Samsung Bespoke AI Combo 2026: updated washer-dryer with 7-inch or 2.8-inch screen

Samsung Bespoke AI Combo 2026 arrives in South Korea

Samsung has unveiled an updated Bespoke AI Combo 2026 washer-dryer in South Korea. The refreshed model features an improved heat exchanger, boosting efficiency and increasing drying capacity by 2 kg. It is now rated for 25 kg of laundry for washing and 20 kg for drying, making it the highest-capacity washer-dryer on the South Korean market.

Updated programmes, including a quicker Quick Course

Samsung has also revised the operating modes. For instance, the fast Quick Course cycle now finishes 10 minutes sooner than the 2025 model and 30 minutes faster than the 2024 version.

Expanded AI features: AI Custom+ and a newer Bixby

AI functions have been broadened as well. The AI Custom+ system assesses the load weight, fabric type, and level of soiling, then automatically selects the most suitable washing and drying settings.

The appliance also comes with an updated Bixby based on a larger language model: the voice assistant understands natural speech and answers user questions.

Auto Open Door+ and two versions with 7-inch and 2.8-inch screens

Another addition is Auto Open Door+, which automatically opens the door once a cycle ends so the laundry can air out and unpleasant odours do not develop.

In Korea, the model is available in two versions: one with a 7-inch screen, as on the previous generation, and a new option combining a rotary control with a 2.8-inch display. An international launch is expected within the year.
