• Hi! The 50TU8000 features the upgraded version of the One Remote with more features and improved connectivity. With the added benefit of voice control on the TU8000 remote, you can access Bixby, Google Assistant, or Alexa through the remote without needing an additional speaker. The remote on the TU8000 also connects via Bluetooth, allowing for a 'point anywhere' style of control and more reliable functionality without the need for line of sight from the remote to the TV's IR sensor. ^Tim

• I have the 8 series. My phone and tablet are both Android. I use the voice controlled Google Assistant and it works very well. You can also use ALEXA.
