Hands-free kitchen: Samsung Family Hub voice-activated door arrives at CES 2026
Samsung introduces voice-activated door opening for its Family Hub fridges at CES 2026. Use Bixby commands to open the door fully to 90 degrees.
Ever tried to open the fridge with your elbows because your hands were covered in flour? Those kitchen gymnastics might soon be a thing of the past. Samsung has unveiled a software update for its Family Hub line at CES 2026 that brings fully hands-free operation to the refrigerator door.
Samsung Family Hub voice-activated door: A Bixby Upgrade
According to a report from The Verge, the latest update integrates Bixby voice control directly into the door's mechanical system. Users can now simply say, "Open the fridge door," and the machine will comply. Samsung stated in their press release that the door won't just crack open; it will swing to a full 90 degrees or more, providing unobstructed access to groceries.
Touch and Voice Synergy
The functionality isn't limited to voice alone. For moments when you'd prefer a physical nudge, a simple tap with your palm or the back of your hand can activate the movement. This dual-approach aims to keep the fridge clean and make the kitchen workflow more fluid. This feature is part of Samsung's broader push at CES 2026 to make smart appliances more intuitive and responsive to human context.
