Among the many official Galaxy S4 accessories from Samsung, there’s one in particular that caught our eye. It’s called the “Game Pad” and it appears to be nothing more than a Samsung-branded MOGA-like controller. Presumably connected via Bluetooth, the device also locks in various smartphones.

Where things get interesting are in the specifications which indicate support for 4-inch up to 6.3-inch smartphones. Seeing as how Samsung has yet to announce anything with that screen size, it stands to reason this is the display size for the upcoming Galaxy Note 3.

We’ve heard plenty on this front regarding the screen size for the presumed smartphone but this seems to be a little more on the official side.

Samsung’s ‘Project J’ may be a series of 3 new devices

Posted by androidjunkie at 16 February 2013

Tags: , , ,

While it’s been known for awhile the Project J is a Samsung thing, the rumors were that it was the codename for the Galaxy S IV. However, once that name was actually revelaed as Altius, the rumor mill went quiet on project J – until now.

While details are still being thrown around, it appears as though “Project J” may not be just one device, but rather a whole family of three different devices. Initial rumors could lead us to say that the entire lineup may include the Galaxy S IV, Galaxy S IV mini, and a mystery 3rd device. The S IV mini is said to be running under codename Serrano, and is missing the wireless charging ability of it’s big brother.

The actual codename for the 3rd device seems to be Fortius, and looks to be a display device, such as a smartwatch, or something similar. The rumors say that, whatever it is, it comes with a pouch, and armband, and a bike mount – again, just speculation right now.

Here’s a complete list of speculated accessories:

Project J Altius:

  • Clear Cover
  • Flip Cover
  • Protective Cover
  • Pouch
  • Extra Battery Kit
  • Battery 2600 mAh
  • Wireless Charging Kit
  • HDTV Adapter
  • Headset

Project J Mini Serrano:

  • Clear Cover
  • Flip Cover
  • Protective Cover

Project J Active Fortius:

  • Arm Band
  • Bike Mount
  • Pouch

Android 4.2.2 update rolling out for Nexus 7, 10, and GSM Galaxy Nexus devices

If you’ve got one of the more recent Nexus devices, chances are you’ll want to hit up the update menu in your settings. The rollout for 4.2.2 to Nexus 10, Nexus 7, and GSM Galaxy nexus phones has started. While the update doesn’t seem to include the Nexus 4 (strangely), we can only assume that, considering the other devices that are getting the update, the N4 can’t be far behind. Reports don’t indicate any major changes in this update, but it’s sure to have a slew of bugfixes that could come in handy.
