I’m not opposed to the idea of a huge Wi-Fi-connected touchscreen on a fridge - in fact, it seems like a genuinely useful way to look up recipes or display cute photos and videos. Samsung says its Family Hub updates will be available in the spring. There’s no pricing information yet, but based on the prices for LG and Samsung’s previous fridge models, customers can expect prices to range from $4,500 to $6,000. The InstaView with Craft Ice was released in the US last year, but will now be available in more markets. Those are supposed to melt slower than regular ice, if that’s a problem that you have. There’s the AI-equipped InstaView ThinQ and the InstaView with Craft Ice, which makes fancy, two-inch spherical ice balls. LG is showing off two models of its InstaView fridges, both of which feature a 22-inch display that can turn transparent to let users see what’s inside without opening the door and letting the cold air out. Samsung’s Family Hub fridge comes in silver (pictured here) and black. That means you can watch vertical videos like IGTV on your Samsung fridge, as God intended. Whisk lets users plan meals for up to a week and then creates smart shopping lists using ingredients that apply to multiple recipes.įinally, the huge built-in touchscreen that can be used as a virtual bulletin board can now support video clips, as well as mirror content from Samsung TVs and phones.

The software upgrades also include improved meal planning with the help of Whisk, a food tech startup Samsung acquired last year. Though it’s to be determined how well the image recognition will work - for example, how will it deal with ingredients stored in tubs of Tupperware? With the AI-enabled updates, Family Hub will supposedly make these recommendations for you on its own, identifying which ingredients you’re low on. PST.Before, the cameras let users see what’s in their fridges from their smartphones, a useful feature if you happen to be out grocery shopping and can’t remember what you need to stock up on. We'll be sure to take a swing through Samsung's booth once CES 2018 officially kicks off, and we'll also have more details following Samsung's presser, happening on January 8 at 2 p.m. That's well and good, though I thought the Family Hub already had pretty passable sound quality (you know, for a fridge). In addition, each of the four new four-door French door models arriving this year will feature newly-refined AKG Premium Quality Sound Speakers for deep, rich-sounding bass. Sounds like a good fit for the fridge, too. Samsung also tells us that a fresh crop of content partners is on the way, including HomeAdvisor, Pinterest, and those "Tasty" cooking videos from Buzzfeed that leave your mouth watering whenever they show up in your Facebook feed. Knock on the glass door and a set of interior LEDs will.

You could already mirror your Samsung smart TV on the fridge's touchscreen - soon, you'll be able to mirror whatever's playing on your smartphone, too (no word yet on whether or not that's exclusive to Samsung smartphones). A less broad set of smart features than Samsungs fridge, instead LG has innovated around your physical interactions with the appliance. Samsung is also promising more of a focus on entertainment in 2018. That's a nice improvement, but Samsung still has a lot of work to do if it wants to catch the competition - the refrigerator's Bixby controls seemed a little under-developed when I took some time to play with them late last year. Ask Bixby "what's new today," for instance, and it'll read out the day's weather and news, along with personally-tailored updates from your calendar. Most notably, Bixby will soon be able to distinguish between different voices and offer personalized results based on the user, similar to Alexa and Google Assistant. Speaking of AI, Samsung is continuing to refine the refrigerator's Bixby voice controls. It all sounds like a logical next step, but I'll be curious to see if Samsung can get us to a point where the refrigerator's artificial intelligence is able to automatically detect what you're putting in the fridge without needing you to enter any extra details. You'll also be able to use a new Deals app to save sale-priced groceries to your shopping list, or to a supported loyalty card. Enable it, and your refrigerator will recommend recipes based on your family's food preferences, allergies, and, thanks to those cameras, the ingredients you have on hand. The Family Hub's grocery-tracking fridge cameras are getting an intelligence boost, too, thank to a new feature called Meal Planner. Soon, the Family Hub will be able to recommend what you should cook for dinner based on the ingredients you already have on hand.
