IFA 2013 is less than a week away, so it's no surprise that talk of the now-confirmed Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch is heating up.
A new report from AmongTech, quoting sources at the Samsung Warehouse in Texas, brings us a load of new specs we might be seeing in a few days.
To start off, the 2.5-inch OLED display we'd heard about is reiterated here, apparently with a 320x320 resolution.
The watch will reportedly pack 10 hours of battery life, a dual core 1.5GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.
Android Jelly Bean is said to be on board, although the exact version is not specified and we'd imagine it'll be fairly stripped-back, while an accelerometer and Bluetooth 4.0 are also set to feature.
One big thing that differs on these specs is the camera, which is now said to be 4 megapixels and capable of 720p capture - much better than the 2MP affair we've been hearing about.
Lee Young-hee, executive vice president of Samsung's mobile business, recently confirmed that Samsung will be unveiling the Galaxy Gear on September 4 at its Unpacked event in Berlin.
Note the date
We're also hearing that Samsung may be releasing the Galaxy Note 3 in Taiwan on September 27, three weeks after the big reveal.
This isn't hugely surprising as Samsung tends to release its devices soon after their announcement. Pre-orders are supposedly set to begin on September 16.
Young-hee also confirmed that we'll see the Note 3 on September 4. The device will touch down with a 5.9-inch OLED display, as revealed by Samsung's head of mobile, J.K. Shin.
