Even before the official launch of Galaxy Gear the rumor mill has Samsung already looking to the near future. Rumor has it that Samsung will be possibly debuting the second generation of the Galaxy Gear early next year. While companies usually debut such gadgets at the Mobile World Congress but Samsung may show their hand a little earlier. In fact, if rumors are true, they could be debuting at CES 2014.
If other aspects of this rumor are true, then version two will work with more than just Samsung devices. For those that don’t know, Galaxy Gear will only work with the Note 3 with a promised update in the future for current Galaxy devices. This is seen as Galaxy Gear’s Achilles’ Heel (used loosely). Given that the wearable tech relies heavily on your smartphone to function well, it’d be prudent for Samsung to make it accessible to a large number of Android devices.
Even if the rumors aren’t true, Samsung needs to open Galaxy Gear up to more devices. With the device launching September 25th, initial sales will dictate the Korean company’s next move. We’ll just have to wait and see for how that goes.
