Samsung has announced that its Tizen software will be coming to other smart TVs in the near future. This software is designed to make smart TV usage more intuitive and easier to use. The software will be available on devices like the LG Smart TV, Sony Smart TV, and Samsung Smart TV. It will also be available on devices like the Amazon Fire TV and AppleTV. This software is a part of Samsung’s effort to make its products more user-friendly. It is hoped that this will help make smart TVs more popular and useful.
Samsung announced today that it has reached a deal with several other TV manufacturers to license the Tizen TV software, marking the first time that Samsung’s TV experience will be available on TVs sold by other companies. The license deal includes the Tizen platform and all available apps, as well as Samsung TV Plus, Universal Guide, and the Bixby voice assistant.
So, why does all this matter? Well, you might have more choices for software when it comes to your next smart TV, now that companies can theoretically sell TVs with identical hardware but several different software experiences. TCL has been doing that for a while — the company has primarily sold Roku-based TVs over the years, but recently expanded into Google TV models as well.
Samsung’s first manufacturing partners are Atmaca, HKC and Tempo, and Tizen is coming to TVs from brands like Bauhn, Linsar, RCA, Sunny, and Vispera. We’ll have to wait and see if any bigger brands are interested in Samsung’s software, like LG or TCL.
