In recent years, Samsung has actively been working on making its TV remotes more and more eco friendly. Now, the company has unveiled its latest Eco Remotes that can draw power from radio waves.

During CES 2022, the South Korean tech giant unveiled the 2022 Eco Remotes. Last year, the brand had featured a large solar panel on these remotes, and now, we have a new way of charging these remotes. The TV controllers can apparently harvest radio frequencies, which sounds quite futuristic. Notably, these remote will still feature solar panels but it will also be powered by radio waves as well. Although, the amount would be small.

The radio frequencies that will help charge the remote include radio waves like your WiFi router. According to Samsung, drawing power from radio frequencies will allow the remote to charge fully while you’re watching TV. In other words, it can passively harvest RF to power up regardless of whether it is day or night. This also hints that it can possibly run for a longer time than previous iterations.

The company further added that will be made with a “recycled material design,” similar to its predecessors. This latest model will also be available in a new white color variant and retains its minimalist design. It even houses a microphone for voice controls along with shortcuts for Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Price Video, and Samsung’s TV Plus as well. This new remote will ship with all of its 2022 TV lineups.
