IFA 2017: Samsung представил стиральные машины со смарт-функциями и революционной энергосберегающей технологией









Накануне презентации в рамках крупнейшей в Европе выставки потребительской электроники IFA 2017, которая откроется в Берлине (Германия) 1-го сентября, южнокорейская корпорация Samsung Electronics анонсировала свои новые продукты.
В частности, был выпущен официальный пресс-релиз о готовящихся к выпуску новых моделях стиральных машин с революционной технологией QuickDrive™, позволяющей сократить среднее время стирки в 2 раза. Запатентованная Samsung технология QuickDrive™ значительно снизит затраты владельцев новых домашних помощников на оплату коммунальных счетов, экономя электроэнергию и воду за счёт изменения конструкции барабана и новых алгоритмов процесса стирки.
Инженерам Samsung удалось решить задачу, над решением которой многие компании-конкуренты бьются уже целые десятилетия.
Начнём с того, что новая стиральная машина WW8800M является "интеллектуальным" устройством, имеющим вычислительный модуль на базе операционной системы TIZEN. Это означает, что автоматика может с наибольшей точностью определять необходимый режим стирки при максимальной экономии ресурсов.
Samsung WW8800M оснащена новейшим инверторным двигателем, системой пузырькового впрыска, двойной дверцей AddWash (позволяет добавлять бельё фактически без прерывания процесса стирки) и новым барабаном с упомянутой выше технологией QuickDrive™.
В сочетании все эти новации дают потрясающий эффект, что наверняка привлечёт внимание покупателей к новым моделям указанной серии.
QuickDrive™ представляет собой барабан с разнонаправленно двигающимися частями. Торцевая часть барабана отделена от основной и работает по принципу стиральной машины активаторного типа (с вертикальной загрузкой), в то время как "стенки" вращаются отдельно. Проще говоря, во время стирки возникают разнонаправленные потоки воды, которая подаётся под определённым давлением, регулируемым автоматикой. Всё это резко ускоряет процесс удаления частичек грязи, которые захватываются мелкими воздушными пузырьками и частицами моющего средства. Как уже было сказано выше, процесс стирки сокращается в среднем в 2 раза, позволяя существенно экономить на расходе воды и электроэнергии.
Разумеется, новая модель может быть полностью интегрирована в экосистему IoT (интернет вещей) и стать частью "умного дома", работу которого можно контролировать удалённо с помощью смартфона, планшета или смарт-часов Samsung.
Новая стиральная машина WW8800M будет представлена на стенде Samsung с 1 по 6 сентября в павильоне City Cube Berlin на IFA 2017.

Samsung Cuts Laundry Time in Half with Groundbreaking QuickDrive™ Technology

New WW8800M with QuickDrive™ technology speeds up laundry chores without compromising washing performance, boasting an AI-powered intelligent assistance and the highly acclaimed AddWash™ door

Samsung Electronics today announced its revolutionary new washing machine technology QuickDrive™ set to be unveiled at IFA 2017 in Berlin. At the heart of the WW8800M washing machine is Samsung’s exclusive QuickDrive™ technology, which provides consumers the power to dramatically reduce the time it takes to do a load of laundry in half1. On its Super Speed setting, a daily load of laundry completes in just 39 minutes, offering consumers the time-saving solution they always wanted but never had, without compromising washing performance1, energy efficiency, fabric care and durability.
“QuickDrive™ is the industry’s game changer, dramatically cutting the amount of time it takes for users to do laundry and giving them more time to enjoy life,” said B.S. Suh, Executive Vice President of the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “The new WW8800M washing machine uses QuickDrive™ technology to provide fast and powerful washing performance, with a range of technologies and smart functionality that make doing laundry so much easier.”

Improved Washing Performance with Samsung’s Unique Technology

Samsung’s QuickDrive™ technology cuts washing time by 50% and energy use by 20% (*1) without compromising the cleaning performance. Its unique Q-Drum™ consists of a large main drum and a plate in the back that rotates independently. Unlike conventional washers that move clothes repeatedly up and down over the course of the cycle, the WW8800M moves clothes from top to bottom in the drum, and the plate in the back of the drum introduces a back and forth movement. It creates a revolutionary dynamic action powered by double forces that quickly, gently and thoroughly remove dirt to deliver an intense and complete wash cycle.
In addition, Samsung’s unrivalled QuickDrive™ technology was independently tested by Intertek, the world’s largest testing and inspection organization. Intertek confirmed that QuickDrive™ technology provides the same level of cleaning performance and fabric care as existing products, while reducing washing times.
The new WW8800M also has many of Samsung’s outstanding laundry technologies, like EcoBubble™, which provides powerful washing performance by mixing air and water to generate fine detergent bubbles that penetrate fabrics faster and maximize the detergent’s effects even at low temperatures.

