Does the remote use IR or Bluetooth?
It uses Bluetooth to avoid directional issues.
With Android TV, can I use my phone to control the TV instead of using the remote control?
Yes, since Android TV is part of the Google smart home ecosystem, the Google Assistant on the smartphone can be used to similarly instruct the Android TV to perform certain functions such as playing music on Spotify.
