The Samsung Android GamePad is a gamepad produced by Samsung Electronics. The device serves as a companion for Samsung Galaxy smartphones running on Android OS 4.1 and is optimized for Samsung devices running on Android 4.3. The gamepad was first introduced in 2013 in Seoul, Korea. It was later released for the European Market.[1]

History

Development

Samsung's development of the Android GamePad began at the same time that Apple Inc. began allowing third-party gamepads with the implementation of iOS 7. Unlike others, Samsung's device uses Bluetooth connection to link with a smartphone. Android 4.3 Galaxy phones have extended features including near-field communication support.[2]

Games

The mobile console app allows users to use supported games, including Need For Speed Most Wanted, Asphalt 8: Airborne, Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour, Virtua Tennis Challenge, Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame, and others.[3]

Further Use

The GamePad also allows players to use a larger screen for mobile gaming. A mobile device can be connected directly to an HDTV by an HDMI cable. In addition, a phone can be connected wirelessly through AllShare screen mirroring. The device can also be connected through Samsung's Smart Dock.[3]