Smarter, IoT-enabled Washing Machine for User Convenience

Throughout the washing cycle, QuickDrive™ offers a range of smart and convenient features. The IoT-ready WW8800M boasts an AI-powered laundry assistant called Q-rator, which provides three key smart features that help manage laundry more conveniently.

* Laundry Planner enables consumers to manage a laundry finishing time, freeing consumers to control their schedule on their own terms.
* Laundry Recipe gives automatic recommendations for optimal wash cycles based on the information such as color, fabric type, and degree of soiling inputted by the user, eliminating the need for guessing about which cycle is best.
* HomeCare Wizard monitors the washer by remote, proactively alerting users about potential problems and providing quick troubleshooting support.

The WW8800M also comes with Samsung’s innovative AddWash™, a feature that gives users the ability to add items at any time during the cycle (*2). From a forgotten sock to a delicate item (*3) that needs to go in later in the cycle, AddWash™ even allows users to add detergent or fabric softener at a later time. The combination of the Q-rator and AddWash™ creates a synergistic effect that further enhances the user convenience, simplifying the laundry process.

Designed for Higher Durability and Cost-efficiency

Finally, the WW8800M is designed for long-lasting performance. Equipped with Samsung’s Digital Inverter Technology, the WW8800M reduces noise and helps reduce energy consumption while providing exceptional durability (*4), enabling the washer to maintain its outstanding washing performance and fabric care. Additionally, the WW8800M offers various energy-saving features, including the ability to save up to 50% more on energy than the highest A+++ energy-efficiency standard for a wash cycle. (*5) It also uses a Ceramic Heater+ with a new type of anti-adhesion coating, which ensures up to 55% less scale buildup than conventional ceramic heaters (*6), helping the heater maintain its performance longer with more durability.
Samsung Electronics’ booth will be open at Level 2, City Cube Berlin from September 1 through 6 for IFA 2017.

1) Tested on WW8800M compared with Samsung WW8500K. Saves 50% time on Cotton (40℃, half load) and eCotton cycle with washing performance within ±2%. Saves 20% energy on Cotton (40℃, half load) and Super Speed cycle (40℃, 5kg load), based on Intertek data.
2) The Add Wash door only opens only when the drum temperature is below 50°C.
3) Only fabric items, clothing, detergent and softener can be added.
4) Awarded a 20-year durability certification by the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies in Germany (Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker – VDE).
5) e-Cotton course energy rating based on EU Energy Label standard.
6) Tested on Ceramic Heater+ compared with Samsung’s original conventional heater of WF60F4E0N0W/ET, based on independent testing of weight variation in hard water.

Samsung Electronics today used its presence at IFA 2017 in Berlin to showcase its latest consumer products and innovative technology that are helping make the impossible tomorrow’s ‘new normal’. During its press conference, held at Tempodrom in Berlin, Samsung highlighted its focus on the craftsmanship and connectivity of its products, along with partnerships that are enabling its technology to rapidly set new standards.
“Samsung’s innovation is inspired by consumers and designed to make an immediate difference,” said David Lowes, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung Electronics Europe. “This innovation is based on craftsmanship, clever connectivity and championing the impossible. As technology increasingly plays a role in every part of our lives, we’re creating products and services that adapt to consumers and set the tone for what becomes their ‘new normal’.”

New Lifestyle Standards in Visual Display

Samsung continued to revolutionise the visual display industry at IFA 2017, with the release of a new 43-inch version of The Frame that was first unveiled earlier this year. Previously available in 55- and 65-inch sizes, the design-led TV experience is the ideal fit for the living room or other sized rooms in the home.
Samsung has partnered with leading galleries and museums such as the LUMAS, Saatchi Art, and Sedition to further enhance The Frame as an art-centric device within the home. Samsung also announced a new partnership with the Prado museum, as well as plans to acquire approximately 1,000 prominent art pieces that can be enjoyed in The Frame’s Art Store in near future. Users will be able to choose from an expanded selection of art, making the most of their TV even when it isn’t in operation.
In addition to the Art Store, the Samsung Collection of specially curated art pieces and the My Collection feature, which allows consumers to project their own personal images onto the screen, gives consumers even more options to visually customize their space, wherever they choose to place The Frame within the home.
Along with The Frame, Samsung presented plans to expand the QLED TV line-up to Europe, as it continues to grow its leadership within the premium TV market. The Q8F model, a flat version of the curved Q8C model, will be launched in Europe in 55 and 65-inch sizes. This model will be a part of the largest TV line up in Europe, which consists of 14 full QLED TVs, in curved and flat models, ranging from 49-inch to an ultra-large 88-inch.To further amplify its premium line of QLED TVs, Samsung has also entered into a partnership with Panasonic and 20th Century Fox to proliferate HDR 10+ technology. In the months to come, Samsung will continue to expand partnerships to include Hollywood studios, content providers, and game developers.
Samsung also introduced the world’s largest QLED gaming monitor – the CHG90, which measures 49-inches, with a 178-degree ultra-wide viewing angle. The CHG90 offers a full and immersive view of gaming action, expanding the visual capabilities of a gaming monitor without sacrificing speed.

