Samsung Enables Other TV Brands To Use Tizen OS

South Korean company Samsung has announced that it will for the first time grant licences for its Tizen OS TV platform to be used in non-Samsung TV models.

Samsung has joined up with Atmaca, HKC, and Tempo, three new ODMs, to produce Tizen OS-based smart TVs for diverse countries.

An unverified report last month made the collaboration public.

Due to the cooperation, these manufacturers now have access to Tizen OS features including Samsung TV Plus (a free streaming TV and video platform), Universal Guide for discovery and tailored recommendations, as well as Samsung's Bixby and other voice assistants.

These agreements provide customers with another option on less expensive smart TVs that may normally run on Android TV, Roku, or Amazon's Fire TV.

Although many of the companies named are probably unfamiliar to you, the fact that Samsung is making its Tizen platform available suggests that US-sold TVs may eventually support it.

Instead of using Android TV, Samsung's Smart TV and LG's webOS are both good choices because they both include strong search and personalisation features, as well as compatibility with Apple Airplay and several voice assistants (including their own plus Alexa and Google) (though not Chromecast).

The majority of TVs and streaming devices, including NVIDIA's Shield TV, continue to utilise Android TV despite the fact that Google TV is a significant upgrade. Google's goal is for all third-party devices to eventually run Google TV.
