Galaxy Gear will be compatible with Galaxy S 4, S III and Note II soon; but how soon?

You’d wonder how smart a smartwatch really is if you really can’t pair it with more devices than just one, and ever since Samsung launched the Galaxy Gear, one of our biggest complaints was that we simply couldn’t use it on most of the existing and popular Galaxy smartphones in the market. Android 4.3 is required for the Galaxy Gear to work, and that’s rather unfortunate since Samsung hasn’t really been famous for timely updates in the last two years.

That’s a pretty big “phone”. It’s so big, in fact, that we had to coin a new term to describe it: the ...

It seems Android smartphone superstar Samsung won’t be happy until it offers a Galaxy device at every possible screen size and price point. That’s a trend we’ve been commenting on for a while, but we’re not talking about brand dilution or new product categories today. The Galaxy product line seems in no danger of foundering under the weight of its wide selection, and the latest products out of Seoul aren’t exactly blazing a new trail in form factor. They’re ...

The Pocketnow Weekly Podcast, Episode 038
