Samsung has finally announced the much awaited smartwatch or called as Samsung Galaxy Gear. Samsung GALAXY Gear combines smart device connectivity, tailored technological features, and stylish design as a single premium accessory. It has a 1.63 inch Super AMOLED display which has a resolution of 320 X320 pixels. It runs on a 800MHz processor along with a 1.9 MP camera.
The Galaxy Gear notifies users of incoming messages, such as calls, texts, emails and alerts, delivers a preview of those messages and creates the opportunity for users to accept or discreetly ignore those messages.
It will come preloaded with 10 different clock options and more choices will be downloadable via Samsung Apps. The GALAXY Gear experience can be further personalized by selecting from six colors that will be available at launch: Jet Black, Mocha Gray, Wild Orange, Oatmeal Beige, Rose Gold, and Lime Green.
