Company expands screens across 4-Door, 4-Door French Door, and Side-by-Side refrigerators, expanding the ‘Screens Everywhere’ vision

 

Refrigerators with innovative AI Hybrid Cooling Technology roll out globally

 

 

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Apr. 13, 2025 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the global rollout of its latest lineup of smart refrigerators, reinforcing the “Screens Everywhere” vision introduced at CES 2025. This expansion includes the introduction of the 9-inch AI Home screen[1] on the 4-Door, 4-Door French Door and Side by Side refrigerators, as well as an enhanced Family Hub screen on select French Door and Side by Side models. An enhanced AI Vision Inside[2] feature is integrated on select 4-Door and 4-Door French Door models, refining food identification and streamlining meal planning to ensure a more intuitive kitchen experience for users.

 

“By offering a wide array of refrigerator options across type and also screen sizes, we are expanding choices to meet diverse household requirements,” says Jeong Seung Moon, EVP and Head of the R&D Team for Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “Consumers can enjoy greater flexibility in choosing fridge designs while benefiting from the AI-powered smart home experience Samsung provides.”



 

A Smarter Way To Manage Food, Home, Family Communication and Entertainment

 

Samsung’s new refrigerators incorporate the intuitive 9” AI Home screen and 32” or 21.5” Family Hub screens, which are designed to enhance four key areas of daily life: Food, Home, Family Communication and Entertainment. The first category, food, is especially powered by the upgraded AI Vision Inside, which adds four more food items to the list of recognizable types for a total of 37. Furthermore, adding on to fresh food items, AI Vision Inside can now also recognize processed food items. Refrigerators with the enhanced AI Vision Inside will recognize and recommend users to save processed food items that have been placed inside multiple times, allowing up to 50 items to be saved with designated names[3]. Based on the improved food list, the screen will provide tailored recipe recommendations and meal planning[4], making home cooking more seamless and personalized.

 

Beyond food, the screens also enhance smart home connectivity. The latest advancements provide deeper integration into the smart home ecosystem, making the refrigerator a central hub capable of controlling connected appliances throughout the entire home. With the integration of Map View, users can monitor and control Samsung appliances and even third-party smart home devices[5] like lights and smart plugs. There’s also SmartThings Energy[6], which helps users track and optimize their energy consumption, facilitating greater efficiency in everyday life. The intuitive display provides users with access to a great deal of information about their home, with users also being able to issue voice commands through Bixby[7].

 

The new Daily Board feature keeps everyone informed and connected. Placed at the heart of the home, the refrigerator screen delivers real-time updates throughout the day — whether it’s the morning weather and schedule before heading to work, or daily energy consumption reports in the evening. Users can also easily access their schedules through voice commands and receive tailored responses. By recognizing each family member’s voice and replying accordingly, Bixby will serve as both a helpful assistant for the entire household and for each person individually[8]. Additional family-focused features include a shared gallery for storing precious memories and a calendar to help with daily planning.




 

Samsung’s latest refrigerators also redefine entertainment in the kitchen, allowing users to stay engaged while cooking or spending time with family. With Spotify integration, users can listen to their favorite music or podcasts directly from their fridge[9]. SmartView Mirroring enables seamless screen sharing from smartphones or Samsung TVs, and the dedicated gallery feature lets families display their favorite photos, adding a personal touch to the kitchen.

 

The Next Generation of Refrigeration

 

The 4-Door Refrigerator is designed to meet the needs of modern households with its innovative features.[10] The 9” AI Home applied on select models allows the refrigerator to integrate seamlessly with the smart home ecosystem. Models that incorporate Hybrid Cooling technology[11] keep produce fresh for even longer, while also allowing extra space[12] by utilizing a peltier module that is compact in size for cooling. By utilizing the conventional compressor and the Peltier module together, AI Hybrid Cooling is capable of providing additional cooling whenever necessary, such as when the internal temperature increases or when AI predicts a potential rise[13]. When users put in a large amount of groceries after shopping, or open the door multiple times in the summer, the Peltier module will assist the compressor to maintain a consistent internal temperature.

