The Samsung Wireless presents itself as a solution to the limited storage capabilities of modern phones and tablets. And in parts, it is very successful.
For one, the drive itself is very portable. It does not weigh much at 275g, and due to its dimensions of 19.9mm x 89mm x 126.5mm (WxHxD) – it can certainly fit in jacket and jean pockets to take on-the-go.
The Wireless is easy to setup and connect to, and files can be accessed through the official Samsung app for iOS and Android, which is clean and straightforward. You can also connect via a web browser on other devices.
Streaming itself is a smooth affair with 1 device connected. FHD video plays as expected, and songs play at a high quality. However, with 3 or more devices all streaming FHD video, the viewing experience goes downhill very quickly. This is not ideal, but just gives an indicator of what the Wireless is capable of.
Still, if you just want to be able to take more videos and music on the go with you, the Samsung Wireless device will do that very well. It is a fairly expensive solution costing £119.99 – but given that the difference between a 16GB iPhone 6 and a 128GB iPhone 6 is £160, it offers comparatively very good value.

KitGuru says: For the individual with just not enough mobile storage space, the Samsung Wireless seems the perfect solution. For a family all looking to share videos and music, you would be best advised to look elsewhere, as the Wireless can't quite cope streaming HD video to more than 2 devices.
