Samsung Galaxy Gear
Tech giant Microsoft is set to release a smartwatch in time for the holidays to rival the recently unveiled Apple Watch.
Sony Smartwatch 2 faces off with the Samsung Galaxy Gear in the smartwatch market.
It's probably not a big surprise, but South Korean IT giant Samsung looks to be preparing to challenge Google on the smartglasses front, patenting its own wearable computing "sports glasses" design in Korea.
The reviews are in, and the Galaxy Gear has emerged battered and bruised from tech testers. While certain features have been almost universally given a thumbs up, the overwhelming opinion is that the Galaxy Gear is just not ready for primetime.
While Bluetooth 4.0 LE support (found only in Android 4.3) is required for full connectivity with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, it looks as if basic functions between the two devices already work.
While you can currently pre-order a Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, packaged with the Galaxy Note 3 for $600 from Verizon Wireless - and more carriers are gearing up for launch soon, should you wait for the Galaxy Gear 2?
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear were slated to hit about 140 countries with a release date soon, and now we've got a report saying that the two will be launching in Canada starting on October 4.
We know that Verizon Wireless got the first slot for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date, but AT&T is following up right behind with its own.
We knew it wouldn't take long for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to begin its release in the U.S., but one of the details leading up to Samsung's unveiling of the phablet and its Galaxy Gear smartwatch accessory that no one knew was the price. Now we have a good idea of what Verizon will be charging for both device, including what they'll cost bundled together.
Just a month after the "Samsung Unpacked 2013: Episode 2" event, where the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear were unveiled to the public, T-Mobile will be releasing both in the U.S.
Verizon is the first out of the gate to sign people up for the Galaxy Note 3.
Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, along with its newest flagship phablet, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. "We have created something incredible," started the unveiling of the Galaxy Gear. But from the start, it seemed to look a lot like the prototype that VentureBeat exposed earlier this week.
Soon, the "Samsung Unpacked 2013: Episode 2" event will begin in Berlin. Watch the livestream of Samsung's announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear smartwatch here.
Over the weekend, VentureBeat got hold of a prototype of the new Galaxy Gear smartwatch through an anonymous source. They were not impressed. They wrote about the Galaxy Gear this weekend, with a headline "This is Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch: A blocky health tracker with a camera."
Samsung's upcoming "Samsung Unpacked 2013: Episode 2" event exists for the sole purpose of unveiling the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and its "Galaxy Gear" smartwatch accessory.
