Samsung Expands Its Smart Laundry Offerings With Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo

* First all-in-one Vented Combo in its class can wash and dry a full load in just 68 minutes

Samsung Electronics today announced the addition of the Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo1 — an All-in-One Washer and Electric Dryer with a 7-inch AI Home touchscreen – to its lineup of Bespoke AI Laundry appliances. The combined unit eliminates the need to transfer laundry between washing and drying, while also bringing fast drying performance and intelligent functionality that makes laundry remarkably convenient.

Samsung has continued to innovate in the laundry room to offer consumers a wide array of washer and dryer models for spaces of all sizes and layouts. The Bespoke AI Laundry Ventless Combo was a standout in 2024, as it raised the bar for all-in-one washer-dryers by eliminating the common performance sacrifices associated with the format. The new Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo builds on its innovation and success, giving consumers another stylish and convenient space-saving option.

“At Samsung, our mission is to create smart home solutions that make life easier, more efficient and more sustainable, elevating home space to the next level in both performance and style,” said Jeong Seung Moon, EVP and Head of R&D Team for Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “The Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo brings exceptional time-saving efficiency to the laundry room in a compact all-in-one solution.”

Convenient, Time Saving Functionality

The Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo is a powerful model that washes and dries clothes completely in a single machine in just 68 minutes2 when using the Super Speed cycle. Its roomy 5.3 cu. ft. Ultra Capacity drum lets users do more laundry in a single load, and its vented design uses the internal heater and fan to move hot air through clothes and vent out moisture, ensuring clothes are always dried quickly and thoroughly. For even more convenience, the Vented Combo can simply swap out the currently installed washer and electric vented dryer.

And with Samsung’s AI Bubble™ technology, users can enjoy clean clothes, cycle after cycle. Water, air and detergent combine to create a cleansing foam that seeps into fabrics for an effective wash. To tackle tough stains without spending time pretreating them, the Steam Wash cycle comes into action. The drum releases steam to thoroughly saturate every item in the load and ensure an effective deep clean.

Effortless Operation

Like the other products in Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry lineup, the Vented Combo automates the process of washing and drying clothes, streamlining laundry routine and making it faster, easier experiences. Its intuitive 7-inch AI Home display is simple to use and gives a quick access to the Combo’s settings for effortless operation. And for those busy moments when the user is multi-tasking or has their hands full, convenient Voice Control capabilities let them give commands to turn the Combo on or off, access settings and more.3

Samsung’s AI Opti Wash & Dry™ technology uses powerful AI sensors to detect soil levels and fabrics, automatically adjusting settings as needed during the cycle to deliver a better wash and dry.4 For added convenience, the Flex Auto Dispense System automatically dispenses up to 47 loads5 of detergent — or users can choose to split the compartment, so it dispenses up to 34 loads of fabric softener and 25 loads of detergent. And when the clothes are finished drying, the Auto Open Door pops open, allowing leftover moisture to evaporate, preventing unpleasant, musty odor so clothes are fresh and dry when taken out.

And with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, users can also get end-of-cycle alerts and remotely start, stop or delay the Combo from their mobile phone, using the SmartThings app.

Innovations To Improve Energy Efficiency

The Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo is engineered for seamless sustainable living. As an ENERGY STAR® Certified washer-dryer, it has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for delivering energy efficiency along with the latest in technological innovation.7

SmartThings Energy allows them to monitor power consumption and estimate their monthly electricity bill for improved control over their energy usage.8 They can also turn on AI Energy Mode9 to have the Vented Combo automatically optimize its energy consumption and reduce usage by up to 30%.10 The Vented Combo is also equipped with Samsung’s Less Microfiber™ cycle setting, which allows users to gently clean synthetic textiles while reducing 39% of microfibers released into the ocean.11

Availability and Pre-Orders

Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo comes in two premium colors — Dark Steel and Brushed Black for the U.S. consumers. Only the Brushed Black is available in Canada and the Dark Steel in Mexico. For those who prefer the ventless version, the Bespoke AI Laundry Ventless Combo with Heat Pump is available in Dark Steel.

The Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo is now available for pre-order in the U.S. and will be available in Canada and Mexico in 2Q of 2025.

Magniflex Expands Its Luxury Sleep Portfolio With Riposo Orthopedic Mattress

~ Comprehensive Answer to Orthopedic Concerns and Improved Sleep Well-being ~

Magniflex India, a leader in premium sleep solutions, introduces the Riposo Orthopedic Mattress, expertly designed to deliver superior comfort and support by evenly distributing body weight. This mattress addresses the orthopedic concerns by providing targeted support that helps maintain spinal alignment, reduces pressure points, and minimizes sleep disturbances. Engineered with advanced technology, it promotes proper posture, and enhances overall sleep quality. With this launch, Magniflex India reaffirms its commitment to revolutionizing sleep quality with innovation and premium craftsmanship.

