Samsung gives away mobile phones for applications

Samsung wants to motivate developers to create apps and content for their devices. And it is that, starring in technological advances such as screens with curved sides and smart watches that take advantage of their rotating bezel, is useless if there is no content that justifies the use of these devices. The community of developers of the South Korean company in Spain, Samsung Dev Spain, knows this well, and for this reason they are once again raising the contest Devices by applications, with which to get your latest inventions as long as you develop an application that makes the most of them.

This is the second edition of Devices by Applications held in this 2016The first was six months ago, and with this one they want to repeat the experience, rewarding application creators with the latest gadgets on the market. Of course, in exchange for a good application that takes advantage of its benefits.

In this second edition, Samsung Dev Spain poses a special challenge for the latest smart watch from Samsung, the Gear S3 That is why developers who create an application that takes advantage of the rotating bezel and GPS that now includes this device.

You have to take into account that, in the case of wanting to get one of the watches, it is possible to participate with watchfaces orspheres for the background, but only two per participant.In addition, to be considered, they must have “great design, originality or a high level of interactivity”

Another of the proposals of Samsung Dev Spain is the creation of applications focused on getting the most out of curved ends or Edges of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and S7 EdgeTo do this, the applications created must focus on the interface that takes advantage of these curves to interact with the terminal.

The requirements are simple. Only genuinely new applications are accepted, and revisions of previously published tools cannot be used. These applications must be published in Galaxy Apps between November 18 and December 31, 2016 The rest of the bases of the promotion can be consulted in the document that has been shared from Samsung Dev Spain
