Galaxy Gear extended to more Samsung devices

Galaxy Gear will enable S4 users to make and answer calls and view incoming alerts and notifications with just a glance. For a closer look at more important messages, users can simply pick up their master device and the Smart Relay feature instantly reveals the full content. Users can also find major social apps on Samsung Apps to maintain connections to their social networks.

With a 1.9 Megapixel camera, users can snap a visual memo by simply tapping the screen. Users can enjoy a built-in pedometer app and use it to control the music played on their master devices. The device also functions like a watch, with the option to change the face with 10 different clock options and even more options available via Samsung Apps.

The update will be available via KIES as the preferred method, FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) or users can visit their nearest smart care service centre where representatives can assist with the upgrade.
