The South Korean electronics giant is reportedly preparing to announce the Galaxy Gear Glass in September.
Samsung will reportedly launch its much awaited Galaxy Gear Glass along with the Note 4 in September, at the IFA 2014 in Berlin. No images or specs of the device have been revealed till now.
Gear Glass is expected to run the next-gen Tizen OS, and comes with an earpiece and a display, “enabling people to listen to music with the right ear while looking at the display with the right eye,” according to Business Korea publication.
“We rolled out the smartwatch first, and have secured a considerable amount of smart glass-related technology and patents,” an unnamed Samsung associate said. “Following the roll out of our smart watch Galaxy Gear in September last year, we are slated to introduce our smart glass Gear Glass this September.”
