Samsung has answered the question of how its S9110 watch phone might compete with LG’s upcoming GD910 in the UK, by deciding not to launch it at all. After revealing that the S9110 – which has a 1.76-inch glass touchscreen and measures just 11.98mm thick – would land in France later this month, Samsung confirmed that it had no plans to release it in the UK “for the foreseeable future”.
