Samsung X BMW, Trek Bikes & Kidrobot

Samsung Galaxy Gear with BMW i Remote

MANILA, Philippines - The BMW i3 — the world’s first fully-connected, electrically-powered car — features an integrated SIM card, giving drivers access to the vehicle from anywhere at any time. By utilizing the BMW i Remote Application, drivers can share information with the vehicle directly through their mobile device to perform useful functions: from being able to access the battery life and driving range, to checking to see if the windows are shut or adjusting the car’s climate remotely.

 Samsung and BMW have collaborated to create a Samsung Galaxy Gear showcase specifically designed for the BMW i Remote application. The Samsung Galaxy Gear extends the smartphone experience to the user’s wrist, giving real-time updates and convenient access to their car. Users can view important information on the Galaxy Gear without having to take their smartphone out of their pocket or unlock a screen. With the Samsung Galaxy Gear, users are now able to control their BMW i3 directly from their wrist. 

Trek Bikes: Connected lifestyle to the next level

Samsung and Trek Bikes, manufacturers of one of the world’s highest performing bicycles and cycling equipment, have teamed up to enhance the cycling experience with powerful smartphone technology.

Trek has designed two concept bicycles to demonstrate the multiple possibilities for integrating smartphones with bikes, delivering several benefits for cyclists. While pedaling, the bike can charge the Galaxy Note 3. This enables users to enjoy long bike rides without worrying about their smartphone battery running low, even with GPS, mapping and other applications running.

Through the Galaxy Note 3 seamlessly mounted into the handlebar or from a Galaxy Gear on the wrist, cyclists can wirelessly connect to the bike frame-integrated sensor and track vital statistics, such as speed, cadence and distance.

Kidrobot: Technology meets art and design

Samsung and Kidrobot — the world’s premier creator and dealer of limited-edition art toys, signature apparel and lifestyle accessories — have collaborated to design unique, custom figurines inspired by the power of Samsung Galaxy mobile devices. An increasingly important platform for self-expression, mobile technology connects with users through accessories, creative applications, or digital design within the device itself.
