Saving us the trouble of hunting for AAA batteries is truly the Lord\u2019s work, so thank you Samsung.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the Korean tech giant has upped its remote game by including a new ability: Wi-Fi Charging. Yes, the new remote can literally charge through your routers useless signals that bounce around your house. How cool is that!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about how this magic happens, the answer is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onio.com\/article\/benefits-of-rf-energy-harvesting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">RF harvesting<\/a>, which collects radio waves from devices like your router and converts them into energy. Samsung says this will help the remote stay fully charged all the time.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-featured_img wp-image-1377100 js-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-796x485.jpeg\" alt=\"Samsung's 2022 Eco Remote can charge through your router\" width=\"796\" height=\"485\" sizes=\"(max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-796x485.jpeg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-280x170.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-222x135.jpeg 222w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-443x270.jpeg 443w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-1536x935.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-1592x969.jpeg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA.jpeg 2040w\"><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/samsung-remote-router-solar-charging-2022#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2022%2F01%2F03%2Fsamsung-remote-router-solar-charging-2022%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Samsung\u2019s 2022 Eco Remote can charge through your router\" data-title=\"Share Samsung\u2019s 2022 Eco Remote can charge through your router on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Samsung\u2019s 2022 Eco Remote can charge through your router on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"><\/i><\/a>Samsung\u2019s 2022 Eco Remote can charge through your router<\/figcaption><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-featured_img wp-image-1377100\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-796x485.jpeg\" alt=\"Samsung's 2022 Eco Remote can charge through your router\" width=\"796\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-796x485.jpeg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-280x170.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-222x135.jpeg 222w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-443x270.jpeg 443w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-1536x935.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA-1592x969.jpeg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/01\/FIJHUG8XMAQzjoA.jpeg 2040w\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Researchers have noted in the past that this technique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/317071784_Wearable_Energy_Harvesting_From_body_to_battery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">can <\/a><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/317071784_Wearable_Energy_Harvesting_From_body_to_battery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">only generate a small amount of energy<\/a>, which is enough for low-power devices like TV remotes<\/span>. So don\u2019t dream of <span>charging your phone with your router\u2019s radio waves just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Apart from this new charging tech, Samsung has also improved the solar panel on the remote so that it can charge through both indoor and outdoor light. If you think all of this takes too much time, you can always use a USB-C cable to juice up the remote quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s new Eco Remote will ship with all of its 2022 TV models. This is a good selling point for people considering getting new TVs (aka me) this year.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in learning more about RF harvesting, you can read <a href=\"https:\/\/mnsl-journal.springeropen.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s40486-017-0051-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">these<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/1505.06815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">papers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/samsung-remote-router-solar-charging-2022\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of us at TNW were over the moon when we heard about Samsung\u2019s new remote powered by a Solar panel&nbsp;last year.
