Berlin, Germany – September
4, 2013 – Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced the GALAXY Gear, a perfect companion device that further integrates the Samsung GALAXY
experience into everyday life. Samsung GALAXY Gear combines smart
device connectivity, tailored
technological features, and stylish design as a single premium
accessory.
“Samsung’s ongoing
smart device innovation leadership reflects our commitment to listen to our consumers,
who want
their daily lives to be easier and more
enjoyable. Samsung GALAXY
Gear
benefits consumers by integrating smart device technology even deeper into
their everyday lives, and bridges the gap between the mobile device and fashion
worlds to create truly wearable technology,” said JK Shin, CEO and President of IT &
Mobile Division, Samsung Electronics. “Samsung GALAXY Gear frees
users from the need to constantly check their smart devices while maintaining
connections. It provides what we call ‘smart
freedom,’ by allowing users to choose how, why, when and where they are
connected.”
Experience
new mobile communications freedoms
Samsung GALAXY Gear lets
users to live in the moment while staying connected to their Samsung GALAXY devices.
It 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.
When an incoming message requires more than a quick glance, users can simply pick up their Samsung GALAXY devices
and the Smart Relay feature will
instantly reveal the full content on the screen.
Voice
operation
The built-in speaker allows users to conduct hands-free calls directly from the Gear,
maintaining connections to their mobile communications without disrupting their
daily routines. For example, a user leaving the grocery store, whose hands are
full with shopping bags, could still make a call by speaking into the GALAXY Gear without touching the
screen. Users can also draft messages, create new calendar entries, set alarms,
and check the weather on the GALAXY Gear with S Voice.
Capture
daily life from your wrist
In addition to
enabling smart device controls, Samsung GALAXY Gear introduces several
features that help users easily capture
life’s meaningful moments which otherwise might be
missed. With the Memographer feature, a 1.9 Megapixel camera, users who are on
the move or participating in physical activities can record both photos and video to
create quick, visual records of important information or events from their
daily lives, as well as share them on their social networks. Extending the
quick-record concept, Voice Memo lets
users capture important thoughts or conversations from their wrists and save
those voice recordings into texts on their Samsung
GALAXY devices.
A
growing list of controls for favorite features
With the GALAXY Gear, users
gain a wide range of favorite features that further increase the benefits of
this new accessory. New security enhancement Auto Lock automatically secures the companion smartphone screen any
time that GALAXY Gear is more
than 1.5 meters away from the smartphone, and then unlocks the
smartphone when the companion devices are near each other again. Find My Device helps users find the
location of their smart devices when they have been misplaced by making them
beep, illuminate and vibrate. With Samsung GALAXY Gear, users can also control the music played on their
Samsung GALAXY devices. As with traditional music players, it helps users browse,
play and pause songs even when their smart device is not within reach. Finally,
the GALAXY Gear also works
like a Pedometer to track
physical activity via enhanced, built-in sensor technology. This feature systematically and
automatically monitors users so they can track key personal data such as
calories burned, steps taken and distance covered.
Standalone
Watch and Iconic Fashion Accessory
Samsung GALAXY Gear embodies
understated elegance. Its refined design, executed in, high-quality finishes,
conjures images of luxury jewelry while still being understated enough to go
well with any outfit. A rounded and simple flowing form wraps around the body,
integrating with the user’s personal environment, and maintaining comfort at
all times. The GALAXY
Gear
also serves as a wristwatch and includes several face options that create the
opportunity for users to personalize their watch face. 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.
Samsung GALAXY Gear will be launched
with the GALAXY Note 3 in more than 140 countries around the world starting from
September 25.
Samsung GALAXY Gear will be
on display at the Samsung booth # 20 at IFA 2013, September 6 through September
11, 2013.
