(Asian News International Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) London, Mar 23 (ANI): Internet search giant Google's Android team is reportedly working on a smart watch that would compete with Apple's iWatch.

The reported Google device is separate from the Samsung smartwatch, which the Korean firm this week confirmed that it is working on.

According to the Telegraph, the leak would, however, seem to be confirmed by the fact that last year Google had a patent application approved for a "smart watch" with dual-screen "flip-up display", and a camera.
