Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch 3 could answering calls a lot easier XDA reports that Samsung’s newly released Galaxy Watch 3 Plugin app references support for hand gestures, most notably for answering calls. If your watch starts ringing, you just have to clench and unclench your fist to pick up. You can shake your hand to ignore a call, too.
The future wristwear will also add support for Apple Watch-like fall detection. If the Galaxy Watch 3 detects a tumble, it’ll ring for 60 seconds to get a response. If you don’t answer, it’ll text your location and a five-second audio recording to emergency contacts. You can also tell the watch to make an emergency call after that minute-long wait, although that’s optional.
Samsung is expected to unveil the new watch when Unpacked takes place online August 5th. It’s poised to be a subtle evolution of the existing Galaxy Watch with slightly smaller 41mm and 45mm case sizes and Watch Active 2 features like ECG and blood pressure monitoring.
