Samsung will unveil its new Smart Control TV remote at CES 2014

Samsung couldn’t wait for CES to start leaking information about its new HDTVs, starting with the remote. After rolling out larger and larger contraptions over the years with more buttons, this year’s “Smart Control” model is 80 percent smaller than the 2013 version.

Samsung Electronics announced the release of its 2014 Samsung Smart Control, the updated version of its Smart TV remote control featuring faster and more accurate control features, better content selection, and an improved design. The new Smart Control will be unveiled at the CES 2014 in Las Vegas. The 2014 Samsung Smart Control combines gesture-recognition with a new button console and touch pad to provide frequent Internet video users with more accurate content selection and faster focus movement.
