Samsung is expanding its News platform by integrating short-form video content, reflecting the growing popularity of this format on social media. Initially launched in the USA in 2023 as a successor to Samsung Free, and later introduced in the UK, Samsung News provides Galaxy users with a curated feed accessible directly from their home screen. This platform aggregates stories from various sources, presenting them in a user-friendly, scrollable interface. With the latest update, users in the US and UK can now access short-form videos, which include not only news but also entertainment, lifestyle, and trending topics. This move indicates Samsung’s intention to attract a broader, more casual audience. While further updates are anticipated for 2026 and beyond, details remain undisclosed. Currently, the short-form video feature is exclusive to the US and UK, but Samsung News is available in other markets, accessible on both Galaxy phones and tablets through the home screen settings.
