TL;DR
- Samsung TVs are finally getting native Google Cast, ending years of reliance on Smart View.
- The feature is coming to select 2023 and 2024 models via a One UI Tizen update.
- Rollout appears gradual, with users already spotting it on models like the S90D OLED.
For a long time, Samsung TVs ran on their own Tizen-based interface instead of Android TV, which meant one frustrating limitation: no native Google Cast support. If you wanted to cast from an Android phone, you usually had to use Samsung’s Smart View, which worked best with Galaxy devices and felt like a workaround for everyone else.
That’s now changing. Samsung has already confirmed that its 2026 TV lineup will include built-in Google Cast. Now, the company is bringing this feature to some older models, specifically select 2023 and 2024 TVs, through a new One UI Tizen update.
