The new Samsung ear S2 is already hitting the store shelves across the US and coming soon in the UK. This first round smartwatch comes available at the regular Gear S2 and the Gear S2 classic versions.
According to Android Headlines, the new Samsung Gear S2 is a kind of a sleek watch that arrives in assorted colors and styles, and appears actually unique among smartwatches. What's more, it really looks like a typical sporty watch rather than just being a gadget. It also has immense difference compared to some of smartwatches from Samsung.
Functionally, the Samsung Gear S2 is not far different than something as the Apple Watch or Moto 360. In that opinion, Samsung's smartwatch has similar trappings of the devices released over the past few years, Techno buffalo wrote.
However, it makes an intensive effort to alter the user's interaction with a smartwatch, creating it less of a task to press, swipe and prod. In its place, users are allowed to bounce around the Tizen OS via the rotating bezel that will provide a feeling that is so natural.
A report from Digital trends says that the new Samsung Gear S2 is available in two versions, the regular Gear S2 and the Gear S2 classic. The regular Gear S2 comes in 42.3 x 49.8 x 11.4mm weighing a mere 47 grams. On the other hand, the Gear S2 Classic is marginally smaller for measuring 39.9 x 43.6 x 11.4mm and weighing 42 grams.
The regular Gear S2 models that arrive without 3G connectivity is packed with 250mAh batteries that can last 2-3 days, as claimed by the company. The 3G model is equipped with a slightly bigger 300mAh battery that was stated to last 2 days. Both can be charged wirelessly through a charging dock.
As for the Samsung Gear S2 classic, Wareable pointed out that it sports traditional watch lugs which implies that it is well-suited with any strap which has a standard 20mm pin. Nevertheless, the Gear S2 is featuring branded connectors and that could cause difficulty to find compatible bands.
For pricing concern, the regular Samsug Gear S2 can be purchased at $299.99 (£249, around AU$428) that is cheaper compared to the Apple Watch. As for the Gear S2 Classic,it bears a price tag that starts at $349.99 (£299, around AU$499), which has the same price with the Apple Watch's lowest offering.
