FlexZone
While LG might have the upper hand when it comes to innovative refrigerator features, Samsung offers a few things that set its fridges apart from the rest. For instance, some Samsung models come with an Food Showcase design and a FlexZone section that can be used as a freezer or a fridge. The section has a smart Divider which assists in organizing items and ensures the proper temperature.

Samsung's FlexZone feature lets you convert your bottom space into a refrigerator or freezer depending on what you need. This is an excellent way to maximize storage space and save money on energy costs. FlexZone can be used to store frozen food and fresh produce at the same time. This feature is only available on specific Samsung French door fridges.
The Samsung FlexZone refrigerator has a flexible layout that accommodates many different kinds of food and drinks. The shelves can be rearranged to accommodate large or tall items. The compartments are separated by doors that have independently controlled temperatures. It has a convenient ice maker that can create cubes as well as crushed ice.

The refrigerator is constructed of durable materials and comes with an electronic compressor. It also has a recessed pivot that reduces air gap and helps keep your refrigerator running smoothly.
Door-in-Door
The Door-in-Door fridges have an internal compartment that can be opened with one pull of the handle. This makes it easy to access snacks, drinks, or condiments without having to open the main refrigerator. This can help minimize loss of cold air, which keeps your food fresher for longer. Some refrigerators offer this technology as a standalone option, while others, like the LG Side-by-Side Refrigerator, LRMVC2306S incorporate it into the design of the fridge in a way that opening the dedicated door opens both the door-in-door compartment and the main compartment of the refrigerator.
While many refrigerator bells and whistles might seem like gimmicks to certain people, innovative features are designed to meet a real consumer need. Samsung refrigerators have a Door-in-Door feature that is a great example. It lets you quickly access items such as butter, ketchup, and milk that are often used without opening the entire refrigerator which could lead to a loss of cold air.
Some Samsung French-door models feature interactive refrigerator doors, like the Family Hub. You can plan your calendar and create lists from the touchscreen on your fridge. Some even have cameras inside the fridge, so you can track food and drinks from anywhere.
Family Hub
A 21-inch touchscreen powered by Tizen that is inside the fridge functions as an electronic bulletin board, smart speaker (powered by Bixby) and fridge manager and app-powered tablet. It also comes with three tiny cameras that capture images every when the refrigerator door shuts and lets you look inside (though this feature isn't yet available in all markets). The Family Hub is preloaded with various apps that will help you stay well-organized, connected and in contact with your family. These apps vary from delivery services for groceries to recipe applications to whiteboards where you can leave messages for your family or your children.
In addition to the apps created to keep you well-organized and organized, the Family Hub has a fridges number of fun ones to keep everyone entertained and happy. You can play music from the built-in speakers in your refrigerator which is ideal for impromptu kitchen dance parties. You can utilize the touchscreen to stream content from your Samsung device, like a TV that supports Samsung's SmartThings platform.
Although the Family Hub has some great features but it's not without limitations. One of the most notable is the absence of an app store for third-party programs. This means that if you don't like the default screens or apps, you aren't able to simply download a different one. This can be a problem when you'd prefer to use another application for shopping lists, reminders or loyalty programs.
Another issue is that you cannot use voice commands to control the refrigerator. When Samsung first introduced the Family Hub refrigerator, Alexa integration was the top feature on the list--essentially turning the fridge into an huge Amazon Echo for your kitchen. The integration never took place and is a notable inconsistency.
Despite these limitations The Family Hub is still an impressive and useful gadget. It's a great tool to stay in touch with your family, organize your groceries and cooking, and manage your home's smart devices if you're a Samsung customer and you're willing to use the app-only options the Family Hub offers.
SmartThings
SmartThings might not receive the same attention as Amazon Alexa or Google Home however, it's a great platform for smart homes. Its hub comes with Z-Wave radios as well as Zigbee radios. This means you can integrate a vast selection of compatible devices like Lutron, Sonos Ecobee, Lifx Ring, Belkin Arlo and Philips Hue. SmartThings also has Scenes that let you control a variety of compatible devices at the same time. You can create a scenario called "movie-night" that dims your lights and turns on the Blu-ray player.
The SmartThings app lets you monitor and control many connected appliances, including your fridge. The app will alert you if the refrigerator is using excessive energy, for instance. The app will modify the settings of your appliance to help you achieve your energy-saving goals. The SmartThings app also allows you to set up custom schedules and create automated programs that will turn off your oven or dishwasher before you go to bed, for example.
Since Samsung bought SmartThings in 2014, the app is already installed on all Samsung tablets and smartphones. It's among the most robust devices for home automation, but not without issues. Many users have reported significant server downtimes. This is a huge worry for people who depend heavily on their smart home technology. The good thing is that outages usually only last a few hours, and the company's engineers are working to resolve the issue.
