Google Photos Is Coming to Samsung TVs in 2026

Samsung is bringing Google Photos to its 2026 AI TVs, offering curated memories, AI‑powered creations, and a more personal big‑screen experience

Samsung Electronics has revealed that it is working closely with Google to bring Google Photos directly to Samsung TVs, giving users a seamless way to enjoy their most meaningful memories on a bigger, more immersive screen. The upcoming integration is designed to help families rediscover their favorite moments  from travel adventures to everyday snapshots  in a warm, cinematic setting.

Kevin Lee, Executive Vice President of Samsung’s Visual Display Business, said the collaboration builds on Samsung’s long‑standing mission to make TVs a shared experience. He noted that bringing Google Photos to the living room will make personal memories feel more vivid and emotionally connected than ever before.

A More Personal Way to Enjoy Photos

Google Photos has long been a go‑to platform for organizing and reliving memories. With Samsung’s planned integration, photos captured on a user’s phone will appear effortlessly on the TV, offering a larger and more expressive canvas.

The experience will allow users to browse curated collections organized by people, places, and meaningful events. Samsung also plans to tie Google Photos into its Vision AI Companion (VAC), enabling smarter, context‑aware photo highlights throughout the day.

Samsung envisions Google Photos becoming a natural part of the TV interface. Features like Daily+ and Daily Board may surface memories automatically, greeting users with familiar moments as they move through their daily routines. Setup is expected to be simple: sign in with a Google Account, and the photo library appears instantly on the TV.

Three New Ways to Relive Memories

Samsung and Google have outlined three major Google Photos features planned for Samsung TVs in 2026. Each feature is designed to make personal memories more immersive, creative, and intelligently organized on the big screen.

1. Memories (Early 2026 - Samsung Exclusive)

The new Memories feature will bring curated photo stories to Samsung TVs for the first time. These collections are automatically organized by people, places, and meaningful moments. Samsung will have exclusive access to this feature for the first six months of its launch.

2. Create With AI (Late 2026)

Powered by Google DeepMind’s Nano Banana image generation model, the Create With AI feature introduces playful and creative tools. Users will be able to apply themed templates, remix the art style of photos, and even convert still images into short video clips using the Photo-to-Video option.

3. Personalized Results (Late 2026)

The Personalized Results feature will intelligently group related photos into themed slideshows. Whether it’s beaches, hiking trips, city tours, or special events, the TV will automatically surface collections based on topics and visual elements detected in the user’s library.
