New from Samsung were expected. The company did not provide anything revolutionary (like clock-class devices are not new companions). But after all this is the format of IFA – a demonstration that will be available in the very near future (usually talking about 1-2 months). Therefore, in this exhibition new items should be considered from this point of view. So, in anticipation of the holiday season, and a corresponding increase in interest in buying different gadgets will be another reason to look to the products of the market leader. Although, in my opinion, Galaxy Gear turned very controversial.
