What would a Samsung device be without the company’s own unique take on a user interface? For the forthcoming round-faced Samsung Gear smartwatch, it will take some hacking to figure out the answer to that question as Samsung has released the latest Gear SDK which includes a new user interface codenamed Orbis. Unlike past versions of smartwatches from Samsung, the round face of the forthcoming Gear device means developers will deal with some new challenges. The other new feature Samsung will bring to market is a rotating bezel that can be used to control functions on the watch, becoming a physical part of the interface.
The new information released by Samsung today reveals The Next Gear, which may hit the market as the Gear A, will come with a 360 x 360 pixel display and a resolution of 305 PPI. Sensors to be included in the device will be an accelerometer, gyrosensor, heart-rate monitor, pressure sensor, and a magnetic sensor. As far as connectivity, the device will include WiFi, GPS and cellular radio antennas.
In a series of screenshots for the The Next Gear smartwatch released by Samsung along with the SDK, you may note that the display does not have a gap at the bottom like some Android Wear powered devices. The ability to use the full screen is probably at least partially due to the rotating bezel that can be used for input and control purposes.
Sources anticipate the new smartwatch from Samsung will be announced along with the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 during IFA 2015 later this year.
