London, UK – 22^nd April 2021 – Samsung Electronics UK Ltd; – Samsung Electronics today announced that Samsung TV Plus, one of the top apps on Samsung Smart TVs, has launched, in the Galaxy Store and Google Play Store for select Galaxy smartphones.

After a successful launch of the service on mobile and tablet in the US last September, Samsung users in Europe are getting their turn.

From the 22nd April, Samsung Galaxy smartphone and tablet users will gain access to high-quality content from big-name brands like Vevo Pop, Teletubbies, Euronews and Bloomberg TV+, all available to enjoy on-demand for free.

Audiences should have the flexibility to consume shows they enjoy in whatever way suits them. This app will ensure people have access to high-quality shows and blockbusters for free whenever they want them – whether that’s at home or outside on the go as we start to enjoy places and services opening up again.”
