Six months ago, Samsung unveiled its first Android smart watch. Galaxy Gear, touted as a complement to smarfona Note 3 has not been taken too enthusiastically.
In October wrote that most of the journalists, technological, who had the opportunity to test it, found the product for underdeveloped. Though, of course, was not short of very positive feedback.
the eve of the start-up in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress Koreans officially presented two successors of his watch. In addition to the new hardware specification feature developed by Samsung operating system Tizen . Samsung no longer was signed by the Galaxy brand watches.
Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo: what’s the difference?
Fig. Samsung
are almost identical – maybe bigger differences will be seen in the software. Both watches have a display with a diagonal of 1.63 inch (Super AMOLED) 320×320 pixels (as in the previous version). Inside you will find a 1Ghz dual-core processor (the first model had a single-core processor 800Mhz), 512MB RAM, 4GB storage, Bluetooth, infrared , accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, battery with a capacity of 300mAh. What is new is pulse sensor.
Model Gear 2 is equipped with a camera with a resolution of two megapixels (it can shoot 1920×1080 pixels and record video with a resolution of 720p, 30fps), Ger 2 Neo is devoid of the camera.
What’s quite surprising watches are not controlled Samsung Android but Tizen system. According to the website FirstPost new system is much more energy efficient. Perhaps Koreans want to prove that not all mobile devices must be controlled Android.
Portal SlashGear lists the functions of watches known from previous versions of the device: the system alerts about upcoming news, music player, calendar, weather information, stopwatch, ChatON instant messaging, voice control functions S Voice.Gear 2, unlike its predecessor, equipped with infrared module – it’s not hard to guess that they can be used to control the TV. The watch is also a heart rate monitor – the device will probably be equipped with applications for people practicing sports.
is better, but is it enough?
At first glance, the new SmartWatch Koreans seem more mature product. Worked on their appearance – the camera and the antenna is no longer located in the bar (which according to many it looked weird), also introduced more color versions. Model Gear 2 will be available in Charcoal Black, Gold Brown and Wild Orange. Neo 2 will not be available in golden color and Mocha Grey.
difficult to evaluate new watches Samsung now when the producer gave the press only their specification. Let’s hope not very good press first version of the watch does not translate into distrust Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo.
