CES 2023: Samsung reveals vision to bring calm to the connected device experience

Samsung showcased multiple new technologies at the ongoing tech trade show CES 2023 in Las Vegas. The company has now shared its vision for a calmer connected world through cutting-edge technologies that enhance the lives of users.
Jong-Hee (JH) Han, vice chairman, CEO and Head of the DX (Device eXperience) Division at Samsung Electronics highlighted company’s strategy to deliver on the promise of the connected experience across the key touchpoints in our lives – in our homes, cars, and at work – while also working to build a more sustainable future. “It’s about solving real challenges today and understanding consumers’ future needs and aspirations. It will take time, innovation, and cooperation with partners worldwide. But we are committed to achieving it, and already getting started,” said CEO Han.

Samsung highlights sustainability
Samsung highlighted how it continues to prioritise the environment through a combination of sustainability targets, innovative product design, and strategic partnerships. In the nearer term, the DX Division will transition to 100 percent renewable energy by 2027 and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030.
Samsung also outlined how Everyday Sustainability—building sustainability features into the company’s most popular products and services—will contribute to a healthier environment.
Samsung announced that many of its TVs and smartphones use recycled materials, including recycled plastic from discarded finishing nets, while the company’s home appliances, memory and 5G radio network chipsets are contributing to energy savings for customers. In addition, Samsung’s connected services, such as SmartThings Energy and AI Energy Mode, are also helping consumers save energy and cut costs while lowering their overall climate impact.

Connected home experience
Also, at the CES press conference, Samsung announced the latest smart home innovation, with the SmartThings Station – its first product to have Matter support built-in right from the beginning. It is a convenient, new way to kick-start SmartThings experiences at home and make it easier to interact with connected devices. SmartThings Station turns Samsung’s wireless charger into a smart home hub that can seamlessly transform the state of your home at the touch of a button.
