    Tizen – the browser is much faster + , the likelihood of catching the virus below + , IPTV complex setup -, Free little normal cinemas -, ANDROID – IPTV installation a snap +, many free cinema (zone, On video Boxing, On film…) + , browser (no matter which set, chromium, Yandex, etc) slows down terribly -, for god 2 times did reset because it has picked up some infection (but then of course he is guilty) –

    Just the worst axis, constantly some jokes happen. Unforgivably few applications. In Russia, a bunch of shit from partners is preinstalled, which you don't use, you cannot delete them, space takes more than half a gig of available memory(medieval segment). And a cherry on the cake – does not support avi format and will not support (according to the Koreans themselves). Don't mess with Samsung TVs, overpriced buggy g.
