There have been reports hinting at Samsung working on a smartwatch based on Google’s Android Gear. Now, some sources tell Cnet that the phone maker could launch its first smartwatch running Android Wear at the Google I/O event next week.
According to sources, the smartwatch will be on similar lines as the company’s Gear lineup, adds the report. It is believed to be working on two models of an Android Wear smartwatch – one using Samsung’s own chip and another powered by Qualcomm chip. However, there is no clarity on which one of these models the company plans to showcase at the Google I/O.
Last month, some leaked patents hinted at a Moto 360-like Samsung Android smartwatch. The patents showed some new features of the device, as well as mockups of its design. The highlight of the device appeared to be its ability to support hand gestures, which means users could simply move their wrist to control the device. The band of the smartwatch can also be used to control the device, suggested another patent.
Well, Samsung won’t be the only company to showcase its new wearable. Along with Samsung, LG will also put on display the highly anticipated G Watch, according to the report. There is no word on the Moto 360 being showcased at the developer conference yet. It should be noted that – just like other device in the best selling Moto clan – the Moto 360 is expected to launch soon at a highly competitive price. So, it is quite likely to compete with the Samsung Android smartwatch. Samsung is also rumoured to be working on the Gear Solo standalone watch-phone.
