While Apple continues to reign supreme in the mobile market, there is an increasingly intense level of competition going on beneath. Brands such as Microsoft are making huge waves in the mobile sector with their new Windows 10 handset, for example, while HTC and LG continue to produce excellent models that deliver outstanding value for money.
We are also seeing the re-emergence of Samsung Electronics, which once competed on an even keel with market leaders Apple. Despite experiencing dwindling fortunes and profits in 2014, however, the brand enjoyed a renaissance towards the end of last year after releasing the outstanding Galaxy View.
In order to capitalise on this new-found momentum, Samsung Electronics is banking on the lucrative and rapidly evolving gaming market. Apple is less dominant as a brand in the gaming sector, while there is also a huge demand for mobile handset and accessories that are compatible with the needs of gamers. In order to break new ground in this market, Samsung has recently announced the release of a virtual gaming controller that is suitable for handset and tablets.
Interestingly, the app was initially considered as part of the Galaxy View release, and this makes sense when you consider that the 18.4-inch, 1080p tablet is ideal as a gaming medium. While the release of both products may have been staggered, however, this should not detract from the fact that the S Console Gamepad enables you to enjoy a high quality gaming experience when downloading titles on the Galaxy View.
Essentially, it adds considerable functionality to the Galaxy View, enabling users to undertake the type of activity that would usually be problematic on such a large device. This primarily refers to gaming, and the S Console Gamepad solution can be customised to feature a variety of designs (from a total of six templates) while also controlling the layout of individual buttons to suit individual games. So whether you are enjoying an episodic Hitman 47 installment or if you prefer to try best out of bingo sites gaming is easy, seamless and extremely immersive through the Galaxy View.
Our Final Thoughts
As it stands, there are an impressive 100 games available for the Samsung Galaxy View, all of which are compatible with the S Console Gamepad. This dedicated app also optimises the gaming experience across a range of alternative genres, meaning that it has the type of mass-market appeal that so few products have in the modern age. When you consider this in conjunction with Samsung’s virtual reality Gear headset and its accompanying Bluetooth controller, it is clear that the brand has a unique opportunity to steal a march in the mobile gaming sector.
We have yet to see how other brands respond, but Samsung are clearly focusing on gaming as part of a wider, forward-thinking strategy. This may just be the way forward, especially with mobile gaming already growing at an exponential rate as it continues to close the gap on traditional consoles.
