Samsung will announce a new wearable on Wednesday

-

Samsung took to Twitter on Monday to tease an event it’s hosting in Berlin on Wednesday, August 30. While we don’t know exactly what the firm is planning to showcase, it did reveal that it’s some form of wearable, leading us to believe it’s the upcoming Gear Sport (SM-R600).

Rumored to be aimed at fitness fanatics, the Gear Sport is expected to ship with a host of precise health-monitoring features, including a dedicated swimming and rowing mode, in addition to a slew of the latest internals, like a dual-core Exynos processor and at least 1GB of RAM.

According to the unit’s certification documentation, the Gear Sport will be the firm’s first wearable to ship running its in-house Tizen 3.0 operating system out of the box. It also looks like it will support both standard Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Wi-Fi Direct for expedited data transfer.

We’ll be reporting live from the venue in Berlin, so be sure to check back on Wednesday to find out exactly what Samsung’s been working on. If you want to kill some time between now and then, why not check out our hands-on coverage of the recently-announced Galaxy Note 8?

Samsung has announced that Galaxy S10 sales are outperforming Galaxy S9 and S9+ sales by 80 percent in Brazil a month after launch. The Galaxy S10 lineup had received twice as many pre-orders as the Galaxy S9 and S9+ in the country , and it looks like things got even better once the devices went on sale. Samsung isn't breaking down numbers by device, however, so we don't know which of the three Galaxy S10s is doing the best. Of course, one can assume it's the Galaxy S10+ leading the charge, but there's no way to say for certain. One can hope the Galaxy S10e is also showing good sales performance, as it turned out to be a surprisingly good compact flagship that trumps the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S9.
