Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch could bring further separation from Google Aug 21st 2013, 15:24, by Jared Newman As the likely launch date for Samsung's smartwatch draws closer, details on the wearable gadget are coming into focus. GigaOm is now reporting hardware specs and software details for the smartwatch, citing "sources who are familiar with Samsung's plans." This follows a report by Bloomberg that said the so-called Galaxy Gear smartwatch will debut on September 4. The specs, if accurate, seem more powerful than other smartwatches, with a dual-core processor, a built-in camera, NFC capabilities and small speakers on the clasp of the watch. A built-in accelerometer may allow users to turn on the screen by moving their wrists toward their eyes. The OLED touch screen will reportedly be square-shaped and measure roughly 2.5 inches diagonally, and the entire frame will measure 3 inches diagonally. If true, this would make Samsung's smartwatch larger than the Pebble. Despite the more powerful specs and large color display, GigaOm says battery life should be "pretty decent."
