Samsung is bringing free TV straight to your mobile with the launch of TV Plus streaming in Europe
London, UK – 22nd April 2021 – Samsung Electronics UK Ltd; – Samsung Electronics today announced that Samsung TV Plus, one of the top apps on Samsung Smart TVs, has launched, in the Galaxy Store and Google Play Store for select Galaxy smartphones. The app offers select Galaxy users instant access to 94 free channels with no need for any payments, sign-ups, subscriptions or additional devices.
After a successful launch of the service on mobile and tablet in the US last September, Samsung users in Europe are getting their turn.
From the 22nd April, Samsung Galaxy smartphone and tablet users will gain access to high-quality content from big-name brands like Vevo Pop, Teletubbies, Euronews and Bloomberg TV+, all available to enjoy on-demand for free. Samsung TV Plus also has its very own channel exclusive to the platform, ‘Comedy’, which hosts an array of great UK and US favourites such as Hot in Cleveland, Russell Howard’s Good News and Taskmaster Best Bits. With different shows and channels across seven EU territories and more channels being added constantly, there truly is something for everyone.
The service is already available on all Samsung Smart TV models manufactured from 2016 onward in twelve countries around the world, and will be made available on mobile and tablets today, in the UK and Germany, expanding to other European markets later this year. The mobile app will be exclusive to Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet owners, and available to download immediately to gain access to 100% free content for anyone with an internet connection.
From the 28th April, the service will also be accessible via Samsung’s brand new ‘Samsung Free’ page. With a single swipe right, users will be able to read news, play games and now watch TV Plus highlights straight from the home screen, making it easier than ever for users to access their favourite shows. Phones that upgrade to R OS or any Samsung phone model from 2021 will offer Samsung Free preloaded, while other users can choose Samsung Free from the Galaxy Store.
