Separate cooling circuits in fridges equipped with All Round Cooing help keep your food fresher. In conventional fridges, a single cooling evaporator cools both the freezer and refrigerator compartments. This can result in your food getting dry because the low-humidity air from your refrigerator is pumped in. This can make food taste bland and unpleasant.

All Round Cooling employs an All Round Cooling cooling plate located at the back of the refrigerator to retain cold air and stop its loss when you open the door. It also reduces the requirement for power defrosting which saves time and money.

The ice dispenser found on Samsung fridges is one of the finest we've tested. Its patented Twist Ice Maker dispenses large cubes by simply twisting and can be stored in the drawer below when not in use. This makes more shelf space and makes it easier to locate your favourite beverages and snacks.

It's a stylish fridge with a bottom-right FlexZone compartment that converts from refrigerator to freezer. 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, but the lack of voice control and SmartThings integration on the 21.5-inch touchscreen was a missed opportunity.

There's plenty of room to store food in the refrigerator's other drawers with two drawers for crisps and a flexible middle FlexZone drawer. This drawer lets you choose between five different settings based upon your requirements for the fridge-freezer compartment. These include the freeze setting that is compatible with the freezer settings as well as the soft freeze setting for wine or deli trays, a meat and fish setting as well as the beverage setting for drinks, snacks and frequently accessed items.

SmartThings

SmartThings may not be as effective as Alexa or Google Assistant but you can still add a lot more smart devices to it. samsung home appliances's TVs, phones refrigerators, and tablets all come with SmartThings. It might be enough for some particularly if they own multiple Samsung products.

The SmartThings App is well-rounded and polished, and includes an "if x, then y" automation section that works well. It is possible to set up things such as an alarm that goes off when sensors detect flooding, or turn on the light when your phone senses that you're in your home. It could even control your refrigerator, if you connect it to a smart plug although we've seen mixed results with that.

You'll require a hub to use SmartThings, and it's not inexpensive. Samsung offers a range of different options, including the SmartThings Station that you can attach to an existing router and use it as an nightlight. There's also a cheaper SmartThings Hub Dongle that supports Z-Wave and Zigbee and Thread with support coming soon.

Once you've got your smart fridge with a hub, smartphone and smart fridge it's a breeze to use. The SmartThings app lets you control your fridge from anywhere and freezer Samsung sends notifications to your phone when it's open or closed. You can create schedules, set the temperature and even set reminders.

SmartThings was one of the founding members of the Home Connectivity Alliance. This alliance is working on making the most important home appliances from various manufacturers interoperable. In the future you can control your Samsung washer/dryer, Electrolux oven, and LG TV through the same app.

SmartThings is not as popular as Alexa or Google Assistant but it does include some major names on its list, including Arlo Nest, Belkin, and Lifx. It's also compatible with Matter, an open protocol that allows devices to pair regardless of their brand. For most people, however, merged Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls is most likely the best option.

Family Hub

This refrigerator freezer is the most modern one you can find. It comes with a 21-inch touchscreen integrated into the door, as well as a host of intelligent features. You can access entertainment apps, write notes for family members (think big digital version of a notepad stuck to the fridge) and check for the weather and more, all thanks Samsung's own voice activation assistant, Bixby.

You can also create an inventory list of items while on the go, and monitor foods to see when they'll expire. You can even use a specific recipe app that will provide instructions while you cook.

Samsung has spent the entire year refining the Family Hub fridges based on feedback from customers. You can now create separate profiles for each family member so that they can customize the information and apps that they can access. It's not as good as Alexa integration into your fridge, but it's an improvement over the model of last year.

Besides its ability to manage grocery and entertainment, Family Hub also acts as an interface for Samsung's SmartThings platform. It can be integrated into Matter-compatible devices like lights and plugs and allow you to use the touchscreen to control them.

Samsung's fridge has been around for a few years now and, even though it offers a fair bit of usefulness, the touchscreen smarts aren't exactly an essential feature for many people. These are more of a fun and semi-frivolous feature than anything else.

It could change when more software updates are released, but for the moment these models are best for those looking for the most complete connected fridge possible. You can save money by buying a model without the Family Hub if you're not one of those people. It could be worth it when you have a number of smart home devices that require control by the same device, or if you simply enjoy the idea of having a fridge with a giant touchscreen.
