The Samsung F5500 has numerous Smart TV features, including the Smart Hub interface, which has all the content grouped into five thematic panels, the S-Recommendation engine, a Full Web Browser, the AllShare technology, which allows sharing of photos, videos and music from supported mobile devices to the TV. On the other hand, the F5300 omits all of the above, thus the only reminiscent of smart TV functionality is the ability to play video (and also image and audio) files stored on an USB flash drive.

• The F5500 has the active 3D system on-board and includes two pairs of shutter glasses, while its counterpart is devoid of any 3D capabilities.
• In order to deliver better Smart TV experience, the F5500 utilizes dual core processor. The step-down model has only a single core, but since there aren't any Smart TV features on the F5300, there is no need for a faster processor, either.
• The higher-end set comes with the Smart Touch remote, which has integrated microphone, so the voice control of the TV is supported. The F5300 has only a standard remote, which makes any voice commands impossible.
• The Cinema Smooth technique that is used for displaying 24p source content at native frame rate can be found on the F5500 but not on the step-down model, so the former is able to provide more natural cinematic experience with Blu-Ray movies, for example.
• They both utilize panels with single layer glass structure (Clear Image Panel), thus are equally capable of eliminating blurring and dual-images at off-angle viewing.
• The F5500 offers wider array of connectivity options, including 3 HDMI and 2 USB ports. In comparison, the F5300 has only 2 HDMI and 1 USB. The higher-end set also has built-in WI-Fi and an Ethernet port - none of which can be found on its opponent. The lower end set is not compatible with wireless keyboards.
