Turning to the edges of the screen, the user can scroll through the content that is displayed or not zoom when needed. The user no longer cover the screen with your fingers to do such things. In fact, this idea was first implemented by Apple and Samsung digital bolts instead of screws digital is another smart way.
However, the South Korean firm this week published a Software Development Kit – or SDK – which contained a number of new details about the device. Earlier this year, South Korea's No. 2 tech firm, LG Electronics Inc., rolled out its latest smartwatch that boasted a round 1.3-inch plastic organic light-emitting diode display. Samsung's U.S. rival Apple Inc., meanwhile, commenced its sales of the Apple Watch around the globe Friday. The Apple's first smartwatch reportedly sold out in just six hours for the initial preorders. Meanwhile, Samsung said it will allow developers to access its software development kit to help them build applications for the soon-to-be released Gear wearable device.
It is the first time that Samsung has released its wearable software development kit to third-party developers before the official product announcement.
"We are collaborating with our global partners to provide a better Samsung Gear experience for users," the poster also said.
The next Samsung Gear will not run the Android Wear operating system, the Google software that powers LG, Sony and some previous Samsung wearables.
Instead, the upcoming Gear will use Samsung’s own operating system, Tizen OS.
The SDK also reveals a number of details about the hardware and – as you would expect – Samsung appears to have crammed its latest smartwatch full of sensors.The upcoming Samsung Gear will boast an accelerometer, heart-rate monitor, pressure sensor, gyrosensor and magnetic sensor, according to SamMobile.
The round display – a first for a Samsung smartwatch – will be 360x360, which works out at an eye-watering 305pixels-per-inch.
Samsung has yet to publicly announce the new Gear, so its possible there are some features and functionality still being kept secret.
More importantly, Samsung’s UI for the device has been outlined, as the company hopes to wrangle in developers for its Tizen OS for wearables. From the photos posted, it appears the rotating bezel is quite important to basic navigation and functionality, as spinning it can do a multitude of things. On the main screen, you can twist the bezel to see different screens, such as music controls, emails, and trending news.
However, the SDK has offered the best glimpse yet at the South Korea’s latest Apple Watch rival.
