Samsung Gear 2: Galaxy out Tizen In with Neo

Samsung Gear 2 has just been announced kicking out the Galaxy - Android and comes with Samsung's very own Tizen. Samsung does promise that it will be compatible with their "more than dozen" Galaxy smartphones.


The New Gear 2 is said to be thinner and lighter (68g) sporting the same 1.63 inch AMOLED Display powered by 1GHz (from 800Mhz) Dual-Core Processor complimented with 512MB RAM and 4GB Internal Storage. Packs that 2MP HD Camera and brings in improved health sensors and infrared blaster.

The device also comes in a Neo Variant to say a tad cheaper model with lesser chrome and no camera but much lighter at 55g.

Oh on the battery side it packs a 300mAh (smaller than the original) which promises to be more energy efficient and Samsung claims to run about 2-3 days.

On the flip side, the wearable is now IP67 certification for resistance to water and dust great for those adventure junkies...

The New Samsung Gear 2 comes in Charcoal Black, Gold Brown and Wild Orange while the NEO variant has Mocha Grey. Global release date is said to be in April but no pricing as of now.
