I’m listening…
The one we most like? There’s a trio of cameras inside that take a snapshot of the fridge’s contents every time anybody closes the door. You can then access said snapshot on your phone via the Samsung Smart Home app, no matter where you are, giving you a real-time update on how many eggs you’ve got left, or if your flatmate has pilfered your last can of overpriced craft IPA.
The app also lets you track sell by dates on your food, although you’ll have to enter those manually.
Fair enough. But why is this called the “Family Hub”? It’s an icebox, not a computer.
Isn’t it both? And the name comes from the fact that its 21.5in full HD touchscreen and internet savviness opens up a whole plethora of functions of which your average cooler can only dream.
The screen can display notes, photos and a calendar to which any member of your household can post. It’ll also show off recipes from celebrated cooking man Michel Roux Jr and a bunch of partner websites, and it’ll even keep you entertained – there are built-in speakers which can play web radio music (or output it to a Bluetooth speaker), and if you own a recent Samsung smart TV you can mirror whatever’s on its screen on the fridge’s panel.
