If we assume that you change the batteries in the remote control twice a year. For the sake of interest, let’s think about how that figure came about. According to Samsung, this innovation will save about 99 million batteries per year. When light hits the cells (room or natural light), these cells produce electrical energy. The main difference, compared to previous smart remotes is sollar cells used to recharge the smart remote. ![]() ![]() That’s the next generation magic remote, that offers almost the same features, but also has solar cells, installed into the remote. The Samsung 2021 Smart remote has a commercial name SolarCell Remote, which is a commercial name registered by Samsung so we can assume that it will be used for Samsung remotes for the next few years. Remotes nowadays are far away from just a simple accessory to control you TV, now that’s more important thing that determines how comfortable you will be with your TV. Now, Samsung’s upcoming QD-OLED TVs? That’s worth crowing about.įirst non-Samsung Tizen OS TVs are here, but not in the U.S.Samsung SollarCell remote What is Samsung 2021 SolarCell remote?

On the other hand, if you’re constantly worried about whether you’re going to have to charge the remote because it’s using this newfangled technology from the sun combined with the same thing that powers those potentially problematic 5G networks and whether your copper 5G chest protector might get in the way - well, we can’t help you there. If you never have to worry about charging the remote, that’s certainly a good thing. We’ll have to wait until we’ve got Samsung’s new Eco Remote on hand for some long-term testing before we know whether this solar power/RF Harvesting thing is worth its weight in press releases and blogger headlines. In other words, have we devolved so much as a society that we cannot handle charging a remote control for a half-hour a couple times a year? Or swapping out a couple batteries? It’s just not that hard to do. My favorite remote, which is end-of-life at this point, is years old but only on its second battery. Apple TV finally has a remote control that doesn’t make me want to use something (anything!) else, and every now and then it tells me to plug it in to charge, which is simple enough to do.

What Samsung really means is that this isn’t a remote you’ll have to worry about charging. Never mind the fact that there certainly is some sort of energy storage device inside - Samsung says as much. Samsung bills the Eco Remote as a way for customers to “take a literal hands-on approach to reducing their eco footprint.” That’s due in part to it using recycled materials, but also because it uses solar power and what’s known as “RF Harvesting” to give what it calls “a battery-free experience.” SamsungĮnter Samsung’s new Eco Remote, announced this week at CES. ![]() (Batteries, after all, are organic devices and will, eventually, die.) And that means the company that produces the product can do so at a slightly lower cost. The device in question is going to work better and longer. You’re going to be happier with the experience. The less you have to worry about charging it, the better off everyone is going to be. When it comes to electronics - anything with a battery, really - there is but a single thing we need to remember.
