Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Featuring S Cloud Service Demonstrated On Hands-On Video
It seems that Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will be the first device from Samsung to feature the company's cloud storage service called "S Cloud."
The South Korean tech giant was highly expected to release its own cloud service, the "S Cloud," alongside Galaxy S3 in May, but it didn't happen. However, it appears that the company is now set to unveil the service with Galaxy Note 2 as a hands-on video from German site BestBoyZ showed S Cloud in the device's settings menu.
The Verge reported that the video showed options for syncing photos and videos. Apart from requiring a Samsung account, the service also "hooked into Dropbox," which, according to the report, is "a good way to use that 50GB of free storage that Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Camera owners will receive."
Sammy Hub reported in February that the launch of S Cloud could be delayed as its infrastructure, developed by Samsung SDS, "turned out to be unsuitable for global market." The report also said that Samsung was looking for a commercial cloud storage partner.
It's yet to be confirmed what S Cloud would offer beyond Dropbox's typical video and photo uploading on Android. The Verge report said that the service could still be in the developing stage as Samsung has not yet made any announcement related to that.
However, the appearance of S Cloud in Galaxy Note 2's settings menu is indeed "the strongest indication yet that it exists in some form," the report added.
