Your Samsung QLED Smart TV comes with voice navigation features that will put you in control! You can use Bixby or Alexa to navigate your TV, ask some questions, give commands, or search for new apps to download. Multiple languages are supported as well, so your TV will always follow your instructions no matter how you choose to speak. You can set up your preferred voice navigation when you get your TV, but you can also add it later if you prefer.

Note: The provided information refers to 2021, 2022, or 2023 Samsung QLED TVs sold in Canada. The available settings and options may differ for devices sold in other countries.

Bixby is available to answer questions and change the channel whenever you like. Once Bixby is set up, you can ask it to turn on the TV, check the weather, or play a movie.
