Samsung has announced that as part of its AI TV initiative, it will begin supporting its latest TVs with up to seven years of software updates. This brings Samsung's TV update strategy in line with its latest AI-powered smartphones, with news that the Galaxy S24 series will also receive seven years of software support.
The announcement made by the President of Samsung Electronics Visual Display Business Division, Yoon Seok-woo (and brought to our attention by Business Korea), confirms that the current crop of Tizen OS-powered smart TVs in Samsung's roster will be updated in 2031, which is excellent news if you've just splashed out on an S95D, QN95D or Q900D and are planning on making it last.
It appears that all Samsung TVs released this year will receive the full extent of the software support, while some selected 2023 models will also be graced with an extended life span. Samsung hasn't confirmed which models these are quite yet, but we presume the flagship models, such as the S95C, will take priority. We suspect that it will be seven years from the launch of the TV rather than this announcement date, so the 2023 models will most likely be updated until 2030.
