Back to Samsung 2025. But recently, I had the opportunity to check the entire lineup in one place. This seems like a great time to quickly introduce some of the most interesting new products and features, and will be available for Samsung’s custom portfolio later this year.
The core of the custom line still exists, and two screens of different sizes are now available. There is a model with a smaller 9-inch screen starting at $3,999, or a large 32-inch panel with a large 32-inch Family Hub+ for $4,699. The former is ostensibly designed for people who want more caution but still want to access Samsung smart features, including widgets for calendars, music, weather, various cooking apps, and more. Meanwhile, the larger model is for families who are not afraid of having a small TV on their face every time they open the refrigerator. You can even play videos from Tiktok if you like.
That said, Samsung wants to attract people to use more AI-powered tools to leverage these displays, most notably its vision for improving AI in object recognition. By using sensors installed in the device, Samsung says its latest custom refrigerators can detect 37 different types of fresh ingredients (such as production and dairy) and up to 50 processed foods. This allows the device to keep the latest list you may (or may not have) that you can view from your phone when shopping on your refrigerator’s monitor or grocery store.
Now, I will fully acknowledge that AI has become a blank buzzword lately, and in this case I’m not sure what the difference between AI-based object recognition and traditional object recognition is. But being able to get your refrigerator to generate an internal list in the store is a convenience I want to see more. Additional features of Samsung’s custom French door refrigerator include built-in Wi-Fi and Smartthings Connectivity, a dual-automatic ice maker that creates regular and smaller “ice bite” cubes as well as always useful beverage centers, and features built-in cold water jugs.
If all of this isn’t technical enough, Samsung also has its 4-door refrigerator (starting at $3,999) that can cool its contents using a standard compressor and solid state. The idea is that in normal use, the compressor provides consistent baseline cooling, while the Peltier module (power through AI) is turned on to resolve significant temperature changes. For example, when you load groceries, the module will start, or just keep the door open for too long. This not only helps to return the temperature to normal, but also reduces overall energy consumption. For those looking to fill a new refrigerator in a tight spot, Samsung has also made a custom 4-door Flex kitchen-style refrigerator (the price is still TBD). While it doesn’t have a hair module, the advantage of this model is that it has different doors and hinges that don’t stick out almost when opened. This means that the gap in the refrigerator requires only 4mm (0.15 inches) of clearance, rather than as many inches as a regular refrigerator.
Samsung’s matte glass induction cooktops are mostly the same for cooking, but it has both a custom 30-inch single ($3,759) and a double ($4,649) wall oven…you guessed it, more of an AI. In addition to the 7-inch display, there is a camera and sensor inside the oven that can identify up to 80 different recipes for the best cooking time. But if you’re willing to go to a paper subscription and create original content, Samsung says the oven will give you the option of recipes and temperature settings after five cooking times. For more interesting application technology, the oven’s camera can record videos and create timeframes for baked goods to be shared on social media.
Samsung’s $1,399 custom car door opener has some tips when it comes to cleaning. In this case, the washing machine uses AI (again) and sensors to more accurately detect food residues and optimize cleaning cycles. There is also a third rack with a dedicated sprayer on it. But the best part is that in use, the washing machine only costs 38 decibels, which Samsung says makes it one of the quietest models of its kind.
Samsung said when moving to the laundry that its $3,099 custom AI laundry combination is the first of its kind, as most combined washer/dryers are usually used in small apartments (and, of course, there is also a non-ventilated model). But for me, what’s even more impressive is that Samsung claims its combined washer can be fully cleaned and dried in just 68 minutes, which is faster than many pairing units can achieve.
Finally, there is a custom AI Jet Ultra cordless rod vacuum for $1,099, just like Samsung’s attempt at using Dyson. With its new Hexajet motor, the jet has a battery life of up to 100 minutes and a suction force of up to 400AW. The company said the combination makes this Stick Vac the most powerful and enduring model today. It also uses AI to better detect its surface and lift dust and debris more efficiently. The main drawback is that the vacuum’s shaft and housing are significantly thicker than the thickness you get on many competitors, so it may not be that actionable.
