Samsung is releasing Gear S2 smartwatch soon and reports said that it can support both Android and iOS handsets. Along with such capability are its interesting specs such as rotating bezel, high memory size, and apps like mobile payments. These capabilities will be supported by Tizen.
Samsung's spokesperson said in Digital Spy that the firm is trying to reveal its latest Tizen-powered wearable with a capability of supporting iOS devices. A consideration though is that Android devices must be run in Android 4.4 or higher, and have at least 1.5GB of RAM for the smartwatch to work. One thing is not for sure though if such capability will come out in IFA Conference this year together with the new smartwatch gear.
On the other hand, 9to5Mac mentioned some of the interesting specs of the upcoming Gear S2 smartwatch. The report said that the new gear will be round that will measure 1.2-inch with Super AMOLED display that will have a resolution of 360 x 360 (302ppi). The new wearable will also come with Sammy's in-house Exynos processors which will support 3G. More so, it has an IP68 certification which will support water-resistant capability.
Other specs include a storage of 4GB with 512GB RAM. Potential buyers need not to worry too with its battery since it will come with 250mAh. It will also include a rotating bezel for easier use. The new Gear S2 can be controlled through voice just like Apple Gears. Moreover, Yibada mentioned that the new Samsung Gear will have NFC built-in-chip to enable mobile payments. This will be one of the high-technological features that will enable accessibility and convenience for users when purchasing things.
The plan of Samsung company for a wearable that can be used on both Android and iOS devices might trigger competitors to develop more technological inventions. Nevertheless, potential buyers can look forward with such capability in the future.
