However, many technology firms began unveiling their new devices ahead of the six-day event, as has been the case in the last few years. Samsung is one of the top names at this year's IFA. Though there wasn't a lot expected from the company this time, considering that the flagship Galaxy Note 8 was unveiled only last week, it never ceases to surprise its fans with a wide range of product portfolios. Samsung announced two new wearables - the Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro and Samsung Gear Sport - and also unveiled the Samsung IconX 2018 wireless headphones, which come with some major upgrades over its predecessor. The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro will be available for pre-order on August 31 for $199 (₹12,700 approximately) in the US, and sales will begin on September 15. There is no word on the availability of the Samsung Gear Sport and IconX. Also read click here.
