Connecting using Bluetooth 3.0, the GamePad has an eight-direction D-pad, 2 analogue sticks, four face buttons and 2 triggers. The images Samsung has released do not make it clear, but it looks like that bit at the top slides up and out, and locks your smarphone in place.

The Smartphone GamePad features NFC connectivity, a wide range of control keys. Users can just clamp their smartphone on the GamePad for portable gaming or connect their device to their TV using an HDMI cable or AllShare Screen Mirroring for a home console feel.

In addition, the GamePad works in conjunction with the Mobile Console app to allow users to conveniently browse and buy GamePad supported games like Need for Speed Most Wanted, Asphalt 8: Airborne, and Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour.
