Samsung takes the fashion angle with Gear S2 smartwatch

After being teased at Samsung’s Unpacked event, we’re getting a better look at the upcoming wearable, the Gear S2, from the South Korean tech company through what looks like a fashion spread or lookbook for its new devices. The new Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ are also featured in the shoot. When we look closer at the new smartwatch from Samsung we can see they’ve done away with angles and opted for something rounded. There also seems to be a white band and black band versions. And knowing Samsung there will probably be other colors of this as well.

The metal bezel will supposedly be rotatable so you can navigate the interface. You can see from the photos that there are two buttons at the side of the device. We’re not sure what they’re for at the moment. We’ll get the full details once the watch debuts at IFA in Berlin next month. But what was seen at the Samsung Unpacked event is that the interface looks like it has a different interface from Android Wear. So, we’re placing our bets that it’ll be running on Samsung’s Tizen operating system.

Samsung tipped to release a dual edge display for next Galaxy Note

With the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge out of the way, the rumour mill for the next Galaxy Note have started turning. The next Note, which if they follow the usual timeline should come out in September at IFA, will reportedly have dual edge display.

Based on a report from Korea, Samsung’s executive vice president of product strategy team Roh Tae-moon said, “There is a possibility that Samsung will introduce the curved display for the Galaxy Note lineup.” We can’t tell this early on if that’ll be coming to Note 5 or Note Edge 2. September is still far away and we’re sure more leaks and rumours will be cropping up ‘til then.
