According to Tech Radar's report, GoPro recently teased the release of a new Smart Remote special for the action camera's devices, featuring the same buttons included in the camera's body. The teaser was announced by the company out-of-the-blue, with no preliminary talks or news regarding the new remote.
The 18-year-old smart camera company has already released the 2019 version of the first Smart Remote, which received mixed reviews from tech experts and enthusiasts. Most reviews said that the Smart Remote works best with GoPro's Hero cameras; however, they are not practical and a good value for their price.

The teaser came with the release of GoPro's latest feature called the Mural for the app's opening screen.
