The hand feeling and manipulation of playing games on mobile phones have always been weak, especially in the era of touch screen mobile phones. The hand feeling without physical keys will greatly reduce the game experience. Many peripheral manufacturers have introduced Bluetooth handles for mobile phones, and Samsung also has a Galaxy The Game Pad handle of series mobile phones supports NFC and Bluetooth technology. Today's evaluation will give you a taste of this device that makes mobile phones become handheld devices.
The package of Samsung Game Pad is a white paper box, on which is marked a mobile phone suitable for 4 inches to 6.3 inches (6.3 inches should correspond to Samsung's largest mobile phone Galaxy Mega 6.3). It supports Bluetooth 3.0 technology and can work with Android 4.1 and above systems ▼
On the back of the package are some simple multi language instructions ▼
Open the package and use transparent film to protect Game Pad ▼
The parts are very simple. There is only one multi country instruction manual (Kendal's package is in Chinese, but the instruction manual is not in Chinese) ▼
From the perspective of modeling, Samsung Game Pad is no different from general game consoles. Two analog rockers, one direction key and four game keys are placed on the front of the handle, and a "Play" button in the middle opens Samsung's game application ▼ specially designed for Game Pad
There are open keys on the side of the handle. Select the menu key and start key ▼
Bluetooth signal light ▼
The arrow keys in the lower left corner are actually the arrow keys, but they are more like a rocker in shape, and the touch of the arrow keys is not good. A long game will make your fingers ache ▼
There are two L and R keys ▼ at the top of the handle controlled by the index finger
NFC mark on the back, product model EI-GP20, made in China ▼
To enter the "handheld mode", just pull out the clip on the Game Pad and place the phone inside to fix the phone ▼
Galaxy S5 ▼
Back shape, you can see that a curved metal rod is used between the phone buckle and the handle ▼
Side view ▼
The effect picture of running the game shows that the overall grip is good, but the feel of the direction keys is really ordinary. Most games need to use the direction keys, so the game experience is not very good ▼
The top L and R keys use the index finger to operate ▼
The usage of the Game Pad is very simple. Just turn on the switch and search the Bluetooth of the Game Pad with your mobile phone. As shown in the figure, your mobile phone is connected to the Game Pad ▼
Open S Console (downloaded from Samsung App Store), a special client for Game Pad, and there are 41 matching games ▼
After selecting a game, it will be directly linked to the Samsung App Store. Of course, most games are charged ▼
We choose several games to test. First, Samsung's own Striker Soccer G11. After entering the game, we will see the corresponding control options in the menu. We choose the handle operation ▼
After entering the game, the virtual keys on the screen disappear. At this time, you can use the handle to operate, but the strange thing is that the direction keys fail, and the pass and shoot keys are normal. Samsung's own devices with their own games have such low-level problems, which is puzzling ▼
Dance of Three Swords Third Blade. Game Pad does not need to be set in advance. There is no problem with the operation, but the virtual keys on the screen do not disappear, blocking the view ▼
Finally, the classic Boxing 97 transplant version. This game has special adaptation for Game Pad, and all key functions can be used. In the setting, you can select the special key setting ▼ for Game Pad
However, the feel of the direction keys is really not good (the rocker doesn't work here), so it is very difficult to "rub". After playing for a few minutes, the left thumb will ache ▼
From the above games in the S Console, the adaptation of Game Pad is not ideal, even in their own games. In games other than S Console, the game itself needs to support the Bluetooth handle, and the Game Pad can be used normally only after the key function is customized.
