Samsung Galaxy Gear support comes to Galaxy S4, S3, Note 2 and more

The Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch launched with support for only the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, giving other Galaxy or Android owners no reason to use the accessory unless they chose to upgrade to the company's newest phablet. This is about to change, as the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean software update, which has been rolling out will extend this compatibility to the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note II.

Later this month, even more members of the Samsung family will receive compatibility with the smartwatch, including the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8, Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, and Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom. Obviously this is not something that will take place overnight as these update processes generally tend to take months to complete. Luckily this means that Galaxy owners could consider finding the Galaxy Gear smartwatch in their Christmas stockings this year as the new year should allow you to flaunt your brand your Galaxy Gear alongside your own Samsung device.
