Samsung Unveils 2025 TV Lineup with Advanced AI Features and Massive Screens

Samsung's 2025 Televisions Get More Huge, More 8K and More AI

For 2025, Samsung has dropped two five new ranges of TVs, including two featuring 8K resolutions, with sizes up to 115 inches and promising enhanced picture quality. The company's new ranges consist of the flagship QN990F 8K, the more "affordable" QN900F 8K plus the QN90F, QN80F and QN70F 4K ranges. These TVs will encompass the company's new Vision AI features promising enhanced processing, real time translations, "click to search" and motion control with a Galaxy Watch. The three QN9xx ranges will also include the company's Glare Free tech as seen on TVs like the S95 OLED. Starting at the top, the company's new 98-inch QN990F 8K TV will cost an eye-watering $40,000. In contrast, this 115-inch TCL is "only" $20,000, though it features a lower, 4K resolution. This Samsung TV, and the remaining QN990F models, will feature 8K upscaling, Motion Xcelerator 240Hz processing, a Wireless One Connect Box and dedicated top speakers for Dolby Atmos. Meanwhile the "step down" Q900F 8K will feature a Metal Frame design, Motion Xcelerator 165Hz and Object Tracking Sound for tracking on screen content. In 2025, Samsung is the only company so far to announce new 8K TVs, while a general lack of 8K adoption has been attributable to both a lack of content and much higher prices than a 4K model. For 2025, Samsung is introducing three new ranges of 4K QLEDs which incorporate "Quantum Matrix Mini LEDs" for enhanced brightness and color. The flagship QN90F series will NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor plus the Motion Xcelerator 165Hz Meanwhile, the QN80F and QN70F ranges will feature the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor and the promise of tear-free gaming with Motion Xcelerator 144Hz. It was only two years ago that Samsung had the largest TVs in the market at 98 inches, but these have been eclipsed by both Hisense and TCL. Samsung is now playing catch-up with a 100-inch QN80F and a 115-inch QN90F coming later this year -- both at 4K resolution and pricing to be announced. Notably, the company has not announced an 8K in these sizes. All of the TVs are available now, bar the QN70F, which comes later. Sizes and pricing are as follows:

I saw every Samsung QLED TV releasing in 2025 - these standout features had me hooked

The TV launch season is upon us, and Samsung is among the first brands to put out its 2025 lineup of visual goodness. I recently had the opportunity to scope out some new TVs at one of Samsung's satellite laboratories in New Jersey, putting every upcoming model through the ringer and seeing just how well they stack up to the company's early-year claims. Also: How to clear the cache on your TV (and why it makes such a big difference) Below are my initial takeaways (read: this isn't a review) on the company's Neo QLED 4K and 8K models, which are up for preorder now, as well as the new Vision AI features that underpin the 2025 viewing experience. Unsurprisingly, a major emphasis at the workshop was Samsung's latest artificial intelligence tech, Vision AI, which is integrated into all the company's new TVs. While Vision AI's capabilities span the user experience, from browsing and searching to watching foreign movies, the following caught my attention the most. Are you a fan of foreign films? Sometimes, the most obscure (and best) international movies lack English subtitles. Vision AI is a near-instant translator for seven different languages on new Samsung TVs. While this isn't necessarily a new feature in tech -- several Android smartphones, including Samsung's own, already support live transcriptions -- the ability to do this from the comfort of your couch or bed is very useful. Also: Having trouble hearing whispery TV dialogue? I found 3 ways to fix that We have good reason to believe that number will expand after future updates since Samsung's latest mobile devices already support translation of 13 languages through its "Live Translate" feature. I often find myself pausing a show to look up information on my iPhone to identify an actor, a set's filming location, or a song playing in the background. Samsung's Vision AI can do all that at the touch of a button, without even pausing what you're watching. But purportedly, it's also doing next-level things, like naming the designers of one of Carrie Bradshaw's outfits or the make and model of James Bond's car in the original Goldfinger. I'll have to further test Click to Search at ZDNET's TV lab to evaluate its reliability. If it can name The Dude's rug that tied the room together, I'll be really impressed. Generative art for slideshow wallpaper and smart home insights are becoming almost standard features in TVs of a certain price point, so I'm just mentioning here that these features are included in all new Samsungs. But how many TVs can you control just by pinching your fingers together or making a fist? Also: I spent hours testing Samsung's new flagship soundbar - it gave my Sonos a run for its money If you have a Galaxy Watch, then this can be your reality, thanks to the feature known as Universal Gestures, which detects the motions of your fingers, hand, and wrist to perform certain functions. We've seen this kind of thing in futuristic movies and scenes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Is Samsung driving our interactions with devices in that direction? Both flagship models (QN90F and QN990F) offer Glare-Free technology, which utilizes a matte screen finish that absorbs and scatters light instead of reflecting it. Ideally, this minimizes reflections from windows and overhead lights, and I can attest that this was the case when I moved off-axis during the demo. Until recently, this light-refracting tech was limited to Samsung's top-notch (i.e., most expensive) OLED screens like the S95F. The Neo QLED 4K (QN90F) has an upgraded NQ4 Gen3 processor, powerful enough to run the TV's "Vision AI" feature, upscale older content into 4K, and improve overall picture and sound quality. Its Neo Quantum HDR+11 is said to boost contrast, color accuracy, and dynamic range, surpassing even that of standard OLED TVs. These enhancements, like the smoother 165Hz refresh rate ideal for console gamers, make the QN90F the premium product we should expect from a Samsung flagship. Also: The best Samsung TVs of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed Also noteworthy is the array of sizes the QN90F comes in -- from a modest 43 inches to a gargantuan 115 inches. And if you go that big, Samsung offers its Supersize Picture Enhancer. This feature aims to mitigate the inherent problems with super-large screens by reducing pixelation, deepening black levels, and tightening noise reduction. While the enhanced crispness was there when I looked at the larger-sized TVs, I also noticed a more intense blooming and motion blur. Some modifications in the settings should greatly alleviate those issues, but they're still worth mentioning if you're planning to splurge on one of these sets. Speaking of which, the Neo QLED 4K QN90F is available now for the following prices: The Neo QLED 8K (QN990F) essentially comes with the above upgrades on its own graduated scale (for example, an NQ8 Gen2 processor to drive its Vision AI). The major difference is that the Neo QLED 8K can handle the wizardry behind Samsung's Wireless One Connect Box, which allows for cable-free transmission of 8K content at 120Hz. Also: I saw Samsung's 8K TV at CES 2025 - and these 3 new features stole the show Set-top boxes, multiple game consoles, Blu-ray players, soundbars, and all manner of peripherals can run through the One Connect as long as the box is situated within ten feet of the TV. Moving all the IO away from the 8K set gives it a cleaner aesthetic, with minimal cabling required. The big question to answer now is latency and exactly how response times will fare when gaming or requiring quick inputs. At Samsung's workshop, I sampled the Neo QLED 8K by watching videos of vibrant neon signage, firework spectaculars, and entrancing aerial drone cityscapes. Its imaging is superb, almost painfully perfect. The new Metal Frame design adds a nice touch of premium, but more practically, the metal frame encases a built-in speaker system with a crazily potent 6.2.4-channel setup that includes Object Tracking Sound. OTS is one of my favorite Samsung inventions because it follows the movement of onscreen objects, creating a convincingly lifelike, three-dimensional soundscape, all without an accompanying soundbar or speaker system. (But if you want to make the most of the visual fidelity of an 8K screen, you absolutely should pair it with expanded audio gear.) The Neo QLED 8K QN990F is available now for $3,299 (65-inch) and $4,299 (75-inch). Stay tuned for our full analysis and breakdown of the new Samsung TVs as we get them into our lab for review.

