Frame TV + kitchen appliance sync — when the kitchen talks

“A connected oven by itself is a gimmick. The thing worth paying for is the collective behavior: the kitchen knowing what's cooking and putting that on whatever screen you're nearest to.”

Frame TV as household display — art, dashboards, hub

“The Frame TV's killer feature isn't 4K HDR or the matte screen. It's that it's a SmartThings hub + Thread Border Router + the largest display in the house, all in one device. The fact that it's also a great TV is a bonus.”

Samsung Bespoke oven + dishwasher + washer/dryer

“An induction oven that texts you when the roast hits 145°F is useful. A washer that texts you when the cycle ends is useful. The collective 'kitchen + laundry as one system' is what changes how you use the appliances.”

First Samsung Family Hub fridge — kitchen has an OS

“The fridge is now a SmartThings hub, a display, a camera, a calendar surface, and a recipe-search tool. It's also a fridge. It does all six things well enough that the kitchen actually got more functional.”
