India gets Samsung smart TVs

Deccan Herald reports.

Samsung Electronics VP and head, Audio-Visual Business, Consumer Electronics, Raj Kumar Rishi said: “The ES8000 will be launched in India next month, which would be priced at Rs 2 70 000 and will contain 440 applications relevant to India like imasti for regional language movies, games, lifestyle, etc.”

News Point says the user can control the television's settings through voice or motion commands while watching.

The ES8000 is the first upgraded model of the series, which is available with its add-on Smart Evolution Kit to enhance the features served in the television.

Smart Evolution Kit is essentially a proprietary system-on-chip technology that includes all new hardware and software enhancements so consumers can upgrade their TVs easily, Phil Star notes.

“The TV is now a family member. Our new flagship smart TVs understand the viewer using the new recognition technologies for face, voice and motion,” says Ariel Arias, Samsung Philippines' Audio-Visual Business Unit head.
