Commenting on RNIB’s accreditation of Samsung’s newest TVs, David Clarke, Director of Services at RNIB, said:

“RNIB is delighted to award our Tried and Tested certification to Samsung in recognition of the accessibility features within their TV. RNIB and Samsung have worked together since 2013, and each year the accessibility features on their televisions have been improved and expanded.”

Earlier in the month, Samsung was also recognised by the Spanish NGO, ONCE Foundation, for its commitment to making its smartphones more accessible. The organisation said that the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note10 included features to assist people with vision and hearing impairments, moderate and severe manipulation difficulties, and speech difficulties.
