    The most differentiating competitive advantage of this appliance is its top-mounted high-definition cavity camera equipped with the Sense Inside Food Recognition Algorithm, which is also the focus of this test.

    1. Automatic Ingredient Recognition (Sense Inside)

    Officially stated to recognize over 80 common ingredients, pre-cooked dishes, and baked goods. Real-world testing performance:

    • When whole chickens, salmon, steaks, cake bases, sweet potatoes, and other complete ingredients are placed centered and unobstructed, the recognition success rate is over 95%. The screen automatically displays the matching recipe, simultaneously recommending temperature, time, and steam level.
    • The AI-powered anti-scorching algorithm monitors the browning of ingredients in real time, sending a push notification to the phone when the food is nearing the burning point, automatically lowering the temperature or extending the steam retention time.
    • Weaknesses: Recognition accuracy decreases when baking multiple layers simultaneously or when dark-colored ingredients are obstructed by foil/baking trays. Stable recognition requires single-layer, centered placement.

    2. View Inside: Real-time Mobile Visualization

    After connecting to the SmartThings APP, your phone can stream the oven’s interior 24/7, supporting three practical scenarios:

    1. Remote Monitoring: No need to repeatedly open the door to cool down when simmering soup, baking bread, or air frying. Check doneness while working from home or out grocery shopping;
    2. Time-lapse Video: Automatically generates time-lapse videos of the entire baking or roasting process, easily shared to social media platforms;
    3. Remote Control: Directly adjust temperature, turn steam on/off, and set timers via your phone. Preheat the oven on your way home from get off work.

    3. Whole-House Smart Ecosystem Integration

    1. Integration with Bespoke AI Refrigerators: After the refrigerator’s camera identifies stored ingredients, push recipes to the oven with one click, automatically loading the cooking program;
    2. Samsung Health Synchronization: Reads user’s exercise and calorie goals, AI recommends low-fat steaming and baking programs, automatically combining air frying and pure steam modes;
    3. Whole-House Energy Monitoring: SmartThings Energy tracks oven power consumption in real time, automatically shutting off when idle to save energy.

    IV. Cooking Function Test: Zoned Steam + 23 Modes, Covering All Cooking Scenarios

    1. Dual Cook Flex Independent Temperature Control

    The cavity has a detachable partition, allowing one-button switching between two modes:

    • Whole Cavity Mode: 76L full-area hot air, suitable for whole turkeys, multi-layer baking, and large-scale party food preparation;
    • Dual Zone Independent Mode: The upper and lower cavities have separate temperature control; the upper element bakes chiffon cakes at 220℃, while the lower element performs low-temperature fermentation at 80℃, simultaneously completing two steps in dessert preparation without flavor mixing, significantly reducing food preparation time.

    2. Dual Cook Steam Three-Stage Steam System (Core Cooking Advantage)

    Unlike ordinary simple convection ovens, Samsung features an independent steam jet chamber with three steam modes to cover different food needs:

    1. Add Steam Humidification Baking: Intermittent steam spray for roasting meat and bread, resulting in a crispy crust and juicy interior. Testing showed that it locks in the juices of steak better than ordinary convection ovens.
    2. Full Steam: 100℃ high-temperature saturated steam for steaming fish, vegetables, and baby food, maximizing vitamin retention and resulting in a healthier, oil-free product.
    3. Steam-Assisted Fermentation: Stable temperature and humidity control prevents dough from drying out during fermentation, eliminating the need for an external fermentation box.

    3. Comprehensive Functionality

    Built-in 23 preset programs: air fry, low-temperature slow baking, dried fruit dehydration, pizza, yogurt, defrosting, high-temperature self-cleaning, etc., eliminating the need for manual parameter adjustments. The air fry mode, paired with a dedicated frying basket, produces fries and chicken wings with less oil and a crispier texture comparable to a standalone air fryer.

    V. Cleaning and Daily Use Experience

    1. Dual-Mode Self-Cleaning
    • Steam Quick Clean: 20 minutes of low-temperature steam softens grease, allowing for quick wiping after light daily baking.
    • High-Temperature Self-Cleaning: High-temperature carbonization of heavy grease stains; only the ash needs to be wiped away afterward, reducing the use of chemical cleaners.
    1. Consumable Maintenance: The steam tank is designed to prevent scale buildup and can be rinsed with water; the enamel coating on the cavity does not absorb grease, allowing for easy wiping with a damp cloth.
    2. Easy to Use: The 7-inch color screen displays intuitive graphic recipes, requiring no complicated learning for seniors; supports voice control with Samsung smart speakers for voice-activated preheating and timer functions.
