It’s been rumoured for some time now, and today, yet another rumour has suggested that the Samsung Gear Solo smartwatch is going to be announced alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 at the Samsung UNPACKED event next month. This rumour comes from Yonhap News, who interestingly suggests that the device will be announced on September 4th, despite the fact invites for the event have already confirmed that the event will be held on September 3rd, though perhaps they are accounting for the time difference.
The Gear Solo is expected to be the next step up from its Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo brethren by incorporating SIM card capabilities, allowing it to be operate ‘solo’ and make calls as a standalone device. It’s not clear what OS the device will be running on as Samsung has basically thrown out their platform-denoting naming conventions for the Samsung Gear Live, and is especially interesting given that Google has been unhappy with Samsung putting so much effort into its Tizen smartwatches. Whatever the case is, we’re excited to see what is announced on September 3rd at IFA 2014.
