Whenever we look for quality televisions, we find the Samsung catalog that is quite extensive and gives us very interesting options that we usually analyze. Today we are going to focus on the mid-range more specifically in the Samsung AU8002 that we find interesting because of the different features that it includes, which we consider sufficient to meet almost any requirement you have. In addition, it ends up being pleasant because it has a cost that is considered cheaper.

Exterior design of the Samsung AU8002

The first surprise we have in the Samsung AU8002 is found in its aesthetics, which turns out to be quite pleasant, especially when compared to its competition that delivers very simple appearances that we cannot take advantage of. And this is something very important today, since in these times having a good design can assure you some extra sales . Therefore, we can see better work.

To begin with, we must bear in mind that it is the 65-inch version, an important size that seems to be the ideal to have in rooms or rooms both medium and large. If we want to make the most of its dimensions, it is best to acquire the VESA mount to place the television directly on the wall, so we will enjoy a better integration with the environment, achieving more beauty .

As if that were not enough, on the front it has a thin frame that gives us greater elegance that ends up being complemented by its black chassis, providing a presence little seen in this range. The most remarkable thing is knowing that an AirSlim appearance is implemented which consists of a completely slim design that looks great from any angle. Generally speaking we have a very nice appearance.

Connectivity

Now let’s talk about the connectivity that the Samsung 65AU8002 presents , which is good to get a good experience, and this is achieved by the inclusion of the essential connectors that are usually seen in most of these televisions. Here we find three HDMIs that we can use to connect external devices, likewise, we have two USB that offer their double function of playback and recording of content. They will be the basic versions, so, let’s not expect a very high performance. The rest of the physical connections can be checked in the specifications table. In the wireless there will be no problem, since we have the most vital such as its Wi-Fi , Bluetooth and DLNA .

Image quality and general functions of the Samsung 65AU8002

Obviously, being mid-range, the Samsung UE65AU8002KXXH  will not have a spectacular image, and this is something that you should take into account from now on. We consider that the optimization offered will be sufficient to enjoy almost any content. We are going to have a 4K resolution that gives us better details , which are more realistic.

The weak point of this issue ends up being the LED panel that is implemented, and we say this because you can see a slightly low backlight,  especially if we are in very dark  or  bright environments , so, the placement of the TV turns out to be somewhat important, since placing it correctly there will be no loss of quality.

One of the main attractions that we find in this model is that it includes a different design than what we are used to, in fact, with a good placement we will have a quite pleasant view

Obviously there will be improvement technologies that will bring a more effective touch to the final result,  here we highlight the color reproduction capable of reaching 1,000 million to obtain greater purity . With this we can notice that the scenes will be more vivid and intense with a touch of greater naturalness. The contrast is also greatly benefited.

And this is because we have  Contrast Enhancer  that will allow us to enjoy it with greater clarity and depth. In search of giving us much more fluid and precise movements, Motion Xcelerator Turbo has been integrated  . Nor should we forget that this TV is compatible with HDR formats   for greater precision.

Sound

Another detail that is left to us is the audio quality that is achieved with this model, since we will only have  20W  that are transmitted through two integrated speakers. The only interesting thing is that some improvement technologies are offered that seek to give us a more enveloping and clean sound. However,  for demanding content it will not be enough , so it is best to purchase a soundbar to achieve the required levels.

Samsung UE65AU8002 Software / Smart TV Review and More

Like many other models, the Samsung UE65AU8002  has its own operating system that is known as Tizen and today it is considered one of the most complete that exists. Above all, due to the good optimization  and  security they give us , likewise, we are going to notice a very fluid navigation and an intuitive system.

We also find an extensive application catalog that offers the most popular options of the moment such as  Netflix ,  HBO Max ,  YouTube ,  Prime Video ,  Star + ,  Disney +  and  Spotify . Obviously most of these platforms are paid, however, they provide us with a lot of entertainment for the content.

The Samsung 65AU8002 works with Google Assistant ,  Amazon Alexa  and  Bixby,  which are quite good assistants for the amount of functions that we will be able to control using only the voice. Finally, we must emphasize that this system is going to include an interesting number of functions that are especially useful with this system and that are very useful.
