Samsung has worked with various partners including Grubhub, Nomiku, Glympse, Ring, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
Family Hub 2.0 is about connecting your family life around a central hub. The kitchen can be a meeting place for your loved ones, and family members can create their own profiles and share photos, access updated calendars, handwrite memos in real time, and post memos from wherever they may be.
At the front of the refrigerator, you have a 21.5-inch LED touchscreen serving as an interactive digital bulletin board, just the thing for browsing through calendars and notes.
The tech does not stop there as the refrigerator has internal View cameras inside. Images of those items can then be added to the shopping list feature, and conveniently ordered through the Groceries by MasterCard app.
For the first time you also get Samsung’s advanced voice technology as part of Family Hub 2.0’s apps offering. Now, users can use their voice to issue commands ie check the weather, time, add products to shopping lists and order groceries online, manage to-do lists as well as calendar schedules, in addition to controlling various other apps.
E-Commerce grocery shopping capabilities from grocers like EATALY and LiDL are bringing more convenience to European consumers, and Morning Brief news content provides relevant news from upday for users in Europe, NPR for users in the US, and Kakao for those in Korea
