Samsung Joins The AI Bandwagon, This Time With Its Neo QLED 8K Smart TVs
The latest samsung TV lineup operates on the company's proprietary Tizen OS and features defense-grade in-house Knox to safeguard against emerging cyber threats and phishing attempts.
With artificial intelligence (AI) being the hottest buzzword in the tech industry, South Korean tech giant samsung has become the first tv manufacturer to join the AI bandwagon for its tv sets. The tech major has taken the first step to making smart TVs friendlier and smarter with AI and unveiled its ultra-premium Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K, and OLED TVs at its flagship event "Unbox & Discover".
To recall, earlier this year, samsung had debuted its flagship Galaxy S24 series with built-in Galaxy AI features.
This line-up of Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K and OLED TVs come with solutions driven by AI to enhance user experience in terms of visuals and sounds and powered by its proprietary NQ8 AI Gen3 processor. Notably, this is the same range that was announced earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 in Las Vegas. The latest TV lineup boasts various AI-integrated functionalities and comes in a range of screen sizes spanning from 55 inches to 98 inches.
Over 90% Of Samsung's business Comes From Locally Manufactured TVs
More than 90 percent of the company's business comes from tv sets manufactured in india, according to Mohandeep Singh, Senior Vice-President, of Visual Display Business, at Samsung India.
"Indian-manufactured television sets bring us over 90 percent business. Some of the super large screen sizes, like 98 inches, etc. which are not viable to produce in India, and comprise high-end technologies, we still import from outside. It is about economical we can make it here," Singh said.
Samsung's New AI TVs Are Protected Against Cyber Attacks
The latest samsung TV lineup operates on the company's proprietary Tizen OS and features defense-grade in-house Knox to safeguard against emerging cyber threats and phishing attempts.
Our TVs come equipped with built-in Knox security, ensuring that all data encryption is performed directly on the device itself. This means the encryption key remains on the device and isn't transmitted to a server, providing a secure system. This is especially crucial as our televisions can connect to IoT hubs and other smart devices," Singh further noted
