3 min read
Samsung’s latest livestream concluded 2 days ago and there’s a series of announcements or rather teasers/commitments they will be bringing this year. Let’s go through them in a quick manner.
The headline begins with a refocus of the SmartThings family where Samsung has come up with 5 different key aspects that a SmartThings product should do:
- Instant Connection – One-click setup when setting up a new SmartThings device
- Automated Connection – Set up connections between SmartThings devices automatically when a new one has been added to the circle
- Hub Everywhere – Most SmartThings product comes with an IoT hub that acts as a dashboard
- Expansive Compatibility – Thanks to Home Connectivity Alliance and the MATTER standards, a wide variety of 3rd party devices works with SmartThings
- Security – New Samsung Knox Vault encrypts all local data thanks to CC EAL 6+ certification
Catching up that part is the sustainability topic with ongoing and WIP achievements such as TVs, monitors, and remote controls made with at least 50% recycled materials in addition to sustainable packaging in shipping boxes. They also tried to turn CO2 into recycled materials, using fewer materials, and upcycling products and packaging. In short, they are taking a rather innovative path this year without compromising on what they’re already doing.
Next, the Neo QLED 8K and OLED screens will make 2023 better for any home capable of owning them. The flagship QN900C’s cutting-edge Auto HDR Remastering and 8K AI Upscaling easily turn visually unappealing content into vivid scenes for a brand new look. With Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony 3.0 leading the audio department, every frame of a movie will be memorable.
The OLED family sees the addition of the S95C and S90C carrying the “World’s 1st PANTONE-Validated HDR OLED” panel powered by the Neural Quantum Processor 4K.
Made for gamers, the 55-inch Odyssey Neo G9 rocks the dual UHD resolution panel together with a superior sound system and multitasking support are one of the unique displays that make an impression for hardcore users. Also, the 57-inch version alongside another 49-inch OLED version will arrive in H2 2023.
For gamers, the Odyssey Neo G9 is a 55-inch curved screen with dual UHD resolution packed with a powerful sound system and multitasking capabilities and it is one not to miss when it comes to premium gaming monitors.
The Gaming Hub has also received upgrades to host several cloud gaming platforms like Amazon Luna, GeForce NOW, Utomik, and Xbox Cloud. Many features within the Game Bar provide advantages to players including Mini Map Zoom and Virtual Aim Point can be accessed as well.
