Now, Samsung has a 'vertical TV' for content-loving millennials
If we keep Galaxy Fold apart, Samsung has done incredibly well in the display department, be it for phones or TVs. The company showcased modular TVs a few months back and now, it's boosting the TV efforts with Sero - a vertical TV. It has been designed as a product to serve the millennials with Stories and other smartphone content. Here are the details.
Samsung Sero: How it works
Unveiled in Korea, Samsung Sero is a 43-inch Quantum-dot QLED television with 4.1 channel, 60W speakers and Bixby support. At first, it looks like a regular sleek TV that offers high-quality content (probably at 4k UltraHD resolution) and other fancy features that Samsung delivers. But then you see that horizontal panel of the TV can turn sideways to take the vertical form.
Goal to serve the millennials
With Sero and its vertical orientation, Samsung hopes to serve the generation of content-loving millennials. The company hopes that people would be able to use the vertical mode to sync up their phones and mirror Instagram, Snap stories, smartphone videos, and other vertical content. Plus, they might even use the vertical mode for browsing shopping websites or as a huge digital photo frame.
Samsung Sero looks a lot like Surface Hub 2
For those unaware, Samsung Sero's orientation shifting capabilities are very similar to those offered by Microsoft Surface Hub 2. However, it's worth noting that Hub has a touch screen and is aimed at businesses rather than consumers.
Sero will start hitting the shelves next month
The Sero TV will start hitting the shelves by the end of next month in Korea. It has been priced at 1.9 million won, which translates into Rs. 1.11 lakh in India. To note, as of now, there's no word on when the vertical TV will go on sale in the US or in other parts of the world.
Samsung also launched Unbox Magic Smart TVs this month
The announcement of vertical TV comes just a few days after the launch of Samsung's Unbox Magic Smart TVs. The TVs, which come in a range of screen sizes, double up as a personal computer by allowing you to cast your laptop wirelessly and edit its documents, remotely. Plus, they offer a range of fancy features, including Home Cloud and Two Way Sharing.
