Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch could very well signal what the Guardian dubbed as the tech world’s “war for the wrist,” signaling the official arrival of the wearable gadget era. Samsung is expected to debut the wearable device on September 4, a few days before the IFA consumer electronics event in Berlin.

Based on leak designs of the upcoming wearable gadget, which was contained in a patent filed by Samsung, the Galaxy Gear looks very futuristic according to CNET. It shows that the watch would look like a segmented band that might even be metal.

SamMobile, a blog focused on all things Samsung, said that the specs of the smartwatch include a 1.67 inches display and it will have a 320x320 pixel resolution. It may also have a 2MP camera. Samsung Galaxy Gear will also be AMOLED-based and based on the leaked design and blueprint from the patent, it will have a speaker and mic at the foot of the screen.

A key feature of the device would be bread and butter functions like the ability of the watch to connect to handsets and receive alerts when texts, emails, phone calls or social media updates and the like arrive. CNET says that the goal of Samsung Galaxy Gear would be to act as a second screen for one’s smartphone.

CNET references a typical Android handset and noted that the Samsung Galaxy Gear should have a power key, a Micro-USB port, and capacitive buttons for Back and Menu near the lower lip of the display.

Other unconfirmed specs of the smarwatch are a dual-core Samsung Exynos processor and 1GB of RAM. If the predicted specs for the wrist-sized gadget ends up to be true, it will hover in midrange-Android-phone territory.

In terms of apps that will be made available for the device, tech blog GigaOM is speculating that the apps for Galaxy Gear will not come form the Google Play market. Instead, it will probably come from Samsung’s own application marketplace.
