Samsung Adds Voice-Opening Doors and Gemini AI to Family Hub Fridges

Pricing and release dates remain unannounced.

Overview

  • Bixby can open or close the motorized door, which swings more than 90 degrees for hands-free access, and a palm or back-of-hand tap also triggers it.
  • Google's Gemini now powers the fridge's AI Vision for food recognition, a Samsung claim that promises instant identification of fresh and packaged items.
  • The system maintains a live inventory, issues expiration alerts, and syncs with Samsung Food to suggest meals and send recipes to compatible Samsung ovens.
  • Features include Video to Recipe conversion, step-by-step guides on the 32-inch display, and weekly FoodNote summaries to highlight frequent items and restocking needs.
  • The cover screen adds Now Brief widgets personalized by voice profiles, and reports suggest a limited, higher-priced rollout in select regions once details are finalized.
