How Samsung TV Plus is built for TV

Samsung TV Plus is baked into Tizen and Galaxy devices as a first-party experience. It is the opposite strategy to Netflix: rather than reaching every platform, it uses the platform itself as the moat.

Being built into the OS means deep integration with the launcher and remote, and no need to pass another vendor's certification.

Building something like Samsung TV Plus?

  • First-party, OS-integrated apps trade reach for deep platform integration.
  • If you own the platform, the home-screen and remote integration is your advantage.
  • Web-based OS apps still need the same 10-foot-UI and remote-nav discipline.
