Samsung's Smartphone GamePad transforms phone, tablet into a portable gaming console

Samsung has introduced the Smartphone GamePad and Mobile Console app to enhance the gaming experience on mobile devices. The Smartphone GamePad transforms a Galaxy smartphone or tablet into a portable gaming console or even a home console.
This portable device has a steel frame. GamePad is attachable to mobile devices ranging from 4-inches to 6.3-inches, thereby allowing users to play games wherever they are. Users can also connect Galaxy devices to their TV through an HDMI cable or AllShare Screen Mirroring for video game console experience from their living room.
GamePad connects with smartphones and tablets through Bluetooth pairing. Features optimised for devices running Android 4.3 enable easy connectivity with GamePad via NFC tag and quicker access to games via the "Play" button.
With just a tap of the "Play" button, users can easily access the Mobile Console app, Samsung's new integrated game launching app that opens in conjunction with GamePad to allow users to browse and purchase game pad supported games.
The Mobile Console app is available for download through Samsung Apps or by tapping the GamePad's "Play" button, and offers 35 dedicated games at launch with much more to come in 2014.
The GamePad is currently available in select European markets and will be available in additional regions in the coming weeks. The availability of the GamePad varies by market.
