Samsung’s 2026 TV lineup in the UK is now fully on sale, and the biggest message is hard to miss: the company is making AI and connectivity central to its latest televisions. Buyers no longer have to wait for a staggered rollout, because the full range is already available across key segments from Micro RGB to UHD.
The expansion is not limited to picture quality. Samsung is also pushing Vision AI Companion beyond its premium tier and bringing it to TVs from 4K and above, which gives this year’s lineup a stronger focus on how the TV behaves as a smart device, not just how it displays content.
AI becomes a bigger part of the TV experience
Vision AI Companion adds several AI-driven features to Samsung’s newest TVs. Among them are Bixby with Perplexity support and Microsoft Copilot, both positioned to make interactions feel more intelligent and more personal.
Samsung is also including AI Upscaling Pro in the lineup. The feature uses AI to enhance lower-resolution content in real time, with the goal of improving depth, detail, and contrast as it plays.
For sports viewers, Samsung is also offering AI Football Mode. The mode is designed to analyze match scenes in real time and optimize both picture and sound for football content.
Connectivity gets more attention
Alongside the AI push, Samsung is widening Google Cast support across parts of the lineup. That gives more models a familiar way to share and stream content from other devices.
The addition matters because it makes Samsung’s 2026 TVs more useful for users already tied to cross-device streaming habits. It also reinforces the TV’s role as a central hub for the connected home, not just a display in the living room.
Premium models cover Micro RGB and OLED
At the top end, Samsung has made the Micro RGB R95H and R85H available in the UK. Both models come in sizes from 55 inches to 115 inches, giving the premium range a broad set of options for different room sizes.
Samsung says the Micro RGB models use Glare Free technology to reduce reflections. The company also points to additional hardware improvements intended to make colors look more lifelike.
The OLED side of the lineup is also live in the UK, with the S99H, S95H, S90H, and S85H now available. Samsung is clearly aiming these models at gamers as well, with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility included among the gaming features.
Mid-tier models still lean on image quality
Samsung is also highlighting the QN80H, QN70H, and QN80H for users who care most about picture quality. The company says these TVs can deliver 100% color volume even at high brightness levels.
That claim is especially relevant for people who watch in bright rooms, where keeping colors rich is often more difficult. In that setting, stronger color retention can make a noticeable difference in everyday viewing.
Mini LED options add more size choices
In the Mini LED category, Samsung has brought the M80H to the UK in sizes from 55 inches to 85 inches. The M70H is also available, ranging from 43 inches to 85 inches.
The broader size spread gives buyers more flexibility depending on where the TV will be used. Smaller panels can suit bedrooms or compact spaces, while larger models fit more easily into family rooms.
Samsung says all of the announced 2026 TVs are already available to buy in the UK through its official website. The company also notes that the site carries its best offers and discounts, making it the main channel for customers who want access to the latest lineup.
