New Delhi: The recently-unveiled Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear smartwatch launch event for the Indian market is expected to be held on September 17 and the devices would go on sale from September 25.
Samsung has sent out press invites to the Indian media to "experience the Next Galaxy" on September 17. Apart from the Note 3 and Gear which the company would go on sale from September 25, Samsung will come up with Note 10.1 in the last week of October, just before Diwali.
Samsung had unveiled the three devices at its Galaxy Unpacked event in Berlin. The Galaxy Gear smartwatch will work as an accessory to its market-leading Galaxy smartphones, with a small screen offering basic functions like photos, hands-free calls and instant messaging.
The Galaxy Note 3 is the successor to the Galaxy Note II smartphone launched last year. The company unveiled the latest version of the Galaxy Note phone-cum-tablet at the event before the opening of IFA. The new phone features an even bigger 5.7-inch full HD Super AMOLED (1920 x 1080) screen, improved stylus functions, a 13-megapixel rear camera and faster data connection than the conventional 4G network.
Samsung added enhanced security solution KNOX to the phone, setting its eyes on corporate users, a niche long dominated by Canadian smartphone maker BlackBerry Ltd Galaxy Gear. Running Android 4.3 OS, its LTE version will come powered by a 2.3 GHz quad-core processor, while the 3G version will be engineered with a 1.9 GHz octa-core processor. It has 3GB RAM.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be available in Jet Black, Classic White and Blush Pink.
Samsung says the Galaxy Gear can act as an extension to a smartphone by discreetly alerting users to incoming messages and calls on its display screen, which measures 1.63 inches diagonally. Users can even make calls, secret agent-style without getting out their phone. The Gear also sports a basic camera and works with popular social media and fitness apps such as Twitter and RunKeeper. The Galaxy Gear will come in six colours - Jet Black, Mocha Gray, Wild Orange, Oatmeal Beige, Rose Gold, and Lime Green.
