Samsung to unveil stand-alone watch-phone - report

2014-05-26 09:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Samsung is planning to launch a smartwatch that works as a stand-alone phone, the Wall Street Journal reported. The manufacturer is currently in talks with carriers in the US, South Korea and Europe about the watch-phone, and hopes to unveil the gadget between June and July, people familiar with the company's plans said. The watch-phone will have a Sim Card and be able to make and receive calls without being tethered to a smartphone, something most smartwatches on the market now can't do. It will also take photos, send email and come with GPS, Bluetooth and a heart monitor. The device will run on Samsung's homegrown operating system, Tizen, which co-developed with Intel. The sources declined to say what the device will be called, or whether a user will make calls by holding the watch up to his or her mouth.
