Samsung TV Smart Remote (One Remote) Compatibility List 2012-2024

Samsung TV remotes come in two types: universal remotes and smart remotes (One Remote).

The universal remote has many buttons and is suitable for any Samsung model from 2012, controlling the TV via infrared (IR) signals.

The Smart Remote (One Remote) has a minimalistic design and is divided into two types. The first type is a remote that looks like a smart remote, but does not have a microphone button. It works via infrared signals and is compatible with Samsung models from 2012. The second type is a remote with a Bluetooth module, sometimes also with a microphone button. These remotes control the TV via Bluetooth, and some models additionally support infrared signals. If the Bluetooth connection is lost or the module fails, this remote will only be able to turn the TV on or off.

Samsung TV Remote Control Model Numbers

There are two types of model numbers. The first is a commercial name, such as TM2360E, where:

• TM stands for the product identifier, which in this case is the remote,
• 23 indicates the year of development,
• 60 indicates the technical modification of the remote control,
• E denotes regional modification (e.g., different button combinations for applications).

The second number is the part number, such as BN59-01455A, under which remotes are sold in Samsung catalogs and stores like Amazon. Even small changes, such as changing the color of the remote or the application shortcut button, result in a new part number.

Samsung TV Remote Compatibility Issues

Until 2023, Samsung updated the Bluetooth protocol for its TV remotes annually. With each new TV model, software restrictions allowed pairing only with specific remote models, meaning TVs would only connect with compatible remotes. This approach resulted in hundreds of remote models, requiring users to carefully check compatibility with their TV model—an inconvenience for those seeking the right remote.

In 2023, Samsung simplified this process by removing these restrictions. Now, all 2024 Bluetooth-enabled Samsung TV models are compatible with 2023 remotes, making remote selection easier and more universal. It’s worth noting, however, that remotes manufactured before 2016 followed a different control concept: many featured touchpads or directional buttons and were compatible only with select models.

Universal remotes for Samsung TVs 2012-2024

The 2012 family of Samsung remotes operates exclusively through infrared signals and features many buttons, each programmed for specific commands to enhance ease of use. Since Samsung’s infrared coding has remained unchanged since 2012, these remotes can control any Samsung TV model and also provide access to the engineering (or “secret”) menu on all TVs.

This family includes around 10 models (TM1240A TM1250A, TM1250C), differing in size and button layout, yet all offering universal functionality across Samsung TVs.

In 2023, a new modification of the Smart remote was released, it is smaller, but also equipped with a solar panel and a USB port for recharging. The functionality of the remote control has not changed, it is noteworthy that no new remote control has been developed for the 2024 models, i.e. the 2023 remote control works with the 2024 models.

Samsung has introduced new SolarCell remotes for its 2021-2022 TVs. These remotes feature a solar panel on the back that charges an internal energy storage system. Instead of traditional batteries, they use two electrolytic capacitors capable of storing energy. This design is reminiscent of Japanese calculators from the 1980s and 1990s, which also relied on solar panels to maintain charge. Equipped with a Bluetooth module, these remotes must be paired with the TV for proper functionality.

Samsung Smart Remote for TVs 2016-2020

In 2016, Samsung outlined its strategy for the coming years, which included abandoning touchpads on the remote control. The remote adopted a more classic shape, becoming ergonomically convenient. The number of buttons was reduced to a minimum, with only the most frequently used ones remaining. A control circle was introduced, and the buttons for changing channels and adjusting volume became three-position: in addition to the usual press, they could also move up and down, like a joystick.

There are many variations of these remotes, with and without a microphone button, then there are remotes with Bluetooth, and then there are just remotes that look like Smart remotes but are standard IR remotes. There are also remotes with various additional buttons to call up subroutines, streaming apps, or a browser.

The TM1560 remote was designed for the 2015 J-series TVs, it was a period of experimentation with remotes, but this remote was not liked by users and was subsequently replaced with a new one.

The Smart Touch Control Model 2014 remote was designed for Samsung’s 2014 (H) series TVs, like the UE65HU8500T. This remote showcased Samsung’s attempt at a unique, unconventional design. However, it seems that users didn’t respond positively to it, leading Samsung to discontinue the model.

Remote control TM1390 for TV series F, 2013

The TM1390 smart remote control, released in 2013, was Samsung’s innovative attempt to introduce a touchpad similar to a laptop’s for its internet-enabled TVs. While many users appreciated the design, some did not, highlighting a broader trend: despite efforts by Samsung and others to experiment with touch panels, most people preferred the familiar tactile buttons on a remote. This model ultimately demonstrated that many users were not ready to change their habits when it came to remote control design.
