Samsung goes big with its smartest fridge yet

2016-01-05
hey I'm seen that's right Crist here in Las Vegas at the Samsung CES booth for the family hub refrigerator this is a new smart fridge from Samsung with a gigantic touchscreen on the upper right door here it's 21 and a half inches much bigger than the 8 inch LCD touchscreens of Samsung's previous smart fridges so a big step forward there and also a nicer design to with the four door flex styling that we saw on last year's chef collection model now on that touch screen you'll be able to do a lot of the basic smart fridge functions from before access Pandora to stream music be able to mirror your Samsung Smart TVs feed onto the fridge you'll be able to access a calendar app and even order groceries through an integration with the MasterCard grocery out the fridge itself is a 28 cubic foot model available both in standard depth and counter depth with different finishes you can get stainless steel or this nice black stainless steel here that's one of the big new trends that Samsung is really pushing for 2016 another interesting thing inside the fridge you see when the door is closed you've got these cameras on the inner rim those will keep an eye on your groceries and snap a picture every time the door gets closed you'll be able to see that most recent picture in Samsung's app so if you're at the grocery and you can't remember if you need milk you can check one last interesting thing about this fridge down the road Samson is looking into the possibility of packing Alexa from Amazon echo directly inside so you'll be able to enjoy all the same functionality as the Amazon echo smart speaker from the fridge in your kitchen people love using Amazon echo in their kitchen good kitchen timer accessing music while they're cooking that makes sense for this fridge and putting that in your kitchen so we'll be interested to see if Samsung goes that route the Samsung family hub refrigerator is expected to arrive at US retail this spring and will sell for five thousand dollars that's about as much as we have seen from a major manufacturers fridge but this is a pretty interesting one so it'll be interesting to see how it plays with the US market here at CES I'm seeing that's right Chris
