Just days after LG announced its latest OLED TV lineup, Samsung has taken the wraps off of its 2018 QLED TV lineup at its ‘First Look’ event in New York. The TVs ship with the company’s voice-based digital assistant, Bixby, out of the box, and focuses on AI and home automation by acting as a centralized platform for the Samsung SmartThings Hub. The range includes the Q9, Q8, Q7 and Q6 lineups, all of which will come in both flat and curved variants.
Overall, Samsung’s 2018 TV lineup will include 9 series across the QLED TV, Premium UHD, UHD and Ultra-Large Screen display range, and will be offered in a variety of display sizes. The following is the complete list as announced by the company:
