Samsung's new TV's allow you to take care of your pets [VIDEO]
TV's have become more featured-packed and gone are the days when there were intense battles for the remote. As mobile phones continue to evolve at a rapid pace, with artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly integrated into devices, the humble television has also evolved to the point where you can now control your TV with your Samsung smartwatch and even take care of your pet dog or cat. No, we are not kidding. If you thought this was a plot from a sci-fi movie, think again, because it's reality: Samsung has unveiled just such a TV at an event held at Samsung DQX in Fourways, Johannesburg, on Wednesday. Competition TVs have become more feature-packed, and the days of intense battles for the remote are gone. From Samsung to Skyworth, TCL, LG, and many others, innovative technology has grown at a rapid pace, making sitting in front of the TV on a Saturday afternoon and catching the latest Formula Grand Prix or the world champion Springboks taking on the All Blacks a surreal experience. Samsung South Africa announced the availability of its 2025 Samsung 8K and 4K Neo QLED Mini LED series, which are taking the competition in a very competitive market.

Samsung is giving its TVs a major AI upgrade — here's what you can do now
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Samsung is bringing some massive changes to its AI and "Click to Search" functionality for its 2025 TV lineup. Samsung announced the update in a newsroom blog on its Korean site. It focuses on enhancing its Bixby AI voice assistant with improved natural language processing (NLP) while watching cable TV, Samsung TV Plus and terrestrial broadcasting. The new update will only be applicable on 2025 TVs, specially its more premium sets that includes New QLED, OLED, QLED, and The Frame TVs. it will first roll out in Korea, then expand to other regions in the coming months. Ask your 2025 Samsung TV 'anything' It's no secret that Bixby is a bit of a headache to use on most Samsung sets, but the new Click to Search update should make it a far better experience. Samsung is kitting the Bixby assistant with better AI programming, specifically highlighting that users will feel "as if they were talking to their TV." Newer models among the best Samsung TVs have a so-called AI button that will now have broader capabilities depending on the situation. When pressed, Bixby can either relay pertinent information about the on-screen content, or you can simply ask it a question about what's on-screen. That's because Samsung has enhanced Bixby with Natural Language Processing (NLP). It's a subset in the field of AI that focuses on bridging human language with computer interpretation. It essentially will make Bixby far easier to use and more interactive. This new Click to Search functionality will only be available in certain applications, like Samsung TV Plus, terrestrial broadcasting and cable TV. Samsung claims it's "considering expanding to OTT channels in the future," but gives no word on if it will be available with some of the best streaming services. Samsung says the new update will only be applicable for 2025 sets. These include its Neo QLED models, like the Samsung QN990F 8K TV, OLED TVs, like the Samsung S95F, QLEDs, and even The Frame. It will first launch in Korea, then expand to other parts of the world later this year. It's unclear if this update will be retroactively added to older models through Samsung's seve- year Tizen OS update plan, but it seems unlikely. Samsung promoted AI as the main backbone of its 2025 TV lineup, and the hardware on older sets might not be as capable — not to mention the fact that the AI button is only available on newer models.

Deal: Get $200 off a Samsung The Frame TV!
Just yesterday, we covered a deal on the Samsung The Frame Pro, but not everyone needs that higher-end model. Samsung's The Frame is still an awesome TV, and there's a really nice deal on it right now. Sammy is offering a nice discount right now. Buy a Samsung The Frame LS03FA 65-Inch Smart TV for $1,599.99 ($200 off) This offer is available directly from Samsung. While unrelated to Amazon Prime Day, the promotion is running during the same time, which is July 8-11. This means the deal ends tonight! Samsung's The Frame series has quickly become one of the most sought-after TV line-ups out there. This is mostly because of its aesthetics. These are super slim, at just one inch of thickness. When mounted, the TV will look like a regular painting, with white borders and all. Additionally, the bezels can be replaced, making them look like a frame and making it easy to match them to their surroundings. The matte display is perfect for displaying art., and you have plenty of pieces to choose from thanks to the Art Store. Just pick your favorite works, or use your own, and the TV will display them in their full glory. Additionally, the TV has motion detection, so it will know when there's no one around to admire art, and will automatically turn off until someone walks into the room. It works great as a TV. This one comes with a 65-inch QLED panel featuring a 4K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung Vision AI will improve both the picture and audio quality. Other features include Quantum HDR, Supreme UHD Dimming, Motion Xcelerator 144Hz, and Color Booster Pro. Of course, this smart TV also features Tizen Smart TV and Samsung TV Plus, so you have everything you need to stream your favorite content. The remote even has a small solar panel, so you can keep it running without worrying about changing batteries all the time! We can't forget about the free soundbar! You are getting a free soundbar with Q-Symphony. More specifically, you can pick between the Samsung S60D and S61D. These are the same, but one is black and the other is white. Q-Symphony technology pretty much syncs your TV speakers with the soundbar, combining all speakers available for a more immersive sound. This is nice because the TV actually features relatively good 40W speakers. Make sure to act quickly if you want in on this deal. Again, this offer ends tonight! And if 65 inches is a bit too large for you, smaller models are also on sale, but the discounts aren't as good for most of them.

12 Essential Smart Home Innovations Redefining Luxury Living
LA Times Studios may earn commission from purchases made through our links. Luxury, once a synonym for extravagance, is being quietly rewritten. In today's most coveted homes, the magic is in what you don't see: integrated tech, invisible comfort, and materials that work smarter. The new gold standard isn't what you can show off, but how your home supports and adapts to the life you actually live. Welcome to the era of the high-performance smart home. Homes are no longer relying on single-use gadgets or novelty light bulbs. Instead, truly integrated platforms like Ecobee quietly orchestrate everything from temperature to indoor air quality and even daily routines. These systems learn your patterns, like when you wake up, leave home, and when you return, and make invisible adjustments that cut energy costs and freshen the air. John Ho, CEO of Landsea Homes, explains that homeowners today are now increasingly expecting the latest tech features, and Landsea Homes has taken note, making these features standard instead of premium upgrades. The result is a home that feels responsive, supportive, and easy to live in from day one. Technology can clutter a room or vanish into it. The new smart home prefers the latter. And as one design expert puts it, 'Every high-performance home works as a system.' Whether it's smart lighting that mimics the sun's rhythm or motorized window shades that optimize comfort, the most advanced features tend to be the least obtrusive, letting design and daylight take center stage. Even televisions have become masters of disguise, like with Samsung's The Frame, which displays art when not in use, blending seamlessly with gallery walls. The Tapo D225 2K Smart Doorbell delivers sharp, real-time video feeds of visitors and deliveries, ensuring awareness even when you're away from home. Minimalist and easy to use, the Google Nest Smart Thermostat quietly handles schedules and comfort settings, adjusting the temperature automatically and blending into the wall with its subtle, understated design. Built-In Air Purifiers – The Levoit Core 600S keeps indoor air fresh by quietly filtering out allergens and pollutants, running day and night without drawing attention to itself. AI-Driven Lighting – With Philips Hue, lighting adapts to your daily rhythms. Enjoy gentle sunrise tones in the morning or a cozy, dim glow for movie nights. Air-Quality Sensors – AirVisual Pro Indoor Monitor detects invisible issues like radon, VOCs, and humidity, and triggers connected systems to respond when air quality dips. Water Leak Sensors – Moen Flo Detectors stand guard under sinks and behind appliances, sending an alert at the first sign of a leak. Motorized Window Shades – Yoolax Motorized Roller Shades can be controlled by voice, set to a schedule, or programmed to move with the sun, offering privacy and helping regulate temperature with minimal effort. WaterSense Fixtures The Moen Align Faucet pairs a modern, streamlined look with EPA-certified water efficiency, offering style and sustainability in equal measure. Real-Time Energy Dashboards Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor provides instant feedback on energy use, making it easy to spot where electricity is being used (or wasted) throughout the day. Automated Energy Optimization EcoFlowSmart Home Panel 2 stores solar-generated electricity to power your home during outages or peak-demand hours. Passive Cooling Features Solar Venting Skylights automatically open and close to let in fresh air and daylight, helping to keep your home comfortable and reducing the need for air conditioning. Hidden and Integrated TechSolutions like the Samsung The Frame TV and low-profile speaker systems are designed to blend into your décor, proving that technology can disappear until you need it. Why These Innovations Matter: These features quietly handle life's logistics, so residents have more time and headspace for what matters most. No magic tricks, just good design, intelligently applied. A modern home does more than just look the part. It should actively support the people who live there. Air quality monitors, for example, aren't just decorative; they're part of a network that quietly coordinates ventilation and filtration, adjusting in real time. In cities or wildfire-prone areas, this kind of system can make a genuine difference in daily comfort. Water leak sensors catch small issues before they become emergencies, saving both stress and repairs. And whole-home batteries keep the essentials running (lights, Wi-Fi, refrigeration) so a blackout is little more than a brief inconvenience. These aren't flashy upgrades; they're quiet, competent essentials that speak to thoughtful design. No home becomes smart overnight. Every system requires a setup phase, a few tweaks, and the occasional update. Some features, like air quality and climate, make a noticeable difference from the start, while others work best as part of a whole. Savvy homeowners start with the essentials and add layers as needs or routines change. The best part? Once everything is running, the home quietly recedes, letting you focus on living, not troubleshooting. Luxury is no longer about putting everything on display. The new standard is a home that's easy to live in, quietly supportive, and resilient enough for whatever the world brings. The smartest homes work so well that you barely notice them.
