Experts Explain How Samsung Optimized QLED TVs for Next-Level Gaming

Since introducing Auto Game Mode to its TVs back in 2018, Samsung has made delivering next-level gaming experiences a key priority for TV development. Today, the fruits of the company’s considerable efforts include three consecutive ‘Best of Innovation’ nods in the gaming category of CES’s annual Innovation Awards.

Samsung’s latest QLED TVs build on that award-winning heritage by offering users their most immersive and enjoyable TV gaming experiences yet. To learn more about how QLED TVs are changing the game in this regard, Samsung Newsroom sat down with the product planners and developers who helped bring the displays to life.

More Immersion, Less Distractions

When it comes to fostering immersive gaming, one of the most important factors, the team explained, is what’s known as input lag – or the amount of time between the moment a command is entered on a controller and the moment it’s registered on the screen. The shorter the input lag is, the more immersive the gameplay becomes.

“Input lag is determined by how quickly image signal can be processed and displayed on the screen,” said product planner Jessica BeomEun Kim. Samsung’s team was able to minimize QLED TV’s input lag, Kim continued, “by enhancing the way the TV processes image signal, which consequently reduces video processing time.”

On QLED TVs, racing games – known for being graphics heavy, and for boasting lightning-fast gameplay – run smoothly, without screen freezes or delays. As developer Youngho Jung explained, FreeSync™ Premium, a technology that eliminates screen tearing and stuttering enabled this ability to seamlessly manage graphics-heavy games. Also, Game Motion Plus, which minimizes motion blur and halo effects helps smoother gameplay. “We prevented the screen from becoming distorted by syncing the performance of the graphics card with the output of the display,” said Jung.

Spotting enemies and objects in the dark is easy with QLED TV’s built-in Dynamic Black Equalizer. This innovative technology utilizes the TV’s AI Quantum Processor to enhance image quality in real time by analyzing a game’s dark scenes and detecting objects within them. It then optimizes black levels to help you see things that weren’t so clear before.

Gaming-Specific Features

QLED TVs also include a number of built-in gaming-specific features that make it easier for gamers to immerse themselves in the action.

Take for instance Multi View, a screen-splitting function that allows users to simultaneously game on one side of their screen and mirror videos from their phone on the other. The ability to game and watch a favorite streamer on a single screen eliminates the inconvenience of having to switch back and forth from focusing on your TV to focusing on your phone. The function can even detect when your phone has switched to landscape mode, and reflects this adjustment in real time.

Auto Game Mode is another clever built-in function that enables QLED TVs to automatically analyze connected devices and optimize settings accordingly. All you have to do is simply connect your console to your TV, and a “game mode is turned on” message will automatically pop up on your screen. The idea behind including this notification, Kim explained, was to emphasize that the TVs “transform into a gaming device the moment they’re connected to a console.”

Sound is another critical element that can make or break your gaming experience. Not only can realistic audio make games more fun, it can also mean the difference between victory and defeat. To allow users to enjoy the most realistic sound experience possible, Samsung packed its newest QLED TVs with a total of six speakers – two more than previous models. Built-in Object Tracking Sound (OTS) technology enhances gamers’ immersion by allowing them to sense where sounds are coming from and how far away they are.

QLED TV + Gaming: A Winning Combination

Once a simple display, the TV has evolved into the center of home entertainment, and a hub for users to engage in a wide range of fun and interactive experiences. As Software engineer Sungchang Jang, explained, the team went to great lengths to ensure that Samsung’s 2020 QLED TVs would offer gamers the most entertaining experiences imaginable.

“It was crucial that our 2020 QLED TVs would be able to work perfectly with any gaming devices that consumers might use,” said Jang. “This required us to develop entirely new technology. We had to test each and every gaming device we could find individually in order to ensure that they worked well with the TV. There was a lot of trial and error, but in the end, thanks to our team’s tremendous efforts, we managed to pull it off.”

To get a better sense of the kinds of features gamers want in a TV, the product planning team used MOSAIC, Samsung’s company-wide intelligence platform, to source suggestions from some 15,000 Samsung employees.

Looking ahead, the team members believe that TVs will continue to serve as the center of home entertainment, and will be recognized as bona fide gaming devices. “Going forward,” added the product planner Hyun Mook Choi, “we’ll continue to enhance our TVs’ gaming features, to offer gamers the most complete and satisfying gaming experience possible.”

Shopee-ing For Mooncakes, Supporting NKF

Following their success in the previous years, the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia (NKF) is joining forces with Oversea Group of Companies once again for their annual mooncake charity project to raise funds for NKF’s underprivileged kidney failure patients.

