I miss my IR blaster.

What about trolling at the gym or at restaurants with the IR blaster?

I used to use it all the time in restaurants. I sure hope that it comes back but it doesn't seem likely.

Flossy Carter is big on IR blasters and always complains about phones not having them.

If I were to design a phone, it was have 6.2 inch flat screen, 4k, 6GB ram, IR blaster, removable battery, and IP68 rating lol.

Really? I never knew one of my apple friends that cared about me possibly having an IR blaster lol.

I have to agree it's one thing I miss was great for going into friends houses and randomly turning of there tvs

I miss the IR blaster. That is one of the reasons why I hesitated when i decided to giving up my mate 9 for the Note 8. I must admit, I did not use it that much, but when I did, it sure came in handy.

A friend of mine lost his remote and just watched whatever channel it was on because he didnt want to get up. Then I started channel surfing and he was like HOW?!?!?!?!? he had an iphone. I had a Note4 that's how.

Note 4 was my last Note, before moving on to the V20. I miss the IR blaster.

I used to, but I have a Samsung TV now so I can still connect and control from my phone.

I still keep my Note Edge and Note 4 charged all the time so I can grab one of them and use as my remote. That's the only time I use them though.

I keep my Note 4 charged, or new battery, and keep it by my living room spot. Works fine on wifi and can change channels as needed. Gives my 8 a breather.

The Mate 10 has it. Wonder if the s9 will.

 

[chazglenn3]

No. Samsung killed it.

Yep, I'm not interested in counting my heart rate or scanning my irises - I loved the IR blaster.

(I also loved Group Play(?) - where you could place Samsung devices next to each other and they would form one big screen with stereo sound. Samsung killed that too.)

 

[magichoward]

Agree I have the note 8 it's good but I preferred the size of note 4 and hate the Curved screen

 

[km04]

I miss it to.

Don't miss the IR blaster from my prior phones

 

[Doug Moffat]

They took the IR, replaceable battery and MHL. And gave us glass and "cool" styling that is invisible because of my folio case. Thanks a bunch.

I never used it. To me, it was solution in search of a problem.

 

[kyleresq]

Totally miss it too.

I know it wasn't overly popular but I used it daily.
Sit down after a long day to watch TV and then be like...
Where's the remotes!?
I never used to have to do that.
