Conventional fridges have one evaporator that cools both the freezer and refrigerator compartment. This often means that the low-humidity air from your freezer is pumped into your fridge, and it could cause your food items to dry out. This can cause food to taste bland and unpleasant.With All-Round Cooling, each shelf has multiple vents that circulate cool air. This helps maintain a consistent temperature even if you open and shut the refrigerator door.Optimal Fresh zone helps keep seafood and meats fresher up to two times longer than conventional refrigerators, and does not freeze. This feature is a game changer for those who love cooking but isn't a fan of freezing frozen meat or fish.All Round Cooling employs an All Round Cooling metal cooling plate at the back of the refrigerator to retain cold air and avoid its loss when you open the door. It also reduces your need for power defrosting saving you both time and money.The ice dispenser found on Samsung refrigerators is among the best we've ever tested. The patent-pending Twist Ice Maker dispensing large cubes can be dispensed by one simple twist. It can be kept below the fridge when not being used. This allows for more shelf space and makes it easier to locate your favorite snacks and drinks.With Reversible Doors You can select the direction in which your fridge or freezer opens.

It will show live video feeds from your smart doorbell, order groceries based on an automated inventory or suggest recipes that make use of the ingredients you have on hand.The flex drawers at the bottom of Samsung refrigerators are a clever storage solution that make it easier to store larger items such as canned drinks or trays of pizza. They can be flipped back when not in use and folded flat to make space.

This flexibility lets you personalize the fridge freezer to suit your storage needs and requirements.

The stainless-steel finish of the fridge is durable and elegant. Additionally, it has an anti-fingerprint coating that helps keep the exterior of the appliance looking fresh. The fridge comes with an external water and ice dispenser to make it even more efficient.This fridge comes with a FlexZone bottom-right compartment that can be converted from freezer to refrigerator. This provides extra space to store items in the freezer, such as ice cream bags of frozen vegetables and even fish or meat. It was a great performer in our tests, too however, the absence of voice control and SmartThings integration on the 21.5-inch touchscreen felt like an unrealized opportunity.There's plenty of space to store food in the rest of the fridge with two drawers for crisps and a flexible middle FlexZone drawer. The latter lets you select between five different settings for the fridge's freezer drawer depending on your preferences. This includes the freeze setting that is compatible with the freezer settings and the soft freeze setting for wine or deli trays, a meat and fish setting, and an alcohol setting for drinks, snacks and other items that are frequently used.This Samsung FlexZone side-by-side refrigerator is an excellent option for families that want the convenience of having a freezer and fridge in one. It's smaller than top-of-the-line French door models, but it has plenty of useful features and is an excellent alternative for those with small kitchens.Samsung Fridge Freezers are also very energy efficient due to their digital inverter technology. This technology regulates the temperature inside the fridge so that it doesn't change too frequently and helps keep food fresher for longer. Its energy efficiency has earned it the Energy STAR Certification.SmartThingsSmartThings may not be as powerful as Alexa or Google Assistant however, you can still add more smart devices to it. It's also built into Samsung smartphones TVs, tablets and tablets - as well as some fridges. It might be enough for some especially if they own several Samsung products.The SmartThings application is very polished and well rounded and comes with a 'if x then y' automation section that performs surprisingly well. It is possible to set up things such as an alarm that goes off when sensors detect a flood, or turning on the light when your phone senses that you're at home. It can also control your fridge if you connect it to a smart socket however we've had mixed results with this.You'll need a hub in order to make use of SmartThings, which isn't cheap. frydge.uk has a number of options, including the SmartThings Station that you can connect to a router and use as a nightlight. There's also a less expensive SmartThings Hub Dongle that supports Z-Wave and Zigbee, with Thread support to be added soon.Once you have your smart fridge connected to your smartphone, hub and fridge it's easy to use. The SmartThings app lets you manage your fridge from anywhere and sends notifications to your smartphone whenever it's closed or opened. You can set up schedules, set the temperature and even create reminders.SmartThings was an early participant in the Home Connectivity Alliance. This alliance is working towards making major home appliances made by different manufacturers interoperable. In the future you can control your Samsung washer/dryer, Electrolux oven, and LG TV using the same app.SmartThings isn't as popular as Alexa or Google Assistant but it does have some big names on its list, like Arlo Nest, Belkin, and Lifx. It's also compatible with Matter, a protocol that allows accessories to be paired regardless of brand. The most effective option for users is to combine Alexa and Google Assistant.Family HubA fridge freezer can't get much more modern than this: it has a 21-inch touchscreen in the door, along with a host of smart features. You can access entertainment apps, write notes for family members (think a huge digital version of a notepad stuck to the fridge), check weather updates and more, all thanks to Samsung's voice-activated assistant, Bixby.The touchscreen allows you to manage food and recipes. You can add ingredients from an app and see what's in your fridge using internal cameras. You can make grocery lists on the move and track foods to see their expiration date. You can even use a dedicated recipe app that will read out the instructions while you cook.Samsung has spent a whole year reworking the Family Hub fridges based on feedback from customers. You can now create different profiles for each member of your family to allow them to customize the information and apps that they can access. It's not as good as having Alexa integration integrated into your refrigerator but it's an improvement on the previous model.Family Hub is not only an app for managing your entertainment and groceries but also controls Samsung's SmartThings platform. It can be used to control Matter-compatible devices like lights, plugs, and locks.Samsung's fridge has been around for a few years now and, even though it provides a decent amount of functionality, the touchscreen smarts aren't exactly an essential feature for the majority of people. These are more of a fun, semi-frivolous accessory than anything else.This may be changed with the release of more software updates, but for the moment these models are the best for those who want to have the most extensive connected refrigerator possible. You can save money by purchasing an appliance without the Family Hub if you're not one of these people. If you have a lot of smart home devices that you need to manage from a single screen, or you like the idea of having a refrigerator with a huge touchscreen, it could be worth the cost.
