the most dependable smart TV manufacturers available, with its smart TVs ranking among the top.

Nonetheless, one of Samsung’s primary rivals in this arena is Google TV. Based on the Android TV operating system, Google TV provides its own range of advantages, such as a wide array of applications, integrated Google Assistant, and an emphasis on content exploration. While these features enable Google TV to deliver a tailored smart TV experience, there are several aspects where Samsung Tizen manages to surpass its competitors.

Gamers will find value in Samsung Tizen’s gaming hub, which permits playing console games directly on your TV without the necessity of launching multiple separate applications. Smart home fans will appreciate its integration with Samsung SmartThings, which accommodates both Samsung devices and select third-party offerings. Tizen also features a more efficient user interface compared to Google TV, along with access to a plethora of free movies and TV series via its Samsung TV Plus service. Below, we highlight four reasons why Samsung Tizen excels over Google TV.

Samsung’s Gaming Hub

Launched in 2022, Samsung’s Gaming Hub serves as a comprehensive gaming platform enabling you to stream games straight to your television, available in Samsung 4K and 8K smart TVs since 2022.

This unified gaming hub supports Xbox Game Pass, Nvidia GeForce Now, and more, allowing you to cloud stream compatible titles without needing to turn on your console. All you require is a controller, a reliable internet connection, and a subscription to the appropriate gaming service. This facilitates playing games like “Halo,” “Fallout,” and even “The Sims 4” on your Samsung TV, with the app also suggesting additional games to explore.

Although Google TV’s Android TV OS provides cloud gaming through its support for Nvidia GeForce Now Cloud Gaming and Steam Link, these services must be accessed via individual apps (with platforms such as Amazon Luna necessitating sideloading). You cannot access all of them in a single location as you can with Samsung’s unified gaming hub. While native support for Xbox Game Pass is slated for Google TV through an update in May 2026, it will initially be available solely for TCL TVs.
