Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung sent us THIS! #AD”.
Okay, today, we are going to do something completely different behind us. We’Ve got a fridge, so this is the samsung family hub, huge thanks to the company for sponsoring this video and sending that guy out, but, of course, asn’t gon na change our paints whatsoever. This is a smart fridge, so if, like most people you’re coming from a standard refrigerator, this creates a whole new world of opportunity. So I’m gon na split this video into three sections which all pretty much cover all of the really cool things.
This fridge allows me to do: let’s start with food management, it took kind of a while to get over the novelty of having three cameras built-in to the fridge. What that means is without constantly opening and closing the fridge door. You can see almost everything that is in the three main compartments.
The resolution leaves a little bit to be desired, but at the same time, it’s not limiting for the purposes of identifying the products that are in your fridge. It works. Okay, that’s all well and good, but these three cameras leads on to another very interesting possibility with your smartphone installing Samsung’s application. You can essentially get a live feed of what is happening in your fridge now: okay, clearly, that’s no Sky Sports in terms of entertainment, but practicality, wise. That makes a lot of sense, something that has happened to me in the past. Is you get to the supermarket? Already to buy your groceries in your bread and your milk, but then you forget how many you actually already have so through the application.
You could just take one glance at your fridge to do a stock check, and this is where it gets I’d say even more interesting. The way people traditionally shop is they’ll. Go to a supermarket they’ll buy all the ingredients that they usually like and they’ll, bring them home and then decide what to make with them with something like this, you could actually go onto one of the built-in applications search up a recipe you like the look of And within about three or four taps, you can have all of your groceries for that recipe already in a basket up to your local supermarket. The family hub does also do a couple of other cool things when it comes to food management, for example, it can keep track of the different items you have in your fridge, as well as their expiry dates.
The downside is, you do have to enter them manually. Okay, but now it gets a little bit better. The family herb supports Spotify. So if you have Spotify on your smartphone, you simply hit play, choose a device to play it on and you can select the fridge and Dayna me wrong.
The speaker isn’t amazing. It sounds a little bit muffled, but it’s loud and if you don’t have any other dedicated speaker hardware in your kitchen, it’s a lot better than a phone now, whilst of course you’re not getting access to anything like Google’s Play, Store or Apple’s App Store. Here you do have select applications that kind of make your day a little bit easier. Things like the morning brief, which give you a summary of your Google Calendar events for the day, the weather, the forecast, the current latest news.
It’S a nice feature, it kind of bundled it all together. You can read everything at once. What I really like, and something I think, is a really good use of the large vertical display is screen mirroring. So if you have a Samsung smartphone after the galaxy s6, it has to be then with a couple of taps, you can be displaying a phone screen on your fridge.
So it’s a pretty cool idea if you had guests over and you wanted to quickly find a way to share with them your holiday photos, it works really. Well, it’s one of my favorite features of the family Hub and it’s got a secondary benefit because, of course, the display on this hub is also multi-touch capacitive, just like your smartphone is you can actually once you’ve paired your smartphone, initially control it using the fridge, as If the fridge itself was the smart phone, something else that Samsung has really clearly worked on when it comes to this guy is I mean the clays in the title? It’S the family element, each user or member in your family can add their own profile. They then sync that with their respective Google Calendar and when you think about it, that could be pretty useful. It means every time you go to the kitchen, you can see a preview of what everyone is doing in that day.
It allows you to in a way better connect to the people you live with. Something I’ve personally noticed. Having used the sky for the last few days is that when everyone in your household shares the same Universal display, it creates some really interesting opportunities. For example, I could leave a note to everyone in the house telling them where I’d gone out for drinks, or I could leave a note saying.
I’D left the keys under the mat. It almost creates a universal tablet for people to communicate across okay. So there we’ve got potentially the most advanced fridge. You’Ve ever come across and truth be told.
This is not the best display you’ve ever come across. This is far from the best audio quality or ever gon na see, but it is the combination of these factors together. In one package and the opportunities this creates, as well as the flexibility, but make it a very, very interesting proposition, as always, if you do want to check it out, the link is in the description below just below that.
