Samsung could soon launch its new smartwatch, which would be characterized mainly by being round. We've known for a long time that the company is working on a round smartwatch, and it looks like it would be the next to hit the market. East Samsung GearR could be presented at the Mobile World Congress 2015.

Could be the best watch

There is not a single smartwatch that is on the level of the Samsung Gear S, Samsung's best watch, and the most complete, because it has a heart rate monitor, the ability to make calls independently of the smartphone, and integrated GPS. All this makes it a unique watch ... but also heavy, and ugly. It is curious that the company that so far has launched more smart watches has not launched any round, when Motorola, LG, Alcatel, and even some others who had never made a smart watch or a smartphone and have now decided to launch it have. . What can happen when the company that makes the most complete smartwatches decides to launch one with a better, round design? It could be the best smartwatch on the market.

As will be?

So far what we know about the smartwatch is not too much, but according to SamMobile, it will have the name Samsung SM-R720. It seems clear that the letter R that appears before the number refers to the round design that the watch will have, in the style of the LG G Watch R. However, right now they refer to it as Orbis. What we had heard regarding a round Samsung smartwatch had to do with a technology that would allow us to move through the interface by rotating the dial itself. Something similar to the Digital Crown of the Apple Watch, but being the sphere that would act as a rotary button. This would be the technology that this new smartwatch would have, which we call Samsung GearR. Finally, it must be said that it would have Tizen as an operating system. Hopefully soon Tizen smartwatches will be compatible with all Android smartphones.

When will it arrive?

Apparently, the new smartwatch would hit the market at the Mobile World Congress 2015, something that would have all the logic in the world. Samsung could also present the Samsung Galaxy S6 at this event. Both the new flagship and the new watch would have a completely different design than what they have been to date.
