Samsung's smartwatch
And here's the long-awaited Gear smartwatch.
Galaxy Gear
It comes in a pleasant range of colours.

But that's not all -- there's a new Note 10.1 in the mix as well.
The family of Galaxy hardware
Three new products in all, a rather exciting lineup.
Designing the Note 3
People want bigger screens, Samsung says.
Note 3 colors
The Note 3 comes in three colours: black, white, and pink.
Leather-effect back
Here's a close-up of the pink version.
Samsung still has a lot of love for supersize smartphones.
New flip covers
There are new flip covers, in a range of colours.
Designing the S Pen
The Note 3 comes with loads of new software features.
Air Command with S Pen
This is the Air Command feature, which selects tools from a wheel.
Air Command in action
Air Command is supposed to make multitasking quicker, but any new software runs the risk of confusing customers.
Action Memo
Action Memo automatically determines what you want to do with your S Pen scribbles -- in this case, adding a contact.
S Finder
Samsung's a big fan of the "S" prefix, as you've probably gathered by now.
S Note
The revamped S Note stores your notes in the cloud, with services like Evernote. Nifty.
New S Note app
More on the refreshed note-taking abilities.
Multitasking features
This very cool app lets you draw a square on screen, which becomes one of a variety of tools -- in this case, a calculator.
Chat side by side
You can now run the same app in two windows, which could come in handy. Here it's being done in the ChatOn chatting app.
My Magazine
My Magazine is like Flipboard or HTC's Blinkfeed, tiling relevant posts and a news feed in an attractive interface for you to scroll through.
Multivision
You can chain Note 3 phones together to create a bigger display.
Galaxy Gear
Multiple colours for the Gear will probably go down a treat.
Notifications on Galaxy Gear
Gear notifications will automatically pop up on your Note 3 phone.
Answer calls
Answer calls, and speak into the Gear, James Bond-style.
Take calls on the Gear
You can make calls as well as accept them.
S Voice on Gear
The Gear has S Voice, which is voice recognition software.
Snap photos with Gear
There's a camera on the Gear, placed in the side of the strap.
Gear apps
A host of apps are ready for the Gear's debut.
Pedometer in Gear
It has a built-in pedometer, for fitness freaks.
Gear battery life
It will, Samsung says, survive for more than 25 hours away from its charging cable.
The three new products are designed to work together.
Note 3 video specs
The Note 3 has a chunky new battery in it.
