Google Photos will be available on your Samsung TV next year.
Nano Banana-powered image editing is also in the works.
Samsung TVs are poised for a significant update in 2026, allowing users to view their fondest memories on a larger screen. The company announced today its plans to integrate Google Photos into its smart TVs and monitors, enabling users to access their library from their sofa.
In addition to allowing users to scroll through their photos and videos, Google Photos on Samsung TVs will categorize memories by individuals, locations, and events, making it easier to view highlights quickly. It will also work seamlessly with Samsung’s Vision AI Companion to showcase important memories on the Daily+ and Daily Board displays.
The rollout will commence with Samsung’s 2026 TV lineup early next year, introducing the Memories feature first to the new models. Samsung has assured that older TVs and monitors will receive the feature through a software update later in the year.
Enhance your memories with Nano Banana
Samsung also intends to launch a Nano Banana-powered “Create with AI” feature for its TVs in late 2026. This will provide users with themed templates for creating and transforming images, remixing their photos with fresh art styles, and even converting still images into short videos.
Commenting on the integration, Kevin Lee, Executive Vice President of the Consumer Experience Team at Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Business, stated, “Samsung TVs have consistently united people, and integrating Google Photos onto the big screen enhances that personal experience. Through this collaboration, we assist users in rediscovering and reliving precious moments by illuminating the stories behind their photos — all from the comfort of their living room.”
The integration of Google Photos will enable users to do more than just watch films and shows on their Samsung TVs. From revisiting family memories to trying out creative edits, users will be able to engage with their memories in a larger, more interactive manner, all while remaining on their couch.

However, for those planning a dedicated theater room or an upgrade that surpasses any TV, this price of $4,999.99 (down from $5,999.99) presents a discount that makes justifying a high-end projector like this more feasible.
