No longer are refrigerators simple cooling contraptions

Home appliances is an area of the industry where Samsung has quite a few products on sale, and a new one has just appeared, albeit only in its home market.

Called Zipel T9000, it is a refrigerator, double size, which has four doors and, more importantly, a built-in 10.2-inch touchscreen LCD.

Said screen allows owners to access calendar memos, recipes, news, weather, photos, etc., all via Wi-Fi.

That said, the fridge can be compartmentalized, with the lower right capable of turning into a freezer, or storage for dietary food, or whatever else.

The Triple Cooling system (maintains humidity levels, keeping food fresh) is another boon, and there is, of course, a water and ice dispenser too.

The Zipel T9000 will sell in Korea for 5,490,000 won / $4,910 / 3,824 Euro.
