LG isn’t gonna let rival Samsung dominate the ridiculous smart refrigerator market. The company unveiled its own touchscreen fridge at CES on Wednesday with a bonus feature: Amazon Alexa integration, so you can do everything from stream music to place grocery orders with a simple voice command. Your move, Samsung.
LG’s new WiFi-connected Smart InstaView door-in-door refrigerator runs on the company’s webOS platform, which was originally developed for TVs. A 29-inch HD touchscreen display is embedded in the fridge’s right door, allowing you to browse recipes, watch videos, write memos to family mamebers, and keep track of important calendar events like birthdays and anniversaries. The fridge’s left panel is the InstaView part—knock twice and you can see what’s inside without opening the door and letting cool air escape. Inside the fridge is a panoramic camera which sends super-wide images of your fridge contents to your phone so you won’t buy groceries you don’t need while on the go.
