But thanks to the food mode on the LG G7ThinQ you will be able to take mouth-watering pictures of your favourite dishes. Simply point your camera at the food and the AI Cam will detect the object, automatically switch to food mode, and adjust the saturation for the perfect photo.
The camera also has Google Lens built in, allowing you to find products online and get more information from your photo. This helpful application comes in particularly useful if you are browsing through a magazine and see a dish you want to recreate.

Fortunately, with the help of an LG InstaView ThinQ Fridge, you will never have to worry about missing that one crucial ingredient.

The HD transparent LCD touch-screen also allows you to set food expiration dates, leave notes for your family and even upload photos.
The InstaView ThinQ refrigerator is also compatible with SmartThinQ so you can create and instantly share shopping lists between your smartphone and fridge. You can remotely check on the contents of your fridge, meaning even if you are already at the grocery store you can see exactly what items you need. Should you not want to leave the house, then thanks to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, you can shop for food from the comfort of your own home simply by using voice commands.

With a fully stocked fridge and a phone brimming with recipes, you’ll want to showcase your cooking skills to family and friends. This can be a daunting challenge, but with the help of CLOi Home you will feel as though you have a team helping you every step of the way. The voice-enabled robot can smartly suggest recipes based on what’s available within your fridge. Then, when your menu is set, CLOi can preheat the oven to make sure every dish is delivered on time.
You can even use your NeoChef, with Smart Inverter, healthy cooking options and EasyClean method, for things that don’t fit in the oven – after all, it does a lot more than simply microwaving!
While cooking, your new companion in the kitchen will display videos of recipes on its screen and even adjust the dishwasher to a heavy duty cycle to clean all your cooking utensils.
With more time spent with guests rather than in the kitchen, CLOi can also help set the right atmosphere in the dining room. You can choose to display your favourites pictures on the television, stream your preferred playlist throughout the night or adjust the lighting within the room.
