Product description
What this remote is for
If your Samsung TV remote feels like it’s always one battery away from becoming useless, this rechargeable solar replacement-style remote is aimed at solving that day-to-day hassle. It’s built to work with Samsung Smart TVs that support voice control and Bluetooth, and it’s designed around convenience: solar charging plus USB-C fast charging, so you’re less likely to be stuck hunting for spares.
It also leans into modern TV control—voice search and dedicated streaming shortcuts—so you can jump straight to services rather than hunting through menus every time.
Key takeaways (the practical bits)
On paper, this UNOCAR remote covers a lot of ground for Samsung Tizen OS TVs from 2018 to 2025, including The Frame and other lines mentioned in the compatibility notes (Neo QLED, OLED, Terrace, Serif, Crystal UHD, Sero, and Monitor Series). If you’re trying to replace a Samsung remote such as BN59-01385A (and related variants listed), it’s the kind of “swap it in and go” option people look for when they don’t want a complicated setup process.
Still, it’s not perfect for everyone. The remote is only stated to work for Samsung TVs/remote setups that have voice functionality. If your Samsung TV doesn’t include voice features, you may find it simply doesn’t behave as expected.
Where it shines in everyday use
Voice control and quick-access buttons can make a noticeable difference, especially if you regularly search for shows or bounce between streaming apps.
A typical moment: you’re half-way through an evening and can’t remember what you were watching. Instead of scrolling—press the voice function and search for something like “find Marvel movies on Disney+” (as suggested in the product notes). Then use the dedicated one-touch buttons for Netflix, Prime Video, and Samsung TV Plus to get moving quickly.
The dedicated Disney+ shortcut comes with a sensible caveat: availability depends on the TV’s original remote compatibility, and it may not work on older models.
Compatibility and requirements (worth checking first)
Compatibility is the biggest decision point with this one. The listing states it’s compatible with Samsung Tizen OS smart TVs (models 2018–2025) and mentions it as compatible with Samsung Remote Control for Samsung Smart TV for the BN59-01385A family.
It also states that it supports Samsung TVs with voice functionality. If your TV doesn’t have voice features, the remote may not work.
If you’re currently unsure whether your TV has voice control, it’s worth double-checking before buying—this is the sort of mismatch that can waste time even when the remote otherwise fits the model family.
Technical details that matter for buying
From the information provided, the features that stand out are the charging approach and control style:
- Type: Rechargeable solar remote for Samsung Frame and other Samsung Smart TVs
- Charging: Solarcell plus USB-C fast charging
- Control modes: Voice control and Bluetooth (BT)
- Pairing method: hold Return + Play/Pause until the TV shows “Pairing completed”
- Included: preloaded remote and detailed instructions for immediate operation
The pairing steps are relatively straightforward, which is a plus if you want to minimise tinkering.
What you’ll notice about setup and reliability
A big practical advantage here is the pairing guidance: press and hold the “Return + Play/Pause” buttons until the TV confirms pairing. For many people, that’s the difference between “new remote installed in minutes” and “spend your evening troubleshooting.”
It’s also described as made with reinforced materials for long-term reliability. That doesn’t guarantee longevity for every household use pattern, but it’s the right direction for a frequently handled item.
Pros and limitations to weigh up
What to like - Solarcell charging alongside USB-C fast charging - Voice and BT support (so it’s not just basic IR-style control) - Dedicated streaming shortcuts for faster access - Pairing instructions included and designed to be quick - Compatibility notes include a long list of BN59 variants
What could be disappointing - If your Samsung TV doesn’t support voice, the remote may not work - Disney+ shortcut availability can depend on TV/remote compatibility, especially on older models
In the box
The listing states the remote arrives preloaded with detailed instructions for immediate operation. Beyond that, no extra accessories are listed in the provided details, so it’s best to expect “remote + guidance” rather than a full kit.
Buying verdict
It makes sense if you want a rechargeable Samsung-compatible remote for a 2018–2025 Samsung Tizen OS smart TV, and you specifically need voice and Bluetooth functionality (with solar/USB-C charging to reduce battery worries).
You may want to skip it if your Samsung TV doesn’t have voice features, because that’s explicitly called out as a potential reason for it not working.
It’s also a smarter pick if your priority is daily convenience—voice search and one-touch streaming access—rather than just replacing a dead remote for basic navigation.

Does it need batteries?
