Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch
While the world waits for Samsung to present its first smartwatch in the lead up to IFA on September 4, the tech world is abuzz with rumors on the features of the device bloggers are calling the "Galaxy Gear," pending Samsung's announcement of the official name. According to GigaOM, the watch is likely to feature a 2.5" screen and run under Android 4.1.
The smartwatch is expected to feature a dual-core Exynos 4212 SoC with a clock speed of 1.5GHz with ARM Mali-400 MP4 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and 1GB RAM. The device will come with a 1.67 inch display sporting a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels and 2 MP camera.
On the connectivity side, the device will bring NFC and Bluetooth technology as well. Let me remind you, take this rumor with a grain of salt as we have not seen any official announcement from Samsung regarding this. However, we have seen a patent filing few months back for a device code named SM-V 700 a few months back and concept design. I guess we have to wait a few weeks to see how much truth lies in this rumor. Stay tuned and we will bring you all the information we can get about the alleged smart watch.
