Samsung is reportedly planning to launch its Google Glass competitor in September.

According to TechCrunch, the wearable device is an electronic headset that includes an ear piece and a display and it's powered by Samsung's homegrown Tizen OS, the same OS which powers Samsung's Gear products.

Tizen is a beneficial OS for wearable devices in terms of power consumption, as it allows users to spend more time on using the device than charging it.

Meanwhile, a Samsung employee passed along the info, saying the so-called "Gear Glass" will be ready for the annual IFA electronics show in Berlin this fall, the report added.
