The [smart remote control](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linxura-smart-home-controller) is designed to transfer content with a tap, so that viewers can easily share content from their phones to LG TVs, or the other way around. Rather than being in a group of people and having to pass around a phone or huddle around a small screen to see vacation photos or memorable videos, people can now easily enjoy the benefit of viewing content on a much larger surface. The one-touch LG Magic Remote is designed to give users the freedom to view stored content and still use their favorite smartphone apps and features.
