Google always seems to find a way to make Google Assistant available on more devices. Today, Samsung has announced that it is bringing Google Assistant functionality to certain Samsung smart TVs starting later this year.
The company revealed on Samsung.com that Google Assistant is set to join Amazon Alexa and Bixby as the voice assistants supported by 2020 Samsung television models.
Google Assistant On Samsung TVs
Google Assistant on Samsung TVs can do just about anything it could do on another device, such as a Google Nest speaker. It can also control the TV with voice commands such as changing the channel, adjusting the volume, controlling playback, opening apps, and more.
Samsung TVs will also be able to control your smart home, provide information on the weather, and use Google services like Search, Photos, Maps, and Calendar.
If you want to enable Google Assistant on your Samsung smart TV, you need to head to Settings, then General, followed by Voice, and lastly Voice Assistant. From there, you can choose between Google Assistant, Alexa, or Bixby.
When and Where Is Google Assistant Coming to Samsung TVs?
Samsung announced that all 2020 4K and 8K QLED TVs, Crystal UHD TVs, The Frame, The Serif, The Sero, and The Terrace will receive Google Assistant.
The company announced that Google Assistant is available now in the UK, France, Germany, and Italy. After that, Google Assistant is set to roll out in 12 other countries. These include Spain, Brazil, India, and South Korea.
For the US, Samsung made Google Assistant available last month, so anyone in the United States with a 2020 Samsung TV is already enjoying the functionality.
