Adding a touchscreen to the door of a refrigerator isn’t exactly a new idea, but what Samsung is doing with its new Family Hub refrigerator is something else. Samsung is hoping to provide integration with iOS and Andriod calendars through a third-party tool called Sticki. These two new enhancements showcase Samsung’s dedication in providing its Smart TV customers with an all-round entertainment experience. As items accumulate in the Groceries by MasterCard app on the fridge, the final shopping list is approved with a 4-digit PIN.

Samsung says the Family Hub will be available in Spring 2016 – that’ll be a U.S. release and a USA date, so Autumn our time. and will be available in counter-depth and full-depth models in traditional stainless steel or black stainless steel colours. Users can make transactions by using their existing Visa, Discover, American Express, or any other credit or debit card account. We can’t even say for certain that it will indeed run Android – Samsung has moved towards its in-house Tizen OS for many of its smart appliances in recent year.
“Applying this technology into current household devices is a major step forwards that will make it much easier for everyone to experience the benefits of a smart home”. “Now more than ever, we are delivering on the promise of the Internet of Things with a Wi-Fi-connected range that takes cooking convenience to a new level”.
‘In the past if you wanted to control your lighting, you’d need a C-Bus program and to spend thousands of dollars wiring it up, ‘ Newton said.
No, you’re not going mad, Samsung really did just launch a smart refrigerator that lets you spy on your food.

Samsung also announced a new partnership with MasterCard in a setup that will allow owners of the fridge shop for groceries at FreshDirect and ShopRite straight from the refridgerator. The Samsung Fridge is also smartphone supported, and users can log into their fridge from anywhere and see whats inside it. The 21.5-inch screen can be used to watch TV by mirroring with a Samsung Smart TV.