In addition to this year’s project, NKF embraces the New Normal with full force – adhering to social distancing and public health guidelines by collaborating with Shopee for the charitable act. Malaysians can now support the fundraising effort by purchasing NKF mooncakes on Shopee.

From 15 July until 30 September 2020, Malaysians can visit the NKF Malaysia official store on Shopee to purchase the NKF mooncakes with assurance that all proceeds will be donated directly to NKF Malaysia.

The Mooncakes are 100% halal certified and come in two available sets:

Set A:
 This box includes a normal 4-piece set of mooncakes; Lotus Paste 1 Yolk, Assorted Fruits & Nuts, Red Bean and Shanghai Mooncake 1 Yolk for RM 68 per box.

Set B:
 This box includes a normal 4-piece set of mooncakes; Green Tea with Red Bean (Green Tea Lotus Paste & Red Bean), Royal Fairy 1 Yolk (Lotus Paste & Mung Bean), Golden Starlight 1 Yolk (Pandan Lotus Paste & Mung Bean) and Cherry Blossom 1 Yolk (Sakura Flower Lotus Paste) for RM 68 per box.

“NKF is doing its best to provide subsidised dialysis treatments for the 1,712 kidney failure patients at our 27 dialysis centres nationwide besides funding for our constant efforts to educate the public on early prevention and management of kidney diseases. This annual mooncake charity project is part of our fundraising initiatives in order to support our ongoing mission for over 30 years and we truly appreciate the support and generosity of Shopee and its users,” said Mr. Chua Hong Wee, Chief Executive Officer of NKF Malaysia.

Ian Ho, Regional Managing Director of Shopee said, “We are humbled to be part of this meaningful cause, working alongside the National Kidney Foundation as they ramp up their efforts in helping kidney failure patients in their dialysis treatment. Besides the physical pain, they also have to combat the mental and emotional stress. With our technology, we will be able to reach out to many Malaysians out there and bring awareness about this campaign to further encourage more purchases of the mooncakes. Through this partnership, we hope to be able to lighten the burden and worries of the patients as the funds raised will help in their treatment, thereby giving them peace of mind.”

#SpreadTheLoves Campaign Successfully Raised Funds

While unable to provide huge monetary assistance to frontliners who work hard battling the Covid19 outbreak, three startups – Wise Crafters, 50gram and Mr. Speedy decided to collaborate to launch their #SpreadTheLoves campaign. The campaign has successfully raised enough funds to provide 8,000 bottles of 500ml of drinking water for Covid19 patients who were currently hospitalised at Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL). According to Ridzoni Sulaiman, Head of Dietetic & Food Services, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Covid19 patients are not allowed to use cups or mugs to drink, hence making water bottle contribution extremely crucial as one patient requires 3 bottles of water per day during hospitalisation.

The #SpreadTheLoves campaign promoted customised care packages of healthy food by Wise Crafters while beautifully decorated with flowers by 50gram that was made available for online order for a limited time (from 27th May to 15th June 2020)  with 70%  of the revenues used to purchase the water bottles. The same #SpreadTheLoves packages (350 bundles) were also delivered by MrSpeedy to frontliners at HKL as a sign of gratitude to boost morale during this testing time.

“#SpreadTheLoves campaign was inspired by our client who requested customised healthy care-pack orders for their nationwide employees in this challenging time which has made us believe gift giving could help bridge the physical and emotional distance people are having right now,”
Samantha Ng, Founder of Wise Crafters
 explained. “It’s not about how much we give but how much love we put into giving. We believe that a kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal, especially during this difficult time.” she added.

According to Samantha, the clean-eating community used to be a niche market in Malaysia and thus, the customer acquisition cost was very high. During the MCO, Wise Crafters were overwhelmed with joy when they found the number of healthy meals subscribers increased tremendously by 60%. This growth has proven that they are offering the right value to their customers and people see the need for a change in healthy eating habits. Wise Crafters saw this as an opportunity to launch their mission, which is to help every Malaysian to obtain at least one healthy meal per day. Therefore, Wise Crafters initiated this #SpreadTheLoves campaign to create more awareness in promoting healthy eating habits.

“We strongly believe gratitude is a powerful emotion that can change one’s life in a positive light. Which is why we are on a mission to help people express theirs in the simplest way. 50gram is happy to join this charity project because we see this as a good sign of showing gratitude to their families and friends,” said
Spring Wong, Founder of 50gram
.

