Samsung’s newest appliances all come with Wi-Fi

The smart home for Samsung isn’t just limited to speakers with digital assistants and controllers for things like lights, locks, and air-cons. Samsung wants to make its home appliances smart, too. That’s why their newest launch in the US is the Chef Collection, which all comes with Wi-Fi connectivity. Soon, you’ll be able to control everything from your stove, cooktop, dishwasher, and refrigerator through an app on your iOS or Android device.

Some of the new products include Bluetooth-enabled range hoods that can automatically turn cooktops on and change fan speeds, Wi-Fi-enabled refrigerators with built-in cameras to see the contents in the fridge, ovens with Flex Duo to let you divide the oven cavity into different cooking zones, and a 42-inch 4-Door Flex ref with FlexZone compartments so you can chance the fridge to a freezer depending on your needs.
