Samsung just announced its new smart fridge called the Bespoke Refrigerator Family Hub Plus, the latest addition to its line of Family Hub smart fridges.
The fridge has a 32-inch, built-in vertical touchscreen — more than double the screen on its existing model — that lets users watch TikTok videos and order groceries on Amazon. Videos can be minimized to a smaller window so users can multitask on the display.
The Family Hub Plus also comes with the Samsung TV Plus service which includes more than 190 TV channels in the US and 80 channels in South Korea that can be accessed for free.

In addition to Microsoft's cloud storage system OneDrive, the smart fridge is now also linked to the Google Photos cloud, which allows users to display personal photos on the screen. Art can also be displayed on the screen through Samsung's Bespoke Atelier app.
Through the SmartThings app, the fridge can control air purification and monitor energy use.

The Family Hub Plus is an expansion of Samsung's SmartThings home product line, which launched in 2016 and aims to automate tasks through a connected home.
Lee Jun-hwa, vice president of Samsung Electronics' home appliances business division, said that the new fridge "provides a vastly expanded experience" that "will lead the innovation and evolution of refrigerators by reflecting style trends," according to a Samsung press release written in Korean.
Samsung did not say how much the fridge will cost or when it will be available for purchase. More information could be provided when the fridge is shown at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show — the world's biggest consumer tech showcase based in Las Vegas — which starts on January 5th.
