Samsung Unveils its Expanded Vision of Connected Living at CES 2019

Thanks to advancements in AI and an expanded SmartThings eco-system, Samsung lets you focus more on what you want and less on how it works

Samsung Electronics unveiled its expanded vision of connected living with improvements in smart technology that are rapidly transforming the rhythms of daily life. Samsungโ€™s connected living innovations โ€“ embedded in its home appliance line โ€“ will be on display at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) from January 8-11, 2019.

 

Todayโ€™s growing families and new homebuyers bring a new outlook towards technology and how it fits their day to day lives. Technology is no longer something that needs to be learned, but rather something that functions seamlessly in ways that enhance their lives, provides increased personalization and allows them to spend time doing what matters most to them. A Smart Home isnโ€™t about the devices, the speeds or the specs, but rather the experiences that start with the most basic daily routines.

 

โ€œConnecting people in new ways and helping them care for their homes and families is one of our biggest missions,โ€ said John Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances, Samsung Electronics America. โ€œSamsung is taking connected living to the next level with innovations that are more intelligent and intuitive, allowing people to get things done while enjoying time with family and friends.โ€

 

Case in point is the expansion of connected living to include artificial intelligence. Long viewed as something in the distant future, AI is here now. The centerpiece of Samsungโ€™s AI vision is Bixby, which in a short amount of time has leapfrogged from a simple voice assistant to a truly intelligent interface capable of more conversational interaction and simplified control of hundreds of devices.

 

The impact of Bixby built into home appliances can be seen in everything from the Family Hubโ€™s more personalized screen experience and expanded universe of voice-activated apps; to an intuitive AI-powered laundry assistant in Samsungโ€™s new front load washer which makes washing clothes the way you want infinitely more intuitive and easier.

 

In addition, over the past year, Samsung has consolidated all of its IoT apps into one, simplified and streamlined SmartThings app. At the same time, the number of SmartThings-compatible devices has doubled and now grown to include products from and partnerships with Amazon, Google, Plume, and Ring.

 

The result is a broader and even more open network for connecting and managing life at home, and the added convenience of getting daily tasks done as quickly and efficiently as possible. In other words, thereโ€™s less focus on whatย is connected and howย itโ€™s connected, and more on what the user can doย by just saying what they want to do.

 

Samsungโ€™s connected living innovations will be available this spring. For more information about Samsung Home Appliances, please visit www.samsung.com.
