Samsung Gear S2 is a chic watch under Tizen

The Gear S2 from Samsung is a chic watch under Tizen. Samsung has finally given the latest details and specifications regarding its new smartwatch. There have been many leaks in the past two weeks; leaving little room for mystery.

The Gear S2 is therefore round as expected. If the leaks indicated that it would have a 1.65 inch 360 x 360 screen, it turns out that the screen has a good resolution but ultimately measures only 1.2 inches in diameter. Small disappointment, the smartwatch is less thin than expected since it is 11.4 mm thick. So it's just a little thicker than Huawei's. By the way, it should be noted that the Gear S2 is not called the Galaxy Gear S2 … probably to indicate that it works under Tizen instead of operating under Android Wear.

On operation, little information, Samsung is not the champion of detailed explanation. It's a safe bet that the dial can turn and allow you to navigate the watch. Inside the smartwatch: a dual-core processor clocked at 1 GHz and an NFC chip for contactless payments.

In short, this launch of the Gear S2 does not surprise many people. For me, the real surprise is that Samsung did not wait for the IFA. The brand will offer several versions of its new smart health watch. A 3G version with a SIM will allow you to make phone calls from your wrist. For the moment, no price has been announced. This may be what the brand will reveal on the IFA next week.
