The remote control is almost identical to the Samsung The Frame 2020‘s, except that it has a dedicated button to rotate the screen. There’s a motor built into the stand to turn the screen, so there’s no need to do it manually. There’s a microphone in the remote for voice control through Bixby. You can use it to change the TV’s settings, ask for information such as the weather or time, and search for content. That said, content search only works in certain apps. We were able to perform a search on YouTube, but not Netflix.
There are many ways to mirror your smartphone’s content. You can do it with Samsung’s SmartThings app, use the ‘Cast’ function built into most Android phones, or use AirPlay on iOS devices. The Smart View function on Samsung phones works as well. Mirroring works for apps, games, and media. The TV follows your phone’s orientation, so if you change your phone’s orientation, the TV will turn too.
Just like Samsung’s The Frame 2020, there’s an ambient mode that showcases pieces of art when the TV isn’t in use.
