Magic Remote 2021 differences
LG’s 2021 OLED B1, C1, G1, W1 and NanoCell and QNED TVs will come with new remotes. The Magic 2021 remote will have a slightly different shape. In the last few years, this is the first redesign of the remote.
As you can see in the picture, the purpose of the remote bottom buttons has changed, adding buttons for quick access to streaming services. If previously there was access to Amazon Prime and Netflix, the new remote control also provides quick access to Rokuten, LG Channels and Disney+.
