오는 4월 독일 베를린에서 공개될 것으로 알려진 삼성전자의스마트워치 '갤럭시기어'에 전 세계의 이목이 집중되고 있는 가운데, 미국 유력 일간지가'갤럭시기어'에 대해 그리 혁신적이지 못할 것이란 전망을 내놨다.

 

3일(현지시간) 미국 월스트리트저널(WSJ)은 삼성전자가 이달초 독일 베를린에서 열리는 가전 박람회인 IFA2013에서 스마트워치(SmartWatch)인`갤럭시 기어'를 선보일 것이라면서 전 세계의 시선은 삼성이 모바일 산업에서 혁신능력을 갖추고 있는지를 평가하는 데 쏠려 있다고 전했다.

WSJ는 삼성전자가 애플에 앞서 스마트워치를 선보이게됨으로써 차세대 장치로 평가받는 착용 가능 기기(wearable devices) 분야에서 경쟁업체에 한발 앞선 것으로 평가하면서, 스마트워치인 `갤럭시 기어'가 실제로 얼마나스마트한지에 대해선 의문부호를 달았다.

 

당초 '갤럭시 기어'에 장착될 것으로 예상됐던 플렉서블 디스플레이도차세대 스마트워치에 적용될 것으로 알려졌으며, '갤럭시 기어'의 기능이 일본의소니가 지난 6월 출시한 스마트워치와 크게 다르지 않을 것으로 WSJ는 예상했다.

 

소니의 스마트워치는 블루투스를 통해 안드로이드 스마트폰과연동되며 이메일을 받고 통화 표시를 확인할 수 있다. 지금까지 알려진 삼성 갤럭시기어는NFC와 블루투스 LE 기능을 이용해 스마트폰과 연동을 지원하며, 손목 스트랩에 400만화소 카메라와 스피커, 마이크가 장착되며, 사용자의 활동량을 체크할 수 있는 운동센서를 내장할 것으로 전해진 바 있다.

 

정보기술(IT) 전문가들은 `갤럭시 기어'가 소니의 스마트워치와비슷한 수준이 라면 `갤럭시 기어'는 IT 분야의 리더라는 것을 과시하기 위한 삼성의선전 수단에 불과할 수 있다고 지적했다.

Samsung Introduces GALAXY Gear, a Wearable Device to Enhance the Freedom of Mobile Communications

September  4, 2013

Samsung GALAXY experience is now extended through GALAXY Gear 

Berlin, Germany - September 4, 2013 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced the GALAXY Gear, a perfect companion device that further integrates the Samsung GALAXY experience into everyday life. Samsung GALAXY Gear combines smart device connectivity, tailored technological features, and stylish design as a single premium accessory.

“Samsung’s ongoing smart device innovation leadership reflects our commitment to listen to our consumers, who want their daily lives to be easier and more enjoyable. Samsung GALAXY Gear benefits consumers by integrating smart device technology even deeper into their everyday lives, and bridges the gap between the mobile device and fashion worlds to create truly wearable technology,” said JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile Division, Samsung Electronics. “Samsung GALAXY Gear frees users from the need to constantly check their smart devices while maintaining connections. It provides what we call ‘smart freedom,’ by allowing users to choose how, why, when and where they are connected.”

Experience new mobile communications freedoms

Samsung GALAXY Gear lets users to live in the moment while staying connected to their Samsung GALAXY devices. It notifies users of incoming messages, such as calls, texts, emails and alerts, delivers a preview of those messages and creates the opportunity for users to accept or discreetly ignore those messages. When an incoming message requires more than a quick glance, users can simply pick up their Samsung GALAXY devices and theSmart Relay feature will instantly reveal the full content on the screen.

Voice operation

The built-in speaker allows users to conduct hands-free calls directly from the Gear, maintaining connections to their mobile communications without disrupting their daily routines. For example, a user leaving the grocery store, whose hands are full with shopping bags, could still make a call by speaking into the GALAXY Gear without touching the screen. Users can also draft messages, create new calendar entries, set alarms, and check the weather on the GALAXY Gear with S Voice.

Capture daily life from your wrist

In addition to enabling smart device controls, Samsung GALAXY Gear introduces several features that help users easily capture life’s meaningful moments which otherwise might be missed. With the  Memographer feature, a 1.9 Megapixel camera, users who are on the move or participating in physical activities can record both photos and video to create quick, visual records of important information or events from their daily lives, as well as share them on their social networks. Extending the quick-record concept, Voice Memo lets users capture important thoughts or conversations from their wrists and save those voice recordings into texts on their Samsung GALAXY devices. 

A growing list of controls for favorite features

With the GALAXY Gear, users gain a wide range of favorite features that further increase the benefits of this new accessory. New security enhancement Auto Lock automatically secures the companion smartphone screen any time that GALAXY Gear is more than 1.5 meters away from the smartphone, and then unlocks the smartphone when the companion devices are near each other again. Find My Device helps users find the location of their smart devices when they have been misplaced by making them beep, illuminate and vibrate. With Samsung GALAXY Gear, users can also control the music played on their Samsung GALAXY devices. As with traditional music players, it helps users browse, play and pause songs even when their smart device is not within reach. Finally, the GALAXY Gear also works like a Pedometer to track physical activity via enhanced, built-in sensor technology. This feature systematically and automatically monitors users so they can track key personal data such as calories burned, steps taken and distance covered. 

Standalone Watch and Iconic Fashion Accessory

Samsung GALAXY Gear embodies understated elegance. Its refined design, executed in, high-quality finishes, conjures images of luxury jewelry while still being understated enough to go well with any outfit. A rounded and simple flowing form wraps around the body, integrating with the user’s personal environment, and maintaining comfort at all times. The GALAXY Gear also serves as a wristwatch and includes several face options that create the opportunity for users to personalize their watch face. It will come preloaded with 10 different clock options and more choices will be downloadable via Samsung Apps. The GALAXY Gear experience can be further personalized by selecting from six colors that will be available at launch: Jet Black, Mocha Gray, Wild Orange, Oatmeal Beige, Rose Gold, and Lime Green. 

Samsung GALAXY Gear will be launched with the GALAXY Note 3 in more than 140 countries around the world starting from September 25.

Samsung GALAXY Gear will be on display at the Samsung booth # 20 at IFA 2013, September 6 through September 11, 2013. Full details and product images are available at  www.samsungmobilepress.com  or m.samsungmobilepress.com.
