Samsung Unveils Ingenious Solution To Losing Your TV Remote
In a surprise move, Samsung has unveiled a revolutionary solution to the age-old problem of losing your TV remote. The tech giant’s recent Galaxy Unpacked event at CES 2025 showcased not only their latest innovations in display technology and smartwatch advancements but also a clever way to control your TV without having to physically retrieve the remote.
According to sources, Samsung has developed a mode called Quick Remote that allows users to turn their compatible smartphone into a makeshift remote. This feature will automatically spot the presence of a Samsung TV nearby and seamlessly transition into remote control mode, giving you an easy and convenient way to change channels or adjust settings without having to search for your actual remote.
But it gets even better – if you have a compatible Galaxy Watch, the experience becomes truly immersive. The watch’s accelerometer can detect subtle hand movements, allowing users to navigate through menus and select items on-screen with ease. This innovative technology enables users to control their TV using only gestures, eliminating the need for a physical remote altogether.
Here’s how it works: simply pinch your forefinger and thumb together to select an item, go back by making a fist with your hand, or return to the home screen by making a double fist. The watch can sense these movements in real-time, enabling seamless control over the TV.
While this feature isn’t available just yet – it will initially be supported on the 2025 series of TVs and Galaxy Watch 4 models onwards – Samsung is expected to roll out the update for earlier TVs at some point in the future.
It’s worth noting that Samsung has been the global leader in TV sales for an impressive 18 years, consistently pushing the boundaries with innovative features. This announcement further solidifies their position as a pioneer in the industry.
For those who are not excited about this new feature or would rather rely on more traditional methods of controlling their TV, they can always resort to using the actual remote – we won’t judge!
