In North America, consumers can choose a 4-door telescopic, 1-door column, or 2-door bottom-mounted freezer. Samsung has produced many unique metallic colors for the region, including champagne rose steel, navy blue, and matte black steel.
On the other hand, in Europe, tailor-made products are available in 1 door and 1 door slim type, while the lower-mounted freezer models are 1.8 meters and 2 meters, with six different finishes and a wider color palette, from Classic white to soft pastel and Up. Declare the color.
A Kitchen Packaged for You
The new Bespoke kitchen package is the first global expansion of customized products, surpassing Samsung’s refrigerators, and introducing the concept of customized equipment into the entire kitchen starting from the European and American markets.
The North American company will start later this year to provide a center for the main custom refrigerators and expand to include the custom range, the form of microwave ovens and dishwashers, which are manufactured in exactly the same form as refrigerators.
The packaging allows customers to mix their kitchen aesthetics with their favorite colors, or use matte black steel, navy blue steel, champagne rose steel, and white glass to complete.
Appliances That Plug Right Into Your Lifestyle
Samsung will also launch its expanded lineup of targeted lifestyle equipment in North America and Europe this year, including Bespoke AirDresser, Bespoke Air Purifier, and Bespoke Jet™ Stick Vacuum Cleaner.
As the number of houses doubles and they become offices, gymnasiums, and classrooms, these new custom home appliances meet daily needs by providing greater flexibility, automation, and hygiene.

The unit is available in a range of designs and colors and launches in the U.S. during the third quarter.

Once done vacuuming, the user simply docks the vacuum and it’ll empty and charge on its own.

SmartThings Support Your Connected Life
Samsung’s vision for the Bespoke Home also emphasizes connected living through AI and automation. Driving this vision is Samsung’s SmartThings, which provides users with a centralized and effortless home management platform.

Samsung’s One UI 7 Beta update is currently available for the Galaxy S24 series, bringing a fresh design and new features. However, Beta testers are facing issues with Good Lock as certain Good Lock modules are not working properly after the One UI 7 Beta. Here’s why these apps are not working.
Good Lock app lets Galaxy users change various parts of the phone’s interface, like the lock screen, quick settings, themes, and multitasking features. But with the new One UI 7 Beta, some of its customization features aren’t working as expected. This is because Good Lock modules are not yet fully compatible with the new Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta software.
Samsung has acknowledged these incompatibility issues and confirmed that some popular apps, including Good Lock, are unavailable or not functioning well in the beta phase. This is because the apps need time to be updated for the new software.
Moreover, a Samsung community moderator has assured users that the compatibility issues will be fixed in the stable version of One UI 7, which will be available soon. It means that Good Lock modules will work properly with the stable update.
Notably, the Good Guardian app recently received support for One UI 7. However, it is not confirmed yet whether it works properly with the Beta update. Users can expect a smoother experience once the final update is released.
For now, those using the One UI 7 Beta on their Galaxy S24 should be prepared for some limitations with Good Lock. But once the official One UI 7 update arrives, these issues will be resolved, and users can enjoy the full customization options of Good Lock. Stay tuned for more information.
