Samsung Galaxy S5 Accessory Rumored as a Complete Reboot

Published

The Samsung Galaxy S5 release won’t be a lonely one with multiple models rumored and a Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 on hand to usher in a new smart watch experience for 2014.

Samsung debuted the Galaxy Gear with the Galaxy Note 3 in late 2103, eventually delivering support to the Galaxy S4 and a handful of other devices, but poor battery life and notification settings that delivered too many notifications or not enough information hampered the launch of the feature-rich smartwatch.

Dennis Miloseski, head of studio for Samsung Design America already confirmed Samsung is working on a new wearable for the spring Galaxy S5 release in an interview with Recode, though he referred to the device as the next Galaxy S phone to arrive in the Spring, and not by name. Even though we expect a Galaxy Gear 2 to work with multiple Samsung smartphones, many consumers will likely see it as a Galaxy S5 accessory and carriers may even bundle the two together like the Note 3 and Galaxy Gear last year.

The first major Samsung Galaxy S5 accessory may be a redesigned Galaxy Gear 2.

Industry sources tell ZDNet Korea that the Galaxy Gear 2 will deliver a completely new experience when it arrives in March or April, presumably alongside the Galaxy S5.

The primary new feature is a flexible OLED display. The insiders did not share many details about the size or resolution of this flexible display, but it could play into their claims that the Galaxy Gear 2 will deliver a new design.

The Galaxy Gear features a bulky display area that some users found too large and not fashionable enough despite multiple color options and finishes. A flexible OLED display might pair up with flexible battery technology to let Samsung deliver a thinner more fashionable Galaxy Gear 2 with the Galaxy S5.

Samsung is also reportedly preparing a Galaxy Glass wearable that will be on par with Google Glass for a release this year, possibly alongside the rumored Galaxy Note 4.

While rumors once hyped a flexible Galaxy S5 display it does not appear that Samsung is ready to offer a flexible display large enough for a smartphone. The LG G Flex is launches in the U.S. this month with a flexible display, and it may be the only flexible smartphone available in the U.S. during the first half of the year unless Samsung pulls off a major surprise.

The latest Samsung Galaxy S5 rumors suggest Samsung is planning a 5.2 to 5.25-inch display and may offer multiple Galaxy S5 models. One of these models will reportedly offer a 2560 x 1440 resolution while the lower-end model will use a 1920 x 1080 resolution. We may see a 16MP camera on the back of the Galaxy S5 and Exynos processor options on the higher end models.

    Hopefully this Gear will live up to the hype, unlike the previous one which was a massive disappointment on many levels
