In a separate report by SamMobile, Samsung has been planning to launch a brand new smartwatch right after seeing the success enjoyed by Apple's own device. However, the report stated that the Korean company wants to wait until the dust has settled before releasing another smartwatch into the market.
Based on previous rumors, the Gear A will feature some interesting specs such as a rotating bezel ring that enables its user to switch through different apps, a crown-shaped power button, and Bluetooth capability.
Other rumored specs include 3G data, voice calling, and even wireless charging capabilities.