With a remarkable 63-year legacy rooted in Italian craftsmanship, Magniflex continues to set new benchmarks in sleep innovation by making luxury sleep experiences more accessible than ever.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Anand Nichani, Managing Director, Magniflex India, said, “At Magniflex, we believe that understanding sleep's profound impact on health is essential. Our newly launched Riposo Orthopedic Mattress has been crafted and designed to address the rising sleep concerns, providing structured, firm support that complements unparalleled comfort, ensuring optimal posture alignment and a restorative sleep experience. He further added, “We are also dedicated to promoting sleep literacy among consumers, empowering them to identify the right sleep solutions tailored to their individual needs. Our aim is to expand into key markets, making our high-quality mattresses accessible to a broader audience while reinforcing our promise to elevate sleep wellness to new standards of excellence.”

Shedding light on the evolving lifestyle and rising bone and joint health concerns, V. Muthu Kumar, Head Physiotherapist, Stride Spine & Sports Rehab added “Recent studies reveal that nearly 60% of Indians are at risk of spine-related issues, with 48% suffering from low back pain. Given that each individual has a unique body type, traditional bedding solutions often fall short in delivering the essential support needed for restorative sleep. This underscores the critical importance of investing in orthopedic mattresses, which are designed to provide superior support, ensuring proper musculoskeletal alignment while alleviating pressure on key body areas. Upgrading to a high-quality orthopedic mattress is more than just an investment in comfort; it represents a commitment to advanced innovation and health, ultimately enhancing overall well-being for everyone.”

Currently, Magniflex operates through a network of six franchises and an extensive dealer network spanning 80 stores across India.

Meta Launches New AI-Powered Ad Tools To Boost Sales For Ecommerce And Retail Businesses

Meta has announced new tools that can help drive growth and incremental performance gains for e-commerce and retail businesses. As growth for e-commerce as an industry gets fueled in India on the back of Quick Commerce and the rise of online shopping in tier-2 and tier-3 towns, these new ad tools and features could further turbocharge growth for businesses in the sector. 

Among the tools being launched is omnichannel ads, which allow advertisers to show ads that highlight nearby locations to people most likely to shop in-store. Meta is expanding access to omnichannel ads to more advertisers, adding the ability to guide people to the nearest store with products in stock, and surfacing discounts that can make it even more enticing for shoppers to visit a store. Initial testing showed that advertisers that used omnichannel ads had a 15% lower media omnichannel CPA and a 12% higher media ROAS when compared to their business as usual campaigns. 

Meta recently held Meta Marketing Summit E-Commerce Edition to throw light on the emerging trends in the e-commerce space in India. The summit was attended by leading marketers across Mumbai and Bangalore.

Said Meghna Apparao, Director of Ecommerce and Retail vertical for Meta in India, “E-commerce and retail is witnessing a material shift in India driven by more offline retail brands reaching customers online, quick commerce continuing to grow rapidly, and online shopping in tier-2 and tier-3 markets continuing to accelerate. While AI-powered personalization and discovery, Reels and creators, and messaging have already unlocked immense value for the e-commerce and retail brands, Meta’s continued thrust on innovative ad tools for the sector is going to prove pivotal for its growth, enabling brands to create impactful shopping experiences and deliver on business outcomes that matter most to them.”

Retail brands with offline store presence that deploy omnichannel strategies are likely to gain most from omnichannel ads. For instance, apparel brand Taneira has leveraged Omnichannel Optimization ads and seen strong business outcomes. 

Said Aishwarya Omprakash, Head of Marketing, Taneira, "In our pilot campaign utilizing Meta’s omnichannel ads, we observed a significant boost in performance, achieving 3.5x higher purchase conversions and 4.3x higher Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) compared to campaigns optimized solely for purchases. This encouraging outcome reinforces the value of a multi-touchpoint strategy, and we’re excited to take this experiment further in the coming year."

Harnessing the power of AI, in the coming months, Meta will also allow advertisers to use Partnership ads and AI-powered Advantage+ catalog ads together.

Partnership ads harness the power of creators by allowing advertisers to run ads with creators, brands and other businesses. India is home to the largest community of Instagram creators in the world and more than 4,000 advertisers in India already use Partnership Ads. 

Ecommerce brands across categories have already unlocked growth for themselves on the back of Partnership Ads. 

