Designing for Everyone: How Samsung Embeds Accessibility at the Heart of Innovation
At Samsung, innovation begins with empathy. On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we pause to reflect on a simple yet powerful idea: technology should be for everyone. Inclusive technology that helps individuals with disabilities achieve their goals.
Whether it is a refrigerator that anticipates your needs, a smartwatch that recognises your voice, or a television that listens and responds, our goal remains unchanged. We are creating meaningful experiences for everyone, regardless of ability.
We prioritize accessibility in our products by addressing vision, hearing, mobility, and cognitive needs, ensuring that everyone has an equitable experience.
Accessibility is a Design Principle
At Samsung, accessibility is a design principle. It is a lens through which we approach innovation. From the nascent stages of product development, Samsung designers and engineers work hand-in-hand with users with diverse abilities.
This philosophy guides everything—from tactile buttons on remote controls to AI voice assistance in our home appliances.
Led by its “AI for All” vision, Samsung continues to develop smart home appliances that are intuitive and convenient for diverse home environments. These accessibility features are designed to make appliances easier to use for individuals with disabilities and older adults, reflecting the company’s commitment to inclusive design.
Intelligence That Understands and Adapts
The Bespoke AI Double Door Refrigerator, for instance, uses advanced AI to learn routines and preferences, reducing effort and enhancing usability for everyone, including those with mobility or cognitive challenges. It’s about designing appliances that not only respond but anticipate. Samsung appliances enhance everyday living by offering accessibility, adaptability, and aesthetic design, all at once.

The Galaxy Ecosystem
Inclusive by Design, the Galaxy wearable ecosystem, accessibility and AI go hand-in-hand. From gesture controls to real-time voice feedback and customizable touch interactions, these devices empower users to navigate their world more independently—no matter their ability. The launch of Galaxy Ring marks a massive leap in Samsung’s commitment to democratize cutting-edge technology for everyone, helping users turn data into meaningful insights and create a whole new world of expanded, intelligent health experiences. Galaxy Ring is not just another wearable, it’s a revolutionary health-tech device that blends innovation with accessibility.
