Samsung is teaming up with Google to bring Google Photos directly to your TV, turning family photo albums into cinematic slideshows and AI-powered memory reels—starting 2026.
Sign in with your Google Account, and backed-up smartphone pics/videos appear in a large-screen gallery format. Explore curated stories by people, places, or moments, right alongside Samsung’s Vision AI Companion (VAC).
Three killer experiences rolling out:
- Memories (March 2026): Auto-curated stories from your trips, festivals, or family events. Samsung TVs get exclusive access for first 6 months.
- Create with AI (H2 2026): Remix photos with artistic templates or turn stills into short videos using Google DeepMind’s Nano Banana model.
- Personalized Results (H2 2026): Topic-based slideshows—like “Paris vacations” or “beach days”—perfect for family movie nights.
Photos integrate into Daily+ and Daily Board, surfacing contextual memories (wedding pics on anniversaries?). Works on 2026 models (Neo QLED, OLED, The Frame, etc.) with Google Account login. Older TVs get it via OS updates—availability varies by region.
Bonus: Samsung’s recent HDR10+ upgrade for Disney+/Hulu (1,000+ titles) pairs perfectly for movie nights after photo nostalgia.
Family reunion on the big screen, incoming!
