Since long, there has been a rumors about Samsung currently working on circular display smartwatch. The smart wearable is likely to be called as Gear A or Samsung Orbis  and is expected to be unveiled in September along with the Galaxy Note 5.

Last month, Samsung has confirmed this news of making a circular display smartwatch by teasing a new Gear SDK. Samsung has now made the SDK available to be downloaded and hence we can get the glimpse of the Tizen UI which is the expected OS for the watch. Additionally, the SDK also gives the information for some of the features that the Orbis / Gear A is likely to come along with. This includes a rotary bezel similar to the Apple’s Digital Crown wherein by rotating the bezel users can zoom in and out the  images, adjust the volume and even navigate between screens.

The Samsung Gear A /  Orbis is likely to have a 1.65inch display with 360 x 360 pixel resolution, heart rate monitor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular connectivity and GPS. This smart wearable can also prove to be one of the most interesting devices from the Samsung camp. Take a look at what the UI has to offer:

Samsung Orbis round-dialed smartwatch, MVC launch likely

Samsung is about to launch their modified Gear products in the coming MWC expo. However , it has released various Galaxy brand smartwatches but none got the expected accolades.

Samsung is working hard in prepping its own smartwatch blockbuster with rumored name Orbis. It is said that Samsung started working on a new round piece since Apple announced its own iWatch last quarter.

The Orbis device will be more appealing and stylish compared to the current Samsung Galaxy Gears. It will sport a rotating ring on its top eradicating the pressing and navigating issue of smartwatch on their tiny displays. However, Orbis is expected to have a “crown-shaped power button” which will be reserved for rotating the bezels at the top. Apple’s iWatch already have this button for scrolling and zooming purpose. The power key will be utilized eventually for S Voice , for waking up the device, for launching stuff and so on.

We definitely can’t wait for the new leaks to come up, since Orbis device is the question of Samsung’s reputation in the smartwatch arena.
