  • As the report notes, this isn't to be confused with Samsung's impending Wiimote feature, which is a touchpad app for iPhone coming later in 2025. Apple has its own Apple TV remote feature for iPhone, but a gesture-controlled TV powered by a smartwatch would be a unique and game-changing upgrade for Samsung smartwatch users.

The article from TechRadar discusses a new patent filed by Samsung that hints at the possibility of turning Samsung Galaxy smartwatches into TV remotes, reminiscent of James Bond gadgets. This feature would allow users to control their TVs directly from their wrist, using the smartwatch's interface to change channels, adjust volume, and possibly more. The patent suggests that the smartwatch could use infrared signals or Bluetooth to communicate with compatible TVs. While this technology isn't available yet, it showcases Samsung's interest in expanding the functionality of their smartwatches beyond fitness tracking and notifications, potentially integrating them more seamlessly into smart home ecosystems.
