Samsung TVs are finally getting built-in Google Cast — and it’s not limited to brand-new models.
The feature is starting to roll out across both upcoming 2026 sets and select older TVs. This marks a quiet but meaningful shift for Samsung’s smart TV platform.
Google Cast has long been one of the easiest ways to beam videos, music and apps straight from your phone to a TV. However, Samsung has historically skipped native support in favour of its own ecosystem.
Product listings for Samsung’s 2026 TVs confirm that Cast will be included out of the box. Consequently, this brings them more in line with rivals that already treat it as standard.
More interestingly, though, this isn’t just a next-gen perk. Some existing Samsung TV owners are already seeing Google Cast arrive via software updates. One report points to the S90D OLED receiving Cast support through a recent One UI update on Tizen. Further, the feature is mentioned in the startup changelog. Others say they’ve had access for a few months. This suggests the rollout may have been happening quietly in the background.
That wider availability matters. It means users won’t necessarily need to upgrade their TV to get one of the most widely used casting standards. This is something that’s become increasingly expected, especially as Google continues to expand Cast’s capabilities.
Samsung isn’t the only one making moves here, either. LG has already embraced Google Cast across its TV lineup. This helps push it closer to becoming a baseline feature rather than a nice extra.
It’s not clear exactly which older Samsung models will receive the update, or how far back support will go. Newer TVs are also gaining Google Photos integration. However, there’s no confirmation yet on whether that will trickle down to older sets.
Still, for Samsung TV owners, this is a rare case of a genuinely useful feature arriving after the fact. It’s not just with your next upgrade.
