Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 leak reveals key features and strange gesture controls


The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 will have some cool gesture tracking controls to activate various functions along with its rotating bezels.

Sources informed Gizmodo about the gesture controls and told him that Samsung has yet to decide on the name of the Galaxy Watch 3. That could suggest that Samsung may be looking for a new brand to separate its next smart watch from the likes of Samsung. Galaxy Watch Active 2.

Gesture controls seem a little strange. The first will see Galaxy Watch 3 users raise their hands to activate Bixby, which could be an easier way to activate Samsung’s virtual assistant than to bark “hey Bixby” at your smartwatch as if it were an accessory from a movie. Science fiction.

Then there is the dumb call gesture, which involves making a fist and waving it up and down. Depending on where you live, this could create some embarrassing situations for Galaxy Watch 3 users.
