Samsung has launched Samsung TV Plus, a service which offers consumers of Samsung Smart televisions free TV content, with ad-supported select live channels and on-demand videos, with no additional device such as a set-top box. This works on Samsung Smart TVs (2017 model onwards) with internet connection, said the company.
In India, Samsung TV Plus is now available
across all Smart TV models from 2017 to 2021 and users will be able to access
27 global and local channels, and doesn’t require any downloads, sign-ups,
credit cards, subscriptions or additional devices. More partners will be
on-boarded soon to make the service more robust, said Samsung.
Samsung said that the TV Plus will also be
available on most Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablet devices with Android
Oreo OS or higher software version, and the services for Galaxy smartphones are
expected in April 2021 through Samsung Galaxy Store and Google Play Store.
With the launch in India, Samsung TV Plus
is now available in 14 countries including the US, Canada, Korea, Switzerland,
Germany, Austria, UK, Italy, France, Spain, Australia, Brazil and Mexico.
Globally, Samsung TV Plus offers Samsung Smart TV and Galaxy smartphone user’s
access to 800+ channels spanning news, sports, entertainment, and much more.
