A new report has revealed that Samsung's upcoming circular display smartwatch will come equipped with wireless charging functionality, much like the Moto 360. This is not to say that the device won't require a cradle, but merely that it will be compatible with a wide range of wireless charging stations.
This smartwatch codenamed Orbis, could be running on Tizen rather than Android Wear which is one of the biggest concerns we have. Barring that, the wearable should match all our expectations and will take the Moto 360 and the LG G Watch R head-on.
Samsung's current range of chargers for its Gear smartwatches aren't all that great, so this will be a refreshing change with the Orbis. We're still waiting for confirmation on this report from Samsung and we hope to learn more as the days progress.
Wireless charging is almost a prerequisite on wearables given the convenience factor. We're hoping Samsung will go with the Qi standard so that third party manufacturers can build accessories for the device in the future.
