To make its Smart TVs even more attractive, Samsung has just announced that the Tizen 9 update will arrive next year.
Competition is tough in the Smart TV sector, and manufacturers must be more inventive to be able to stand out from the crowd. In this little game, Samsung is far from being a pale figure since it can press They are pro OS, Tizenwhich continues to evolve to meet new consumer needs.
And the least we can say is that the Korean manufacturer pulled out all the stops with the 9th version of its operating system which should include a number of new features. Before its launch in 2025, let’s take stock of the main changes to come.
A modernized Samsung Tizen interface with One UI
The major work started by Samsung on Tizen 8 will continue with this new update, which will therefore include a One UI interface already present on certain televisions of the brand. Thanks to this, users will have access to new features such as a favorites list for streaming platformsas well as a redesigned and more ergonomic Game Bar. Making it easier to navigate.
At the same time, Tizen 9 will allow compatible Samsung Smart TVs to be able to connect to a Galaxy Watch to collect its data and display it on the screen. The desire therefore seems quite clear: take inspiration from the Apple ecosystem to interconnect all devices.
And at the same time, you should know that this update will include the CryptoCore functionality for improve security thanks to a new encryption system. An almost necessity at the moment, given that hackers are increasingly targeting Smart TVs.
A surprising launch timing, with an arrival from 2025
Despite the importance of this update, it is clear that Samsung didn’t do anything sensational to announce his arrival. Especially since the manufacturer didn’t even mention it during the Developer Conference last October.
Now that the announcement is official, we know that Tizen 9 will be gradually deployed on the models marketed by Samsung since 2023. Even if you will probably have to be patient, because most of them are not even compatible with the 8th version of the OS yet…
And as for televisions produced in 2025, you should expect to see Tizen 9 already installed as well as access to all future updates for 7 years. We just have to wait for CES 2025 to find out for sure.
