Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to launch with Gear Solo watch at IFA Conference 2014?

In the upcoming IFA Conference, which will be held Sept. 5-10 in Berlin, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Rumors of launching another device, however, have also began surfacing.

Samsung is said to be intending to publicly launch one of the most talked about gadgets in their company, the new Samsung Gear Solo. According to reports, this device will be pitted against the highly anticipated Apple iWatch.

One of the highlighted features of the Samsung Gear Solo smart watch is the gadget's own sim card slot. Many fans believe that this feature is behind the "solo" description attached to the device's name.

With its own sim card, the Samsung Gear Solo will be anticipated to be capable of making and receiving phone calls without any connection to any smart phone. In addition, the Gear Solo will be operating on 3G networks rather than the new, faster, and more convenient LTE networks.

The Samsung Gear Solo will also be running with Tizen, which have been used to fuel other smart watches made by the company.

This unique attribute will allow users to operate the product even without a compatible phone paired with it. If this rumors will be proven true, then the Samsung Gear Solo will definitely stand out as one of the most useful Gear Watches in the market at this point.

However, critics have predicted several probable issues that will arise in the use of the Samsung Gear Solo. One of these concerns is the battery consumption, which remains to be disputed by the gadget's makers.

Another possible issue for this device is the cellular signal. Some presume that the signal for the Samsung Gear Solo might waver or weaken when the user is traveling.
