered cooking assistance. These latest features and products go beyond simply helping users in the kitchen and allow them to truly express themselves through the power of customization for more enjoyable experiences. Furthermore, with the latest kitchen innovations and customizable designs, these new appliances work seamlessly with SmartThings services to provide unmatched convenience and savings at home.”

Bespoke 4-Door Flex With Family Hub+ Brings Bigger Display and Better Connectivity

The new Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with Family Hub+ introduces powerful Family Hub features to a 4-door Bespoke design, combining an all-in-one communication and entertainment hub with an impressively large display.

The Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with Family Hub+’s dynamic features are showcased on its 32-inch, bezel-less FHD screen that is nearly two times larger than that of previous models. In addition, the new larger dashboard takes advantage of the bigger screen, allowing users to conveniently experience SmartThings services as well as monitor and control their compatible home appliances.

The refrigerator also features new Family Hub software. Samsung TV Plus now offers more than 190 free channels, while Google Photos integration transforms the platform into a digital photo frame that makes it easy to share and display photos. Thanks to the larger screen space and Samsung TV Plus’s new picture-in-picture (PIP) feature, users can catch up on their favorite TV shows while checking and monitoring the status of other kitchen appliances while keeping an eye on what they are cooking at the same time.

The Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with Family Hub+ is set to launch in North America and Korea in the first half of 2023. In addition, a Family Hub software update will roll out to all markets where Family Hub refrigerators are sold in 2023. This includes Korea, the U.S., East and West Asia, Latin America and Europe.

Bespoke Expands To Include Popular Side-By-Side and Top-Mounted Freezer Refrigerator Models To Provide Even More Customization in the Kitchen

In keeping with the Bespoke design aesthetic, the Bespoke Side-by-Side refrigerator features a flat, minimalist design with a customizable front panel available in both glass and stainless-steel finishes. Users have the option to choose from a wide range of door colors and finishes to harmonize their refrigerator with their home décor. The fridge’s sleek design is completed by Auto Open Door, featuring a recessed handle for a streamlined design and easy opening via a tap that releases the door.

Inside, the Bespoke Side-by-Side Refrigerator features the latest in food storage and cooling technologies. The internal Beverage Center provides easy access to the Plumbing Water Dispenser and AutoFill Water Pitcher with Infuser, providing you with cold or naturally flavored water at any time. Meanwhile, the Dual Auto Ice Maker is always ready to chill users’ drinks with Cubed Ice or Ice Bites.

Like the Bespoke Side-by-Side Refrigerator, the Bespoke Top-Mounted Freezer Refrigerator is available in stylish colors that seamlessly blend with contemporary kitchen interiors. Inside, Samsung’s Optimal Fresh Zone+ and Active Fresh Filter keep food fresh for long while eliminating 99.99% of bacteria.

The Bespoke Side-by-Side Refrigerator will be available in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2023, while the Bespoke Top-Mounted Freezer Refrigerator will be available first in Thailand in March 2023 and will be subsequently launched globally.

Prepare Healthy Meals Like a Master Chef With the Bespoke AI Oven

The Bespoke AI Oven makes meal prep a breeze, combining powerful intelligence with innovative cooking technologies to produce delicious meals that cater to users’ dietary preferences.

AI Pro Cooking optimizes cooking settings while monitoring food. If the oven is set to cook a recognized dish using the cooking mode, temperature and time the oven recommends, the AI Pro Cooking system will even send users food warning notifications to prevent burning. Using an internal camera and powerful AI, the oven’s Sense Inside feature — the first food recognition and burn detection AI algorithm of its kind to receive an AI cooking appliance verification by UL Solutions — can recommend cooking settings by recognizing 80 different dishes and ingredients.

Whether users are testing a healthy recipe or looking to elevate everyday recipes at home, the Bespoke AI Oven makes mealtimes more convenient. Integration with SmartThings Cooking and Samsung Health allows the Bespoke AI Oven to analyze users’ workout stats and diet goals to recommend meal options based on the ingredients they have at home.

Topping off the Bespoke AI Oven’s modern, clutter-free design is its convenient Push to Open Door, which replaces a traditional handle for a simpler and more streamlined look. Available in five elegant and modern design options, the Bespoke AI Oven is currently available in Europe and will launch in North America in the third quarter of 2023.

Samsung’s latest Bespoke home appliances take the smart kitchen to the next level by powering more personalized cooking experiences and making it easier for households to save energy. To learn more about the latest additions to the Bespoke lineup, please visit Samsung.com.

Viewers are then asked to take a selfie with their creation, post it to Twitter and tag the show using #IsditProefessioneel and the handle @SamsungSA. Each week the winning viewer will receive the all new Samsung Galaxy S8 handset.

To cook like Reuben, viewers are urged to use cutting-edge appliances from headline sponsor Samsung SA, which blend effortlessly with everyday life. The Samsung HotBlast^TM microwave that is featured on the show, is an exceptional technological advancement which introduces South Africans to a new level of cooking and convenience. It produces food that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, within minutes. It also grills, roasts, reheats pizza perfectly and prepares crispy, slim-fried dishes with virtually no oil, and all of this within record time. The new, wider grill allows for even browning, while the oven’s large turntable accommodates bigger plates.

The Samsung DeX, another product featured, is the ideal cooking partner. Dock your Samsung smartphone in the sleek desktop device and using a separate keyboard and screen, search for superb recipes and garnishing ideas that are sure to impress your guests. Ingredients for these recipes can be kept perfectly fresh in the elegant Samsung Flexzone^TM refrigerator which sports easy access French doors. After cleaning up spills and splashes in the kitchen, Samsung’s AddWash^TM washing machine with Eco Bubble technology quickly activates the detergent to permeate your apron and dishcloths for a deeper clean.

“A kitchen is really only as good as its appliances. Therefore, a partnership between Samsung and ‘Proefessioneel’ made perfect sense to us. Through this show, we engage with consumers by highlighting how Samsung home appliances blend into your life, allowing you the time to focus on what really matters,” says Justin Hume, Chief Marketing Officer, Samsung SA.

“Thought-through functionality and premium design, based on a mix of analogue and digital technology in home appliances, make family life more convenient. By sponsoring ‘Proefessioneel’, Samsung showcases how our versatile product range transforms even the most mundane meal into international chef de cuisine standards,” concludes Hume.
