Nokia took everyone by surprise by announcing HERE Beta exclusively for Samsung Galaxy devices. Now, this post is to clarify three of the most frequently asked questions about HERE Beta for Samsung Galaxy and for wider Android audience.
First FAQ is: Which Galaxy devices will be able to install HERE apps. So, we asked right people at HERE about which Galaxy devices will be able to use HERE Maps and the answer is,
Compatibility: all Galaxy smartphones but works best with Galaxy smartphones that work with Samsung Gear S
The list of Samsung Gear S compatible Galaxy smartphones is not out yet and we will keep you updated.
Second FAQ is: When for other Android devices? The answer at this point of time is yes, it will eventually come to other Android devices and even AOSP smartphones but one may need to wait till end of the year. This is the official hint.
More news and extension of our reach will be announced by the end of the year
Third FAQ is: Where is the download link? So, answer is, when the Samsung Gear S hits stores beginning October, then expect both Samsung Gear S app, Navigator and Samsung Galaxy HERE Beta apps to be available to download.
