The Samsung Gear S3, its upcoming third-generation smart watch, has been rumored to launch this September. However, according to a report from Digital Spy, it is possible that the device will be released a month earlier, during an event in New York. This event is currently scheduled to take place on Aug. 2.

According to the report, Samsung has yet to confirm if the information is true and if the leaked images are real. However, if they are then it is speculated that Samsung may be unveiling the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 or a new Edge phone during the event. During this time the Gear S3 may also be unveiled to the public.

If this proves true then the Samsung Gear S3 may be revealed in the first week of August and subsequently be rolled out to retailers over the next few weeks, with a nationwide launch coming in September as Samsung holds another event to release the new Galaxy smart phones and accompanying devices.

Sam Mobile, on the other hand, hints that the Gear S3 will be a massive improvement from the device's predecessor while still maintaining some design philosophies such as the rotating bezel and a circular display. This is based on the rumor that the current codename for the S3 is "Solis," the Spanish word for "sun."

According to the report, the Gear S3 will be running on Tizen and will have an updated user interface. It is also revealed that there will be several different models coming out, based on the listed model numbers, indicating there will be a luxury version coming out as well.

Unfortunately, the exact specs and build of the Gear S3 are still unknown at this point, although there have been leaks of what the watch might look like. Samsung has yet to release an official image or teaser for the Gear S3.
