A:
There are several differences between real stainless steel, which is a metal alloy, and Samsung's Stainless Platinum, which is actually a painted surface not unlike the black or white finishes. The key difference that many people note is that real stainless steel is not magnetic, so if you like to hang photos and kids' artwork on your refrigerator, you might want to choose our "Stainless Platinum" finish because it is magnetic. Also, Stainless Platinum is fingerprint-resistant and very easy to care for.
Thank you for your interest,
Ms. Samsung