Said Pawrush Elavia, Head of Growth at Zepto, “We used the authentic voice of creators to highlight our 10-minute delivery USP for which we leveraged Partnership Ads. The experiment resulted in an 18% lower CAC and a 33% higher CTR when combining Partnership Ads with BAU strategies compared to BAU alone.” 

Meta is also introducing a new optimization that allows its ads system to show additional products from the catalog when promoting a preferred product set with the AI-powered Advantage+ catalog ads. With this feature a fashion brand, for instance, could choose to highlight jackets from their spring collection and give the system the option to serve a dress that a shopper might also be interested in. In initial tests, advertisers saw a 14% increase in ROAS when using this optimization on average. 

Continuing the momentum on AI, Meta is also introducing new Generative AI powered features for ecommerce brands effectively. This half Meta will continue to explore new features including using Gen AI to place clothing on virtual models. By giving customers a better sense of how an item might look and fit, it could help shoppers confidently make a purchase and advertisers create more compelling experiences. Today advertisers can use background generation in Catalog ads and the company is experimenting with more personalized outputs for text generation. This will help advertisers better merchandise their products on Meta platforms and create ad copy that resonates with customers.

Generative AI is already being used by ecommerce companies in India. Quick Commerce giant Big Basket is an early adopter of Meta’s Generative AI ad features. 

Said Anand Bhaskaran, Head of Digital Marketing and Marketing Communications at Big Basket, "We are committed to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to testing new marketing approaches. That's why we were eager to test GenAI-powered catalog ads. The results were great and we are confident this technology will continue to drive efficiency for our business.”

Big Basket leveraged a three-cell test for catalog ads, measuring Background Generation, Image Expansion versus BAU cells. They saw a 2.7% better click-through-rate (CTR) than BAU cell and 3.4% lower cost per install (CPI) than BAU cell.

Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road Successfully Removes Lemon-Sized Tumor With Expert Surgical Care

~ Pott’s Puffy Tumor, a rare and aggressive condition involving an infection of the frontal sinus ~

A 54-year-old man from Anantapur, underwent a successful and complex surgical procedure at Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, to remove a lemon-sized tumor. He was diagnosed with Pott’s Puffy Tumor, a rare and aggressive condition that involves an infection of the frontal sinus. Under the expert care of Dr Susheen Dutt, Senior Consultant - ENT, Cochlear Implant and Skull Base Surgeon, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore, along with Dr Abhishek S, Consultant - Otorhinolaryngology, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore the patient underwent a complex surgical procedure and was discharged after a five-day hospital stay.

The patient, Sham (name changed), a resident of Anantapur, was experiencing a rapidly growing and extremely painful swelling on his forehead, which had expanded to the size of a lemon within just three and a half weeks. Initially, he noticed a gradual swelling between his eyebrows, which soon became intensely painful. Concerned about the progressive nature of the swelling, he sought medical attention in his hometown. After local consultations, he was referred to Fortis Hospital in Bengaluru for further evaluation and advanced treatment.

Upon arrival at Fortis Hospital, a thorough medical evaluation was conducted, including an MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging), to determine if the infection had spread to the brain. The results revealed that the swelling was pressing against the back wall of the frontal sinus, a sinus located in the forehead. While the infection had not yet reached the brain, it posed a significant risk due to the proximity of the sinus to the frontal lobe. Understanding the severity of the case, Dr. Susheen recommended a surgical approach to ensure precise treatment and effective resolution of the condition.

Giving details of the case, Dr Susheen Dutt, Senior Consultant - ENT, Cochlear Implant and Skull Base Surgeon, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore said, “We opted for a combined approach (open and endoscopic), making a precise incision above the forehead to gain better access and ensure complete removal of the infected tissue. We had to ensure that the infection did not breach the thin layer of tissue separating the sinus from the brain. We worked meticulously to clear the infection while safeguarding the brain.”

“In addition to removing the infection, the team performed a frontal sinus obliteration procedure to prevent any future infections. Fat was used to fill the sinus cavity, sealing it off completely. This procedure eliminates the need for further bone reconstruction, as the sinus will not reopen. Over time, the area will heal, and the patient will not require additional surgeries. This approach prevents recurrence and avoids the complications associated with bone reconstruction.”

Mr. Akshay Oleti, Business Head, Fortis Hospitals Bengaluru, said, “At Fortis Hospitals, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care through innovative treatments and personalized patient services. The successful outcome of this case highlights our dedication to addressing complex medical conditions with advanced technology and expert clinical intervention. We are proud to support our patients in their recovery journey and continue to raise the bar in healthcare excellence.”
