Samsung had several announcements today at IFA 2018 in Berlin just one day before the conference begins. “Samsung is uniquely positioned to provide consumers with a full range of cutting-edge AI and IoT products and services based on our wide-ranging portfolio of TVs, displays, audio, home appliances and of course mobile devices,” said HS Kim, President and CEO of Consumer Electronics Division, Samsung Electronics. The below products just released at IFA 2018 prove just that.

Samsung Displays:

Per our previous Samsung article, they already released that they would launch their new CJ79 curved QLED monitor at IFA 2018 but more display news was released today at IFA 2018 Berlin. Samsung introduced the Q900R QLED 8K, complete with 8K AI Upscaling. Available in four ultra-large screen sizes (65”, 75”, 82” and 85”), Samsung QLED 8K TV will feature several 8K-ready enhancements, including Real 8K Resolution, Q HDR 8K and Quantum Processor 8K, all created to bring 8K-quality images to life.

Another display Samsung announced is The Wall, a Micro LED screen designed for enterprise and out-of-home viewing environments. Complete with self-emitting display technology and a modular design, The Wall is fully-customizable to give users the freedom to decide how to incorporate the display in their space.

Samsung Mobile Devices:

The Galaxy Note9 announced at IFA is said to be Samsung’s most powerful smartphone yet. It was announced earlier this month in New York plus there are already commercials about the Galaxy Note9 but here’s what you need to know per Samsung. The phone comes in two internal storage options either 128GB or 512GB* which can be maximized to 1TB with a microSD card inserted. The Galaxy Note9’s 4,000mAh battery performance enables users to talk, text and play games and its intelligent camera helps users to capture the perfect shot each time. The S Pen, a trademark of the Galaxy Note series has incorporated a Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) function. Evolved into a Bluetooth remote control device, the S Pen now lets users take selfies and control presentation slides – even if the phone is 10 meters away.

Samsung also announced the new Galaxy Watch, which blends the look of a traditional watch with smart technology. Per Samsung the Galaxy Watch’s has an improved battery life of up to 80+ hours which eliminates the need for daily charging. The new addition of LTE connectivity allows users of the Galaxy Watch to now stay connected without being connected to a smartphone. The Galaxy Watch comes added with a new stress management tracker, sleep tracker and breathing exercises to help users stay focused.

Samsung Smart Home Appliances:

One of the Smart Appliances that were announced is the Family Hub refrigerator where users can have a connected smart home living experience. The Family Hub has a large touchscreen as a control panel and can easily control connected devices including third-party devices. By using Bixby and Voice ID, users can instantly receive tailored and personalized information they need. The Family Hub’s Meal Planner helps consumers plan meals by recommending the recipes that suit them best.

The Dual Cook Flex oven Samsung announced has brought increased cooking efficiency to meet varying dietary requirements or preferences. It has a flexible door and dual-cook function plus users can cater to each family member’s needs efficiently. The Cooking Guide gives consumers recommendations on which oven to use based on the food ingredients and the type of cooking.

Samsung’s newest washing machine, Quick Drive launched at IFA 2018 can wash clothes in half the time without compromising washing performance or freeing up consumers’ time. In addition, its AI-powered laundry care Q-rator system serves as a personalized and intelligent assistant, while Laundry Planner minimizes time wasted on washing clothes by allowing users to start and stop laundry according to their schedule.
