At the Samsung Developer Conference 2023 (SDC23) today, Samsung executives unveiled the company's vision for smarter everyday living enabled by leading platforms and services. With a vast ecosystem of over 600 million account users and 500 million+ products sold annually, Samsung aims to enrich customer experiences through key apps and devices.
“We are building experiences that promote the whole family’s well-being by keeping us all connected during the busyness of everyday life,” said Jaeyeon Jung, Executive Vice President and Head of SmartThings, Device Platform Center at Samsung Electronics.
The event highlighted the enhancements made to SmartThings, Bixby, and Knox. SmartThings will now offer expanded interoperability and access to a wider range of connected services. Bixby, on the other hand, will become more intuitive, responding to user preferences and seamlessly directing commands across devices.
To ensure cross-device security, Samsung is introducing solutions like Knox Matrix, passkeys, and Knox Vault. These measures include encryption and biometric authentication, which will be expanded across product lines.
Samsung is also revamping its Tizen operating system for next-generation devices, focusing on open innovation and a unified SDK (Software Development Kit) to support developers. The new Tizen features will enhance TV viewing with innovations like Samsung Gaming Hub, Chat Together, and improved accessibility features.
One UI 6 will further expand the Galaxy ecosystem, offering enhanced usability, AI-powered intelligent photo editing, and a refreshed look. Additionally, Samsung is forging partnerships to build a connected digital health ecosystem, providing new SDKs and collaborating on research.
Food AI innovations will enable smarter cooking and eating through the Samsung Food app, integrating software and hardware to bring value across Samsung appliances.
In summary, Samsung's goal is to redefine hyper-connected living by leveraging partnerships within its extensive ecosystem of accounts, devices, and services. SDC23 provided a glimpse into the future of automated, intelligent everyday experiences. With these advancements, Samsung is poised to shape the future of technology and revolutionize the way we live.