The Craftsmanship for Meaningful Innovation in Appliances

Samsung’s new home appliances introduced at IFA 2017 are designed with a single aim in mind: to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives with brilliant innovations they come to rely on.
For example, the need to design around real-life problems was displayed with the launch of Samsung’s new washing machine with QuickDrive™ technology. Samsung’s QuickDrive™ technology cuts washing time by half and energy use by 20 percent*, offering consumers the time-saving solution, without compromising washing performance. Its unique Q-DrumTM consists of a large main drum and a plate in the back that rotates independently. Unlike conventional washers that move clothes repeatedly up and down over the course of the cycle, the QuickDrive™ moves clothes from top to bottom in the drum but with an added dimension. The plate in the back of the drum introduces a back and forth movement, making a dynamic action powered by double forces that quickly and gently remove dirt to deliver an intense and complete wash cycle.
Samsung introduced the innovative concept called AddWashTM at IFA in 2015, which allows users to add clothes to a washing machine during an active cycle. QuickDrive™ takes innovation one step further by offering a new level of convenience and performance. This is the type of technology that Samsung says will eventually become the “new normal” – technology we soon will be unable to live without.
In line with the key theme of Craftsmanship, Samsung also revealed the POWERstick PROTM cordless vacuum cleaner. Providing the ultimate cleaning solution, the POWERstick PROTM guarantees powerful cleaning performance, easy maintenance and a long-lasting battery. It features an industry-leading 150 watts of suction power and 40-minutes of battery time—twice as long as traditional batteries—with a battery lifespan of five years. It also boasts Flex Handle that folds up to 50 degrees, letting users clean hard-to-reach spaces, such as the below furniture, with less effort.
Samsung will also expand the voice capability of its Family Hub refrigerator to countries in Europe on a phased basis this year, starting with British English, German, French, and Italian. Family Hub will also be integrated with Samsung Connect, letting users control a wide variety of IoT-ready smart appliances regardless of their operating system.

Cleverly Connected for Life on the Move

The new normal for wearable technology isn’t just an activity tracker that counts your steps – it’s about enhanced connectivity to deliver an entire wellness manager and make our lives healthier. At IFA 2017, Samsung unveiled three new wearable devices.
The versatile smartwatch, the Gear Sport, takes on board the functionality that users want from a fitness gadget today. It is packed with features for people who see no boundary between their life and their wellness. It includes built-in GPS, run-pacing features and nutrition tracking.
With a focus on connectivity, the ever-growing connected ecosystem also brings about the need for more control. The Gear Sport can control the Samsung IoT-enabled devices, act as a remote control for a PowerPoint presentation or Samsung Gear VR, and pay for goods via Samsung Pay (NFC Only).
Samsung also launched the Gear Fit2 Pro – an advanced GPS fitness band. It features a curved 1.5” Super AMOLED display and is able to track various activities – whether on land or in the pool. For the new swimming capabilities, Samsung partnered with swimming expert Speedo to create Speedo On, the first Speedo wearable app that accurately tracks pool exercises. Everything from measuring the number of strokes or lap times, to tracking which stroke the user is doing is all possible on the 5ATM certified** Gear Sport and Gear Fit2 Pro with the Speedo app.
Daily activity can be supplemented with updated Under Armour and Spotify partnerships. Both devices provide access to Under Armour’s fitness apps including Under Armour Record™, MyFitnessPal®, MapMyRun® and Endomondo™ for activity, nutrition, sleep and fitness tracking functions – these apps provide users with a holistic picture of their health and fitness. The Gear IconX (2018) cord-free earbuds complete the line-up of wearable devices launched by Samsung at IFA 2017.

