Samsung is set to release its new remote control called the Smart Control. Although the Smart Control is to be used in conjunction with smart televisions, the technology isn’t the only thing smart about it. The smart control is designed 80% smaller than the standard regular controller, but it is also curved in a pebble-like style. The unique design is intended to help you grip the controller easily and to find it quickly when it’s lodged between your couch cushions.
Being a smart controller, it is also equipped with 26 buttons and is voice and motion controlled. So although it’s shrunken up a bit, it still packs a pretty big punch. One function in particular is the Soccer Mode button, which adapts to your screen for an optimal viewing experience.
