Solar Voice Remote Control for Samsung Smart TV - Rechargeable USB-C

In this review of the BN59-01385A solar voice remote alternative, the bottom line is simple: it is for Samsung owners who want a greener, usable replacement for a voice-capable TV remote. The reviewer found the biggest reason to buy is the combination of a built-in solar panel plus USB-C charging that removes disposable batteries while preserving full voice and Bluetooth control for recent Samsung 4K and 8K models. It performs like an original voice remote for compatible TVs and is best when installed as a direct, eco-friendly replacement.

Key Features

• Solar and USB-C charging: A built-in solar panel keeps the remote topped up in natural light while a USB-C port provides fast manual charging when needed.
• Voice control: Integrated voice recognition lets users search and navigate apps and menus hands-free on Samsung TVs that support voice functionality.
• Bluetooth connectivity: Bluetooth pairing offers reliable communications and responsive input from up to about 45 ft for typical living room layouts.
• Four shortcut keys: Dedicated Netflix, Prime Video, Samsung TV Plus and Disney+ buttons provide one-touch access to popular streaming services.
• Durable construction: ABS materials and rated button longevity mean the remote is built to withstand years of regular clicking.
• Broad model compatibility: Works as a replacement for many Samsung remote part numbers for 2019-2024 smart TVs that support voice control.

Who It's For

This remote is ideal for Samsung TV owners who already use voice features and want to ditch disposable batteries in favor of a rechargeable remote with both solar and USB-C options. It suits households that stream regularly and value the convenience of quick-access buttons for major services.

It is not for owners of older Samsung sets that do not support voice control, since the voice features will not work on those TVs. Buyers who require IR-only legacy remotes or models outside the listed 2019-2024 voice-capable sets should look for a different replacement.
