the Samsung family of refrigerator was the talk of Las Vegas mint made its debut at CES last January now we've got it here in the CNET smart home kitchen you take a look it's the same four-door build as you'll find a lot of Samsung's high-end fridges except it's got this 21 and a half inch Tizen powered touchscreen on the upper door on that touchscreen you'll find this calendar sharing app you'll find Pandora and tune ins internet radio you'll be able to order groceries through instacart groceries by MasterCard the thing I want you to check out though are these cameras on the inner flap of the door these three cameras here snap a photo of your groceries every time you close the thing and then if you pull up your phone you can check that out of the store and see if you need more milk or you can tap here on this view and side button to look at it on the screen now in all honesty I was pretty skeptical about those cameras when I first heard about them yeah it might be helpful to applaud your phone and see if you need some ingredient when you're out of the store but that's only gonna come in handy once or twice a year right actually it's the low here on the screen that I really like the reason is you can just easily pull down little markers here that tell you when your food is going to expire that's a handy way to keep track of stuff you do have to keep things in the same spot on the shelf because those little markers won't follow your ingredients around if you move them but still it's a handy feature I like it the touch screen also looks nice it's got a good design takes good advantage of all that real estate it's got it's not as responsive as I'd like it doesn't feel like using a high-end tablet feels a little more sluggish in generic typing on it is that comfortable you have to be very precise considering that this fridge costs thousands more than the model that doesn't have a touchscreen I wish that those controls felt a little more high-end we'll have a lot more on this fridge we'll see that more time to get our hands on it and also do our performance tests so stay tuned for that in the coming weeks
