Samsung is known to be working on a new smartwatch to take on the Apple
Watch. Now, a new report by SamMobile, known to provide accurate details
about unannounced Samsung products, now reveals that the company
plans to delay the launch of its new smartwatch until the hype around the Apple Watch
dies down.
SamMobile
has learnt that the launch has been pushed to the second half of
the year, most likely September alongside the Galaxy Note 5, so
that the company can “follow a proper time table with its product
launches, and possibly to give the market time to settle down with the Apple
Watch’. Needless to say, Apple Watch is the most talked-about smartwatch.
Moroever, Samsung already has several failed attempts at wooing audiences
with a smartwatch.
Samsung has announced a slew of other watches in the past (none have managed
to make an impact), but the highlight of the upcoming wearable is
its round face. This is the first Samsung smartwatch with a round face. We
have previously seen the similar pattern being followed by Motorola with
the Moto 360 and LG with the G Watch R smartwatches adopting circular
screens.
It will reportedly also come with a ‘rotating bezel ring’. It is internally
codenamed Orbis, but could be launched as ‘Gear A’.
Interestingly, we’ve been hearing about this smartwatch for quite some time
now. It was earlier rumoured to be announced at MWC and hit stores on
the same day as the Apple Watch.
Now, it is expected to be announced at the IFA 2015. At the IFA, the
company is also expected to announce the Galaxy Note 5. We may
see just one variant of the Note 5, featuring a 2K or 4K Super AMOLED
display and powered by an Exynos 7422 processor. Besides, Samsung will also
launch the Project Zen
that is likely to replace the Galaxy Note Edge. It won’t simply be a variant of
the Note 5 with a curved display, but a completely new product.
