Samsung Planning SIM-Equipped Smart Watch


 
Samsung said to be planning to release the Gear 2 Smartwatch with its own SIM. The negotiation is in progress with SK telecom. If this project is successful, users of the Gear 2 will be able to make calls without a smartphone connection. It seems that the products will be available in Korea for a while, but it wouldn’t be long before Samsung expands its sale to the international market.

 

Meanwhile, Samsung once tried to launch a standalone watchphone in 2003. However, the Gear 2 is the first exploration in incorporating smart features. As it newly incorporates the features, the battery length issue has been raised. Samsung worked on improving its battery life and successfully add the capability to make calls without impairing its battery life.

 

A few other companies are looking to improve their smartwatches. Samsung will have to compete with the companies such as Google; Google announced the Android Wears. The key for Samsung to remain competitive will be having the ability to differentiate competing platforms.
