LAS VEGAS \u2013 January 7, 2019 \u2013 <\/strong><\/span>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.<\/strong> today unveiled the next generation of its award-winning Family Hub refrigerator<\/strong>, continuing to innovate and redefine the refrigerator category. Family Hub continues to set a new standard for connected living, bringing the family together in the kitchen while freeing users up to focus on what\u2019s important to them.<\/p>\n As the new generation of homeowners look to technology to define both who they are and how they want to live their lives, there is no better place to do this than in a connected kitchen. And with the Family Hub, which offers the simplified connectivity they\u2019ve grown accustomed to, families can spend more time focusing on the things that matter most to them.<\/p>\n In 2019, with the new Family Board<\/strong>, a communal screen that family members can interact with in a personalized way, Family Hub helps foster true family connection, food management, and connected home experience in today\u2019s fast-paced modern world.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we first launched Family Hub three years ago, it was an app-based experience anchored in food management, family connections and entertainment,\u201d said John Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances, Samsung Electronics America.<\/strong> \u201cToday we are introducing the latest version of Family Hub featuring Bixby with AI capabilities. Bixby now provides a new level of connectivity and intelligence designed to make everyday tasks much easier. When combined with our new Family Board, the Family Hub is the perfect combination of convenience and connectivity.\u201d<\/p>\n Bixby allows for a smarter, hands-free, more personalized way to use the Family Hub. Users can ask Bixby for their Morning Brief while getting breakfast ready for the kids so they know all of their daily essentials like the weather and top news. All of this appears on the Family Hub screen so they can see as well as hear it. And through Bixby\u2019s voice ID technology, each family member\u2019s voice is distinguished, so everyone can get tailored information for their individual needs. Bixby is even smarter and more conversational \u2013 allowing users to interact more naturally. Imagine, now users can search for a plane ticket through Expedia, call an Uber and pre-set the oven temperature just by talking to the Family Hub.<\/p>\n Taking intelligence a step further, with the Family Hub\u2019s seamless integration of SmartThings, owners can now see and control hundreds of Samsung and third-party smart home devices right from the refrigerator screen and by voice with Bixby.<\/p>\n The new Family Board screen acts as a digital bulletin board in which members can easily stick notes and photos and even doodle right on the screen. Users can now have a devoted screen to share photos, messages and memories on their fridge, and are able to customize their photos with different photo styles, add handwritten notes and stickers, and even change the background color to match their kitchen \u2013 all bringing the family closer to elevate the way they connect and share.<\/p>\n The Family Hub displays a dynamic screensaver that can be used to display precious family moments, important information such as the weather, or even artwork. It can also be set to blend with the d\u00e9cor in the kitchen.<\/p>\n From the beginning, food management with Family Hub has been a cornerstone feature elevating the way homeowners manage their food \u2013 whether using \u201cView Inside\u201d to see if they need eggs from their smartphone while at the store or adding items to their shopping list and tagging expiration dates. The Family Hub enables a user to create better and healthier meals with Meal Planner, which customizes recipes based on food preferences, dietary needs and the items in the fridge.<\/p>\n In 2019, Samsung will expand the Family Hub platform across more models to ensure that there is a Family Hub configuration that meets the needs of all consumers.<\/p>\n A 2019 CES Innovation Award Honoree in the Software and Mobile Apps product category, the new Family Hub will be featured at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) <\/a>from January 8-11, 2019 at booth 15006 Central Hall at the LVCC. The new Family Hub will be available this spring.
