Samsung Introduces New Smart TV User Experience

Last week Samsung announced that they will be introducing an upgraded game service to its smart TV lineup. Turns out that’s not all Samsung has planned because, in a new announcement, Samsung has also revealed that they will be bringing a new user experience to their smart TVs as well.

This will include a new Smart Hub which will sport a new user interface. According to Samsung, the new UI will allow users to switch seamlessly between broadcast content, OTT content, as well as content from other connected devices like Blu-ray players, consoles, and etc. There will also be a new Smart Control Remote that will be able to control the user’s entire home entertainment system.

In a way it could be thought of as a universal remote, thus saving you the need from having to operate multiple remote controls to control different gadgets. Samsung claims that the Smart Remote will be able to recognize devices connected to the TV, such as set-top-boxes, OTT boxes, Blu-ray players, consoles, and so on.

According to Won Jin Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, “In 2016, Samsung’s Smart Hub and Smart Control remote are providing the most streamlined, convenient and intuitive TV user experience. Together, they offer the choices and performance consumers expect from today’s home entertainment technology.”
