Samsung Fridge Opens Doors with Your Voice!
5 Jan
Summary
- New Family Hub fridges will open and close doors via voice command.
- The AI-powered food recognition is now enhanced with Google's Gemini LLM.
- Voice commands and hand gestures enable hands-free door operation.
Samsung announced at CES 2026 that its Family Hub smart fridge line will soon feature voice-activated doors. Users can command their fridge to open or close by speaking to the built-in Bixby system. The doors will open more than 90 degrees with a voice command, and a simple tap of the hand can also activate the movement.
This new functionality offers a significant convenience, especially for busy cooks. It also presents an important accessibility improvement for many users. The hands-free operation ensures that accessing the fridge is easier than ever, even when hands are occupied.
Beyond door control, the Family Hub's AI Vision is being enhanced with Google's Gemini LLM. This advanced AI will allow the fridge to recognize an unlimited variety of fresh and processed food items instantly, supporting better meal planning and helping to minimize food waste.
