Tizen OS Continues To Grow As Reliable Smart TV Platform

Following the launch of Samsung Tizen OS 8.0, the licensing program now includes prominent original design manufacturers (ODMs). This marks an important milestone in the evolution of the Tizen ecosystem and demonstrates strong global demand for Samsung’s acclaimed smart TV platform. In its licensing program, Samsung continues to build strategic partnerships with companies that prioritize high-quality products and reliable support throughout the entire value chain.

Additionally, Samsung Tizen OS will be embedded in new TVs from well-known brands in key markets, enhancing its presence across Europe, North and Latin America, and Australia. Notable new additions include EKO and QBELL (Ayonz) in Australia and Europe, RCA (Kayve Groupo) in Mexico, RCA (Treasure Creek) in the United States and Canada, and Axdia in Germany. Many more brands are expected to join in the second half of 2025 as Samsung continues to expand its strategic partnerships into new markets.

“We are proud to expand our RCA TV portfolio across Mexico and Latin America through our partnership with Samsung’s Tizen OS,” said Jonathan Vera, Head of Marketing & Communications, Grupo Kayve. “The Tizen team provides comprehensive technical and marketing support, enabling an agile go-to-market process.”

“Partnering with Samsung on Tizen OS allows us to deliver high-quality and competitive smart TV solutions to our global brand customers,” said Gerard Louis, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Axdia,

Premium Content and Connectivity at Core of Tizen OS-Powered Smart TVs

Samsung is also dedicated to continuous platform innovation, introducing smart features such as advanced content discovery, integration with Samsung TV Plus for FAST channel services, cloud gaming capabilities via Samsung Gaming Hub, and seamless multi-device connectivity through SmartThings. These enhancements ensure that licensees benefit not only from proven technology but also from a forward-looking platform that adapts to evolving consumer expectations.

To further differentiate Tizen-powered TVs at retail, Samsung offers tailored marketing kits and digital content toolkits for each region, enabling partners to highlight key attributes such as premium content access, fast performance, and smart connectivity—all backed by Samsung’s robust global brand credibility.

As the Tizen OS Licensing Program evolves to meet the needs of global partners, Samsung is broadening regional coverage, introducing more affordable hardware solutions, and enhancing app availability worldwide. Moreover, partners can gain access to Samsung’s specialized R&D support to confidently bring Tizen-powered smart TVs to market.

“Tizen OS is recognized for its performance, reliability, and innovation,” said Jooyoung Kim, Vice President at Samsung Electronics. “This year, we are focused on expanding our licensing program and creating diverse collaboration strategies for our key partners. We are serious about growing our global partner network and enhancing the ecosystem. By offering expanded regional support, an enriched app ecosystem, and tailored marketing resources, we aim to deliver even greater value to consumers worldwide.”

With Tizen OS extending beyond Samsung’s own TV offerings, the company remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering an open, robust, and premium smart TV experience for consumers around the world.

Samsung Electronics today announced the global launch of its 32-inch Color E-Paper (EM32DX model), expanding its portfolio of energy-efficient digital signage solutions. Featuring advanced digital ink technology, this latest model delivers ultra-low power consumption, high visibility and a lightweight design. As such, it is a more sustainable and flexible display alternative for businesses.

“Samsung is committed to pushing the boundaries of display innovation with solutions that enhance engagement while reducing energy consumption,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung’s Color E-Paper empowers businesses with highly efficient, customizable signage solutions that combine sustainability and performance.”

Energy-Efficient Digital Signage With Vivid Color

The new 32-inch Samsung Color E-Paper operates at 0.00W¹ when displaying static content. With a fully charged integrated battery, users have the ability to install and use Color E-Paper freely² without being connected to a power source. During content updates, the display still uses significantly less energy than the conventional digital signage, which helps reduce costs.

Equipped with QHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution, it leverages Samsung’s advanced color imaging algorithm to optimize color accuracy and readability. This optimization softens the edges of the image while creating smoother and more vibrant colors for an eye-catching display resembling traditional paper posters and retail promotional stands. For businesses, Color E-Paper enables a seamless transition from printed materials to enhanced digital displays.

Slim, Lightweight and Easy To Deploy

Weighing only 2.5kg³ and measuring 17.9mm thick, the display has a paper-thin design that allows for versatile placement on walls, tables and ceilings using the hanging accessories that come with it.⁴ With 13.9mm bezels on all sides, the display provides high usability in both landscape and portrait modes, while its VESA⁵ mount compatibility further expands installation options and enhances convenience for businesses. With two USB-C ports, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and 8GB of onboard storage, the display offers seamless integration for businesses to manage their content with ease.

Smart Content Management for Businesses

Available on Android and iOS mobile devices,⁶ the dedicated Samsung E-Paper app allows users easy control to directly create content, schedule display times and set up content on Color E-Paper devices. Additionally, the Samsung VXT⁷ (Visual eXperience Transformation) platform — which provides real-time remote control and intuitive content management of devices and effortless content creation — is now compatible with Color E-Paper. This allows for centralized device management and smooth integration with existing supported signage products. Samsung VXT also includes a feature uniquely tailored for Color E-Paper to optimize content visibility and a preview function to ensure colors are accurate before deployment.

For enterprises, Samsung VXT also supports real-time monitoring⁸ and centralized device management, streamlining content deployment across multiple locations. Powered by Samsung Tizen 8.0, businesses can integrate the display seamlessly into existing systems via Tizen Enterprise APIs.

Additionally, as part of Samsung’s broader commitment to sustainability, the Color E-Paper features a cover made from 55% recycled plastic material and comes in fully paper-based packaging — reflecting the brand’s efforts to reduce environmental impact.

Continued Leadership in the Global Digital Signage Market

Samsung has reaffirmed its position as the world’s leading digital signage manufacturer, holding the top spot for the 16th consecutive year since first reaching number one in 2009.⁹

In 2024, Samsung achieved a record market share of 34.6% in global digital signage sales by volume.¹⁰