Leading the Standardization of IoT Technologies; Convergence with HARMAN

Samsung has been leading the standardization of global IoT technologies as a diamond member of the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF). Samsung is the first in the industry to receive the OCF certification for its smart TVs, Family Hub refrigerators and air conditioners, and intends to expand the certification to all of its home appliances throughout the year.
The OCF certification will allow for open compatibility between the different products of member companies. In addition to Samsung, more than 390 companies have joined the OCF, with 20 billion IoT products to be synchronized with the OCF standard in three years.
Samsung’s ongoing partnership with HARMAN is also fortifying its big picture for the new normal. Following six months of partnership, Samsung is now the global leader in connected car technology, with more than 50 million cars on the road worldwide powered by HARMAN and Samsung technology.
The partnership is focused on creating audio and visual experiences that just a short while ago, would have been considered impossible. For example, Samsung’s new HDR LED screen for cinemas, measuring more than 10 meters or 34 feet across, delivers unrivalled picture quality and is brought to life by the audio technology of HARMAN Professional Solutions, together with Samsung AudioLab. The powerful combination of Samsung and HARMAN aims to reinvent both mobility and entertainment, taking the new and making it normal.
Samsung Electronics’ booth will be open at Level 2, City Cube Berlin from September 1 through 6 for IFA 2017.

DisplayMate: Samsung Galaxy Note 8 обладает лучшим в мире дисплеем



Эксперты независимой компании DisplayMate, оценивающей качество визуальных панелей, назвали фаблет Galaxy Note 8 обладателем лучшего экрана на мобильном рынке. Впервые в истории специалисты присвоили ему классификацию A+. Это наивысший рейтинг, которого когда-либо удостаивался смартфон.
Дисплеи южнокорейского техногиганта удостаиваются высших оценок на протяжении уже нескольких лет. Например, весной 2017 изогнутая OLED-панель флагмана Galaxy S8 была признана лучшей среди современных смартфонов.
Прорывом в Note 8, по мнению экспертов DisplayMate, проводивших самые жёсткие тесты, стала возможность существенно повысить яркость экрана. Этот параметр оказался на 22% выше, чем у Galaxy S8. А когда включена функция Automatic Brightness (установка автоматической яркости), уровень максимальной яркости дисплея может быть ещё более внушительным. Это означает, что даже если вы окажетесь в пустыне под палящим солнецем, изображение на экране Note 8 будет хорошо различимо.
В сравнении с Galaxy S8, фаблет Samsung Galaxy Note 8 обладает большей нативной цветовой гаммой, более точным отображением цветов и широкими углами обзора. Также в DisplayMate отметили улучшения, сделанные Samsung в чипе обработки изображений, аппаратный энергосберегающий режим и общий прирост производительности устройства.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Has the Best Smartphone Display Ever Tested, Says DisplayMate 

Samsung once again grabbed thousands of eyeballs when it unveiled its second flagship, the Galaxy Note 8 last week. The Galaxy Note 8 features a stunning 6.3-inch super AMOLED QHD+ display with a resolution of 1440x2960 pixels with a 18.5:9 ratio. Now DisplayMate, the display calibration and testing firm, has rated the Galaxy Note 8's display to be the best smartphone display it has ever tested.
DisplayMate has said in its report that the smartphone's 24-bit display uses a flexible-substrate OLED technology. The most notable property of Galaxy Note 8's display is its brightness that can hit a maximum of 1,200 nits, which is almost 22 percent brighter than the Galaxy S8 smartphones.
Samsung Note 8's display has also been found to sport a panel that utilises PenTile-type display matrix for subpixels, which Samsung likes to refer to as 'Diamond Pixel' due to their shape. The near bezel-less design comes as an icing on the cake, making the Galaxy Note 8 produce a wide colour gamut dispersed over a greater display proportion. The smartphone comes preloaded with four colour modes that users can choose as per their preference - first one is Basic that plainly reproduces standard sRGB colours, while the other three are customised modes, namely Adaptive Display, AMOLED Cinema, and AMOLED Photo. DisplayMate says in its report that the default mode is going to be sufficient for most of the users for media consumption.
The DisplayMate report further elaborates that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 display supports a larger native colour gamut, a user-adjustable white-point, better colour accuracy and reproduction, improved viewing angles, a new hardware-based always-on implementation, improved auto-brightness setting, better power saving modes, along with the certification for Mobile HDR Premium, which is a result of the UHD alliance normally given to the big screen appliances like 4K televisions. The Galaxy Note 8's native colour gamut can produce up to 112 percent of the DCI-P3 space, which is ultimately responsible for enriching the colours more accurately when the smartphone is being used in high ambient light/ outdoors, coupled with the record 1,200 nits of peak display brightness needed for HDR.
As for the milestones that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has set in the display department, DisplayMate says it has the largest native colour gamut with over 141 percent sRGB reproduction. The display has the highest peak display brightness maxed out at 1,240 nits; the highest contrast rating in the ambient light (270); highest screen resolution of 1440x2960 pixels reaching the 3K resolution; highest contrast ratio; the lowest screen reflectance, and the smallest screen brightness (29 percent) variation with viewing angles.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is already up for pre-orders in some select countries in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Australia while the shipping will start on September 15. In the US, the smartphone will retail at almost $960 on Verizon, while other telecom companies are sweetening the deal with discounts and other offers.
