How to read a Samsung model number
Hover over or tap each part of the code.
Year letter (all markets)
J2015 (Tizen 2.3)K2016 (Tizen 2.4)M2017 (Tizen 3.0)N2018 (Tizen 4.0)R2019 (Tizen 5.0)T2020 (Tizen 5.5)A2021 (Tizen 6.0)B2022 (Tizen 6.5)C2023 (Tizen 7.0)D2024 (Tizen 8.0)F2025 (Tizen 9.0)H2026 (Tizen 10.0)
Samsung skips some letters. 2017 and 2018 QLED codes put the year in a different place (Q7F, Q9FN): there, F and FN are part of the series name, not 2025. Older 2012–2014 sets used E, F and H right after the screen size (UN46H6203); those run Samsung's Legacy Platform.
US QLED, Neo QLED, OLED and The Frame (2019 and later)
QNUS prefix for QLED, Neo QLED, OLED and The Frame65Screen size in inchesQN90Series. QN is Neo QLED, Q is QLED (Q80), S is OLED (S90), LS03 is The FrameDYear letter: D is 2024
The full US code adds a factory suffix such as AFXZA (QN65QN90DAFXZA). The suffix can be ignored when checking compatibility. The Frame used the UN prefix in 2017 and 2018 (UN55LS003, UN55LS03N).
US Crystal UHD and UHD (2016–2024)
UNUS prefix for LED TVs (UHD and Crystal UHD)55Screen size in inchesCYear letter: C is 2023 (K 2016, M 2017, N 2018, R 2019, T 2020, A 2021, B 2022, D 2024)UUHD (4K). 2016 premium sets use S (KS8000) for SUHD8000Series
From 2025, Samsung's series names put the year letter at the end, as on QLED codes (U8000F is the 2025 version of the 8000 series).
UK QLED, Neo QLED, OLED and The Frame
QEEuropean prefix for QLED, Neo QLED, OLED and The Frame65Screen size in inchesQ80CSeries and year letter (C is 2023)ATVariant letters. These change by series and year (for example QE55Q7FAMTXXU in 2017, QE55LS03TAUXXU for a 2020 Frame)XXUUK stock. Other European countries use different endings
Type the full code from the label when you check a UK TV. The part before the variant letters is usually the same as in the rest of Europe.

2016 UK codes follow the same idea with a different suffix, for example UE55KS7000UXXU.
Troubleshooting
Most problems come from the network or one TV setting. Start at the top.
The TV never shows the Allow prompt
- Check that your iPhone and the TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network.
- Open Device Connect Manager and make sure Access Notification is not turned off. 2021: Settings > General > External Device Manager. 2022–2024: Settings > All Settings > Connection > External Device Manager. 2025 and later: Settings > All Settings > Connections.
- If your iPhone is in the Device List as Denied, set it to Allow or delete it, then connect again.
The app can't turn the TV on
- Turn on Power On with Mobile in the network Expert Settings (see the setup steps for your year).
- Turn the TV off with the remote, not at the wall. A TV that was unplugged can't be woken over the network.
- If it still doesn't wake, turn the TV on with the remote. The rest of the controls will still work once it's on.
The TV never shows the Allow prompt
- Check that your iPhone and the TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network.
- Open Device Connect Manager on the TV and check that Access Notification is not turned off. The path depends on the year: Settings > General > External Device Manager (2021), Settings > All Settings > Connection > External Device Manager (2022–2024), or Settings > All Settings > Connections (2025 and later).
- Look in the Device List. If your iPhone is listed as Denied, change it to Allow or delete it, then connect again.
The app can't turn the TV on
- Turn on Power On with Mobile in the network Expert Settings. 2017–2021: Settings > General > Network > Expert Settings. 2022 and later: Settings > All Settings > Connection (or Connections) > Network > Expert Settings.
- Turn the TV off with the remote, not at the wall. A TV that has been unplugged or switched off at the wall can't be woken over the network.
- Keep the TV on the same network as your iPhone. Some routers stop passing wake-up traffic to devices in standby after a while.
The TV turns itself on
- Samsung's support pages say network devices can turn the TV on when Power On with Mobile is on. If you don't need to wake the TV from your phone, turn Power On with Mobile off.
