Samsung and Google announced they’re bringing Google Photos to Samsung TVs. Users will be able to view their photo libraries on TV screens starting in early 2026.
Setup and Access
Sign in with your Google Account on your Samsung TV and your photos appear automatically. No extra steps needed. Photos sync from your phone and display in full screen format. The feature works with Samsung’s Vision AI Companion (VAC) and shows up in Daily+ and Daily Board throughout the day.
Three New Features
Memories launches exclusively on Samsung TVs in early 2026. Samsung gets six months of exclusivity before the feature goes to other platforms. It shows curated stories grouped by people, locations, and key moments. This is the first time this Google Photos feature works on TVs.
Create with AI comes later in 2026. It uses Nano Banana, Google DeepMind’s image generation and editing model. You get themed templates for photo transformations. Remix lets you change the art style of images. Photo to Video turns still photos into short video clips.
Personalized Results also arrives later in 2026. It creates slideshows based on topics or what’s in your memories. Search for things like ocean, hiking, or Paris, and related photos play as a slideshow.
What the Companies Said
Kevin Lee, Executive Vice President of Samsung’s Visual Display Business Customer Experience Team, said the partnership makes TV viewing more personal by showing photo stories in your living room.
Shimrit Ben-Yair, Vice President of Google Photos and Google One, said Google Photos helps organize memories and the Samsung TV integration lets people enjoy photos on bigger screens.
Memories launches first in early 2026. The AI creation tools and personalized slideshows come later that year. Samsung TVs will work as photo galleries where you can browse collections, use AI to edit photos, and watch memories with family. Google Photos handles the organization while Samsung provides the display and AI features.
