When it comes to software updates, Samsung is one of the brands that delivers upgrades to its smartphones and tablets on time. However, the software updates across the company’s ecosystem of devices like smart TVs have always been fragmented. But, Samsung has just delivered a One UI update for its smart TVs. The first-ever update for the brand’s TVs is still based on Tizen OS.
Samsung Smart TVs are getting their first-ever One UI software update
The first One UI update for the Samsung smart TVs is unifying the software experience across the company’s devices. The new update was first announced a few days ago at the Samsung Developer Conference 2024. According to SamMobile, the update is currently available for the Samsung S90C OLED TV. The new firmware is based on the latest 8.0 version of the Tizen operating system.

The company has reportedly rebranded the OS of its TVs to the One UI umbrella. It is said to create a more cohesive experience for Samsung product users. The update brings several new features and a new user interface for the Samsung smart TVs. The new home screen of the TVs now has three new tabs including “For You”, “Live”, and “Apps”. There’s also a new “Watch Later” functionality, which allows users to save content for viewing in the future.
It brings standard icons for various apps to unify the software experience across devices
Furthermore, the first-ever update for the Samsung smart TVs brings a redesigned game bar. There’s also a new Daily Board, which shows up new wallpapers and useful widgets. With the latest update, you will also get continuity futures. These allow you to use other Samsung products linked to the same account as a keyboard and a mouse.
You will also get standard icons for various apps like Bixby, Gallery, Samsung Internet, and SmartThings. This is how Samsung is unifying the software experience across devices. Samsung has rolled out the new update over the air in a phased manner. So, not all the Samsung smart TVs will be getting the One UI update at once.
