Samsung’s circular display smartwatch will feature wireless charging

It almost seems that the Moto 360 is the defacto standard for how a smartwatch should be designed, and with that said it should be of no surprise that Samsung are looking to bring the wireless charging to their next smartwatch.

Already rumoured to be a round display, Samsung are looking to drop the standard micro-USB connector in favour of wireless charging. The smartwatch, which is suspected to be codenamed Orbis, will run Tizen, Samsung’s own operating software.
