We are only eight days into 2018 and we already have a winner for the prized title of most unnecessary consumer item that no-one ever asked for - a fridge.
Samsung’s grand unveiling at the International Consumer Electronics (CES) show in Las Vegas this weekend, saw their newest smart refrigerator take centre stage with a host of capabilities including a built-in personal assistant, giant touchscreen and speaker system.

The latest Family Hub model (which leaves us all asking, how many features is too many features) uses Samsung’s SmartThings integration so the fridge is basically interconnected to the rest of your home.

Much like a Bond villain you will be able to use the fridge as your command centre, controlling your home’s heating, lighting and any security cameras you have dotted around the house.

Finally this fridge talks to you, courtesy of Samsung’s very own Alexa rival called Bixby.
Sounding like a butler from a 70s sci-fi TV series, Bixby could previously only handle very basic voice commands, but is now operating on a level far more comparable to their Apple and Google rivals.
Supposedly able to distinguish between different family member’s voices, the fridge will be able to read out your calendar for you over breakfast.

If you don’t fancy hearing all the terrible meetings you have coming up then you might want to use the speaker system, which can stream music directly from your connected smartphone to be broadcast through the high-quality AKG speakers built into the doors.
If turning your fridge into a giant jukebox doesn’t excite you then there is at least one feature we can get on board with.
An internal camera is able to show you a livestream of your fridge while you’re out and about, so no more excuses for buying things twice or forgetting to get dinner.
And, if that wasn’t enough to help you with your meal plans, the touchscreen centre also has access to two food apps, one for meal planning and recipes, and another to help you find the best bargains when shopping.
The Meal Planner app suggests recipes for the family based on food preferences, dietary restrictions and food expirations dates. Additionally, people can use the Deals app to find bargains and save them directly to their Shopping List or loyalty card. The new Family Hub ships with the ability to share calendars, photos and notes.
Thanks to SmartThings ecosystem, Samsung’s Family Hub now allows users to control their connected home from the Family Hub touchscreen.
Samsung Family Hub users can access songs through various music streaming platforms or live radio apps, and mirror their Samsung Smart TV. Users can stream content from their smartphone to the Family Hub refrigerator as well. Samsung has collaborated with HomeAdvisor, Pinterest, The Weather Company and Buzzfeed’s Tasty for its Family Hub’s range of content.
“Since Family Hub’s introduction in 2016, consumers have embraced it as their home’s digital command center to help manage food, family and fun. We’ve been listening closely to current users and created a new Family Hub that’s even smarter and more advanced than before,” said John Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances, Samsung Electronics America in a press statement.
“The integration of Bixby and SmartThings into the Family Hub is bringing a new level of intelligent connectivity into the room where people spend the most time: the kitchen,” he added. The South Korean technology giant has expanded its Family Hub platform for four new 4D FDR models, bringing the total to 14. The new Family Hub will be available in the US starting spring.
