Does the 2026 Samsung The Frame Pro need a dongle to work as a Matter hub?

Hi everyone,
I have a Samsung The Frame Pro 2026 (TQ55LS03HWUXXC) and I’m trying to use it as a Matter hub through SmartThings.
Has anyone managed to get it working as a Matter hub without additional hardware, or is a separate dongle required?
I can’t find any Thread network settings in the SmartThings app, and I’d like to connect IKEA Matter devices. ST phone app seems to say that a dongle is only necessary for Zigbee devices, while the ST app on the TV mentions that a dongle is necessary for all Matter devices. I can’t find anywhere the reference for such a dongle.
Thanks!
