Introducing a smarter way to prepare for your next event—weather insights, right where your ticket lives.
The Problem Every Event-Goer Knows
We've all been there. You're heading to an outdoor concert, a weekend football match, or a long-awaited festival. You have your ticket ready in Samsung Wallet. You arrive at the venue—and then it hits you, literally. Rain you didn't plan for. Wind that turns your umbrella inside out. Heat you didn't dress for.
The forecast was out there, sure—buried in a separate weather application you forgot to check. Or maybe you glanced at it last night, but things changed by morning. The truth is, weather information and event details have always lived in two different worlds. Until now.
Meet Weather Forecast in Samsung Wallet
Samsung Wallet is closing the gap between knowing your plans and being prepared for them. With our newest feature—Weather Forecast—real-time weather information is now embedded directly into your ticket details page. No application switching. No guesswork. Just the forecast you need, precisely when and where it matters most.
Powered by The Weather Channel (TWC), one of the world's most trusted weather data providers, this feature automatically pulls the forecast for your event's exact location and time—so you always know what to expect before you step out the door.
How It Works
The Weather Forecast integration is seamless by design. Here's what you'll see when you open a ticket in Samsung Wallet:
• Weather at a Glance. A clean, lightweight widget appears right beneath your event's location details, showing the expected conditions at event start time: temperature, weather icon (sun, rain, snow, storm, and more), and the event location name.
• Forecast for Your Event Time. Not the current weather. The weather when your event starts. Whether it's a 7 PM concert tonight or a Saturday afternoon game three days from now, you'll see the forecast tailored to the moment that matters.
• Severe Weather Alerts. In supported regions (including the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Australia, and South Korea), government-issued severe weather warnings appear directly on the widget. If there's a storm advisory or heat warning, you'll know before you go.
• Full Forecast, One Tap Away. Want the hour-by-hour breakdown? A single tap on the widget opens The Weather Channel's detailed forecast page—giving you the complete picture for the entire day of your event.
Why It Matters
This isn't just a nice-to-have. Weather Forecast on your tickets is a meaningful upgrade to how you experience events:
• Be Prepared, Not Surprised. Know whether to pack an umbrella, grab a jacket, or slather on sunscreen—before you leave the house, not after you arrive.
• Everything in One Place. Your ticket, your venue details, and now your weather forecast—all on one screen. No more bouncing between applications and trying to remember if you checked the right city.
• Timely, Not Intrusive. The weather widget appears automatically one week before your event and stays current with every refresh. It's there when you need it and gone once the event is over. No clutter, no noise.
• Smart Precipitation Tracking. The feature specifically checks for rain and precipitation in the critical window around your event—from 4 hours before through 1 hour after—so you're alerted to the conditions that matter most for getting there and getting home.
Built for the Real World
Life doesn't always go perfectly, and neither do data connections. That's why Weather Forecast is designed with graceful fallbacks at every step:
• No Internet connection? You'll see a clear message that weather data is unavailable—not a blank space or a loading spinner.
• Missing venue location? A simple "Check the weather" link still lets you manually look up conditions.
• API hiccup? A friendly prompt guides you to check the forecast directly on The Weather Channel's site.
• Multi-day event? You'll see the forecast for the start time before the event begins, then current conditions during the event days.
• Event over? The widget disappears automatically. Clean and simple.
Privacy by Design
Here's something you'll appreciate: Samsung Wallet does not use your device's GPS or collect any personal location data for this feature. The forecast is based solely on the event's venue information—the city and location already associated with your ticket. No tracking, no data sharing with third parties. The partner website opens only when you choose to tap. Your privacy stays intact.
Global Reach, Local Precision
Weather Forecast in Samsung Wallet is rolling out across Samsung Wallet markets globally, excluding China. Whether you're attending a K-pop concert in Seoul, a Premier League match in London, or a Broadway show in New York, your ticket now comes with a built-in weather briefing.
More Than Just Tickets: A Vision
While the first release focuses on event tickets and boarding passes, the architecture is built for expansion. Imagine checking the weather for your hotel reservation, your restaurant booking, or your hiking trip—all from within Samsung Wallet. This is the first step toward making Samsung Wallet not just the place where you store your plans, but the place where you prepare for them.
