What's a smart fridge?

See in the supermarket if there's a carton of milk in your fridge on your smartphone. Store vegetables and fruit 2 times longer in a special fresh drawer. Use an energy-efficient, transparent refrigerator door. As you can see, the technologies of refrigerators do not stand still. In this article I'll explain the functions of smart refrigerators.

Control the fridge with an app

Control with app

You can control some fridges remotely with an app. Useful, when you're shopping for groceries and want to lower the temperature in advance. That way, your fresh foods will cool faster once you get home and put everything in the fridge. In some apps, you can keep a grocery list or check when the milk is expired. Not sure what you want to cook for dinner? Enter the ingredients that you already have in the app. That way, you'll see which recipes you can make right away.

Built-in tablet

The Samsung Family Hub fridges have a special built-in tablet. On this tablet, you can check the weather, add things to your calendar, and scroll through the latest news. When your fridge is empty, you can add ingredients to the list right away. During a fun night of cooking, you can play music through the speakers of the fridge. Do you have a Samsung TV as well? You can display your movie on the fridge. That way, you don't have to miss a single moment of the exciting sports game when you're getting a snack.

Integrated camera

Let's say you're in the supermarket and aren't sure whether you have enough eggs at home to make your favorite cake. The built-in camera will help you out. You can see which groceries are already in your fridge via your phone, so you don't get too many or not enough ingredients for your recipe.
