Samsung has initiated a major transformation in the world of smart televisions and started to offer its new One UI interface based on Tizen 9.0 to its users. This giant update, which aims to eliminate the performance losses and the cumbersome user interface felt especially in the 2023 model OLED and Neo QLED series, brings the television’s operating system to the fluidity of a modern smartphone.

With the new version, not only a visual innovation is offered, but also chronic problems such as the automatic start problem of “Samsung TV Plus” and hangups in menu transitions, which users have been complaining about for a long time, are also resolved.

• System Performance and Fluency:The slowdown problems that occurred with the Tizen 8 version have been completely resolved, and the television’s startup and menu transition speeds have been doubled.

• Modern One UI Design:The design language we are accustomed to from Galaxy phones and tablets was transferred to televisions, providing a more consistent and aesthetic user experience.

• Smart Control and Customization:While unauthorized opening of Samsung TV Plus is prevented, functional improvements such as quick access to the settings menu and multi-window support have been added.

Performance Revolution with Tizen 9.0

Samsung’s new generation operating system, Tizen 9.0, leaves behind old structures that tire the hardware and keep the user waiting. Many users describe this update as the “rebirth of the device”, which makes their televisions faster than the day they first bought them. The 1-2 second delays experienced when entering the settings menu in old versions have decreased to milliseconds with the new version. This speed increase, especially felt in popular models such as S90C and QN90C, is due to background optimizations that enable the television to use its processor power much more efficiently.

Samsung TV Plus is More “Calm” Now

One of the biggest complaints of users, the problem of the Samsung TV Plus application starting to broadcast automatically every time the television is turned on or while navigating through the menus, is a thing of the past with Tizen 9.0.

The new update allows this service to work only when the user really wants it and launches the application. In addition, the fact that the channel change buttons on the remote control only function when you are in an active application prevents you from being accidentally directed to content you do not want.

Visual Innovations and Readability Improvements

Tizen 9.0 spreads the One UI design language used by Samsung on its mobile devices to every corner of the screen. Every detail, from icons to fonts, from notification windows to the transparency effects used in the quick settings panel, has a more modern appearance.

However, this visual change could cause text and icons to appear smaller on some screens. Samsung solves this situation with the “Menu and Text Zoom” feature it added under the “Accessibility” settings, ensuring that users of all ages can easily see the interface.

New Standards in Gaming and Multimedia Experience

Updates made by Gaming Hub offer a more personalized home page for game lovers. The artificial intelligence-supported image processing features that we see in 2026 model televisions are partially reflected in older models with this update.

Thanks to the “AI Optimization” mode, the screen is analyzed in real time and the best image quality is automatically adjusted according to the content watched. Additionally, with improvements made to the Multi View feature, volume control is made independent for both users when two different Galaxy Buds headphones are connected at the same time.

How to Install the Update?

Samsung continues to gradually distribute the Tizen 9.0 update worldwide. If your television does not give an automatic update warning, you can follow these steps to check it manually:

1. From your remote control SettingsPress the (Settings) key.

2. All SettingsGo to the tab.

3. SupportFrom the (Support) menu Software UpdateLog in to the section.

This move by Samsung proves once again that it cares about the experience of its existing users rather than just selling new devices, and how critical software support is in the smart TV ecosystem.