The Bottom Line
Samsung Wallet has always been about convenience—keeping your cards, tickets, and passes in one secure place. With Weather Forecast, it becomes something more: your personal event companion, helping you arrive ready for whatever the sky has in store.
No more arriving drenched. No more shivering in the stands. No more scrambling for weather information across multiple applications. Just open your ticket, check the forecast, and go—confident and prepared.
Weather Forecast in Samsung Wallet—because the best events are the ones you're ready for.
Availability: Rolling out globally starting in late July 2026 with the Samsung Wallet update, excluding China. Powered by: The Weather Channel Supported ticket types: Event tickets and boarding passes, with more coming soon. Severe weather alerts: Available in the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Australia, and South Korea. View the full blog at its source

As the demand for exceptional sound grows, the role of audio devices is evolving. Speakers are no longer confined to simple playback, now acting as sculptural elements that shape the atmosphere of a space, offering not just pristine audio but also striking visual appeal and experiences designed for everyday living as design objects.
Samsung Electronics’ Music Studio, a wireless Wi-Fi speaker, was born from this evolution. Drawing inspiration from an orb and a dot, visual representations of how sound expands, its design stands out as a distinctive presence in any space. Meanwhile, its finely tuned acoustics flood a space with lush, immersive sound, elevating the fundamental value of audio.
▲ Music Studio 5 (left) and Music Studio 7 (right) feature an object-inspired design that visualizes how sound expands to complete the aesthetics of a space. Samsung Newsroom spoke with Jongmin Kim of the Product Planning Group, Jongbae Kim of the Sound Lab and Minsun Kang of the Product Design Group — all within the Visual Display (VD) Business Division — to explore how Music Studio redefines the boundaries between sound technology and design.
▲ (From left) Jongbae Kim (Sound Lab), Minsun Kang (Product Design Group) and Jongmin Kim (Product Planning Group), all from the VD Business Division
From Casual Listeners to Immersive Listeners: Tailoring the Listening Experience
The reasons people choose audio devices are more varied than ever, shaped by personal tastes and how they enjoy content. As immersive spatial audio from movies to games becomes a staple beyond just music, more listeners seek products that blend cutting-edge performance with inspired design.
Jongmin Kim explained the thinking behind Music Studio: “We focused on preserving the essence of sound while ensuring the product blends naturally into its surroundings, optimizing the overall user experience.” The decision to introduce two distinct models was based on in-depth consumer analysis. “We identified different needs between ‘casual listeners,’ who enjoy background music in their daily lives and ‘immersive listeners,’ who focus on the finer details of sound and fully engage with content,” Kim added. “Based on this, we differentiated the core value of each model to better serve each listening style.”
▲ Music Studio tailors the listening experience to user preferences, differentiating the core value of each model for optimized everyday use. Collaboration with global partners was also a key factor in expanding the listening experience. “To deliver meaningful value to users, we worked closely with our partners,” Kim said. “As a result, we were able to introduce Spotify Tap — a Wi-Fi-based feature that allows users to start music with a single button press without using a smartphone — to Music Studio for the first time globally, creating a differentiated user experience unique to Samsung audio products.”
Bringing Live-Like Immersion to Everyday Spaces With Music Studio 7
Creating an immersive audio environment requires highly sophisticated sound engineering. Designed specifically for spatial audio, Music Studio 7 underwent nearly two years of development and validation. At its core is a 3.1.1 Channel system that delivers sound in four directions — front, left, right and upward — along with advanced acoustic technologies that precisely control each channel.
▲ Music Studio 7 uses Waveguide and Pattern Control technologies that precisely control sound directivity, delivering immersive spatial audio reminiscent of a live performance. Jongbae Kim emphasized, “To create a sense of space from a single device, it is essential to control each channel so that sounds do not blend together. The ‘Waveguide’ and ‘Pattern Control’ technologies applied to Music Studio 7 are core technologies for spatial audio sound.”
