The Samsung UN65RU7300 (2019) and UN65NU7300 (2018) differ primarily in their software platform and functionality. The 2019 RU7300 runs on the updated Tizen 5.0 operating system, which offers a broader range of features and improved support for modern services. In contrast, the 2018 NU7300 uses Tizen 4.0, which does not support Google Assistant or Alexa. The newer system enables voice control, allowing users to interact with the TV more conveniently using voice commands.
Another significant improvement in the 2019 model is the inclusion of Bluetooth. This allows connection to wireless headphones and the use of the smart remote for easier navigation. The 2018 NU7300 lacks Bluetooth support, meaning users must rely on wired audio devices and the standard remote.
In terms of core specifications, both models are nearly identical. They share a 64.5-inch curved VA panel, a resolution of 3840 × 2160, and Edge-lit LED backlighting with UHD Dimming. The audio system is the same, with 2.0-channel speakers delivering 20W output, and both models support features such as Multiroom Link and Game Mode. Connectivity options are also identical, including three HDMI ports, two USB ports, Ethernet, RF In for cable and satellite, and an optical audio output.
The design of the two TVs is virtually unchanged. Both have the same dimensions with and without the stand, a weight of 56 lbs, slim bezels, and a simple dark gray stand. Common features such as Eco Sensor, Mobile to TV Mirroring, and DLNA are available on both models, so the overall user experience is largely similar.
In summary, the main advantages of the 2019 RU7300 are the updated operating system with voice assistant support and the addition of Bluetooth. These enhancements make the TV more flexible and convenient for use with modern devices and services, while the 2018 NU7300 remains a more basic model without these capabilities.
