One of the expectations for CES 2018 it was the launch of several devices to make your home smarter. As it had already done in the 2017 edition, Samsung announced at CES the 2018 version of its smart refrigerator “Family Hub".
This year's model brings improvements in integration with Samsung's voice assistant, Bixby. In addition to the assistant, Samsung wants to please audiophiles, adding AKG speakers and integration with “SmartThings” systems.
The new intelligent refrigerator can connect and control third-party devices that are part of SmartThings intelligent ecosystem, we are talking about lamps, thermostats, home video cameras and other connected systems.
As for the features that have undergone improvements in Bixby for the "Family Hub", the ability to recognize the individual voices of the different people who are using the refrigerator in the same house stands out, to provide personalized results. If a child says "Hello Bixby" it will have different results than an adult when asking the same question, according to the latest uses of the system.
The speakers can be used to play content from one of the built-in applications such as Pandora, or play content from your smartphone to the refrigerator.
The 2018 Family Hub line will be launched by May this year. Samsung has not released the prices of this new line of refrigerators. Remember that the previous version had prices around the 3.500,00 USD.
