Voice identification in smart home tech is nothing new, but with no successful Samsung-branded smart speaker line of its own, connected appliances are Samsungs 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. Youll also be able to ask the fridge to trigger an alarm on your phone, useful if you cant find it. The update may be more helpful for those who are hard of vision, as it will automatically change the fridge screens display mode to match settings like color inversion or grayscale that have been applied on your phone.
Samsung is also adding a new way to activate Bixby on its fridges. In addition to tapping the Bixby icon or using voice commands, youll now be able to double tap on the fridges display while its off to bring the beleaguered voice assistant no longer the default even on Samsungs own phones to life.
The Voice ID feature and double-tap gesture are arriving now in an update for Samsungs Bespoke AI fridges with Family Hub (the companys term for its larger smart home screens), starting with the 2025 models, and will later roll out to appliances with the smaller AI Home displays.
