Samsung to add 2016 smart TV features to its Evolution Kit via OTA update

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

You don't necessarily need to own a new Samsung TV to get access to the company's Tizen-based smart TV platform, last year Samsung released a UHD Evolution Kit which adds smart TV features to older TV sets. The kit brought the user experience in line with more recent models, just last week it unveiled some new software features that are included in its 2016 models, and the company has confirmed that those features will be making their way to older TVs as well through an OTA update for the Evolution Kit.

Samsung is not going to release a new iteration of the Evolution Kit, said Michael Zoeller, Vice President and Head of Visual Display at Samsung Electronics Europe, instead, it's going to send out a software update for last year's Evolution Kit to add the latest features that it has introduced for its Tizen-based smart TV platform. Zoeller didn't say precisely which features will be included in the OTA update but does mention that an official announcement regarding this will be made soon.
