Summary
Samsung Remote Test Lab lets developers control Samsung mobile and watch devices remotely to test Android and Tizen applications on real devices over a network. Testing sessions can include screen capture and recording, audio streaming, and Auto-Repeat, which records an action sequence and replays it. Remote Debug Bridge can connect tools such as Android Studio to a remote device as if it were local. The service is free, but reservations consume a limited number of daily credits, and access time varies by device. Samsung does not guarantee that a particular device will be available at a given time. Use requires a Samsung Account, a JavaScript-enabled browser, JRE 7 or later including Java Web Start, and outbound port 2600 access. Remote Test Lab uses actual devices, but conditions may differ from production, so production models should also be tested. Devices featured on its page include Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy S26 Ultra, QLED 4K TV, and Galaxy Tab S11.
