Baseus is already known to us as a manufacturer due to the 3 in 1 cable. The Baseus R02 also has a USB type C plug, which is plugged into the bottom of a smartphone. It is made of aluminium, is 6 cm long and has a silicone tube to easily attach the controller to the key ring. At the other end sits the infrared blaster, which can communicate with any device that has an IR receiver. These include, for example, televisions, air conditioners, receivers or cameras.

The range is up to 10 meters. It should be mentioned that not every smartphone needs this connector. For example, most Xiaomi budget and mid-range models have an integrated IR blaster. This IR remote control would therefore be useless for these models. The models are equipped with the Mi remote control. If your smartphone is not included, Baseus recommends the Zaza Remote App (Android Download | not on iTunes anymore). This app also worked immediately on a Xiaomi smartphone.

If you have an iPhone, the infrared control is also available with a Lightning plug. If you have a Micro-USB Smartphone, a USB type C to Micro-USB adapter would be useful.
