New report from the U.S. has revealed that the much-speculated Samsung smartwatch Galaxy Gear will be launched alongside the company's flagship phablet Galaxy Note 3 on 4 September at 'Samsung Unpacked 2013 Episode 2' event in Germany, just two days before the international electronics trade fair IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin) 2013 kicks-off.
Apart from its launch date, Bloomberg reported quoting sources that Samsung smartwatch will allow the users to make calls, browse web and check emails. Many believe that Samsung's smart wearable device may make use of Bluetooth technology to hook to the smartphone to perform the mentioned functionalities.
