Samsung Smartwatch review of a stand-alone smartwatch without a link to a smartphone is a timely gain for the Korean electronics firm after introducing the Samsung Gear 2 series at the MWC Barcelona 'Unpacked 5' event.
It looks like the folks at Samsung are taking advantage of iWatch delays by Apple to score some points ahead of its competition. Though Sony also has made a debut into the smartwatch market at the Las Vegas MWC 2013, the Samsung solo Smartwatch review looks like its way better than any other smartwatch available at the moment - that includes Pebble, w which has done well in marketing its watch.
Samsung Electronics Co. 005930.SE +0.14% will attempt to unveil a technogeek's dream-come-true, a wrist communicator that works as a standalone phone. The project is expected to launch in a few months - perhaps earlier than the coupled iWatch, iPhone 6 launch by Apple sometime near August or September.
Both the Apple products are highly anticipated, but reports confirm the rumor that the iWatch will not be ready by June, during Apple's build meet. There's no word of an imminent iPhone 6 either.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, "It will also take photos, send email and come with GPS, Bluetooth and a heart monitor, the people said-a suite of features that would make the gadget-toting James Bond proud. (The fictional British spy used a wrist walkie-talkie in the movie For Your Eyes Only)."
Samsung is in discussions with Korean, European and U.S. telecom firms to make its watch-phone entry into these markets by June or July, perfectly synched with WWDC Apple conference. The solo smartwatch will operate on Samsung's own Tizen, co-developed by Intel.
The Korean tech giant is now the biggest seller of smartphones after getting hold of the Android platform, an OS that offers numerous apps to consumers for free. There's also something to be said about Samsung's timeliness, making its releases well timed just as the Galaxy S5 and the Samsung Gear 2 releases were unveiled on February 24, giving the new releases plenty of visibility at the beginning of the year.
