Samsung introduced the Family Hub refrigerator earlier this year with a giant 21.5-inch touchscreen. This $5600 Internet-connected refrigerator went on sale in the US five months ago and in European markets earlier this month. Now, it is being reported that the company will bring Samsung Pay functionality to this refrigerator.
According to a report by ETNews, owners of Family Hub refrigerators in South Korea will soon be able to shop for groceries online using Samsung Pay. The company is already in partnership with three major grocery stores in Korea: Emart, Lotte Mart and Home Plus. The introduction of Samsung Pay in Family Hub refrigerators will further increase the popularity of Samsung's mobile payment solution, which is already available in the company's latest smartphones and smartwatches.
