Samsung has been heavily invested on the smartphone race, battling the likes of tech giants Apple, LG and other manufacturers in the playing field. However, the mobile industry isn't the only thing that the company thrives on, as Samsung has other divisions such as home appliances, consumer electronics, camcorders and so forth. With that said, the South Korean tech giant has also been well known in integrating innovative ideas to its devices. And in its latest move, Samsung has just equipped its smart refrigerator with a massive touchscreen panel in its effort to push the idea of a "smart home."
While the Consumer Electronics Show still doesn't officially start until Jan. 6 of this year, Samsung has already been teasing the press with a smart fridge that features a big touchscreen display slapped into it. Details are sparse, however. And the company would rather have the press wait for official announcements until it unveils more specifications of the device itself.
Based on the image, the right door of the smart fridge features a gigantic touchscreen panel built into it. On top of the poster, there's a "Family Refrigerator. Get Connected" written to at least provide an idea on what the device is about. LG, another South Korean tech giant, has also been busy with innovating its devices, and it's quite exciting to see what the competition holds when the show floor opens.
Reports suggest that the display panel in question might be running Android. However, it could also be Samsung's Tizen as the company has been growing its devices that run the operating system as of late. Further speculations also suggest that users will be able to create lists from the display panel itself, as well as check the calendar or control the audio tracks being played. There also might be other features included in the smart fridge. But until it goes official, speculations and rumors are the only things roaming about.
