After teasing the new Gear S2 smartwatch during its Galaxy Note 5 unveiling earlier this month, Samsung has confirmed all the juicy details we’ve been waiting for.

The new wearable will be available in two flavors — the Gear S2 and Gear S2 classic — both of which have round faces and are aimed at consumers who “prefer more timeless watch design.” But will the devices be good enough to trip up the Apple Watch?

Google’s smartwatch platform, Android Wear, has officially gained support for iPhones. The Android Wear for iOS app is currently rolling out and anyone with an iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus can start using the Android Wear app at last. Just make sure you’re running iOS 8.2 or later.

The move comes somewhat randomly but makes total strategic sense for Google.

LG’s new Nexus 5 will go on sale before the end of September, according to a new report. The device will be one of the first smartphones on the market powered by Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and it’s thought to be one of two Nexus handsets launching this fall.

A number of Sony press images for the upcoming Xperia Z5 have leaked out ahead of the handset’s official unveiling at IFA next week. The shots confirm the device will have a 23-megapixel camera with a six-element lens, and a water-resistant design just like its predecessors.

Huawei’s first Android Wear device is now available to pre-order from Amazon. The Huawei Watch is one of the prettiest smartwatches we’ve seen so far, with a premium, all-metal design and round face — but it comes at a price.