 

The 4-Door Refrigerator also comes in Kitchen Fit design, allowing agile installation that requires only a tiny gap of just 4mm from the sides and 20mm from the top. Also, the refrigerator’s doors have been enhanced with SpaceMax™ insulation technology that uses less amount of high-efficiency insulation, increasing the space in the doors by 56% compared to previous models equaling 10L in capacity[14]. Users can also enjoy convenience with the wide opening door that opens more than 90 degrees, and the food showcase to store frequently used items.

 

The 4-Door French Door Refrigerator, launching in North America, is available in various configurations, including a 32” Family Hub and a 9” AI Home. This flexibility allows users to choose the best fit for their kitchen. The Auto Open Door[15] feature ensures hassle-free accessibility with just a gentle tap, making it accessible to everyone in all kinds of situations to effortlessly access the inside of the fridge. It also has a Beverage Center that includes a water dispenser and a 1.4L Auto-Fill Water Pitcher that is dishwasher safe[16] and BPA free[17]. Apart from ensuring that fresh, filtered water is always available, the pitcher also allows users to infuse their water with fruits and herbs.

 

The Side-by-Side Refrigerator also offers multiple screen options, including the 21.5” Family Hub and 9” AI Home[18]. The model, featuring an Auto Open Door that opens up widely makes it simpler to reach stored items[19], is designed for users who prioritize easy access and organization. Select European models are equipped with Hybrid Cooling technology — as seen in the 4-Door refrigerator — to maintain freshness by preventing temperature fluctuations.

 

All three types of refrigerators come with the AI Energy Mode feature, allowing users to reduce energy consumption by up to an additional 10%[20]. Users can choose to activate the mode always, or when electricity bills are expected to exceed the preset target.

 

With these latest innovative solutions, Samsung continues to push the boundaries of the connected kitchen, transforming the refrigerator into an intelligent hub that enhances food management, smart home integration and entertainment. By seamlessly blending AI-enabled convenience with energy efficiency, Samsung is redefining how users interact with their appliances and bringing the future of the smart home to life.

Landmark partnership leverages Leejam’s national footprint and SURJ’s sports IP to unlock value across Saudi’s sports sector


Supports Vision 2030 ambitions to grow physical activity and expand the sports economy

Riyadh, 30 July 2025: Leejam Sports Company, Saudi Arabia’s leading network of sports and fitness centers and a publicly listed company, and SURJ Sports Investment, the Kingdom’s leading sports investment company, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate growth and innovation across the Kingdom’s dynamic sports ecosystem, particularly in fitness and community engagement.

Signed by Abdulelah Al-Nemr, CEO of Leejam Sports Company, and Danny Townsend, CEO of SURJ Sports Investment, the agreement reflects a shared ambition to elevate sports participation, scale innovation, and expand access to world-class fitness experiences, and activate new models of community engagement and wellness innovation in line with Saudi Vision 2030 goals to build a more active, inclusive, and healthier society.

The agreement outlines a broad framework for collaboration across six key areas: stadia and fitness facility operations, co-investment in sports properties, sponsorship and brand engagement, community activation and mass participation, data and technology integration, and co-creation of content and media production.

Abdulelah Al-Nemr, Board Member and CEO of Leejam Sports Company, said: “This MoU marks a pivotal step in Leejam’s journey to further solidify our role as a catalyst for Saudi’s wellness transformation. Partnering with SURJ aligns with our strategic vision to foster active lifestyles, deliver value for shareholders, and contribute meaningfully to the Kingdom’s socioeconomic goals. We look forward to harnessing our national footprint and digital platforms to scale this collaboration across communities and sports disciplines.”



Danny Townsend, CEO of SURJ Sports Investment, said: “Leejam’s scale and expertise in fitness and wellness make them a natural partner as we continue to grow Saudi Arabia’s sports ecosystem. This MoU reflects our shared commitment to participation, performance, and innovation, and to unlocking opportunities that go beyond traditional investment models. From stadiums to digital assets, and from community challenges to elite content, we’re excited to explore how we can bring the power of sport closer to more people across the country.”

