The smart refrigerators with
internet-connected apps have been introduced to CES for the past 5 years. However, at this year’s convention, Samsung
introduced a new and improved smart-fridge; they gave it a facelift.
Samsung’s new Family Hub features
an extraordinary 21.5 inch high-definition touchscreen that firs most of the
right-hand door. This gadget can show the weather, play music, display
calendars that belong to different family members, show photos and play recipe
videos. Think that’s impressive? Those features are just the tip of the
iceberg.
The Family Hub will also be able
to help you order groceries online. Samsung is in the process of launching a
demo with FreshDirect and Shop-Rite apps to get this feature up and running.
They are currently working on getting other vendors to join. Yet another
impressive feature is on the inside. Three cameras were included to take
pictures of the content every time the doors are shut. In addition, expiration
dates can be assigned to each of the item, if being scrupulous about your food
is not your strong suit. Besides, there aren’t any more excuses to forget
something on your grocery list. You can now take a peek at what’s left in the
fridge while at the grocery store.
It’s pretty clear that Samsung is
trying to make everyday tasks more efficient and feasible through technology.
If this is the refrigerator for you, expect it to hit the market by spring
2016!
