South Korea’s tech giant will also introduce the Samsung Smart Home system, which includes a security function and service connected to cameras, enabling consumers to check whether their family members have arrived home safely.

The Smart Home system will further allow consumers to efficiently manage their home energy such as electricity usage, the company noted.

Users of Samsung’s wearables and smartphones can voice-control their home appliances.

The company is also displaying the world’s first 105-inch bendable UHD TV, which allows consumers to choose whether to watch content on a flat or curved display, offering a high-resolution quality and an immersive atmosphere akin to watching movies in theaters.

The TV comes with the world’s first curved sound bar system, featuring cinema-quality surround sound.
