Earlier this year at Google I/O, reports suggested that Asus was working
on its own Android Wear smartwatch , to be launched in September
with a lower price point than existing options. Today, Asus posted a
teaser on Twitter revealing that it will indeed be introducing
something new at IFA in Berlin on Sept. 3, and the graphic suggests
it will indeed be a smartwatch.
The Asus device will be somewhere between $99 and $149,
according to our source, and will boast AMOLED display tech and
otherwise be close hardware-wise to the existing LG G Watch and
Samsung Gear Live devices, both of which are also powered by
Android Wear.
The launch will be part of a busy season of new hardware coming
this fall, and early September is shaping up to be especially crazy.
Motorola plans to launch a slew of new hardware on September 4 ,
and of course Apple’s new iPhone will debut September 6, which
will probably suck most of the air out of the room for anyone else
looking to launch new gear around that time.
Asus will also be facing off against the Motorola Moto 360, the
round-faced Android Wear smartwatch announced previously but
looks ready to actually hit consumer wrists beginning in early
September.
