[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are expected to unveil their new products for the second half of the year starting in September.

According to industry sources on the 17th, Samsung Electronics will announce its new product launch event online in early next month. At the 'Life Unstoppable' event, Samsung will showcase its second half lineup including smartphones, wearable devices, TVs, new home appliances, and kimchi refrigerators using virtual reality (VR) technology.

Samsung is also reportedly preparing a so-called 'Movable TV' (tentative name) that is easy to move. It features a QLED panel and reduced weight to enhance mobility.

An oven equipped with AI technology will also be released. When ingredients are placed inside the oven, it recommends dishes that can be made. Cube refrigerators and shoe care devices will also be introduced within the year.

LG Electronics is also expected to unveil products such as rollable TVs and kimchi refrigerators in the second half of this year.

The rollable TV will have panels supplied by LG Display. Earlier this year at CES2020, LG showcased a roll-up type that rolls the screen upward as well as a roll-down type product. The expected price is known to be around 100 million KRW.

The industry also anticipates that the new home appliance for plant cultivation, which was unveiled at CES, may be released within the year.
