SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 May 2025 – Samsung Electronics Singapore unveiled its highly anticipated 2025 lineup of AI-powered TVs and soundbars at the Unbox & Discover event. Redefining home entertainment, the new range introduces the groundbreaking Samsung Vision AI. This transforms the way users interact with their screens, delivering deeply personalised and immersive experiences, and placing the TV at the heart of the connected smart home.
The 2025 lineup is headlined by the flagship Samsung Neo QLED 8K and Samsung Neo QLED 4K TV series. These new offerings bring stunning visuals and immersive sound, and are the first to feature Samsung Vision AI1 with smarter, adaptive features that reimagine what Samsung TVs can do.
“At Samsung, we believe that the best innovations come from truly listening to our customers and understanding how they live their lives. We know that our consumers in Singapore value technology that feels more personal and intuitive. That is exactly what we set out to do with our 2025 lineup of AI-powered TVs,” said Patrick Khor, Head of Department, TV & Audio, Samsung Singapore. “Powered by our most advanced processors and Samsung Vision AI, our TVs have now become intelligent companions that adapt and learn your preferences, suggest content that matches your mood, while seamlessly connecting your smart home through SmartThings. Through technology, we are creating experiences that enrich the moments that matter most to families in Singapore.”
Samsung Vision AI Enabling Smarter, More Personal Screen Experiences
Samsung Vision AI represents the next step in Samsung’s journey to deliver intelligent, intuitive, and seamless screen experiences, and will be integrated across the 2025 range of Neo QLED, QLED, OLED, and The Frame models.
With the ability to make your Samsung TV aware of its surroundings, adaptive to user preferences and autonomous in delivering intuitive features, Samsung Vision AI transforms the brand’s 2025 AI TVs into smart companions that enhance entertainment, simplify interactions, and seamlessly integrate into connected lifestyles.
At the core of Samsung Vision AI are intelligent and personalised features which redefine how users interact with their screen and engage more deeply with their favourite content. Generative Wallpaper2 transforms screens into dynamic, personalised art canvases, allowing users to make images that perfectly match their taste or occasion. Own a Galaxy Watch? Universal Gestures3 lets you control your TV through your smartwatch – with simple hand motions like rotating the watch bezel to scroll the screen or making a fist to return to a previous menu.
Looking beyond personalisation, Samsung’s 2025 AI TVs come equipped with a built-in SmartThings Hub, transforming the TV into a central hub for smarter living through integration with the SmartThings ecosystem, as well as new SmartThings4 features that simplify and enhance daily life.
- SmartThings Energy offers insights into energy consumption patterns, promoting efficient energy use throughout the home.
- Family Care5 enhances comfort by automatically adjusting room settings, like dimming the lights when a child falls asleep, while providing real-time updates and recorded events through TVs.
- With Pet Care6, potentially use your TV as a pet-sitting assistant when you are outside. Your TV can detect noises like barking through its microphone, and then automatically turn on your pet’s favourite content.
- Home Insights4 provides notifications from your connected smart devices right on screen, including a 3D Map View that shows information and details of your entire smart home so that you can monitor and manage directly from the TV.
All your favourite apps, services and the latest Samsung Vision AI features are available through One UI Tizen – available now on all of Samsung’s 2025 range of Neo QLED, QLED, OLED, and The Frame models. One UI Tizen introduces a fresh, clean interface that mirrors what you will find on many Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and watches. It also allows your household to create separate profiles and receive curated recommendations tailored to their preferences. Samsung is now offering up to seven years7 of OS upgrades; this extends the longevity of each device, keeping it up to date with the latest features, security enhancements, and performance improvements, so that users’ investments in Samsung Vision AI-powered TVs are truly future proof.
Security is crucial for Singapore households today due to the increasing prevalence of cyber threats, and the need to protect sensitive personal information within households. Samsung TVs are protected by Samsung Knox, a comprehensive security platform that safeguards user data and privacy, with high security standards maintained for the benefit of home users. It helps to shield families from malicious threats by protecting sensitive data like passwords8, monitoring connected IoT devices, blocking phishing websites to protect against malicious sites, and enhancing personal information protection through Samsung Knox Vault. Samsung TVs also receive constant security updates, with a dedicated security team providing regular updates that help keep your TV safe, for at least 3 years from TV launch9, ensuring your family’s digital safety evolves with emerging threats.
Samsung continues to shape how people experience art at home by expanding access to the Samsung Art Store10, a premium digital platform for fine art exclusively on Samsung Smart TVs. For the first time, the Samsung Art Store will be available on 2025 Samsung Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K, and QLED models11, as well as on The Frame and MICRO LED series, making art from the world’s leading artists, museums, and galleries more accessible that ever. The Samsung Art Store offers access to a vast catalogue of over 3,000 curated works from prestigious global partners, including MoMA and the estates of Magritte and Basquiat.

