This year 8k is again in conversations for Samsung. The new Samsung’s 8k flagship is QN50TS QLED, which doesn’t have any bezel virtually. The gadget has an excellent AI and bombastic audio boosting speakers at every side. Besides that, a rotating TV panel is also introduced by Samsung that is perfect for Generation Z who love watching videos on their phones constantly.
