Samsung’s latest smart fridges now support multi-voice recognition powered by the company’s Bixby assistant, which can be used to bring up personalized information on the built-in smart displays based upon which member of a household is speaking.
Voice identification in smart home tech is nothing new, but with no successful Samsung-branded smart speaker line of its own, connected appliances are Samsung’s only real route to apply that kind of personalization.
The main perk is that the fridge will be able to display your calendar or personal photo gallery using only voice commands.

In addition to tapping the Bixby icon or using voice commands, you’ll now be able to double tap on the fridge’s display while it’s off to bring the beleaguered voice assistant —no longer the default even on Samsung’s own phones — to life.
