The following is the full text of the article: Product features in order to compete with Apple, Samsung pioneered a smart watch that was able to surf the internet, take photos and make phone calls, and set the price of the device named Galaxy Gear at $299 trillion. Samsung Mobile Business director Shen Zongjun at the company's headquarters, said the smart watch with a 1.63-inch display, built-in 1.9 million-megapixel camera, will be listed on September 25. The product can be used with tablets and smartphones that carry Google's (871.63,11.25,1.31%) Android operating system. Samsung unveiled Galaxy Gear at the German IFA consumer Electronics Show in Wednesday, hoping to compete with Apple and Sony (20.81,0.40,1.96%) for the market's share of wearable technology to cope with a slowing growth in the smartphone industry. US market research firm Strategy Analytics analysts expect preemptive companies to lock users on their platforms and boost equipment sales. The company expects Samsung Galaxy Gear shipments to 500,000 dollars this year. "Device manufacturers love smart watches because it's a personal device that is easily visible to consumers," he said. Neil Mawston, an analyst at Strategy Analytics, said in an e-mail, "If you see a friend wearing a cool smart watch on his wrist, you'll probably want one too." The Galaxy gear weighs 74 grams, is available in 6 colors, and has a slim built-in screen. The product will first be listed in 140 countries, and the US and Japan will be released in October. According to Samsung, Galaxy Gear has a fitness tracking function that can be used in conjunction with 70 applications. It has built-in 4GB storage space and 512MB memory, can be connected to the mobile phone through the wireless network, and thus make a call. Rival insiders said in February this year that Apple has also formed a dedicated team to develop smart watches. According to a document submitted on June 3, the company has even applied for iwatch registered trademarks in Japan. Sony has previously launched a smartwatch that can sync with Android handsets, and smartwatch 2 will be listed this month as a second screen for a new generation of Xperia Z1 smartphones. "We expect Samsung Galaxy GEar sales will be good, but the real trigger for the smart watch industry is probably apple. "Compared to the heavily fragmented Android community, Apple should be able to integrate iwatch with the iOS ecosystem more closely," Mouston said. "Qualcomm (67.28,0.57,0.85%), the world's largest handset chip maker, announced in Wednesday that it would also start selling a smart watch called Toq. Sales of wearable consumer electronics, including Galaxy Gear and Google Eyewear, will grow from 15 million this year to 70 million in 2017, according to Jupiter Research, a market-study firm. The watch industry has sold more than 60 billion dollars this year. Samsung also unveiled a 5.7-inch Galaxy Note3 Giant-screen handset that not only improved the software, but provided more accessories. The new phone also supports the 3G and 4G LTE network, with a 13 million-megapixel camera that can run two applications simultaneously on the screen with a stylus. Galaxy Note3 will be available on September 25 and the Galaxy Gear will be on sale on the same day. Although Samsung is also the world's largest television and chip maker, its operating profit is 70% from Mobile, so the company is trying to reduce its reliance on the business. The high-end handset market is already saturated, and as emerging market consumers increasingly value cheap models, the overall price of the market is falling. "We expect Galaxy Note3 to improve over previous generations," Carolina Milanes, a Gartner analyst, said Carolina Milanesi, "but don't expect Galaxy Note3 to change Samsung's future profits and margins." "Samsung said in March this year that it would launch 3 high-end smartphones, including the Galaxy S4, which was released in April, and the Galaxy Note3, which has just been unveiled, and a Tizen system. An invitation from Apple yesterday showed the company would hold a conference on September 10. Apple is expected to launch a new generation of iphone smartphones, people familiar with the matter said. (Ding Macro)
