Samsung plans to integrate Google Photos into its TVs, marking a significant development in home entertainment technology. This new feature will launch in early 2026, offering users the ability to view curated stories titled Memories, showcasing personal moments based on people and locations. Initially, this feature will be exclusive to Samsung TVs for a six-month period before potentially rolling out to other platforms.
In addition to Memories, Samsung will introduce support for Gemini Nano Banana AI technology later in the same year. This will allow users to create themed templates and transform images into short videos using features like Photo to Video and Remix. Another upcoming feature, Personalized Results, will enable users to see related photos as a slideshow based on specific themes such as vacations or hobbies.
This collaboration between Samsung and Google represents a new approach to integrating Google Photos into television interfaces, which has been primarily limited to Android TV and Google TV until now. The seamless experience aims to enhance user interaction with their cherished memories through various TV functionalities.