During the pandemic, Wong launched his digital marketing masterclass and selflessly shared his years of knowledge and experience from 50gram to help other small businesses that were badly affected by Covid19. Within a month, they garnered over 2000 members. Wong who is also a Digital Marketing Strategist at iPrima, a digital marketing service provider in Malaysia and Singapore, aims to train 500 students to become digital marketing professionals that can help transform Malaysian SMEs moving forward post the Movement Control Order (MCO).

MrSpeedy, another startup that specialises in same-day delivery service has also played a big role to assist businesses and e-commerce players with appealing delivery rates that resulted in savings to up to RM300,000 compared to their competitors. “As one of the frontliner organizations ourselves, we understand the challenges faced from COVID-19 pandemic and we would like to take this opportunity to play our part in the fight to help our country for a speedy recovery,” said
Chun Hean Goh, Country Manager of Mr Speedy
.

As many have lost their jobs due to the outbreak and the increase in opportunities in the delivery service industry, MrSpeedy also registered almost 20,000 new riders and drivers since MCO was first announced.

This pandemic period has left an enormous impact on how people consume, work and even socialise. These 3 startups also hoped to see more startups playing their part in helping the nation recover from Covid19 and its economic and social impact to the public.

YouTube Gets New Optimization for the Galaxy Z Flip

Galaxy users have long enjoyed integration for Google’s app ecosystem, and now that optimization is coming to YouTube and the Galaxy Z Flip. Samsung and Google reached a new level in their collaborative efforts to bring a fresh user experience design that fits the innovative form factor of the Galaxy Z Flip. It’s the latest development to come out of a long and fruitful relationship between the two companies.

“For the past 10 years, the Samsung-Google partnership has been the driving force behind so many of this industry’s most important innovations,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics at Galaxy Unpacked 2020. “Now, as we start a new decade, our partnership is more important than ever, as we work together to pioneer a new generation of breakthrough mobile experiences.”

The recent updates for YouTube are just one milestone in the developments the two companies have brought to Samsung’s flagship and foldable devices. Thanks to the partnership, Galaxy users get an optimized experience for the most popular Google apps, such as Google Maps and Google Play Store, and enjoy greater reliability, app continuity, and security. Last year, Samsung and Google ushered in a new mobile era by creating a seamless foldable experience for the Galaxy Fold. Here is a closer look at some of the latest ways Samsung and Google are delivering a more valuable Android experience on Galaxy devices.

A New Experience for YouTube with Flex Mode

With Galaxy Z Flip’s unique folding system, you can set your Galaxy Z Flip on the table and watch your favorite YouTube channel hands-free. And now, this hands-free experience is taken up to the next level with Flex mode compatibility. When you enjoy YouTube with your Galaxy Z Flip hands-free, the display evenly splits into two 4-inch screens. While watching a video on the top half of the display, you can use the bottom half to search for other videos, read descriptions and write comments with no distractions.

The Flex mode-optimized YouTube app also ensures that no matter what the aspect ratio of the video you are watching, you can view in comfort by adjusting the way the video fits in the top half of the screen. Square and vertical videos will nearly fill the entire space, while 16:9 videos will adjust to the center. But Flex mode compatibility with YouTube was more than just a simple user experience upgrade.

Working together, Samsung and Google’s engineers redesigned the app from the operating system level. This included integration of the Android Support Library, making it easier to bring Flex mode to more third-party services. Through the collaboration, Samsung has worked closely with the Android developer community to drive innovation for foldable devices. Galaxy Z Flip users can download the Flex mode-optimized YouTube app from the Google Play Store starting from April 22
1
 and enjoy the enhanced features that come with the latest update.

Galaxy users can also get up to 4 months of free YouTube Premium and enjoy benefits such as ad-free viewing, offline play, and background play.

The Best Features Coming to Galaxy Devices

To start, Samsung is bringing support for Google’s Rich Communication Services (RCS) to Galaxy smartphones to make your conversations more seamless.

 The two companies have been working since 2018 to bring the features to Samsung devices.

The Samsung Messages app with RCS allows users to do more, including chat over both Wi-Fi and mobile data, send and receive high-resolution photos and videos, receive read receipts, and create feature-rich group chats. The Messages app is also available on desktop, making it easy to transition seamlessly from mobile to PC.

