Seminar in Bangkok brings to life Samsung’s vision of smarter and connected experiences across its appliance and mobile portfolio.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. held its 2025 Southeast Asia Tech Seminar in Bangkok, Thailand on June 20, unveiling its latest advancements in home appliances for the region. The seminar showcased how Samsung is bringing AI innovation to everyday living with smarter, more connected experiences across its appliance and mobile portfolio.
“We are continuously exploring new ways to enhance user convenience by creating seamless synergy across our products,” said Daren Tay, VP & Regional Head of Digital Appliances for Southeast Asia & Oceania, Samsung Electronics. “Through the Southeast Asia Tech Seminar, we aim to showcase the depth of our technological capabilities in detail and further strengthen the trust consumers place in our appliances.”
At the event, more than 40 journalists and influencers from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam personally experienced Samsung’s vision for 2025 and had an in-depth look at the design and technology in the featured appliances. The seminar was hosted at the Business Experience Studio, a space specially designed to offer business clients and visitors innovative and future-focused experiences through Samsung’s wide range of products and solutions.
Home Living Made Simple: Samsung’s “AI Home” Vision in Action
At the foundation of the showcase is Samsung’s commitment to making home living easier and more intuitive. This commitment is underscored by its “AI Home” vision, which focuses on the four key pillars of Ease, Save, Care, and Secure.
One of the centerpieces of this experience is the upgraded AI Home display[1] — a smart screen now available across more appliances, which enables users to seamlessly access functions, view personalized information on their Daily Board, and manage their home using Map View. The screen also connects third-party devices[2] via SmartThings, eliminating the need for a separate hub[3].
To enhance hands-free control experiences, the Bixby[4] voice assistant now includes Voice ID,[5] allowing the system to recognize individual users registered in advance, sync personal calendars[6] and even mirror Galaxy smartphone accessibility settings for better visibility. [7] Users can also access the benefits of new SmartThings services such as Family Care,[8] which offers peace of mind by alerting family members of inactivity or unusual patterns, while being secured by Samsung Knox.
Innovative Refrigeration Solutions
At the seminar, Samsung also showcased its new global refrigerator lineup, which brings to life the “Screens Everywhere” vision that was first unveiled at CES 2025. Notable features of the lineup include the debut of the 9-inch AI Home display and improved AI Family Hub™ experiences.
Another highlight was the introduction of the new Side-by-Side model which was recently launched for the Southeast Asian market. It features an integrated screen for enhanced usability, supports AI Energy Mode[9] through built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and includes Wide Auto Open Door, which allows users to open the door with just a light touch.
Smarter Laundry, Greater Efficiency
Samsung continues to lead in laundry solutions with AI-enhanced functionality that delivers higher levels of convenience and efficiency. In response to regional demands, Samsung is incorporating AI Wash [10]— previously exclusive to front-load washers — to the new Bespoke AI Top Load Washer for the first time. The top-load models also offer a range of other AI features, including AI Energy Mode and AI VRT+.
Additionally, the new Bespoke AI Washer and Dryer set offers the enhanced AI Wash+ and AI Dry+[11] features for smarter performance. Notably, they can recognize a wider range of fabric types than before, giving users a more personalized laundry experience[12]. The new Bespoke AI Laundry washer and dryer set also comes equipped with AI Home Screen that offer intuitive control and monitoring of essential information such as wash cycles and remaining detergent levels.
At the seminar, Samsung introduced the principles behind the AI features of its laundry lineup, particularly focusing on how its devices leverage AI to detect laundry and adjust the washing or drying cycle accordingly.
Diverse air conditioner solutions for smart living
Attendees at the seminar also learned about the new ‘Good Sleep’ mode, which allows users to connect their air conditioners with their Galaxy Watch series and Galaxy Ring, and enable automatic adjustment of the air conditioner from the wearable’s detection of their sleep stage.
The newly launched system air conditioner (SAC) lineup was also on display during the seminar, giving attendees the opportunity to discover more about Samsung’s intelligent climate solutions that offer seamless smart experiences with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity.
Powerful, Intelligent Vacuum Cleaners
Samsung is also introducing its most advanced vacuum products yet. The Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is the world’s most powerful cordless stick vacuum,[13] boasting up to 400W[14] of suction power and AI Cleaning Mode 2.0,[15] which can now detect corner[16] types and floor variations[17] – such as carpets, hard floors, mats – for smarter cleaning. The seminar included a demonstration of the HexaJet Motor, AI algorithm, and All-in-one clean station, demonstrating Samsung’s innovative advancements across both hardware and software offerings.
