Samsung has announced details on its latest smart TV innovations. The features include an upgraded Smart Hub interface and a new Samsung Smart Control Remote.

"The world of TV is constantly changing, with more choices and more connected devices than ever before, so we have made it easier for people to discover and watch the content they want, when they want" said Won Jin Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. "In 2016, Samsung’s Smart Hub and Smart Control remote are providing the most streamlined, convenient and intuitive TV user experience.
