The controller connects to the Galaxy S4 handset via Bluetooth, so games can be played on a television screen. Users can also have their fun on the go as the controller comes equipped with a phone-friendly dock at the top.
Samsung's controller, advertised at the Samsung Unpacked launch event as the "Game Arcade" (though it remains currently without a formal title of its own) will work with the Galaxy S4 and Android Jelly Bean 4.2 and all subsequent hardware and software releases in the future.
