Quickly get to your content

With the widespread use of Smart TVs, you can now enjoy a wide range of video content from general broadcasting, to movies, dramas, music, games, sports and even streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube.

The high consumption of various content on TVs means that a remote control that helps you find content quickly and easily has become more important.

There are a few things that make up the optimal remote control.

It should not be complicated by unnecessary buttons and should provide a concise design with intuitive navigation.

It should provide voice recognition to quickly search for titles instead of having to type them out, and should have hot keys for frequently used apps so you can access them with a single press of a button.

All this makes for a remote optimized for convenient use and quick searching.

Now it's just one remote

You may have had the experience of switching from remote to remote when using various devices connected to your TV. One of the ways to solve this inconvenience is buying a universal remote.

However, then you have the hassle of setting it up which requires connecting it not just to the TV, but to each other device you want to add as well.

So wouldn't it be convenient if you could control multiple devices with just a single remote without the need for complex and unnecessary connections?

Well, with Samsung One Remote Control, you can.

It's able to control all external devices that are connected by Auto Detection without any additional setup.

Now you can put an end to trying to find the right remote every time by just using a single TV remote to quickly access all your connected external devices and content.

Your smartphone, the other remote

The latest Smart TVs offer the convenience of operating them through remote control apps that you can install on your mobile.

So now when you're lying on the couch with your phone in hand, you don't have to get up to find the remote to turn on the TV, because with a TV remote app you can just press the Power On button to do it.

And once it's on you can then easily change channels, adjust the volume and more all from within the same app on your phone.

* To use remote apps, a specific app must be installed on the mobile.

* Both TV and mobile must be on the same network.

* For Samsung TVs, install the "SmartThings" app. It supports a variety of functions including photo sharing, View TV on Phone and Mirror Screen (Smart View).
