After the launch of the Evo Gamepad Pro in August last year, Amkette, an Indian lifestyle technology brand, has introduced an upgraded version of its wireless Bluetooth controller for Android smartphones, the Evo Gamepad Pro 2.
Amkette Evo Gamepad Pro 2 comes with media control buttons, and over 400 compatible games are available through the Evo Gamepad app (opens in new tab).
One of the key features in the Gamepad Pro 2 is the introduction of the sleep mode, which shuts down the gamepad when it is not in use for more than eight minutes. The new Evo Gamepad Pro also comes with an improved clamp spring for easy, safe, and convenient docking of your smartphone. The company claims that the improved trigger and bumper buttons provide better control and an enhanced user experience.
Commenting on the mobile gaming ecosystem in India, Rajiv Bapna, Director, Amkette, said:
We have received great response for the Evo Gamepad Pro. It has become huge with smartphone gamers. The upgraded version has some enhanced features and has the potential to become a necessity for Android gamers. Smartphone gaming in India continues to evolve. Last year, over 120 million Indians were called "Mobile Gamers". The number is going to increase in the coming year as well as the ecosystem around smartphone.
