This guide will walk you through the steps to use JioCinema on Samsung Smart TV, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy all its excellent content without a subscription!
What Does JioCinema on Samsung Smart TV Offer?
JioCinema on Samsung Smart TV offers a diverse range of entertainment offerings, including movies, TV shows, original web series, live sports, and match highlights.
With JioCinema, you can access over 1,00,000 hours of exciting content in many languages, such as Hindi, English, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati, Bhojpuri, Malayalam, and Punjabi, with the best of the latest and classic Bollywood and Kollywood hits.
In September 2022, JioCinema’s merger with Viacom18 allowed the latter to migrate all its sporting content from Voot to Jio’s ad-supported OTT platform, making it one of the best sports streaming destinations alongside Disney+ Hotstar.
JioCinema features an all-new sports tab where you can live-stream top sports content at no cost. It includes the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions and Europa League, English Premier League, Serie A, and other international/national soccer events – plus Indian Premier League (IPL), IPL Auction, and many more sports events across the globe.
One great thing about JioCinema is that you can stream select on-demand movies and shows and live sports content in up to 4K Ultra HD on compatible Samsung Smart TVs. Furthermore, you don’t need a Jio SIM to access all that goodness, as JioCinema is available for both Jio and non-Jio customers.
