Samsung’s idea is to permanently extract the famous AAA batteries from remote controls by replacing them with self-charging batteries. The brand considers that with this process, it could avoid the scrapping of 99 million batteries in seven years. In addition to solar charging, the remote control incorporates an energy recovery system based on radio frequencies surrounding areas. The remote control thus captures the Wi-Fi waves from the home box and any routers to maintain the battery charge.

In addition to this system, the brand has also devised other methods to supply the battery of the remote control by energy, as for example, the use ofkinetic energy when shaken or handled. Samsung has also worked on a model capable of generating energy from vibrations issued by sound waves surrounding areas.
In addition to being rechargeable from a light outdoor and indoor and this RF system, the new Eco Remote can also be operated from a socket USB-C, like any other accessory. It will be available in white this year for its ranges of televisions The Frame, Serif et Sero.
