The Smart View app is available for both Android and iOS devices. It comes with a virtual trackpad, which makes it smoother to navigate through the Smart Hub’s interface. It carries basically all the functions as the remote and even more. The Smart View app also acts as a secondary remote on the smartphone and tablet. The app compiles all your media in one place, so all you need to do is choose the file and stream it on the big screen TV for your friends and family to see. Once you have the app configured with the TV, it becomes easy to share photos, videos and music from your devices to the large screen TV. The new Smart View app lets you enjoy a better connectivity between your TV and other devices like smartphone, tablets and laptop. Its ultra-minimalistic design also makes it quite handy to use. Be it your set-to-box, gaming console or Blu-ray player, the Samsung One remote is the only thing you need. This saves you from the big hassle of switching remotes all the time. While the TV does the job of detecting the multiple sources connected to it, the new One Remote automatically lets you control them, becoming a universal remote by itself. The same goes for a gaming console, your set-top-box or any other device connected to your TV. For example, if you have a Blu-ray player connected to HDMI 1, then that port will identify it as Blu-ray player on the Smart Hub, with the relevant icon. It’s smart enough to understand and detect all the sources connected to it, so you don’t have to. With multiple sources connected to the TV, it often becomes a little confusing to figure out which device is connected to which port. So you always have something to watch on the TV. One of the best features though, is the OS’ intuition to learn what you like watching and recommend TV shows and other content based on your preference. Hovering over apps like Netflix, automatically displays the TV show that you’re watching, so all you need to do is simply hit play and start watching. Here you can find devices connected to the TV, the streaming services, apps, settings menu and everything you need. The layout consists of a band of cards that show up at the bottom of the screen. Just one press of the Smart Hub button, brings up all the content you’d want to watch on the TV. Everything is integrated in one place which makes it quite easy to use. Smart Hub is where you find all the content you want to watch on the TV. One example of this is to have streaming services like Netflix and Amazon prime installed right off the bat.