In addition to the RCS integration, Samsung kicked off 2020 by offering out-of-the-box integration for Google Duo on both the Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy Z Flip. Not only does Google Duo offer high-quality, high-speed video calling, it also allows up to 12 people to join a single video conference. On the Galaxy Z Flip, users can enjoy the app in Flex mode, where video chats appear on the top half, while call controls appear on the bottom half. Collaborations with Google are also bringing more interesting features to Galaxy devices.

With the ability to transcribe and caption media in real-time with incredible accuracy, Live Caption is one of the most exciting features on the Galaxy S20. Leveraging Google’s AI, Live Caption can produce captions for any audio or visual content, including YouTube videos, podcasts, and videos you and your friends have recorded. Developed in collaboration with the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, Live Caption is particularly helpful if you have hearing loss or are in an environment in which you don’t want to increase the volume. Users can toggle the feature on under either the Accessibility or Sound options in the device’s Settings menu.

As a result of the ongoing partnership with Google, Samsung is bringing monthly and quarterly security updates to Galaxy devices to further enhance user confidence and ensure the safety and security of their data. These include Google’s patches for Android, and Samsung’s patches for vulnerabilities and exposures.

“It’s been amazing to see Samsung continuously push the limits of what’s possible in mobile on the Android platform,” said Hiroshi Lockheimer at Galaxy Unpacked 2020, SVP of Platforms and Ecosystems at Google. “Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue to work together to build the next wave of helpful, mobile innovation.”

In the year ahead, Samsung will continue to work closely with Google to pioneer the next wave of mobile innovations that will change the way we communicate with the world.

The Galaxy Z Flip is available at a recommended retail price of RM5,888 and comes in Mirror Purple, Mirror Gold and Mirror Black colours to suit your personal style. For more information, please visit:

LG Refrigerators Applauded Across Europe Thanks to Cutting-Edge Compressor

LG Electronics (LG) has been raking in rave reviews from numerous popular European consumer magazines for its latest premium refrigerators. While trying to point consumers looking for new kitchen companions in the right direction, some of Europe’s biggest consumer tech media outlets have heaped praise on the company’s fridges that employ LG Inverter Linear Compressor, ranking many of them first across multiple categories.

LG bottom-freezer (GBB92STAXP) stands alone as the only refrigerator to hold a five star rating with Les Numeriques, a French website providing potential buyers with reviews and information on the latest technology, the site awarding its highest scores across several categories including user-convenience, freezing performance and energy consumption. Altroconsumo (Italy), Which? (U.K.), Consumentenbond (Netherland), Pro-Test (Poland), OCU (Spain), Deco Proteste (Portugal), Test Aankoop (Belgium), Rad & Ron (Sweden) and Kuluttaja (Finland) also put the company’s bottom-freezer on top after conducting their own in-depth performance tests.

The company’s 458 Liter-capacity Slim Multi-Door refrigerator (GMQ844MCKV) was selected best Multi-Door and Side-by-Side refrigerator by Italy’s Altroconsumo, scoring particularly well for its cooling speed, temperature maintenance and energy efficiency. The LG Side-by-Side refrigerator fared just as well, as it was named best refrigerator by Spain’s OCU and Portugal’s Deco Proteste.

Behind this global recognition lies the refrigerators’ powerhouse, LG Inverter Linear Compressor. Raising the bar for advanced appliances, this compressor converts linear motion into cooling power more efficiently than conventional rotary compressors, thereby reducing energy consumption

 to the delight of Europeans living in regions enforcing strict energy regulations. Through inverter technology, the compressor can flexibly change speed as necessary unlike constant-speed motors, and allows the company’s fridges to produce as much cold air as needed to maintain perfect constant temperatures.

Staying true to LG’s reputation for innovation, InstaView Door-in-Door™ technology gives a whole new meaning to user convenience. With two quick knocks of the fridge’s front panel, LG InstaView eliminates any unnecessary opening of the door by illuminating the contents inside, while the Door-in-Door feature gives owners swift and easy access to their most-used ingredients and favorite cold beverages.

LG’s New GX Soundbar Delivers Superior Sound

LG Electronics (LG) today announced its newest soundbar designed to deliver an exceptional home entertainment experience as well as a new level of spatial and stylistic integration with the company’s premium TVs. The LG GX soundbar boasts excellent sound, advanced features and sophisticated aesthetics designed to complement LG’s award-winning
GX Gallery OLED Series TVs
.

The GX soundbar is the perfect visual companion to LG’s artistically-inspired Gallery series OLED TVs. To offer maximum flexibility, the soundbar can be mounted either flush on the wall directly under the TV or supported using the included sturdy steel stand. Measuring 15H x 144.6W x 3.25D cm, the GX soundbar is identical in width and finish to the 65-inch LG GX Gallery series TV. At the core of LG’s gallery design is the philosophy of a complete TV system that can fit harmoniously within a given space – a concept LG’s designers refer to as “adding spatial value.”

