The interactive and intuitive Samsung Smart TVs that boast of features like voice control, face detection and gesture recognition, recently made their debuts in India. LED variants like the ES8000 and ES7500, Plasma E8000 and EH series televisions are some of the devices that form part of the Smart range.

These displays acquire their intuitiveness from the company’s proprietary Smart Interaction technology which allows users to activate applications, browse the web or search for content without the help of a remote control. The integrated microphones and cameras are responsible for recognizing voices and motions in the foreground. Incorporated with a dual core processor for faster performance, the televisions have been deployed with a simple user interface for better navigation too.

In India too, we have been the first to introduce the latest, innovative technology products such as LED TVs, 3D TVs and now 2012 Smart Television series. Samsung’s 2012 TV and AV strategy rests on three pillars: Smart Interaction, Smart Content, and Smart Evolution, and our 2012 Smart television range exemplifies the same. I am confident that the new Smart television range will help us create new segments and further fuel the growth of the flat panel television market in India,” commented Raj Kumar Rishi, Vice President, AV Business, Samsung India.

Options like Smart Hub, AllShare Play, Family Story with Fitness and Kids attributes amongst others should highly simplify sharing and accessing content.
