Every year, Samsung unveils something new as regards soundbars , speakers, and TVs. Ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 expo, the company has revealed new soundbar and speaker lineups for 2026. It includes a flagship 11.1.4-channel soundbar with Dolby Atmos and a new all-in-one soundbar (HW-QS90H) without a separate subwoofer.
The coming soundbar for 2026 is the HW-Q990H and it’s the company’s most absorbing and powerful soundbar so far. Its 11.1.4-channel audio system comes with a 7.0.2-channel soundbar, two 2.0.1 satellite rear speakers, and a compact wireless subwoofer with two 8-inch drivers. The subwoofer features powerful bass despite its compact and space-efficient design. The combination of up-firing speakers and Samsung’s AI algorithms expands the sound field to offer audio that’s the same as professional home theatre setups.
More so, the company is bringing a new model to its soundbar lineup — HW-Q990H. This ‘ All-In-One Soundbar ‘ model has a 7.1.2-channel soundbar with nine wide-range speakers and a built-in ‘Quad-Bass Woofer’ system. It has no separate subwoofer and the soundbar still delivers deep bass.
It comes with a Convertible Fit design with a built-in gyro sensor. This enables the soundbar to be mounted on the wall or placed on the tabletop and it automatically tunes its channel distribution.
According to the South Korean firm, its new soundbar and speaker lineup is built to be more adaptive to a wide range of spaces in a home. The new version of Q-Symphony now supports connecting up to five sound devices to a Samsung TV. Then the system automatically analyses the room layout and device placement to enhance channel distribution in a way that makes the surrounding sound and dialogue clearer.
With The SmartThings app, you can control sound settings, group audio playback, and access music streaming services like Spotify. You can also access music controls and voice assistant settings through the same app.
The coming Samsung’s 2026 soundbars actually features more balanced and smoother audio. Though the launch timeframe and prices of the new speakers aren’t known, more details regarding that will unfold during CES 2026, taking place from January 6-9 in Las Vegas, USA.

It’s only the television that can’t access Google Photos, but other major platforms can. This is because it doesn’t offer a native Google Photos app for Google TV and this makes viewing your photos and videos on the big screen very frustrating. The good news is that Samsung will soon address the issue by integrating Google Photos directly into its TizenOS-powered TVs.
Samsung announced a partnership with Google to integrate Google Photos into its TVs. According to the report, it seems you will not be able to browse through your entire Photos library. Instead, Samsung TVs will show curated memories organised by people, places, and moments. The Memories will be unveiled in March next year and will remain strictly for Samsung TVs for the first six months.
Nano Banana will arrive on Google Photos for Samsung TVs via the “Create with AI” feature, later in 2026. This will enable you to generate themed templates, with the Remix tool helping you transform the style of your photos or videos on the big screen. Samsung notes that select AI templates will be exclusive to its TVs.
In the middle of next year, Samsung and Google plan to unveil personalised results to Google Photos on Samsung TVs. This enables viewing related photos as a slideshow based on topics or contents of memories, such as: ocean, hiking, Paris, etc. Google Photos integration into Samsung TVs is a step in the right direction, as it brings one of Google’s most-used services to the biggest screen, which enables a better experience.
At last, Google Photos is coming to the screen, and the integration will debut on Samsung TVs that launch next year. It will also roll out to select existing TVs through a software update later in the year. It’s expected that Google will unveil a similar Google Photos integration for Google TV and other TV platforms within the next year.