LG GX soundbar delivers superior sound thanks to Dolby Atmos and DTX:S for remarkable three-dimensional audio. The speaker is Dolby Vision compatible via 4K pass-through, enabling the best possible picture and sound quality for truly cinematic home viewing. The included subwoofer connects wirelessly to the soundbar to deliver low-frequency bass from anywhere in the room and adding LG’s wireless rear speaker kit (model SPK8, sold separately) delivers even more power and a greater sense of immersion.

The soundbar delivers upgraded user convenience and easy connectivity options including enhanced audio return channel (eARC) and Bluetooth. With its higher bandwidth, eARC provides the full richness of high-resolution audio formats such as Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio while Bluetooth facilitates effortless, ultra quality streaming from a smartphone or tablet.

What’s more, the LG GX soundbar is Hi-Res Audio certified, offering lossless playback at 24bit/96kHz with greater vibrancy and nuance. The speaker produces detailed, natural sound when playing high-resolution audio files or when up-converting conventional audio formats. The built-in LG AI Sound Pro feature analyzes and automatically applies the best sound settings regardless of the content, ensuring maximum listening enjoyment every time.

Returning Back to Work? Start Preparing the Workplace with These 6 Easy Guidelines

In an unprecedented turn of events, most of us have spent nearly a quarter of 2020 working from home. However, with the number of positive COVID-19 cases steadily declining in Malaysia, many of us are gearing up to go back to work or are at the office already. If you are working with a team of people coming from different locations and using different modes of transport, social distancing and good personal hygiene are things you may want to observe.

To ensure that the numbers remain low, The Ministry of Health has issued guidelines for employers to bear in mind as they welcome their teams back to the office and are encouraging businesses to adhere to these regulations to ensure the safety of their employees.

The guideline includes tips on effectively managing conferences, maintaining social distancing in the office and ensuring hygiene within the work place. If you are an employer or just concerned about the well-being of your co-workers, here’s a guide from 3M Malaysia you can follow to reduce exposure risk and ensure a healthy working environment for all.

Spring clean the office (And then do it again)

If your office has been empty for the better part of the Movement Control Order, you will want to start preparing the space by giving it an extremely good scrub. Start with the ceiling, then move to the floors and wipe down all the exposed surfaces. This should be followed by using disinfectant spray on all items especially high-touch areas such as chairs, tables, coffee machines, water filter, etc.

An important tip to remember here is to give a call to the office maintainance team and have the air conditioning vents cleaned out as well. Since most enclosed spaces circulate stale air, the least you can do it to ensure that vents are cleaned out and ready to trap any additional dust. This will also prevent dust related allergies and false paranoia associated with contracting the flu.

Stock the workplace with basic cleaning equipment

Once your workplace is clean and shiny again, stock up on some basic cleaning equipment that can be used by co-workers to keep their workstations clean before and after use. This can include versatile items like the 3M™ Disinfectant Cleaner that can be used to wipe down hard, non-porous surfaces as well as floors. You can easily transfer the cleaning liquid to a spray bottle and have it handy for use. Keeping a 3M™ Floor Mop and Cleaning Pad is also something that can be considered.

For employees who use public transport, they can use the mop to swiftly wipe down the area around their workstations to reduce exposure risk. If your workspace includes a pantry or cafeteria, stock up on basic 3M™ Scotch-Brite™ Scourers and Cleaning Cloths so that the dining area can be wiped down after each use.

A key tip here would be to keep the cloths and scourers dry after each use to avoid bacterial growth in a confined space. This can be easily maintained with the 3M™ Scotch-Brite™ Easy Grip Scourer that comes with a holder to keep the scourer dry and clean. Inculcating small habits as such will not only give those around you the peace of mind, but will also be beneficial on the long run in keeping the hygiene at the workplace in check.

Communicate effectively with colourful signages

As we enter the new normal, we will also see a new set of rules and regulations emerge, especially those related to public health and safety. This may seem banal, but there’s nothing a little creative communications can’t fix. Instead of sending out one email blast that might reside in your colleague’s inbox for eons, create signages that can be put around the workspace which can also double up as décor.

You can leverage long lasting graphic ready materials from 3M’s vast collection such as 3M™ Scotchcal™ Print Films and Overlaminate Films to create effective signages to communicate with your co-workers.

