The company also notes that deployment schedules and specific features may vary depending on device and country.

Khi tiếng Việt đã có mặt trên điện thoại, nhiều người dùng bắt đầu đặt câu hỏi liệu chiếc TV Samsung trong phòng khách có được nâng cấp theo hay không. Samsung has not made any official announcement about this. But some available data shows that possibility is not out of the company's roadmap.

How well does Samsung TV understand Vietnamese?

Samsung TV models in Vietnam currently support Vietnamese through Bixby Lite, a shortened version of this assistant. Users can use their voice to change channels, play multimedia content or search for videos on YouTube. But beyond that basic set of commands, most operations still have to go through the controller and menu levels.

What does the full version of Bixby on TV do?

Samsung defines Bixby as a device assistant, allowing users to control the device using natural speech without having to remember the name of the setting or its location in the menu. On 2025 TV models including Neo QLED, OLED, QLED and The Frame, the company has upgraded Bixby to an assistant with conversation capabilities from August 2025 in the US. This update later expanded to France, Germany, Italy and Spain, while Korean users had already experienced it.

With the full version, viewers can ask about the actor or the program that is playing without having to stop the content on the screen. The TV also becomes a control point for SmartThings devices, such as turning off the oven or adjusting the air conditioner temperature with just a word.

Nearly a decade for Bixby to speak Vietnamese

Bixby was born in 2017, but it took nearly 10 years for this assistant to have Vietnamese in the official language list. That distance passes through the milestones below, and the final milestone is still open.

Bixby Vietnamese on TV

Samsung has not announced a schedule for TVs or home appliances. A milestone worth tracking is the Tizen operating system updates that the company deploys for TVs every year.

Why TV could be the next step

Bixby is the general name for the voice assistant that Samsung puts on its phones, TVs and home appliances. Once the Vietnamese recognition has been perfected for the Galaxy, bringing it to the big screen could theoretically be less work than building it from scratch. But TV still has its own problems, because users often speak from a distance in a room with speakers and many voices overlapping each other.

Up to this point, Samsung has only confirmed Bixby Vietnamese for Galaxy mobile devices and has not given a schedule for TVs or home appliances. The next milestone worth tracking is the Tizen operating system updates that the company deploys for TVs under the annual software upgrade program. If Vietnamese Bixby appears on TV, newer models such as Neo QLED and OLED may be the first to be updated.
