<p>As South African households increasingly look for technology that makes everyday life simpler, more efficient and more connected, Samsung is inviting consumers to experience its future of smart living during its Blue Tag Sale<sup data-fn="7b70711d-f9e8-4f9d-82e6-bf36f679cde2" class="fn"><a href="#7b70711d-f9e8-4f9d-82e6-bf36f679cde2" id="7b70711d-f9e8-4f9d-82e6-bf36f679cde2-link">1</a></sup>, running from 17 August to 27 September 2026.</p>



<p>This year’s Blue Tag Sale allows consumers to discover how Samsung’s Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered ecosystem works together to create homes that are more intuitive and personalised. At the heart of this connected experience is SmartThings<sup data-fn="bbf3d7e2-1630-48fa-9eb4-0cf0d817f961" class="fn"><a href="#bbf3d7e2-1630-48fa-9eb4-0cf0d817f961" id="bbf3d7e2-1630-48fa-9eb4-0cf0d817f961-link">2</a></sup>, Samsung’s intelligent platform that seamlessly connects compatible devices, enabling users to monitor, manage and automate their homes from a single app.</p>

From refrigerators that help keep food fresher by optimising cooling performance, to artificially intelligent washing machines that automatically adjust wash settings<sup data-fn="1565d147-f7bf-4621-898e-e5349df16839" class="fn"><a href="#1565d147-f7bf-4621-898e-e5349df16839" id="1565d147-f7bf-4621-898e-e5349df16839-link">4</a></sup> based on each load, Samsung’s Bespoke AI range has been designed to simplify everyday living.
