Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Review: Specs, Feature & Price of the Improved Gear Smartwatch, a New 'Tizen' OS, and a Powerful Battery that's 3X Better
The Gear 2 looks better and performs better than its predecessor, and Samsung surely fixed the battery problem.
Compared to the previous one, Gear 2 has three times the previous battery life, a new heart rate monitor and an IR blaster, plus the improved design.
Also, the new Gear runs on Tizen instead of the previous Android, and has a number of additional native apps with better notifications.
However, the Gear 2 has very few apps and some software features that seem rather superficial.
Gear 2 is designed with a brushed metal, while the strap is still similar to the previous plastic material, except the microphone isn't placed on the same area, and the camera is now up in the main watch housing. This means the plastic strap is bare, and it can be replaced with other straps of different colors.
It has a 1.63 inch super AMOLED display, and comes with a dual-core 1GHz chip, a 512MB RAM, and a smaller 300mAh battery. The hardware remains the same as the previous Gear, but with a more refined feel to it. It comes with a 2 megapixel camera, a 720p video shooting, and an integrated music player.
The Gear 2 is also waterproof up to one meter for 30 minutes, and has a complete dust protection.
The rest of the features remain unchanged, including the Bluetooth 4.0, 4GB storage, microphone, an accelerometer, and a slightly smaller and sturdier charger.
Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch started with a $300 price.
