Samsung partnered with Disney and Pixar for the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo’s promotion. The company has recently released a new campaign video, celebrating the release of “Inside Out 2,” which is scheduled to open in theaters on June 14.
New collaboration playfully shows how Samsung’s latest laundry features help take the stress out of doing laundry. The video screens how Bespoke AI Laundry Combo takes the frustration out of an everyday household chore.
As anticipation builds for “Inside Out 2” before its global release in theaters on June 14, 2024, the campaign video will run on Samsung’s YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook channels.
The campaign video provides a whimsical look at the emotional roller coaster people can escape if they choose Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ featuring functions such as AI EcoBubble.
“Inside Out 2” introduces new Emotions — including Anxiety, Embarrassment, Ennui and Envy — as main character Riley turns 13 and faces her next set of challenges.

Apple reportedly approved Samsung and LG Display for mass production of iPhone 16 Pro OLED. Following Apple’s approval for the product and mass production, both Korean display manufacturers will soon commence operation at their plants.
The iPhone 16 series will have four models – Standard, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max. Samsung Display will supply OLED for all four iPhone 16 models, however, LG Display will supply OLED for only Pro and Pro Max. China’s BOE may also supply OLEDs for iPhone 16 and 16 Plus.
Last year, LG Display was many months late in grabbing Apple’s approval for the iPhone 15 Pro OLED. This year, Samsung D’s toughest competitor is back in the game, with competition rising in OLED display supply for the two premium iPhone 16 models.
Apple reportedly streamlined some procedures in LG’s OLED production approval process this time. Besides, the report reconfirms that the Pro models could have thinner lower bezels than the iPhone 15 Pro. Other than this, the OLED panels are expected to be the same as the last year.
It’s worth noting that Samsung Display has already got mass production approval for Apple’s iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro series. The company reportedly targeted to ship 155.6 million iPhone OLEDs this year at the end of last year, but the recent annual shipment estimate has fallen to 130 million units.
