It was one of the weak points of the digital watch Samsung, denounced by many observers since its launch in early September, the Galaxy Gear was only compatible with two models of the brand, the new smartphone Galaxy Note 3 and the new Galaxy Tab 10.1 (version 2014). And even if the Korean manufacturer announced that other models, the latest Galaxy S4 would also be compatible, the list of models for use with the Galaxy Gear consumers and observers left unsatisfied.

Samsung

so just lift the veil and confirmed on its official blog, that during the update of the Android operating system, many older models of the brand will also be used with the Galaxy Gear . In total, not counting the first two compatible devices, eight new models that can be used with the clock connected from the Korean manufacturer.

It should be connected as expected with the Galaxy S4 but its predecessor the S3, as well as the Galaxy Note 2. Eventually, explains on his blog Samsung, are five models with S4 Galaxy mini should be compatible.


Android 4.3 available first in Germany

Users of these models, however, must be a little patient. The update to Android 4.3 update is only beginning to be deployed in Europe and first in the German and Italian markets. Then it will be made available in other markets of the old continent.

And for many consumers, the opportunity to update their smartphone will also depend on the goodwill of their telephone operator, since it is the latter who gave them their device.


Samsung had sold 40 million Galaxy S4 since April

According to the head of Samsung’s mobile division, JK Shin, quoted by inews24 site, some 40 million smartphones S4 have been sold worldwide since its release in April 2013.
These figures include all versions of the smartphone, which has four in total:. Mini (with 4.3 inches), Active (which is water resistant) and Zoom (with a photo sensor to zoom)
However, according to JK Shin, the Galaxy Round, first curved screen smartphone launched on October 10, does not appear to meet strong demand for the moment.
