Table 1. General features

Operating System Upgrade
  • Samsung Smart TV from the 2023 lineup onwards will support OS Upgrade.
    This means that the General Features are not fixed and can be changed every year.
  • For example, if an OS upgrade firmware is installed on a 2023 (Tizen 7.0) model,
    it can be installed as a Tizen 8.0 or later model firmware.
ImportantFor TV products, GCC 9.2.0 was used until the 2025 model, but GCC 14.2.0 was adopted from the 2026 model.
If you have binaries or libraries compiled with GCC 9.2.0, they must be rebuilt with GCC 14.2.0 for the 2026 product
to ensure proper functionality, as compatibility is not guaranteed otherwise.