Today, Samsung has announced pricing and availability for the QN900F 8K (the 65- and 75-inch version), QN90F and QN80F 4K QLEDs, and the HW-Q990F and HW-Q800F soundbars. The 85-inch QN900F and entire QN990F 8K and QN70F 4K series will be released at an as-yet-unannounced date. Samsung Neo QLED 4K 2025 TVs The Samsung flagship TV most of us are likely interested in is the QN90F -- successor to last year's QN90D. The QN90F will feature Samsung's Glare-Free technology which is being incorporated into more and more of its TVs since debuting on the S95D QD-OLED TV. It uses the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor, and will upscale sub-4K resolution content, while using Neo Quantum HDR+ to boost brightness. Motion will be handled by Motion Xcelerator 165Hz. The QN90F is available in a broad range of sizes (although the 115-inch will not be available until later in the year). 115-inch QN90F: Coming later in 2025 98-inch QN90F: $14,999 85-inch QN90F: $4,499 75-inch QN90F: $3,299 65-inch QN90F: $2,699 55-inch QN90F: $1,999 50-inch QN90F: $1,499 43-inch QN90F: $1,399 Alongside the QN90F will be the QN80F, which uses the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor (as opposed to the Gen3 on the QN90F), 4K AI Upscaling, and Motion Accelerator 144Hz.

Samsung Neo QLED 8K 2025 TVs Samsung is the only manufacturer we're aware of planning to produce new 8K TVs in 2025, and the top of its 8K line is the QN990F series. It uses the company's most advanced NQ8 AI Gen3 processor with 8K AI Upscaling Pro to upscale any content to 8K (considering there still isn't a huge selection of native 8K content beyond some YouTube video). The QN990F also incorporates Samsung's Glare-Free technology. The all-new Wireless One Connect Box allows for a wireless connection of up to 30 feet (the TV's power cord will still need to be plugged in, obviously). The QN990F uses Motion Xcelerator 240Hz for motion smoothing with sports and games, and AI Motion Enhancer Pro aimed to improve things like moving text. Dolby Atmos sound is supported and Object Tracking Sound Pro uses AI algorithms for sound spatial placement from the TV's speakers. When the QN990F is released, it will be available in four sizes ranging from 65 to 98 inches. 98-inch QN990F: $39,999 85-inch QN990F: $8,499 75-inch QN990F: $6,499 65-inch QN990F: $5,499 Available right now is the QN900F, which will also upscale content to 8K with Samsung's 8K AI Upscaling and includes Glare-Free tech and a metal frame.

For the past few years, Samsung has sat on the throne of Dolby Atmos soundbars, with the HW-Q990D being the best soundbar with subwoofer available (although there have been some recent firmware issues with that model). The Q990D includes two surround speakers and offers 11.1.4-channel Atmos performance, while the Q800F eschews the surrounds for a 5.1.2 configuration. HW-Q990F: $1,799 HW-Q800F: $999
