Samsung’s Smartwatch and Galaxy Note III revealed Sept 4th!
It’s all happening!
Samsung has confirmed that come September 4th, they will be holding a special ‘Unpacked Episode 2’ at The IFA in Berlin.
IFA, if you’re wondering, is the excellent sounding Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin, or, if you’re one of those people who like things to be explained clearly – one of the biggest industrial and consumer electronic trade shows in the world.
At the IFA last year Samsung unveiled the Note II, and the year before that the Note. It stand to reason that everyone is expecting the unveiling of the Galaxy Note III at this years event. Pretty cool.
At their Unpacked Episode 1 on March 15th this year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S4 handset at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. The event was also streamed live to Times square- a flashy display it is believed they will replicate at the Unpacked Episode 2 event.
So what can we expect from this event?
As we’ve said- we’re more than likely looking at the unveiling of the the Galaxy Note III,
AND ( this bit’s a little bit exciting),
Samsung new Smartwatch, purportedly called the Galaxy Gear. Fandroids excite!
Samsung are apparently super excited that they get to show the world their Smartwatch before Apple even gets there’s to the gate. The tech world will, of course, be very interested in matching them up against each other when Apple does release their rumored iWatch, and this will very likely happen late this year or early 2014.
Until then, though, on September 4th, we will be able to feast our eyes on Samsung’s Galaxy Gear.
According to SamMobile, the Smartwatch is likely to come in four different colors with a fifth being released a week later. The colors will be white, orange, gray, black, and the fifth color will be white gold.
It is also said to have a 2.5-inch touchscreen display with a camera, speakers, and an accelerometer. The watch will not be a stand alone device, using bluetooth and NFC to draw data from your smartphone.
These are said to be the specs:
- CPU: Samsung Exynos 4212 dual core 1.5GHz
- GPU: ARM Mali-400 MP4
- RAM: 1GB
- Display: 320×320 (3cm×3cm – 1.67-inches) AMOLED
- Camera: 2 Megapixel
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, NFC
The Samsung Galaxy Gear will more than likely be available in late September, although it could be pushed back a couple of weeks to early October.
Although we are admittedly more excited for the announcement and unveiling of Apple’s stand alone iWatch, this device is exciting too and we are looking forward to seeing it!
We are especially looking forward to seeing how many people buy the watch, indicating whether or not this wearable device thing is, well, going to be a thing. Will people start wearing watches again if they had stopped? Are we going to be going fully wearable now? What other wearable items can they turn tech? When will the line cross from wearable to implantable? Is this the start of, like, skynet? Are we getting ahead of ourselves?
The answer to that last one is yes.
