NEW DELHI: South Korean tech giant Samsung is all set to launch its next flagship device — Note 9 at an event in New York on August 9. Rumors suggest that the company might also launch its new smartwatch with the phablet.
There was a lot of speculation that Samsung might drop the Gear branding from the smartwatch and the new wearable will be called as Galaxy Watch. Now it seems that the company itself has confirmed that its upcoming smartwatch will be called Samsung Galaxy Watch.
As spotted by CNET, the company accidentally listed the Samsung Galaxy Watch its US retail website. As per the listing the smartwatch will come in 42mm rose gold model and will bear a model number SM-R810NZDAXAR. Other than this, the listing gives no information about the launch date or price of the device.
Recently it was reported that Samsung is planning to bring Bibxy support to the Galaxy Watch. Rival to Apple’s Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, Bixby navigates through services and apps with simple voice, touch, vision and text commands. The company claims that the assistant also has contextual awareness capabilities to offer personalized users help.
The report further added that wearable will not have any dedicated button and the users will be able to access the virtual assistant with the help of S Voice feature. In order to access Bixby the users just need to give command Hi Bixby.
It is expected that with the Samsung Galaxy Watch it will ditch the its own izen OS and will run Google’s Wear OS. Rumours also suggest that the smartwatch is expected to house a 470mAh battery which is larger in capacity when compared to its predecessor Gear S3.
