Samsung TV Solar Voice Replacement Remote BN59-01391A - Rechargeable

In this review of the Samsung TV Solar Voice Replacement Remote BN59-01391A, the reviewer finds it is best for owners of compatible Samsung Frame and QLED TVs who want an eco-friendly, rechargeable remote with built-in voice search. The single biggest reason to consider this replacement is the unique USB Type-C solar charging design that removes disposable batteries while retaining full voice control functionality; pairing is straightforward and the remote behaves like the original for everyday use.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: Works across many Samsung 6, 7 and 8 series and QLED models so a single replacement fits a broad set of TVs.
• Model match: Directly compatible with original remote models such as BN59-01391A and several BN59 variants for seamless button mapping.
• USB Type-C recharging: Built-in rechargeable battery and USB Type-C input remove the need for disposable batteries and simplify charging.
• Solar-assisted charge: The design supports solar charging to extend time between USB charges and reduce maintenance.

Who It's For

This replacement remote is a practical choice for owners of Samsung Frame TV and QLED models who need a low-cost, fully compatible remote that restores original functions including voice control. It suits households that prefer rechargeable solutions and want to avoid frequent battery replacements.

It is not ideal for users who require non-rechargeable disposables, those who need infrared-only remotes, or anyone using an unsupported legacy Samsung model that is not listed among the compatible series. Also, buyers who lack a USB Type-C charger at home should be aware the remote requires USB Type-C for charging.
