People have many devices at home. TVs, sound systems, and streaming boxes are common. Often these devices come from different companies. Each device usually has its own remote. This means people juggle many remotes. It is inconvenient. Finding the right remote can be hard. It is also messy.
Samsung plans to fix this problem. The new app will be on phones. It will control Samsung devices easily. More importantly, it aims to control devices from other brands too. This includes TVs from LG or Sony. It could include sound bars from Bose. It might even control streaming devices like Roku.
The app will offer a simple interface. Users see all their devices in one place. They pick the device they want to control. Then they use the app like a remote. No more searching for the right remote. Everything is on the phone screen.
Samsung is working with other companies. They want these companies to support the app. The goal is broad compatibility. Samsung wants its app to work everywhere. This is a big challenge. Many companies have their own systems. Getting everyone to agree is tough. Samsung is hopeful. They see strong consumer demand for simplicity.
