One of Samsung’s designers has revealed the firm’s new smartwatch on Instagram. 

Dennis Miloseski, the studio head of Samsung Design America, posted the image to his personal account, saying he was ‘Giving the new Samsung Gear S2 a test drive.’ 

Until now, the firm has only revealed glimpses of part of the watch. 

Rumours have been circulating that Samsung will launch a new round-faced smartwatch code named Orbis. 

It was originally thought to be called Gear A and boast on-board GPS, giving it an edge over the Apple Watch. 

This would allow the device to track a wearer’s location without the need for a phone and load maps quickly. 

Dennis Miloseski, the studio head of Samsung Design America, posted the image to his personal account, saying he was ‘Giving the new Samsung Gear S2 a test drive.’ 

The watch is expected to launch at the IFA trade show in Berlin next month. 

The device will have a Samsung Exynos dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 4GB of storage, 768MB of RAM and a 250mAH battery, SamMobile reported. 

Leaked details of the Gear A’s internal specifications also suggest the gadget will be packed with sensors, including a a barometer, heart rate sensor, Wi-Fi chip and GPS, which would reduce the time it takes for maps to load on the watch. 

The Gear A will run a customised version of Samsung’s Tizen operating system, not Android Wear which is used for other wearable devices. This could mean the watch may only work with Samsung smartphones, Mashable reported.
