More info surfaces on Samsung's 2025 OLED TVs

More information has appeared about Samsung Electronics’ upcoming 2025 OLED TVs, with another database listing emerging that provides greater detail about the new models.

The listing in a South Korean regulatory database was first spotted by Notebookcheck and DisplaySpecifications, and it contains multiple references to the new Samsung OLED TVs, and they show a product code that ends in the letter “F”, rather than the letter “D” that was used in its 2024 models. So it appears Samsung is skipping “E”, but we don’t know why.

Samsung’s 2024 OLED models are all designated with the letter “D”, such as the Samsung S95D, S90D and S85D, and it seems that next year’s versions will all be referred to as “F”, namely the S95F, S90F and S85F.

An earlier listing suggests that the S85F models may use Samsung’s own QD-OLED panels, at least in some sizes, but we would be shocked if that really is the case. This year’s S85D TVs were exclusively fitted with WOLED panels from LG Display, which are much more affordable, in keeping for a mid-range product tier.

The latest listing shows that we can expect to see the S85F come in sizes ranging from 55-, 65-, 77- and 83-inches in the U.S., while in Europe consumers will be restricted to the three smaller sizes only.

The listing also makes it seem likely that Samsung will continue to mix and match panels for its S90F series TVs, just like it did with this year’s S90D televisions. The Samsung S90F OLED TV will be offered in a wide range of sizes, from 48-inches to 83-inches in the U.S. and in Europe. This is the same as last year’s S90D TVs, which could have either a WOLED or a QD-OLED panel, depending on the size of the display.

The Samsung S95F is the company’s flagship OLED TV model for 2025, and like last year’s S95D, it will be available in 55-, 65- and 77-inch sizes. However, unlike last year, there will also be a new 83-inch size, which wasn’t available last year.

This suggests that Samsung Display may be expanding the size of its QD-OLED panels, which previously maxed out at 77-inches, to 83-inches. That’s because the S95D TV was seen as the company’s most premium model, and exclusively used QD-OLED panels – and the likelihood is that Samsung will do the same again with this year’s version.

Besides the model names and sizes, we don’t have any other information about Samsung’s upcoming OLED TVs, but we can expect to learn a lot more at next month’s CES 2025 show in Las Vegas.
