Types of Samsung Remote Controls
  One remote and universal remote

Samsung TV remote controls are divided into two types: standard or Smart (One Remote).

How Samsung remote controls work – smart and universal

Standard remote control – controls the TV using infrared radiation. It supports all TV controls except voice control. These remotes are less convenient to use. But their advantage is that you can buy any remote and it will work with your TV as long as it is manufactured in 2012-2021.

Also, the standard remote allows you to enter the hidden menu of the TV to control the settings at the operating system level. This option is for service technicians.

One Remote, Smart remote control – This remote control communicates with the TV using infrared and Bluetooth. Bluetooth is used to control the TV with voice commands and to search for information on the Internet. The Smart Remote Control is more user-friendly, it can receive voice commands and then transmit them to the TV. For Series 6,7,8 TVs with regular screens, the Smart remote control comes without a microphone because these TVs do not support voice control.

There are many remotes available as replacements for the original remote control. These remotes are made by third-party companies, these remotes may not support all the functionality of the original remote. If your remote control costs about 20 dollars or less, it most likely does not have Bluetooth and only works in the infrared range. The cost of the original Smart remote control is about $50-60.
