With the Samsung Galaxy S2 still winning accolades all over the shop, it was natural that Samsung was going to capitalise on this technology and release another version of the smartphone – albeit one that’s specs aren’t quite as impressive. Enter the Samsung Galaxy R; a fine addition to Samsung’s portfolio and one that tries to copy much of what the S2 delivers. After checking out the phone at IFA 2011, we did notice some differences between the Galaxy R and its bedfellow.

Until recently, you couldn’t see a live view of your picture as you frame it up on a digital SLR — the only way to see the image was through an optical viewfinder. Now, most of those fancy cameras let you see that image on a viewscreen using Live View, but this Pixel LD-W1 wireless remote control takes that a step further — away from that camera, that is. Connect the 2.4GHz transmitter to the camera’s flash hot shoe, and take the receiver up to nearly 200 feet away, viewing your shot on a three-inch, 960 x 240 LCD screen.
