Samsung has just expanded its Tizen OS 8.0 licensing program—bringing the software to RCA-branded TVs in the U.S. and Canada. Partnership via Treasure Creek means RCA will soon offer smart TVs powered by the same OS found in Samsung’s own sets. Support from Samsung extends to marketing, content, and technical integration.
Key Features:
📺 Samsung TV Plus: live streaming & FAST channels
🎮 Gaming Hub: console‑free cloud gaming
🏠 SmartThings: smart home and multi‑device compatibility
Samsung’s goal? Make Tizen a global standard—challenging Android TV, Roku, and Fire TV by giving consumers more powerful and affordable TV options. RCA’s new models will hit stores later in 2025.