As Saudi Arabia’s largest and most trusted network of fitness centers, operating under the “Fitness Time” brand, Leejam brings unparalleled market reach and operational capabilities. Through this partnership, Leejam will assess opportunities to operate or support fitness and wellness zones within SURJ-backed facilities, and to activate programming aligned with SURJ’s investments in major sports events and leagues. The MoU also covers exploratory co-investment models in sports IP, as well as leveraging Leejam’s national footprint to scale SURJ-led activations and co-host fitness activations that promote grassroots participation in SURJ priority sports. 

Additional areas of focus in the MoU include sponsorship engagement opportunities, ranging from access to Leejam facilities and athlete visibility within gym environments to joint sports promotion campaigns and sponsorship for SURJ-owned IP.

Women’s participation in sport in Saudi Arabia has seen extraordinary growth, with a 149% increase since 2015 and more than 330,000 registered female athletes today.

Huawei and Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology Inaugurate Future Skills Center to Support 2030 Digital Transformation Agenda


 Huawei and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) reinforced their commitment to empowering national talent and advancing Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation agenda with the grand opening of the Future Skills Center in Riyadh.

The ceremony was attended by high-level dignitaries, including H.E. Haytham AlOhali, Vice Minister of Communications and Information Technology; and H.E. Chang Hua, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Saudi Arabia; Eng. Murhaf Bin Mohammed Al-Madani, Assistant Minister for Development and Transformation at the Ministry of Education; Eng. Mansour bin Saleh Al-Qurashi, Deputy Minister of Communications and Information Technology for International Cooperation and Partnerships; Safa Al-Rashed, Deputy Minister of Future Jobs and Capabilities; as well as Liam Zhao, Chairman of the Board for Huawei Saudi Arabia.

The Center stands as an evolution of the successful ‘Future Space’ exhibition that opened in 2022 by Huawei and in collaboration with the Saudi Space Commission (SSC). The largest of its kind outside China, the Future Space exhibition showcases advanced technologies such as autonomous driving, 3D printing and brainwave robot control. It has welcomed more than 35,000 visitors since opening its doors to the public and has offered more than 270 training sessions to more than 10,000 participants in three years.

Commenting on the inauguration, H.E. Haytham AlOhali, Vice Minister of Communications and Information Technology, said: “Enhancing digital capabilities is a pivotal element in developing human capital and a fundamental driver of growth in the technology and economic sectors. The Future Skills Center contributes by providing an advanced training environment focused on developing digital skills in modern technologies, keeping pace with the rapid technological advancements and achieving the objectives of Vision 2030.”

The launch follows Huawei and MCIT’s joint announcement at the 2025 LEAP Summit earlier this year to expand the Future Space exhibition into a broader Future Skills framework. Now, the Future Skills Center has been redesigned as a dynamic hub for skill-building, technological exploration, and hands-on innovation. It offers immersive learning experiences in next-generation technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, and smart applications across various industries and communities.

Speaking on the newly launched center, H.E. Chang Hua, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Saudi Arabia, said: “This initiative stands as a powerful example of the deepening cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia across the fields of innovation, education, and technology. The Future Skills Center reflects our shared belief in the importance of knowledge exchange and capacity building to drive sustainable growth. China and Saudi Arabia have a rich history of collaboration, and we will continue to partner to build a strong digital future here in Saudi Arabia.”

For his part, Liam Zhao, Chairman of the Board at Huawei Saudi Arabia, said: “When we first opened Future Space three years ago, our aim was to inspire a new generation of Saudi innovators. Since then, that inspiration has evolved into real momentum. We witness a remarkable drive here to learn about emerging tech, and this aligns fully with one of Huawei’s core priorities – to develop local talent and expand access to digital skills. With the launch of the Future Skills Center, we are deepening our commitment to create more value and accelerate Saudi’s digital future.”

The newly inaugurated Future Skills Center is aligned with the national strategy to build a digitally enabled society and develop a competitive knowledge-based economy. It will provide training, certifications, and real-world application scenarios that strengthen local capabilities and inspire future innovators.
