After its launch last year with Google’s Android software, Samsung’s first smartwatch is going Tizen.
Samsung announced the software availability on its press site.
“By updating the Galaxy Gear to Tizen OS, users will have access to more apps, about 140 apps worldwide available for Tizen OS – nearly twice what is currently available on the Galaxy Gear. The updated Galaxy Gear will also receive the robust music enhancements found on the Gear 2. Owners will be able to store music on the Galaxy Gear and play back directly from the Gear through Bluetooth headphones, without the need to have a Galaxy phone on hand. “
This move brings the original Galaxy Gear on par with the newer Gear 2 smartwatch.
