Samsung Confirms Pilot Program in the U.S. and Transforms Family Hub Refrigerators into Screens for Ads, Following Its Global Philosophy of “Screens Everywhere.”

If it’s digital, it can have a screen. And if it has a screen, it can show ads. This idea that already dominates phones, TVs, and even cars has now arrived in the kitchen.

Samsung has announced that its Family Hub™ refrigerators will begin displaying advertising in the United States.

Update Confirmed

The announcement came in a statement to Android Authority.

How Ads Work

Ads will appear when the screen is idle.

However, they will not show up during “Art Mode” or while displaying photo albums.

In other words, they replace the screensaver.

Samsung says it is possible to manually dismiss each ad, and it won’t return. However, there is no official option to permanently disable the feature in the refrigerator’s settings.

In practice, the consumer is stuck with the system. The only way out is to wait for users to discover some alternative method to block the ads.

Company’s Broader Strategy

The innovation follows a philosophy referred to by Samsung itself as “Screens Everywhere.” The brand has been inserting advertising into its televisions for years and is now bringing the same idea to the kitchen.

Moreover, Family Hub™ refrigerators also stand out for other features, such as AI Vision Inside™ technology, which promises to automatically recognize stored food items.

This move, however, reflects a larger trend. It’s not just Samsung. Even cars are not exempt: automotive entertainment systems are already showing ads. Now, even a quick trip to the refrigerator at midnight could be accompanied by unavoidable advertising.

Company’s Broader Strategy

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

A man takes a simple farm cattle trough and transforms it into a fully motorized boat by lining the tank with plywood, sealing everything with epoxy, and installing an outboard motor.

São Paulo sets up a “Wall of Fire” with satellites, artificial intelligence, thousands of cameras, and a partnership with Waze to tackle a severe El Niño, anticipate fire outbreaks, and protect 613 municipalities during the most critical phase of the year.

Brazilian works at 5,200 meters altitude in the Atacama Desert, where telescopes face -45°C and winds of 100 km/h to search for the oldest light in the Universe and investigate the beginning of everything nearly 14 billion years ago.

Anac and Decea are behind iFood’s drones in Barueri and explain how aerial delivery got the green light in Brazil, as orders leave the mall, cross the sky in a few minutes, and reveal the behind-the-scenes of new commercial drone deliveries in the country.

Two young Gauchos see bandage waste at school, transform aloe vera and chamomile into a bio-bandage that disappears in 48 hours, and win the largest young environmental award on the planet with R$ 60,000 for research.
