Samsung to launch smartwatch, Galaxy Gear

There have been previous rumours of Samsung launching its smartwatch and the Galaxy Note 3 at the IFA conference in Germany by September but the rumours have now gained more ground as Bloomberg have now added to it.

Bloomberg claims that people in the knowledge of the matter have revealed that the device will be unveiled alongside Galaxy Note 3 by September 4, two days before the IFA conference in Berlin, Germany.

The Gear will be able to handle phone calls, browse the internet, and handle emails according to the sources. It will be powered by Google’s Android operating system.

This move according to analysts, is to beat Samsung’s biggest rival Apple to the smartwatch market. Companies like Sony already have smartwatch in the market and it is being predicted that the smartwatch market could be a very big one in the nearest future just like the smartphone market is now.

Not to forget, Samsung is the leading smartphone manufacturer worldwide and it will also be looking to lead the market for another profitable product. There have been previous rumours that Apple is also planning to make its own smartwatch in the nearest future so this can be expected the be a fiercely contested race very soon.