Additional tip: In a recent announcement made by 3M, the science company has collaborated with HP to share free-of-charge large-format graphics for commercial signage applications that are crucial to communicate social distancing and health and safety messages as public spaces, workplaces and businesses reopen amid the continued COVID-19 pandemic.

The 3M Graphics COVID-19 Related Signage library for HP is a free, online resource providing templates, design elements and poster artwork created to communicate guidance on social distancing and signage for wayfinding, in addition to signage for public health awareness. More information about suggested uses as well as recommended 3M print materials, can be accessed at the
HP Applications Center
.

Prepare the office for social distancing

Never liked that spare bookshelf blocking your view? Now is the time you can embark on some office redesigning initiatives and see how you can make the office functional while adhering to social distancing regulations. Start by re-arranging desks at adequately safe distances and installing temporary physical barriers around desk areas such as book shelves or potted plants.

As more and more meetings move to a virtual platform, you can also choose to move some desks to a conference room. Now that more meetings are taking place virtually, it is also advisable to reduce the occupancy of the conference room. If you are working in an organisation that has a larger team, you can consider installing one way walkways to reduce exposure risk.

Partner with a local caterer to have ready to eat meals in the office

Along with personal hygiene, strengthening your immune system is also key as we ride out the pandemic. Instead of filling the cafeteria with instant noodles and snacks cooked in refined oil, partner with a local food caterer who can supply packed meals to the office so that employees can enjoy healthier meals while at work.

Not only will this reduce risk of exposure, as employees don’t need to walk out of the office during lunch hours, it will create room for office lunch hour bonding sessions while supporting local businesses to get on their feet again.

However, be sure to implement social distancing. You can also stock the pantry with nuts, energy bars and fresh fruits so employees have healthier munchies on standby, all of which are great natural immunity boosters.

Check-in on employee well-being and engagement

While we strive to keep the workplace clean, this period also calls for us to be more attentive towards each others mental health. Always encourage your employees to take better care of themselves, both physically and mentally. As we all try to adapt to the new normal, many among us might be struggling to keep up with the changing norms.

Create room for regular employee engagement sessions, such as one-on-one chats, group workouts that follow social distancing rules, an office game or movie nights that give employees a chance to break out of the regular routine and engage in other fun activites.

At 3M Malaysia for instance, Country Leader G.T. Lim organises a ‘Coffee with G.T.’ session where he interacts with employees on a regular basis to discuss any challenges that they face while actively engaging with the team. Watching out for each other as we navigate through a new landscape, will lead to better bonding and understanding between teams.

We hope that armed with these guidelines, we can all return back to safe, healthier and happier working environments.


Samsung Family Hub Introduces a Whole New Way of Convenient, Connected Living

Some say that the kitchen is the heart of every household, as it acts as the very difference-maker between just a “place to stay” and a home. It is where every layman’s day begins and the more familiar and comfortable you are in it, the more at home you’ll feel. Hence the saying,
“Everything happens in the kitchen, which is where life begins.”

Zoom into its finer details, the refrigerator is arguably the kitchen’s most important piece of equipment. Think about it: Where do we store the items that sustain our very lives? The refrigerator. What do we do when we are bored or restless at home? Most of us would probably look into the refrigerator with hopes of looking for something exciting.

Recognizing this crucial fact, Samsung has introduced many innovations in refrigerators, including the new Side by Side Family Hub – which not only enhances the kitchen, but our life as well. It brings us a smarter way to plan grocery shopping, plan and prepare meals, share notes, sync family schedules, and even stream our favorite music or movies!

The Smartest Refrigerator Your Family Has Seen

The Samsung Family Hub refrigerator, carefully engineered to enhance homes and lives to their fullest potentials, features many innovations that were specially created to make life easier.

For one, it helps users prepare and plan meals by allowing them to see what’s in the fridge anytime, anywhere. Imagine walking through a mall and deciding to do some last-minute grocery shopping. Need a checklist of what’s currently in your fridge so you don’t overstock an ingredient? Simply access the ‘
View Inside
’ feature available both on Family Hub and your Samsung phone through Family Hub app, and the fridge’s internal camera will show you what you currently have! With this, creating shopping lists, food plans, or purchase reminders are easier than ever.

Apart from that, The Samsung Family Hub refrigerator is able to intelligently propose delicious recipes and even provide simple meal preparation instructions, based on what food you like and have in your fridge! With its
Recipes & Meal Planner
 feature, you can now shift more of your focus away from planning meals, to more important things – like quality time with your family.
