We already know that Samsung is likely to pull the covers off of a round smartwatch - purportedly named the Samsung Orbis - at MWC at the beginning of March, and we're now getting word that wireless charging will be part of the package.
That claim comes from SamMobile who claim its sources have confirmed "the Orbis should feature wireless charging out of the box".
That'd be a similar setup to the Android Wear running, round-faced rival, Moto 360 - which has a handy charging dock the watch simply sits in when you're not wearing it. It'd be a nice change from the usual Samsung Gear smartwatch setup of a fiddly, extra, charging clip - one that is different for every model.
Samsung's first round smartwatch is all set to launch at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona but, unlike the circular duo of the Moto 360 and LG G Watch R, it will shun Android Wear in favour of the company's own Tizen software.
However, this is Samsung don't forget - so we wouldn't be surprised to see the Orbis launch alongside another smartwatch. The Korean tech giant is nothing if not prolific when it comes to product launches.
