Samsung to launch Galaxy Gear 2 in 2014: Report

Unlike the current Galaxy Gear, which is compatible with Samsung's own Galaxy Android devices, the upcoming Galaxy Gear 2 is likely to be made compatible with more Android devices, perhaps non-Samsung devices as well.


Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy Gear and Note 3 today in India. But now a Korean news website, known as Daum, has claimed that a second version of the watch could come out as soon as 2014.

Sources, quoted by the website, also claimed that Samsung has already started on development after the Galaxy Gear was greeted with a lukewarm response as it is only compatible with Samsung's own Galaxy Android devices. Thus the Galaxy Gear 2 is likely to be made compatible with more Android devices, perhaps not-Samsung devices as well.
Samsung announced the first version of Galaxy Gear earlier this month. It comes with a 1.63-inch Super Amoled with 320x320 pixel resolution. It packs an 800 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM, and 4 GB internal memory. The Samsung Galaxy Gear also features two microphones with noise cancellation and has 1 speaker. Using the microphones, one can perform hands-free calls.
