Will Samsung's upcoming smartwatches sport round displays? Recent patents suggest so, an Android enthusiast site reported.
Android Central cited a MobileGeeks article on patents from the US
Patent and Trademark Office indicating a round display design for
Samsung's wearable tech.
"If Samsung's latest
patent filings are anything to go by, it looks like the manufacturer is
mulling smartwatches with rounded displays, much like Motorola's
upcoming Moto 360," Android Central said.
The site said the patents suggest a camera on the bracelet "that is
leveraged for a new gesture recognition system and a charging port at
the clasp in addition to the rounded displays."
However, it said it is not immediately clear on how the gesture recognition system will be implemented.
On the other hand, it said patents from last year also featured a gesture-driven navigation.
The patents cited by MobileGeeks include US Patent nos. 709,875; 709,874; and 709,873. —Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
