Samsung Electronics, the global leader in soundbars, today introduced its 2026 sound device lineup, marking a new chapter in how sound is experienced throughout the home. The expanded range — which will be showcased at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada from Jan. 6-9 — delivers richer immersion, clean expression and more unified multi-device performance through next-generation soundbars and Wi-Fi speakers.
“For more than a decade, Samsung has shaped the evolution of home audio through advanced acoustics, intelligent features and thoughtful design,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’re continuing that legacy with next-generation sound devices designed to deliver a rich, expressive performance for any space and moment.”
Redefining Cinematic Sound With Samsung’s Q-Series Soundbars
Samsung’s 2026 Q-Series soundbars reinterpret cinematic sound for contemporary homes, offering richer immersion across a range of room sizes and listening preferences.
Samsung’s latest flagship Soundbar (HW-Q990H model) delivers its most immersive soundbar experience yet, debuting Sound Elevation, a technology that lifts dialogue toward the center of the screen for more natural sounding audio. It also introduces Auto Volume, which maintains consistent volume across channels and content for a smoother, more balanced listening experience.
The 11.1.4-channel system combines a 7.0.2 main bar, 4.0.2 rear speakers and dual 8-inch driver built-in compact active subwoofer, refined for a powerful and space-efficient bass. Up-firing channels and next-generation AI tuning further broaden the sound field, bringing a sense of scale typically associated with professional home theater setups.
New to the 2026 lineup is Samsung’s All-in-One Soundbar (HW-QS90H model), which blends performance with aesthetic versatility. Its Convertible Fit design supports both wall-mount and tabletop placements, while a built-in gyro sensor automatically adapts channel distribution based on orientation.
A 7.1.2-channel system with 13 drivers — including nine wide-range speakers — and a built-in Quad Bass Woofer system deliver deep bass without the need for a separate subwoofer.
Music Studio Series: Iconic Dor Design, Expressive Sound
Samsung is introducing two new Wi-Fi speakers, the “Music Studio 5” and “Music Studio 7,” to build a stronger integrated ecosystem. These new models enable a wider range of sound system combinations than before, maximizing the audiovisual experience. Additionally, they offer richer sound experiences while also enhancing aesthetic harmony with users’ spaces, allowing users to enjoy an improved audio environment. Each model shares a timeless dot concept by renowned designer Erwan Bouroullec, inspired by a universal symbol in music and art — and grounded in Samsung’s signature aesthetic.
Music Studio 7 (LS70H model) is the most immersive model in the series, delivering 3.1.1-channel spatial audio through left, front, right and top-firing speakers for natural 3D immersion. Samsung’s Audio Lab Pattern Control Technology reduces signal overlap for cleaner directionality, while AI Dynamic Bass Control delivers deep bass with minimal distortion and Hi-Resolution Audio enables audio processing up to 24-bit/96kHz. Also, thanks to the super tweeter, the frequency range can extend up to 35kHz for enhanced musical detail. Available in black and white, it functions as a standalone immersive speaker or can be paired with additional units or Samsung TVs via Q-Symphony for wider stereo or a full surround-sound setup.
Music Studio 5 (LS50H model) is designed for homes where aesthetic harmony is as important as sound, offering a smaller, gallery-inspired form that complements and elevates interior spaces. Tuned by Samsung Audio Lab, it uses a 4” woofer and dual tweeters with a built-in waveguide for clear, balanced sound, while AI Dynamic Bass Control deepens low frequencies without distortion. Wi-Fi casting, streaming services, voice control and Bluetooth via Samsung Seamless Codec provide smart, seamless connectivity.
A More Intelligent, Connected and Immersive Sound Experience
For 11 consecutive years, Samsung has been the global leader in soundbars, driven by a commitment to engineering excellence led by the Samsung Audio Lab in California. This foundation shapes every part of Samsung’s 2026 lineup, bringing together advanced acoustics, purposeful design and intelligent connectivity.
In 2026, Samsung’s Q-Symphony becomes even more adaptive, enabling Samsung TVs, soundbars and Wi-Fi speakers to operate as a unified sound ecosystem. Users can now pair up to five sound devices with a Samsung TV while Q-Symphony analyzes room layout and device placement to optimize channel distribution. The result is clearer dialogue and more detailed surround sound as you are in the middle of the scene.
Additionally, with Wi-Fi connectivity and the SmartThings app, users can control sound settings, manage group playback, and access music streaming and voice assistant features through a single, intuitive interface. SmartThings also provides instant music controls, making it easy to start listening and adjust playback from any connected mobile device.
Samsung’s audio lineup also includes the all-new Sound Tower (ST50F and ST40F models) launched in late 2025, offering powerful outdoor and social listening experiences that complement the Music Studio and Soundbar families. Together, these innovations reflect Samsung’s continued leadership at the frontier of home audio, uniting acoustics, design and intelligence to create a sound experience that feels effortless, expressive and deeply connected.

The Galaxy Watch ecosystem is designed for seamless connection from capturing screenshots that sync automatically to your phone, to sharing what's on your wrist in seconds. This works great for most users.
However, if you’re a developer, tester, or creator who prefers working directly on a computer, there’s a more efficient, hands-on way to capture your Galaxy Watch’s display.
Using Command Prompt (or Windows Terminal) and Android Debug Bridge (ADB), you can directly screen record or capture screenshots from your Galaxy Watch without needing a companion mobile device or any third-party apps. It’s fast, simple, and perfect for creating app demos, tutorials, or development documentation.
