Samsung Smart TV BN59-01357A Voice Remote (2019-2025)

This Woniry Bluetooth voice remote replaces the Samsung BN59-01357A controller for Smart TVs released between 2019 and 2025. It is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) remote, not an IR remote, so it must be paired with the TV before it works.

Compatible Models:

Crystal UHD series (2019-2025), QLED series (Like QA50LS03AAKLXL) (2019-2025), Neo QLED series (2021-2025), The Frame series (2019-2025), The Serif series (2019-2025), Samsung 4K and 8K Smart TV models from 2019 onwards. This remote does NOT work with pre-2019 Samsung TVs that shipped with IR-only remotes.

What is in the box: the replacement remote only. Two AAA batteries are not included. No user manual.

How to pair this remote with your Samsung TV:

1. Switch on the TV using the original remote or the power button on the set, and stay on the home screen.
2. Insert two AAA batteries into the new remote (not included).
3. Hold the Return and Play/Pause buttons together for about 5 seconds until the LED on the remote starts blinking.
4. The TV will show 'Pair new remote' or detect the remote within 30 to 60 seconds.
5. Once the LED stops blinking and stays solid, the remote is paired. Test the volume button.

First-time tip: keep the remote within 30 cm of the TV during pairing. After pairing, it works from across the room.

Note: if your TV is currently paired to a different remote, the new remote may need the TV to be in pairing mode (TV settings, Remotes and Accessories, Add new remote). Some Android TVs only allow one paired voice remote at a time. If your original Samsung remote had a solar charging strip on the back, this replacement does not include that feature. It runs on standard AAA cells.

FAQ :

Q: Does this remote need pairing every time I turn on the TV?
A: No. Pairing happens once. After that the TV remembers the remote and reconnects automatically when you press a button.

Q: Will the voice search button work in Hindi?
A: Yes, if your Samsung TV software supports Hindi voice input. The microphone itself is language-agnostic.

Q: My TV is a 2018 Samsung 4K model. Will this remote work?
A: Probably not. Samsung switched from IR to Bluetooth voice remotes in 2019. Check your original remote. If it has no microphone and no pairing requirement, you need an IR remote instead.

Q: Can I pair two of these remotes to the same TV?
A: Some Samsung models allow multiple paired remotes. Others limit you to one at a time. Try pairing the second remote while the first is still active. If the TV forgets the first remote, it only supports one.

Q: What is the battery life?
A: About 6 to 8 months on two AAA cells with moderate daily use (2 to 3 hours of TV per day).
