I recently came across a review of a Samsung Smart fridge made by a non tech influencer, some of the things that grabbed my attention were:
- The fridge had both front and back cameras
- It had a microphone
- It could play music, which maybe was important if you considered it for a glorified kitchen tablet
- It could install regular android apps
- It could sync photos and notes
- It was compatible with the Uber app, so I have to assume you could actually have payment info in there
I have never bought a nice fridge and I will go out of my way to avoid pointless smart, so it really came as a surprise to me, but the situation seems posible and probably will happen to someone at some point
- utucuro 3y agoThe listed features are interesting, probably useful for a fridge IF by back camera, a camera that can show me the inside of the fridge is meant - I'd love being able to access that during shopping trips. The rest are all potentially useful as well, but more important than any of these are security and longevity - a flagship phone from Samsung gets something like 5 years of updates if I recall right, and those updates are prioritized according to how premium the phone is - how far down the list are fridges? I would definitely want my fridge to last longer than 5 years and NOT be a security risk in my network.
- joseda-hg 3y agoYes, back camera allowed to view remotely the contents of the fridge and was able to be accessed from any smartphone connected Apparently fridges get at a minimum 2 years of updates with Samsung, but after that no updates are guaranteed
