Here’s what Samsung’s Galaxy Gear companion app looks like

Confirming prior information, the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch will use NFC and a Gear manager application to pair the watch with a phone and for configuration. It’s looking more and more like the Galaxy Gear will need a Samsung phone.

Let’s see, we know the hardware specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch and the expected battery life, so why not any info on the companion software?

The Gear smartwatch will use NFC to easily pair the wearable to a smartphone over Bluetooth. It appears the process will use the watch’s charger based on the screen capture. The Clocks setting likely points to different watch faces and possibly secondary time zones. And the “Find my watch” feature will be handy if you misplace your Galaxy Gear: Tap this and the watch will probably make a sound, provided it is in Bluetooth range of the smartphone.

There’s still an open question on whether the Galaxy Gear will work with non-Samsung handsets, but that’s why we’re going to the press event on September 4! We still thinking this will — at least initially — be exclusive to Samsung smartphones.

Samsung announces the Galaxy Golden, another dual-screen Android flip phone

Samsung is back with another new Android flip phone, the Galaxy Golden, with features designed to appeal to an older crowd. Just one week after announcing the dual-screen, quad-core Hennessy, Samsung is back with another Android flip phone, the Galaxy Golden. If Golden makes you think of your golden years, or even the Golden Girls, you’re right on the money.

The Galaxy Golden has some decent specs, but comes loaded with features designed to appeal to a more senior crowd.

Spec-wise, the Galaxy Golden is mostly a step up from the Hennessy. It features two distinct 3.7-inch AMOLED displays with 800 x 480 resolution. Each display is on either side of the top part of the phone. The bottom is home to a number pad and control pad, just like you’re used to seeing on feature phones.

The phone is powered by a dual-core 1.7GHz processor, with an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera, though in this case, I’m not sure which side is considered which. The Galaxy Golden also features LTE support, Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) comes loaded out of the box, and an 1820mAh battery should keep those screens going for a while.

Then there are a few features Samsung has added in hopes of marketing this phone to an older crowd. An “easy mode” modifies the software, pushing certain features to the front and making the phone simpler to use. A built-in pedometer links up with Samsung’s S Health app, and the phone has a business card recognition function. There’s even an FM radio, just like old times.

Is an Android flip phone revolution at hand? I doubt it. The Korean asking price is 799,700 won, or $715 USD, which is pretty steep. And aside from the high price tag, it is unlikely this phone will see a release outside of Korea.

Can tablets replace smartphones?

How big of a phone will consumers carry? We’ll soon find out as the 6.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Mega debuts on three carriers this month, offering a tablet-like experience with cellular voice capabilities.

Samsung isn’t waiting until September to debut all of its new products. On Monday the company announced the 6.3-inch Galaxy Mega will arrive before the end of August.

So what do you get with this tablet, besides the voice calling abilities?

The 6.3-inch display uses a 1280 x 720 Super Clear LCD screen with wide viewing angles. A 1.7 GHz dual-core CPU — just a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 — is paired with 1.5 GB of memory and the device runs Android 4.2.2. Samsung didn’t specify the internal storage capacity as that could vary by carrier. However, the Galaxy Mega does support up to 64 GB of expandable storage through a MicroSD card slot.

Samsung will also offer an S-View cover, similar to the Galaxy S 4′s, which shows a portion of the display for notifications, even when the cover is closed. The Galaxy Mega also has several Galaxy S 4 features, such as AirView and the option to run two apps at the same time on screen; a perfect use case for a larger device.

So if tablets are going to replace smartphones, the devices have to be as portable as their smaller cousins. But weighing 199 grams (7.01 ounces) and measuring 168 x 88 x 8mm (6.61 x 3.46 x 0.32 inches), the Mega will feel more like toting a tablet; not a smartphone. On the plus side, it has the potential to replace two devices by itself thanks to the big screen.
