Getting Started Samsung Galaxy GamePad, the joystick ... - Frandroid

This accessory is already available at our local dealer for a few weeks, but we had not had the opportunity to take control. The Samsung Galaxy GamePad controller has been designed to bring a dimension “games” to smartphones to deliver a better user experience on Google Play games.

can find the machine around 60 euros, this Galaxy GamePad controller therefore an argument for appeal: it is accessible. But what is it worth? Galaxy GamePad incorporates a removable label which is installed in the mobile, it is compatible with many Android smartphones – even wider. Compatible devices must incorporate Android 4.3, Bluetooth 3.0 and NFC technology if possible.

It has a 8-pad, two analog sticks, four buttons and two triggers accessed by index. A fairly complete package that allows it to adapt to many games. It could add a touch pad, however it should free up some space. With Bluetooth 3.0 you can also use a remote screen (eg TV), or simply ask your smartphone / tablet on a coffee table.

Note that the controller is powered by two AAA batteries. I’ve tested a FPS, and I noticed an immediate response, which is essential in a FPS or a game like Sonic where responsiveness is critical. The alignment of the handle is eerily similar to the Xbox 360 controller with the A, X, Y and B, familiar multicolored buttons. The design is good and also the grip, my first impressions are pretty good.

Have you had a chance to handle the Galaxy GamePad for some time? What is your opinion?
