Samsung Orsay

= Samsung Orsay =
Samsung Orsay – operating system for Samsung TVs, Smart TVs and Blu-Ray players. It was firstly implemented in 2008 with Samsung PAVV Bordeaux 750. At first, it could launch apps of any kind, like music players, online cinema and etc. Also it could launch widgets for weather, stocks and some random facts. Web browser was included.
From the launch of the TV with every update there was a "Welcome" video. Fun fact, most of them weren't praising the quality of image on the TV but were bragging about the amount of apps that was on this platform.
== The 2013 Update ==
The 2013 Update had brought many differences. For example, the widgets were removed and the Smart Hub was changed. The water wallpaper was changed to blank dark-blue colored background with all the apps that were installed on the TV. 
It looked more basic than the other versions. 
This was a period of "Samsung Legacy Platform" that was made for TVs between 2012 and 2014. This was something that was the start of moving to Tizen OS because the first version of this operating system came out in 2012.
== Tizen after Orsay ==
Some people were annoyed that Orsay got discontinued, but Samsung did nothing.
Not really much had been going on with the system since the last update which was released in 2014. Orsay was quickly forgotten and in 2015 Samsung Smart TV's had already been changed to Tizen OS. Tizen OS at the time had every Orsay feature but in 2016 lots of features were removed like Social Media which was removed due to people not using them, and Offline 3D and 2D games which were removed due to Cloud Gaming, plus voice interaction and gesture interaction was removed but later re-added as accessibility features in 2021.
But also apps that were developed for Orsay are working on it fine even after 9 years of being abandoned by the creator of this OS. Apps still work, widgets still update which means that Orsay still works completely fine and almost every app is working. Of course, some apps have stopped working due to the reason that was mentioned above but most of them are working. For example, the YouTube app is working.
