Said Mr Sam Odhiambo, head of consumer Electronics at Samsung Electronics East Africa.
The Samsung and Tilisi Views luxury experience show house is a seamless and intuitive connected experience that became possible by combining Bespoke appliances’ hyper-connectivity with SmartThings’ automation. The interactive show house demonstrated how Samsung’s updated lineup of SmartThings services which include SmartThings Cooking, Clothing Care, AI Energy, and Home Care streamlined user routines by making everyday tasks more convenient. The event was an opportunity for Samsung to educate customers on the products new features, how to maximize their use as well as how to integrate them with other home appliances. This was done through a gorgeous home display where the attendees experienced the different settings of how the products integrate with their home settings.
In particular, it outlined how SmartThings’ energy-saving solutions help users manage their energy usage and reduce their carbon footprint and energy bills. This includes providing up to 15% more savings for compatible refrigerators, up to 70% for compatible washers for courses operating in AI Energy Mode with the Ecobubble washing machine.
The highlight of the event was Samsung’s latest suite of Neo QLED 8K and 4K televisions which provide consumers with premium options that suit every need. Being the leading TV brand for 17 consecutive years, the Neo QLED picture quality is powered by Samsung’s advanced Neural Quantum Processor, which supports the Quantum Mini LED-lit TV with 14-bit processing and AI upscaling, enabling features such as Shape Adaptive Light Control and Real Depth Enhancer Pro for a three-dimensional, lifelike picture . Samsung’s 2023 Neo QLEDs also go beyond just a clear picture, with a high-resolution panel and Samsung’s proprietary algorithm that power Samsung’s new Auto HDR Remastering. It uses AI deep learning technology to analyze and apply real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR) effects on Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) content on a scene-by-scene basis, making SDR content brighter and livelier for absolute immersion.
Another highlight of the showcase was Samsung’s new premium Top Mount Bespoke Refrigerators which feature a timelessly contemporary modular design that seamlessly blends into any interior. With simple lines, high-quality natural materials and features that maximize convenience and streamline food storage, the Bespoke Refrigerator lineup adds lasting value to consumers’ kitchens.
