- Tizen 9.0 rolls out to 2024 Samsung TVs
- European owners are already receiving the update
- Accessibility to 2023 TVs is still unknown
One of our favorite things about Samsung’s best TVs in 2025 is the upgraded Tizen operating system, which we think is the best version it has offered so far. So Tizen 90’s recent arrival at the 2024 model TVS is a very welcome upgrade.
My colleague James Davidson went into detail about Tizen 9.0 here and praised the updated gaming hub, the seemingly LG-inspired fast menu and the redesigned home screen.
It is not quite the Best Smart TV Platform -We expect LG’s Webos to still have the edge and the update removes the HGIG game HDR setting used for some livestreaming -but it is really good and will be welcome on older sets.
What Samsung -TV’s get the Tizen 9.0 upgrade?
According to Flatpanelshd, owners in Europe began getting firmware version 2106.0 this month, July 2025. It takes their operating system from Tizen 8.0 to Tizen 9.0.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that it will be a slow roll -out, with Samsung adding additional TVs to the upgrade program rather gradually – and that means it may take a few months before all compatible TVs are upgraded. If your TV is not one of the flagship models that may mean to wait a bit for the firmware to become available.
There is also uncertainty over 2023 model TVs, as Samsung has not yet committed to a schedule for upgrading these models. However, Samsung has promised seven years of updates to all models from 2023 and later, so it’s not a matter of whether these TVs get the update; It’s just a matter of when.