Samsung Vision AI also delivers exceptional advancements in picture and sound quality, making every on-screen moment captivating. On-device AI picture and sound technologies analyse content and environmental factors in real time, dynamically adjusting visuals and audio for an optimised experience.
The flagship Neo QLED 8K QN990F is Samsung’s most advanced TV to date, powered by the NQ8 AI Gen3 Pro processor12, leverages a suite of on-device AI features to enhance picture quality, sound clarity and overall viewing experience.
8K AI Upscaling Pro13 elevates lower-resolution content up to stunning 8K quality, ensuring incredible detail and clarity in every frame. Motion Xcelerator 240Hz14 ensures blazing fast motion clarity for gaming and sports, while AI Motion Enhancer Pro15 smooths the motion of fast-moving visuals and text, so you can always keep your eye on the ball. Dedicated top-channel speakers power Dolby Atmos sound, while Object Tracking Sound Pro16 provides dynamic, realistic audio that follows the movements on screen – like creepy footsteps in a horror movie or cars zooming around a track.
The QN990F also integrates our award-winning Glare-Free technology, offering stunning 8K visuals across dark and bright rooms. Plus, the all-new Wireless One Connect Box17 is a game changer for cable management, offering a wireless connection between the TV and the external box up to 30 feet away., allowing for cleaner installations and more flexible room setups.
The Samsung 2025 Neo QLED 4K lineup is our most expansive yet, including four model series (QN90F, QN85F, QN80F, and QN70F), all featuring Quantum Matrix Mini LEDs for stellar brightness and accurate colour across every scene.
The flagship QN90F features the upgraded NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor18, which offers improved picture and sound quality.

For gamers, Motion Xcelerator 165Hz14 ensures smooth motion and blazing fast speeds from even the most demanding games. Together, these upgrades make the S95F our best OLED yet, offering a cinematic picture without distractions.
A New Vision of Art: Introducing the Frame Pro
Samsung is strengthening its commitment to seamlessly blending art and technology with the launch of The Frame Pro, a new addition to the iconic Frame lineup.

A New Dimension of Sound with AI
To accompany the stunning 2025 AI TV lineup, Samsung has introduced a new range of soundbars that combine state-of-the-art hardware with intelligent AI-driven features, designed to elevate home entertainment with unparalleled sound.
As the successor to the highly acclaimed HW-Q990D, the HW-Q990F takes home audio to new heights. It features newly engineered dual active subwoofers that deliver robust bass and ultra-low-frequency precision. Plus, a new cube design reduces the subwoofers to half the size of its predecessor, minimising resonance and blending flawlessly into modern interiors with a refined serrated finish.
The HW-Q990F delivers advanced AI-driven sound optimization through features such as Dynamic Bass Control which enhances clarity in low-frequency ranges by utilizing non-linear bass management for balanced and distortion-free sound. Q-Symphony immerses the user in 3D surround sound by detecting the position of wireless speakers like the Music Frame and automatically optimising audio effects based on its distance and angle. In this mode, the HW-Q990F uses the Samsung TV’s Neural Processing Unit (NPU) to make dialogue clearer and to deliver more immersive, synchronised audio. Active Voice Amplifier Pro provides real-time content analysis that reduces background noise and emphasises dialogue for an enhanced viewing experience.
The HW-QS700F offers even more versatility in home audio with its sleek design and innovative gyro-sensor technology. Suitable for both wall-mounted and tabletop setups, this soundbar adapts to the user’s space. Its built-in gyro-sensor can automatically detect whether it is positioned vertically or horizontally, fine-tuning the audio output to ensure optimal clarity and immersive sound in any configuration.

GoTyme Bank becomes the first digital bank in the Philippines to enable Apple Pay, expanding secure and seamless digital payments for 10 million customers
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 August 2026 – Paymentology, the leading global issuer processor, today announced the successful launch of Apple Pay for GoTyme Bank in the Philippines. Through this launch, GoTyme becomes one of the first issuers in the Philippine market to enable Apple Pay, giving 10 million customers an easy, secure and private way to pay using their Apple devices.
As one of the country’s fastest-growing digital banks, GoTyme continues to accelerate its digital payments strategy by expanding secure, seamless and convenient payment experiences for Filipino consumers. Customers can now securely add their GoTyme debit card to Apple Wallet and make contactless payments in stores, within apps and online wherever Apple Pay is accepted.
Apple Pay uses industry-leading tokenisation technology, meaning card numbers are never stored on devices or shared with merchants. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, with every transaction authenticated through Face ID, Touch ID or a device passcode, providing an additional layer of security while delivering a fast, frictionless checkout experience.
Nate Clark, President and CEO at GoTyme Bank commented: “At GoTyme Bank, we’re constantly looking for ways to make banking simpler, safer and more rewarding for our customers. Bringing Apple Pay to GoTyme Bank customers in the Philippines gives them an easy and secure way to pay wherever they shop while continuing to earn rewards points on all their transactions. This is another step in our commitment to making everyday banking more beautiful and convenient for our customers.
The launch comes as digital payments continue to reshape the Philippine economy. According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), digital payments now account for more than half of all retail payment transactions, as consumers increasingly embrace mobile-first banking and contactless payments. Meanwhile, smartphone penetration continues to rise, supporting growing demand for digital wallets and tokenised payment experiences. As digital commerce accelerates, enabling secure mobile payments through services such as Apple Pay is becoming an increasingly important differentiator for financial institutions.
Minh-Ha Truong, Head of Growth, APAC at Paymentology, added: “As a long-standing partner to GoTyme, we’re proud to support another significant milestone in its growth journey. Bringing Apple Pay to market demonstrates how modern, cloud-native issuer processing enables digital banks to rapidly deliver innovative payment experiences while maintaining the highest standards of security, scalability and performance. Together, we’re helping shape the future of digital payments in the Philippines.”
The launch further strengthens GoTyme’s position as one of Southeast Asia’s leading digital banks and highlights the value of Paymentology’s cloud-native issuer processing platform in helping banks and fintechs rapidly introduce innovative payment capabilities that meet evolving customer expectations.
