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.

LG snipes Samsung on Galaxy IV launch date, shows it has a sense of humour

While Samsung is attempting to 'take the fight to Apple by launching a product in their backyard,' with tonight's launch event. LG has seen an opportunity to dump on Samsung's pomp and pageantry by dropping a billboard right on top of Samsung's own billboard. Samsung's ad screams "Be ready 4 the next Galaxy," and LG's right above says "LG Optimus G is here 4 you now!" LG even matches Samsung's colour scheme of black and white panels.
