The Samsung Family Hub: A Refrigerator with a Giant Touchscreen

Hey everybody, it's The Verge and we're taking another look at the Samsung family hub, which if you haven't guessed is a refrigerator with a giant touchscreen. We saw this announced at CES this year in Las Vegas and now we actually get to use the thing. It's not just in demo mode.

As we open up this thing, it's like your family calendar. You can put photos on it. Whatever hits this crazy home button on this insane Android-like button row, but it's actually running on TI. Go back home is what I'm going to type. The coolest thing is Mastercard has made an app that can shop from Fresh Direct or Shoppr or a few other grocery stores so you can order groceries directly from the fridge. So, you can add stuff to the cart. There's also a smartphone app that goes along with it so you can look at your cart from your smartphone and you can just go shopping.

We'll go back home again. It's got Pandora, so there's speakers somewhere inside this thing. There's another button here view inside if I hit that, I'm looking at a picture of the stuff inside the fridge. Uh, what they do is they have cameras that are hidden right here in the door and every time you close the fridge, the cameras take a picture. So, you can from your smartphone or from the insane touchscreen on the door look at what happened in your fridge. We'll close that give it a tick and this image will refresh with the stuff I just moved around inside the fridge but we're not going to wait for it.

In terms of like raw power, you don't buy a giant touchscreen fridge because it's got awesome specs. But maybe you buy it cuz you want to draw on it. Other things I can show you on this fridge, it does have voice control so you can turn that on and off. But that's not working on this unit right now. You can also slide over to get a bunch of other stuff. You can't add your own apps to it but it's got these apps built in. You can mirror your television so whatever's playing on your s Samsung TV we'll play on this thing. You can just go to the Internet, gives us a phone layout on a giant screen. Uh, you can of course do fridge things.

So, we open up the fridge manager app. You can change the temperature settings for each section. You can turn off the door alarm. You can turn on the ice maker and you can look at recipes here you go. It's the Samsung family Hub smart fridge if you like ridiculous things I don't see how you don't love this thing.
