There has been a lot of hype in the past few days about Samsung's possible upcoming smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear. Digital firm T3 has created a really cool concept video of the device. Check it out below.

Samsung Galaxy Gear to possibly be launched on September 4th

Bloomberg is reporting that Samsung's smartwatch is a "wristwatch-like smartphone" that will be launching on September 4th. The news source points to the Android-powered device being able to "make phone calls, surf the web, and handle emails." As indicated by a trademark filing, Bloomberg is expecting the device to be called the Samsung Galaxy Gear.

The report alludes to that the device will operate independently from your smartphone, but it's possible that Bloomberg's sources are saying that the watch will be a companion device to the smartphone, using its cell service. The Galaxy Gear is expected to launch on September 4th at the company's press event in Berlin.
