Samsung Galaxy Gear Photos Leak Showing Off Smartwatch Design

New pictures of the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch surfaced this week.

The photos show a prototype of the device that was obtained by VentureBeat. The site was able to spend some time with this test model and released a few snapshots showing off its design. VentureBeat also released a picture of the promo video that was shown by Samsung.

The Galaxy Gear is a dark gray and black color and comes with build-in speakers in the strap. The company is expected to launch the device in even more color options. It also comes with a 4-megapixel camera which is used to record health data and to take pictures.

VentureBeat reports that the smartwatch will have 10+ hours battery life and will connect to a smartphone with Bluetooth and NFC.

Screenshots of the Galaxy Gear Manager app hit the web last week and were released by @evleaks, who is a fairly reliable source for information on new products.

The picture displays the option of connecting the new watch using NFC (near-field-communications) to another device. The model number also can be seen as it appears in the top of one of the shots as SM-V700.

The device will be able to connect to smartphones by running the Gear Manager app using NFC and Bluetooth with the option to set it for Manual connection. The other screenshot lists settings and apps for the smartwatch, which allow users to customize how their device runs.

These options include Clocks, My Apps, Samsung Apps, Find My Watch, Settings and Help. Samsung has not confirmed whether these screenshots are legitimate, however, they appear to be taken from a device made by the company.
