Samsung Will Launch the Galaxy Gear

Samsung will launch its smart watch, the Galaxy Gear, on Sept. 4 ahead of the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin, Germany.

Lee Young-hee, VP of Samsung's mobile business, confirmed the date and some details about the device in an interview with The Korea Times.

“We will be introducing a new wearable concept device called Galaxy Gear at our own event in Berlin on Sept. 4," Lee said. He added that the Gear will not have a flexible display. "We are confident that the Gear will add meaningful momentum to the mobile industry."

Lee also confirmed Samsung's official launch of the Galaxy Note 3 at IFA, but he did not reveal any details about that device.
