Samsung Fridge Lets You
Order Groceries From Its
21-Inch Touchscreen
T
he Samsung Family Hub Refriger-
ator is a sophisticated multi-tasker
that reconnects families, organizes
groceries and home tasks, and
provides entertainment.
The Family Hub is just that – a
hub of household connections,
but with a thoroughly digital twist. All
communications are housed and displayed
on a 21.5 inch full HD LCD resolution
screen located on the upper right exterior
door.  As the refrigerator’s digital family
command center, the screen allows you
to post, share and update calendars, pin
photos, share treasured kids’ works of art,
and leave notes – all with the ease and
convenience of your smartphone.

From more efficiently manag-
ing your groceries, to identifying foods
you have or need, to tracking product
expiration dates to cut down on waste, the
Family Hub is your go-to resource to keep
your kitchen fully stocked. In a revolution-
ary advancement in refrigerator technol-
ogy, three high quality cameras inside the
fridge capture an image every time the
door closes. You can then access those
images anytime using your smartphone
and take a peek inside your fridge. Even
if you’re at the store and forget to check
on what you need for dinner that night,
you can easily pull up the Samsung Smart
Home app and have a look right into
your Family Hub fridge. There’s no more
forgetting what you have at home, and you
can even use the refrigerator to do online
grocery shopping with the aid of a major
credit card partner, as well as manage reci-
pes and compile and share shopping lists.

With the kitchen serving as
the center of the home and a common
gathering spot, the Samsung Family Hub
Refrigerator is perfectly suited to entertain
friends and family. It offers options for
music streaming to play through its built-
in speaker or connect to your Bluetooth
wireless speakers, like Samsung’s own
Radiant 360 line, to enjoy music through-
98
out the home. You can even enjoy your
favorite television programs right on the
Family Hub screen using Screen mirror-
ing with your Samsung Smart TV, a huge
benefit if you have to prepare food for the
football game and don’t want to miss any
important play.

The Family Hub is as impres-
sively designed on the inside as it is on
the outside. From the Samsung-exclusive
FlexZone™ that transforms from fridge to
freezer to meet your food storage needs,
to keeping food fresher, longer with its
Triple and Metal Cooling system, to its
flexibility and energy-saving features, this
refrigerator places a premium on superior
performance and unmatched innovation
and design.

Family Hub Refrigerator (model
RF28K95800SR) will be available in Spring
2016. It will be available in Counter Depth,
Full Depth, Stainless and a new and stun-
ning Black Stainless design.