Record your Galaxy Watch screen via ADB
Follow these steps to record your Galaxy Watch screen directly from your computer:
Open the Command Prompt and use the cd command to navigate to the platform-tools folder: cd %LocalAppData%/Android/Sdk/platform-tools
Pair and connect your Galaxy Watch to your computer over Wi-Fi. NoteThe link directs you to steps on how to connect the Galaxy Watch to Android Studio, but you can follow the same steps and commands when using the Command Prompt. Enter the command below to start screen recording your watch: adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/record_demo.mp4
This command tells your computer (via ADB) to start recording the screen of your connected Galaxy Watch. Let's break it down piece-by-piece:
adb – connects your computer to the watch or Android device. shell – opens a command-line interface inside the device. screenrecord – starts recording the device's screen. When you run screenrecord, the device starts capturing the display and saves it as a video file (the default format is .mp4). /sdcard/record_demo.mp4 – sets the file path where the recording will be saved on the device and the file name. Stop the recording by pressing CTRL + C.
Transfer the recorded video to your computer: adb pull /sdcard/record_demo.mp4 C:\Destination\Folder\In\Your_Computer
The pull command copies the recording from your watch to your computer.
(Optional) Delete the recording from your watch using the rm command. adb shell rm /sdcard/record_demo.mp4 You now have a recorded video of your Galaxy Watch screen saved directly on your PC, ready for editing or presentation.
Capture screenshots directly from Galaxy Watch to PC
If you only need static images, you can easily transfer screenshots from your Galaxy Watch without using a phone:
Take a screenshot on your Galaxy Watch by pressing the Home and Back buttons simultaneously until you see the screenshot animation.
Locate the screenshot file using ADB shell and copy its filename.
adb shell cd sdcard/DCIM/screenshots ls
NoteYou can also run the simplified version of this command:
adb shell ls /sdcard/DCIM/screenshots/ The ls command lists the screenshots stored on your watch.
Transfer the screenshot to your computer: adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/screenshots/[File_Name].png C:\Destination\Folder\In\Your_Computer
The image is now available on your computer for quick viewing or editing.
Things to keep in mind
This method works best with Galaxy Watches running Wear OS powered by Samsung (Galaxy Watch4 and newer models), as these devices support ADB connections for development and debugging. While this approach is highly effective for capturing screen activity, it has some limitations:
Audio Capture: The screenrecord command records video but does not capture system audio. If you need audio, additional steps or tools may be required. Recording Duration: The recording duration may be limited (typically up to 3 minutes). This restriction can vary depending on the device and ADB implementation. Compatibility: Older Tizen-based Galaxy Watches may not support ADB connections, making this method unsuitable for those devices. Using ADB through Command Prompt provides a direct and efficient way to interact with your Galaxy Watch. Whether you're developing apps, recording demos, or capturing visuals for documentation, these simple commands make it easy to manage your device directly from your computer.

Due to advancements in memory management and performance optimization, Android is transitioning its kernel page size from 4 KB to 16 KB. This change impacts how applications manage memory and requires developers to ensure compatibility, and was addressed in Adding 16 KB page size to Android and Support 16 KB page sizes.
Google Play has also published a blog post (Prepare your apps for Google Play’s 16 KB page size compatibility requirement) asking developers to support 16 KB page sizes in their applications.
Native Code
Applications containing native code must be built to support 16 KB page sizes. Refer to the official Google document for detailed instructions.
Testing Environment
Google Android Emulator provides a testing environment for 16 KB pages.
For real-world testing, Samsung's Remote Test Lab offers a similar environment on actual Samsung devices. See Get Started with Remote Test Lab for Mobile App Testing, a previous Remote Test Lab blog, to check if your application works in a 16 KB page environment. We recommend that you search using the keyword "remote test lab" in the Blog list and look through other posts related to the Remote Test Lab as well.
Understanding 16 KB Page Size
For a general understanding of what a page refers to in the context of an operating system (OS), see Page (Computer memory).
You can think of it as a way of managing DRAM memory in units called pages. For example, if you divide a physical DRAM memory of 32 KB into 4 KB pages, you get 8 pages. If you divide it into 16 KB pages, you get 2 pages. This physical memory is mapped into the virtual address space of each process, and the unit of this mapping is a page. When a process accesses a specific address, it goes through a page table to access the page of the physical memory corresponding to the address. If the page size is increased from 4 KB to 16 KB, allocating and mapping a memory of 16 KB that would have used 4 operations can now be done in just one. This affects not only in-kernel memory management, but also the file system and block layer, ultimately leading to an improvement in performance.
Kernel mmap & Application Change
Understanding the mmap API
In a Linux kernel, user space processes use the mmap API to map files or devices into their virtual address space. One of the arguments in mmap is the offset, which is required to be a multiple of the page size, as shown below.
Failing to adhere to the requirement will fail the mmap operation. If the application logic assumes that mmap will succeed, this may cause the application to crash.
Impact of the Page Size Change
When the kernel page size changes from 4 KB to 16 KB, the mmap's offset value must now be a multiple of 16 KB, not 4 KB. In other words, on a 4 KB page kernel, offsets of 0, 4, 8, and 12 KB work correctly, but on a 16 KB page kernel, offsets of 4, 8, and 12 KB do not.
You can configure these mmap operations while building an application, but it is also possible the developer did not use the mmap themselves, because in many cases the internal linker performs the mmap automatically. A linker refers to the application's Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) to perform the mmap. It's important to build the application with 16 KB pages to make sure the linker performs the mmap to the correct locations for the 16 KB page kernel.
To reiterate, if your application includes native code (not just Java), ensure that you have built it to support 16 KB page sizes. For guidance, refer to this Google Document. We have also provided a shell script that you can use to verify that your application supports the 16 KB page size.
