Samsung Galaxy Gear does not know the expected commercial success. However, despite its setbacks in the market, developers are interested in the case to give him his first Custom ROM.
The Galaxy Gear is she the biggest flop of Samsung? It is likely to believe the figures advanced by Korea Business . According to the newspaper, which website to industry sources, less than 50,000 units connected Samsung shows (in monthly cumulative sales) have been sold since its launch on September 25, bringing the number of copies sold daily to 800 or 900 . However, the site does not specify if it is the only sales in Korea or if these figures are related to passed on all international markets terminals. The title also refers to the sale of the Galaxy Round, curved screen smartphone from the Korean manufacturer. It would have sold only 100 copies per day since its launch in Korea on October 10. In cumulative monthly sales, the smartphone is still far from the 10,000 units sold.
It should be moderate these figures for several reasons. First, since the newspaper quoted industry sources, rarely credible. These can be in many cases critics companies to comment. Then, for the prototype character assume that these two terminals. Galaxy Gear is a first draft of Sammy in the field of watches and connected the Galaxy Round, in addition to being available only within the Korean border, was not designed as a product intended to flood the markets .
Samsung apparently did not appreciate the allegation Korea Business . The manufacturer has issued a denial in which he claims that its product was “ became the best-selling shows connected with 800,000 units sold in two months. ” No word on sales of the Galaxy Round however.
The Galaxy Gear suffers some compatibility problems, especially with smartphones other than Samsung. This aspect tends to put off potential buyers.
Anyway, even if sales of the watch are apparently low, this does not prevent developers to focus on the product. In fact, the Galaxy Gear can now enjoy his first Custom ROM. Despite the latest update which took the watch, its features are still quite limited. As a reminder, this update allows the watch to show notifications from any application.
A developer at XDA has developed a ROM based on the MK7 ROM. Entitled “null”, this new ROM provides a number of features like the ability to install a launcher. As such, Nova Launcher comes default ROM. The new Custom ROM can also go to the web via Bluetooth, using the connection from your smartphone. Unfortunately, however Gear is somewhat limited and can not do much because of the constraints imposed by the hardware.
