Samsung Gear S launch delayed in the UK

Samsung’s Gear S is the most feature-packed smartwatch out there today, thanks to its ability to work independently of a smartphone with inbuilt Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity. However, it looks like those in the UK who were looking forward to strapping the Gear S on their wrist this month will have to wait a bit longer – apparently, Samsung has delayed the launch of the Gear S in the country to the second week of November. No reason has been specified for the delay, but it’s likely the Korean manufacturer is finding it hard to produce enough units of its latest smartwatch.

Pre-orders for the Gear S went live in the UK more than a month ago, which will likely make the wait a less pleasing one for those who have already ordered one for themselves. Read our hands-on experience with the watch here, and let us know if you’re looking forward to buying the Gear S.

Report: Samsung Galaxy A series devices launching next month

For devices that have been leaked so extensively in the last few weeks, it’s been surprising that Samsung hasn’t made the Galaxy A lineup – which consists of the Galaxy A3, A5, and A7 – official already. Our initial information that said the devices would go live in the third quarter didn’t turn out to be true; we were later told that the Galaxy A7 would launch in November, and now a report from the Korea IT Times is reaffirming that all three devices would be announced early next month, at least in China.

According to the report, Samsung will be taking aim at the market Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi has captured in the country with low-priced, high-specced devices. The price range of the three devices is mentioned as being somewhere between $350 and $500, something we already revealed earlier this month. Those are not exactly prices that will be cause for Xiaomi to become worried, but the lure of better than average specs and a somewhat premium feel could help Samsung steal enough consumers away from the competition.
