Samsung takes kitchen innovation to the next level with the launch of the Flex four-door refrigerator featuring AI Family Hub+. Set to debut at CES next year, this intelligent appliance introduces a revolutionary culinary experience by developing recipes based on your stocked ingredients or dietary preferences.
The smart fridge’s internal chamber utilizes advanced technology to identify individual foods, suggesting recipes through a specialized program. An upgrade from its 2023 predecessor, the Family Hub+ now seamlessly integrates with Samsung Health profiles, adapting recipes to meet specific dietary needs.
Beyond its culinary prowess, users can stream their Galaxy smartphone screens directly to the Family Hub’s 32-inch touchscreen display, transforming the kitchen into an entertainment hub. Enjoy TikTok and YouTube videos while preparing meals, creating a multi-functional and engaging cooking space.
While Samsung acknowledges the current limitations of its Vision AI feature—capable of identifying up to 33 foods—the company envisions the smart fridge as a central component within a broader ecosystem of AI-enabled kitchen appliances, including AI ovens. Users can manually input expiration dates for items, receiving timely notifications when freshness is compromised.
Looking ahead, Samsung plans to extend its AI integration to the kitchen with the Anyplace cooktop model, featuring a pull-out cooktop and a seven-inch LCD screen. This integration seamlessly connects with Samsung Food, providing a cohesive and tech-savvy culinary experience. As technology continues to shape the future of kitchen appliances, Samsung remains at the forefront, transforming daily cooking routines into interactive and personalized experiences.
