Samsung Brought Their A-Game!
Though Samsung’s AI companion, Ballie, received major upgrades, the new range of 4K and 8K TVs piqued our interest most! These stunning screens are equipped with proprietary image processing technologies and deliver unparalleled picture quality. Features like Active Voice Amplifier Pro for better accessibility and a more transparent and sustainable environmental strategy round out the TV updates. This is great for companies wanting to improve meeting spaces with better video or reduce their carbon footprint.
Samsung's integration with Tesla products via its SmartThings Energy service is a significant development in energy management. It allows for a more cohesive and efficient control of your home's energy consumption, so stay tuned for updates on that front.
And we can’t forget the new Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with AI Family Hub+! Yes, even your fridge can make your life more convenient, bringing the concept of a smart kitchen to life. Its ability to recognize and manage inventory saves time and makes your daily routines more efficient.
