Universal Remote Control

While IR remote capabilities are only available in the U.S. and other industrialized nations on high-end phones such as the Galaxy S and Note series from Samsung or the HTC One M8 and M9, several manufacturers in China and India have begun to offer Android phones with advanced IR capabilities for as little as $50. The Peel Smart Remote is the most popular app globally taking advantage of IR capabilities, with more than 115 million registered users who have generated 100 billion remote commands to date.
