Samsung's new smart fridge uses AI and cameras to keep your food fresh and reduce food waste (now available)

8 April 2024 update: The refrigerator is officially available in Singapore. Details below.

It's a bit of a mouthful, but the Samsung 2024 Bespoke 4-Door Flex Refrigerator with AI Family Hub+ is the latest smart fridge announced by the Korean tech giant at CES 2024, alongside new TVs, an AI vacuum robot and more. Not only is this fridge super smart thanks to AI, but it'll also help you make smarter food choices too.

Inside the fridge are smart internal cameras that can detect and recognise when items are put into or taken out of the fridge. "Vision AI" technology can then identify up to 33 kinds of fresh food items and then list them automatically on the 32-inch Family Hub+ screen with their expiration dates.

This feature also works for items that aren't in the fridge's database. However, users will have to manually input these items' expiration dates. 

Thanks to AI and via the Samsung Food app, the fridge can also offer up recipe suggestions for meals based on which items are expiring soon and need to be used, making it super easy to whip up a dish to use up older produce.

The Samsung Food app can now connect with the Samsung Health app, using the health information there to customise and suggest healthy, appropriate recipes.

There's no news yet on pricing or availability, but this article will be updated if and when we receive more information.
