Samsung fridge, mobile screen win Forbes Smart Home Awards

Samsung Electronics announced Monday that its Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator and mobile screen Moving Style have won Forbes' 2026 Smart Home Awards.

Forbes has operated its product-review platform Forbes Vetted since 2020. This year, it launched the Smart Home Awards for the first time, selecting 50 products across seven categories including kitchen appliances, home office and home entertainment. Category specialists spent seven months hands-on testing hundreds of products in real living spaces.

The Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator was the first product introduced among the 50 winners announced last month, and was the only refrigerator to make the list.

Forbes Vetted said the Samsung refrigerator stands out on its own merits — its organized storage layout and Beverage Center, which features a water dispenser and an auto-fill water pitcher, make it an excellent appliance. The 32-inch screen on the front door gives users access to everyday tools including a calendar, web browser, weather updates and a photo gallery.

Forbes Vetted also noted that an internal camera lets users check the refrigerator's contents through the Samsung mobile app while grocery shopping, making it easier to manage food and plan purchases.

The Bespoke AI Family Hub has previously received top marks from Forbes Vetted on two separate occasions.

It was named the overall best product in Forbes Vetted's "best refrigerators" roundup in May, and in October last year it also took the top overall spot in the outlet's "best smart refrigerators" evaluation.

The Moving Style mobile screen won in the home office category.

Tech analyst Avi Greengart, who participated in the awards judging, said it is "an ideal display that can serve as both a workspace and a leisure screen, with height adjustment and a rotation feature for watching short-form and vertical videos."

Forbes Vetted also highlighted the display's ability to stream content directly or watch live channels and on-demand programming through Samsung TV Plus, noting it extends the screen's usefulness well beyond work.

Its price of under $900 was cited as broadening consumer choice.

The Moving Style was also named the "best 4K wheel-stand monitor" in PCMag's 2026 best 4K monitors roundup published in August.