The high-frequency range, which has strong directivity, can be easily controlled using the physical structure of the Waveguide. However, the mid-frequency range, which has relatively longer wavelengths, is difficult to narrow down in directivity using only the Waveguide. Pattern Control is a technology that suppresses specific sound areas using phase control signals. By inputting phase control signals based on Left, Right and Top channels into the front channel, it prevents the directivity of each channel from spreading unnecessarily. This enhances channel separation and delivers a more immersive sense of depth and 3D moving effects, even with a single speaker. Kim explained, “With these technologies, we have made it possible to clearly perceive the precise location and movement of sound using just one speaker.”
▲ With precise acoustic engineering that delivers distortion-free sound at both high and low frequencies, Music Studio 7 produces deep, rich, high-quality audio despite its size. To push performance even further, AI Dynamic Bass Control tackles the low-frequency distortion often found in compact speakers. This technology automatically analyzes and fine-tunes the woofer’s nonlinear movement, delivering deep, powerful bass from a surprisingly small package.
Music Studio 5 Balances Design and Sound Through Refined Aesthetics
Music Studio 5 offers harmonious sound wrapped in sculptural elegance and lifestyle-oriented design. Minsun Kang shared, “One of our biggest challenges was preserving Music Studio’s unique look while making sure it excelled as a speaker.”
A key influence was the collaboration with acclaimed furniture designer Erwan Bouroullec, which helped define Samsung Audio’s design language. Kang noted, “Blending Bouroullec’s artistic vision with Samsung’s practical approach, we crafted a look that feels at home as part of daily life.” Early on, the team experimented with bold forms to spark creativity, but turning these ideas into a high-performing speaker brought unique technical hurdles in arranging components and perfecting the acoustic structure.
▲ Music Studio 5 features a micro-perforated structure that balances object-like design and acoustic performance within an interior-friendly aesthetic. Kang shared, “To achieve both sculptural refinement and rich sound, we used a micro-perforated design on the front of the product. From afar, it stands out as a striking piece, but up close, its structure reveals the essence of audio.” In recognition of its design brilliance, Music Studio 5 was honored with the Gold Award at the prestigious iF Design Awards 2026. Kang added, “This achievement is the result of close teamwork with Bouroullec and the relentless dedication of our entire design team. We feel a special connection to this product, as it truly captures the meeting point of technology and aesthetics.”
In addition, Samsung’s proprietary Bluetooth audio codec, SSC (Samsung Seamless Codec), ensures stable, high-quality sound even without wires, perfectly uniting sleek design with top-tier performance.
Expanding the Sound Ecosystem With Q-Symphony
Rather than functioning as a standalone device, Music Studio offers an integrated entertainment experience through seamless connectivity and optimized sound synchronization across devices. As a Wi-Fi speaker with fully wireless connections except for power, it offers the flexibility to place it freely throughout the home. Jongmin Kim emphasized, “Regardless of where it is placed, Music Studio delivers sound optimized for the user’s listening environment, whether for music or video content.”
The Q-Symphony feature, which wirelessly connects with Samsung TVs, further enhances this experience. Supporting up to five devices simultaneously — including 2026 Wi-Fi speakers and soundbars — creates a more immersive surround-sound environment without limitations across product types.
Kim explained, “Users can freely configure the system to suit different spaces and use cases — for example, by connecting up to five Music Studio 7 units or pairing a Q-Series Soundbar with four Music Studio speakers. In such a configuration, the system supports up to 19.1.8-channel output, delivering dense, room-filling sound.”
He continued, “Our ultimate goal is to expand connectivity to a wide range of platforms — including partner products, TVs and mobile — so that users can experience optimal sound throughout every moment they engage with content.”
▲ Music Studio 7 (left) delivers immersive spatial audio, while Music Studio 5 (right) offers a refined, object-inspired design — together creating an integrated sound experience through seamless device connectivity. Going beyond the conventional speaker form, Music Studio sets a new standard for both performance and design. Samsung Audio’s innovation continues to enrich everyday spaces with immersive sound and refined aesthetics.

Samsung Electronics recently unveiled its Music Studio series of Wi-Fi speakers at The First Look 2026 in Las Vegas. Designed for spatial harmony and rich sound, the Music Studio 5 and Music Studio 7 were created in collaboration with French designer Erwan Bouroullec. The partnership dates back to The Serif, a TV that won an iF Design Gold Award in 2016 and redefined TV design.
