The Consumer Electronics Show served as a venue for Samsung to unveil the most innovative refrigerator around. It features a built-in grocery store. The South Korean technology juggernaut announced the Family Hub refrigerator, the new Gear 2 smartwatch in rose gold and platinum and a new series of ultra HD TVs.
Samsung Kicks Off 2016 With a Bang
The announcement of the Family Hub refrigerator got a lot of buzz because it is the first to feature a virtual grocery store. Not only that, but it can also post reminders for kids, set family photos and features a camera.
Samsung is planning to team up with two major US grocery stores. The way the system will work is through home delivery. What’s more, customers can make purchases through the fridge itself.
The Family Hub has a 21.5-inch screen with built in apps. These will be used for online grocery shopping. The camera on its side will give insight to customers that decide to go to the grocery store in person. This will prevent items from getting forgotten.
Is this The End of Amazon Fresh?
This is an amazing innovation. It’s no surprise that it comes out of Samsung, who has a huge knack for bringing totally fresh concepts to the table. Online grocery shopping might change completely, as well as home appliances.
The Future of Home Appliances and Electronics
Soon enough, home electronics and appliances might be fused. They already have many features in common. Samsung is just taking the next logical step. LG is another company that is also bringing some changes to home appliances. It recently released the TWIN Washer and Sidekick. It features a second slot for items that are easily forgotten.
