Samsung Frame TV replacement remote with voice control

Voice search and four preset app shortcuts give this replacement remote a quicker route to finding and opening content than a basic button-only remote. It is listed for a broad range of Samsung smart TVs and monitors, but compatibility depends on the exact model and software platform.

Pairing uses a button combination, and the remote requires two AAA batteries, which are not included.

Best use cases

This remote is intended as a replacement for compatible Samsung Frame, Crystal 4K UHD, Neo QLED, OLED, and QLED smart TVs, along with select Samsung smart monitors. It may suit someone who wants voice search for finding a show or app without navigating through menus, then uses one of the four shortcut buttons for faster access. Imagine sitting down, searching by voice, and opening a preset app from the couch, the listing gives a control range of up to 40 feet.

You’ll appreciate it if your original remote is missing or you want voice control and app shortcuts in a replacement. It’s not for you if your Samsung TV runs Orsay OS or you expect the shortcut buttons to work with a built-in web browser: the listing says those shortcuts require a 2016-or-newer Samsung Smart TV running Tizen. The voice and shortcut features should not be assumed to work identically across every compatible device.

Product specs

The listing names Frame, Crystal 4K UHD, Neo QLED 4K/8K, OLED, and QLED TVs, plus select G-series, M-series, and S55BG97 Samsung monitors. Examples of supported TV models include CU8000, Q60C, Q70C, Q80C, QN800C, QN900C, S90C, S95C, LS03C, Q60B, QN800B, and LS03B. These are examples from a longer compatibility list, not a guarantee for every Samsung set.

It also lists numerous original remote identifiers, including BN59-01312A, BN59-01329A, BN59-01330A, BN59-01385A, BN59-01432A, TM2261S, TM2280E, TM2360E, and TM2361E. Matching your TV model or original remote number against the full compatibility information is a more useful check than relying on “Samsung” alone.

Setup calls for two AAA batteries (not included). Hold Back/Exit and Play/Pause together for 5–7 seconds, then look for “Pairing complete” on the TV screen. The listing states a control range of up to 40 feet. Without having tried it, the clearest limitation to keep in mind is that the four app shortcuts have specific Tizen and model-year requirements.

Where it shines

The appeal is convenience rather than a new TV feature: voice search can reduce menu-by-menu browsing, while the preset buttons offer a direct route to apps. Compared with a simpler replacement that focuses only on basic navigation, this one is more suited to someone who regularly uses voice search and the supported shortcuts. If you rarely use either, those additions may matter less than getting the correct remote match.

Buying verdict

Choose this remote when your Samsung model or original remote number appears in its compatibility information and you want voice search plus shortcut buttons. Before ordering, check the exact TV or monitor model, the original remote identifier if available, and whether your TV uses Tizen, shortcut buttons are not listed as compatible with Orsay OS or built-in web browsers. If that match is unclear, a replacement confirmed for your precise model is the safer route. The batteries are another small practical detail: you will need to supply two AAA cells before pairing.
