Samsung TV Plus now lets you watch TV for free on your phone
Samsung TV Plus is undergoing a huge global expansion, bringing the free TV streaming service to more devices – and countries – than ever before. Dix autres régions ont obtained a support pour Samsung TV Plus sur les nouveaux téléviseurs Samsung, en ajoutant l'Inde, la Belgique, le Danemark, la Finlande, l'Inde, le Luxembourg, les Pays-Bas, la Norvège, le Portugal et Sweden. This comes shortly after moving to Australia, Brazil and Mexico at the end of 2020, dramatically increasing the number of countries where the service is available. But perhaps the most notable change is that Samsung TV Plus has come to mobile devices, allowing users to access a host of free TV channels on select Samsung Galaxy phones "running Android O or higher." The mobile app technically launched a few months ago in the US, but we're only now seeing it hit the UK, Germany, India, and Canada in April. Samsung tells us that “app users in France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Austria will also be able to enjoy Samsung TV Plus mobile experiences during the first half of 2021”, which means that anyone in these countries will not have to wait too long The service is limited to Samsung Galaxy phones, so you won't find it on any older Android phone, and certainly not an iPhone, which makes sense given Samsung's competition with Apple in the smartphone business.

Samsung's free TV streaming service has always had an odd place on Samsung's Tizen operating system. The new Samsung TVs will come with a dedicated app for the service, though it will also be possible to simply scroll through a TV's home screen, with Samsung TV Plus pushing up as a bookmark below the usual circle of streaming apps. Anyone with a few subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, etc., probably won't make much use of the free service, which offers a handful of TV channels in most countries if there are more than 100. Key markets like the United States. And those of you with the cash for a Samsung Galaxy phone will probably be able to afford some streaming subscriptions. But for those who just want something to watch, with no payment barriers, the rise of free TV streaming services can only be a good thing. Rakuten TV also offers a wealth of free content and channels, along with an extensive rental or paid catalog of the latest movies and shows. Hisense has also been experimenting with a new Vidaa Free app on its smart TVs, though it currently allows you to bypass YouTube videos, so we'd say Samsung's offering is deeper than most.