Samsung Newsroom spoke with Bouroullec about the ideas behind the speakers’ design and his collaborative process with Samsung. The following responses have been modified for clarity and brevity.
▲ Music Studio Wi-Fi speakers are exhibited at The First Look 2026.
Orb and Dot: Speakers That Shape the Color of a Space
Q. What inspired the Music Studio design?
▲ The Music Studio design reflects Bouroullec’s orb-and-dot concept. Music has the power to surround you and transform your mood and emotions. I see music and sound as air and light: they’re an essential part of a room’s atmosphere. They can change the mood — even the “color” of a space. To me, that was the best place to begin: an essential form to visualize sound.
I first drew symbols with an orb and a dot in the middle because this was inherently the skeleton of a “traditional” speaker. And then the forms came together. A moon-shaped orb would immediately connect the device to the idea of sound and music. Dots would visualize sound through time.
Of course, whether or not the language resonates depends on one’s imagination and cultural background. But I am happy with the way I was able to express my interpretation of sound and music. It was a joy to build a visual environment that enhances the symbolic and sculptural nature of Music Studio — defined by its orb and the dot at its center.
A Symphony of Design and Engineering
Q. How was the experience of collaborating with Samsung on an audio product?
Design is a practice that must go hand in hand with engineering. So of course Music Studio was conceived through a close dialogue between design and engineering. Based on my ideas, I first provided a form that engineering could build on. Then there has been a process of pure morphological transformation.
Because Samsung engineers have a deep, grounded knowledge in sound and technology, the process of developing the form into a product was very pleasant. The engineers’ ideas based on their expertise were inspiring, even.
Music Studio’s circular orb form, inspired by the origins of loudspeakers, connects directly to the geometry of sound. Refined through engineering, the shape evolved to enhance the acoustics while preserving its pure, sculptural presence.
▲ Bouroullec collaborated with Samsung on the Music Studio lineup. In the end, the idea wasn’t compromised. Instead, it naturally evolved into a better form that enabled clearer sound and deeper bass. I am a creative person; my instruments are production tools, my notes are materials and my songs are everyday objects. If I were a musician, Samsung would be the most powerful orchestra I could ever play with.
Harmony: Connecting Sound and Space, Past and Present
Q. How do you feel about the final product and its fit in users’ spaces?
I aimed to convey an essential elegance through design. Designed to integrate naturally into any interior, Music Studio is a timeless and enduring companion for everyday life. In terms of form factor, a sturdy metal mesh front houses the speakers with precision, expressing honesty and function.
▲ The Music Studio 5 (left) and Music Studio 7 blend into a range of living spaces, connecting sound to space and familiar experiences with new features. Design always builds on conventions and widely accepted symbols that have been refined over decades — sometimes over centuries. On the other hand, technology evolves and so does the way we use the devices.
So a key factor I focused on was to create a design that is both fresh enough to signal a new era in audio and pure enough to seamlessly integrate into various environments. Being “pure” means that Music Studio is easily connectable to the history of speakers. Being “fresh” means that it is able to incorporate new ways of experiencing audio content — like the addition of playlists and podcasts.
In the end, I believe the design language of Music Studio has a simplicity to it that enables it to blend with older functionalities and patterns while heralding newer and more contemporary experiences.
About the Music Studio Series
Introduced at The First Look 2026, Samsung’s Music Studio 5 and Music Studio 7 Wi-Fi speakers incorporate technology from Samsung’s Audio Lab and offer connectivity for Wi-Fi casting, streaming services, voice control and Bluetooth via Samsung Seamless Codec. Available in black and white, the models can be used as standalone speakers or paired with additional units or Samsung TVs via Q-Symphony for wider stereo sound or a full surround-sound setup.
About Erwan Bouroullec
Erwan Bouroullec, born in 1976, began his design career after studying contemporary art in Paris. He and his brother, Ronan, founded a design studio in 1999 and have since worked with brands including Vitra, Alessi, Kartell, Magis and Hay. Known for an emphasis on simplicity, functionality and natural aesthetics, Bouroullec’s work reflects a minimalist approach.
