How about a watch that makes and receives calls and you just need to hold your wrist up to the mouth!

Call it the next big thing, Samsung is reportedly developing a smart watch that would work as a smart phone itself. The watch phone is said to launch in June or July.

According to Wall Street Journal, the South Korean manufacturer is in talks with various telecommunications carriers to turn its smart watch into a phone.

The watch-phone will reportedly run on Samsung's own Tizen smartwatch operating system.

Samsung has launched Galaxy Gear device that did not receive an expected response.

 

But the second-generation Gear 2 device is lighter, thinner and more powerful, the report added.
