Each devices includes a full QWERTY bluetooth keyboard, which adjusts depending on your needs and usage. Samsung said the devices have been designed to accommodate different user needs, such as the inclusion of a hinge to help recreate the feel of a laptop when typing. There is also a ‘stand mode’ for when watching movies.
In addition, Samsung has launched a new product called SideSync, which enables users to control their device, including responding to texts and emails and view photos taken from their handset, from their computer.
Both device will be available before the end of the year. Pricing details and launch partners have yet to be confirmed.
