Samsung Orbis, Are the Next Galaxy Gear?

Samsung was one of the first companies to bet on wearables, specifically by smart watches. The first device presented to the public was the Samsung Galaxy Gear back in 2013, a square smartwatch that go along with the phablet company at the time, the Note 3.

Since then, the Korean manufacturer has chosen this type of devices, both following the same strategy as in mobile phones, get a watch almost every year. In this 2015 far not been any smartwatch, but are beginning to emerge the first rumors of how you can be.

Although the previous year during the Mobile World Congress, the company introduced two devices wearables, this year has not happened. Surely Samsung must have thought that perhaps it is better to wait and see which performs the competition and then take them a device that sells well when the market this preparation. The opposite occurred with the first Gear, of which only some are agreed.

Seeing that the trend of the major manufacturers like Apple, or manufacturers that are booming as Xiaomi is launching the smart watches market with a round case. And perhaps because of this new trend has the Moto 360, a device captive all nothing more than to depart early data, Samsung thought about throwing in the not too distant future around smartwatch and a touch of quality compared to the other watches in the same range.

The information comes from a patent filed in May last year and has now come to light, under the name of Samsung Orbis could hide new version of the Galaxy Gear. These documents are detailed and interesting pictures on the look of the watch and tennis as it could be.

Not only the design would be much nicer, but also Samsung equip your device with interesting features. The first one is that the camera clock will be able to recognize objects. As a result, the gadget could scan barcodes, and may be used to translate texts. This could be one of many utilities have a camera on your wrist, because in my opinion I see absurd shooting with smart watch when you have a smartphone with an upper chamber. The next thing that stands between the documents, is the operating system, which as usual, runs Tizen, leaving aside Android Wear, at least at the start of production.

The Orbis Samsung is South Korea’s bid to compete against Apple Watch and is expected to be announced this year, so for now we have to wait a little longer for more information on how to be really their appearance. Do you prefer the round or square watches?
