Samsung gaming controller unveiled

15 March 2013

Samsung has revealed its very own gaming controller, which will be used to sync with devices for mobile gaming.

The announcement came alongside the reveal of the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone, which will be the primary pairing device for the controller.

The control itself features a small and rounded design, two analog sticks, an inset d-pad, face buttons, and two triggers on the right and left.

The controller will connect to the Galaxy S 4 through Bluetooth, but unfortunately isn’t backwards compatible, so no Galaxy S3 or other smartphone compatibility.

The device requires two AAA batteries to operate, and also features a dock in the top of the controller for the Galaxy S4.

In terms of games, the controller will only work with games purchased from Samsung’s app portal.
