Samsung Malaysia has launched its full range of 2026 model year smart TVs in various segments, with panel types including Micro RGB, OLED, Neo QLED, Mini LED and regular UHD models, along with new soundbars and speakers tagging along. We already know the company is very committed on AI for its smartphone business, so it’s no surprise that AI is once again taking the center stage, for better or worse.
The 2026 lineup extends Samsung Vision AI Companion features across 4K-and-above TV models – in other words, you get access to various chatbots like Samsung’s in-house Bixby, Perplexity and even Microsoft Copilot “to make the TV experience more intelligent and personalized,” including suggestions on “what to watch, what to eat and what to listen to.” Let’s just say the South Korean electronics giant probably didn’t get the memo on Copilot’s stinking reputation right now (or AI chatbots, in general).
On the more TV-adjacent side of things as far as software features go, the new TVs get features like (brace for AI jargon) AI Upscaling Pro, Color Booster Pro, AI Soccer Mode, and AI Sound Controller Pro. There’s also a bunch of AI branding for its onboard processors and model-specific features in case you haven’t got truly sick of the endless two-letter spewing by this industry at this point.
Samsung 2026 TV Lineup
On the actual hardware, Samsung’s Micro RGB lineup is available in the R95H and R85H series in sizes ranging from 65-115 inches. The “Micro RGB” bit means the display uses individually controlled red, green and blue micro LEDs – as opposed to white backlight in conventional Mini-LED implementations – for color and brightness control, alongside Glare Free technology designed to reduce reflections in bright environments. The lineup also includes Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, 100% BT.2020 gamut coverage, and, you guessed it, more AI-powered features in the form of Micro RGB Color Booster Pro and Micro RGB HDR Pro.
Moving on, the OLED TV lineup includes the S95H, S90H and S85H series, with Glare Free technology expanded beyond S95F series to S95H and S90H variants. The S95H includes Pantone Validated ArtfulColor support, Art Store integration and a FloatLayer design that gives the TV “a lighter, more refined presence.” Gaming-focused features across the OLED lineup include Motion Xcelerator 165Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible certifications, while AI Soccer Mode is available on all three (with S95H and S90H getting the Pro version of the feature).
Samsung has also expanded its The Frame series with the introduction of The Frame Pro and a built-in installation version of The Frame. The Frame Pro features Neo QLED for its underlying panel 9with Pantone ArtfulColor and Glare Free technology), plus Wireless One Connect connectivity and a 24.9mm slim profile, while the built-in installation of The Frame is designed to simplify the in-wall wiring process while maintaining the model’s flush-to-wall look.
The Neo QLED lineup includes the QN80H and QN70H series, available in sizes ranging from 50-100 inches and 43-85 inches respectively. Samsung notes this lineup of TVs use blue backlight to produce stable color spectrum through the quantum dot sheet, and you’ll also find its Quantum Mini LED technology in its display sandwich to deliver 100% color volume. Processing and upscaling duties are handled by the NQ4 AI Processor, with select models supporting 144Hz refresh rates for gaming.
Samsung’s Mini LED lineup includes the M80H and M70H series. The M80H series, available in 55-85 inches, supports 144Hz refresh rate, featuring NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor and AI Sound Controller feature; while the M70H in 43-85 inch options is a cheaper option that primarily focus on the basic processing functions with its Mini LED Processor 4K and basic Motion Xcelerator feature.
The company confirmed that selected 2026 Mini LED, Neo QLED and Crystal UHD TVs will support Google Cast integration, while Google Photos functionality will also be introduced on eligible 2026 Samsung TVs through Samsung Daily+, Daily Board and the Google Photos app, with additional features expected later in the year. Pricing starts from RM14,999 for the Micro RGB series, RM12,999 for the OLED series, RM12,999 for The Frame Pro, RM9,899 for the Neo QLED series, and RM6,399 for Mini LED models.
Samsung 2026 Audio Lineup
Alongside the TV lineup, Samsung introduced its latest Q-Series soundbars led by the HW-Q990H flagship model. The 11.1.4-channel soundbar system, which combines a 7.0.2-channel main bar, 4.0.2-channel rear speakers and a dual 8-inch driver active subwoofer, includes Samsung’s Sound Elevation technology, Dolby Atmos support and AI-powered sound optimization features such as Auto Volume. The new Q-Series lineup starts from RM2,499 for the HW-Q600H, all the way up to RM6,499 for the flagship.
For its lifestyle audio category, Samsung introduces Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 speakers – the former supports 3.1.1-channel audio, Dolby Atmos and expanded Q-Symphony connectivity for pairing with Samsung TVs, while the latter is designed as a compact wireless speaker with AI Dynamic Bass Control and Dolby Atmos support. Both speakers are listed at the price of RM1,999 and RM1,199, respectively.
