Samsung has announced three new smartwatch devices at MWC this year, including the successor to last year’s Galaxy Gear, the Gear 2, as well as a sleeker version called the Neo, and a fitness- and fashion-focused wristband device called the Samsung Gear Fit. The Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo both offer companion features for a user’s smartphone, which include the ability to receive… Read More

Samsung launched the Galaxy Gear smart watch back in September at IFA and today, the manufacturer is coming to MWC with its new Galaxy Gear 2 and a lighter version, the Galaxy Gear 2 Neo. Both the Gear 2 and the Gear 2 Neo are now running Samsung’s OS Tizen, instead of Android, and they are both one millimeter thinner than the original Gear. The 2.0 Megapixel camera is now located in the watch body instead of the strap, and Samsung added an IrLED sensor so users can control their TVs and set top boxes via the Samsung WatchON Remote application.
The new dual core processor is a little faster at 1 Ghz than the previous one (800 mhz). We hope that the power consumption has been optimized since the battery is a little smaller (300 mAh vs. 315 mAh) probably to fit in the slimmer body. The display and the memory capabilities remain the same: a 1.63” super AMOLED featuring a 320×320 resolution, 512 MB RAM and 4GB internal storage.

Back at IFA in 2013, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Gear. This was a smartwatch designed by Samsung that also ran on Google’s Android platform. Now according to the reports, Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy Gear 2 at MWC 2014, which is a little odd given that the Galaxy Gear is less than a year old. Then again the Galaxy Gear was designed to test the waters rather than debut as an actual commercial product, so perhaps Samsung isn’t too fussed about timelines. Given that the Galaxy Gear ran on Android, many have rightfully assumed that the Galaxy Gear 2 would be similar, especially since it does sport the Galaxy brand, but according to a report from USA Today, they claim that the Galaxy Gear 2 could instead run on Tizen.
According to the report, the Galaxy Gear 2 will run on a HTML5 version of Tizen, and apparently the reason why Samsung chose to use Tizen was because they wanted Tizen to start gaining some ground. Tizen, for those unfamiliar, is Samsung’s own smartphone operating system. The company has promised that we will soon be seeing Tizen devices in the near future so perhaps the Galaxy Gear 2 could help kick things off. However by switching to Tizen, Samsung would basically be abandoning the ecosystem that they have created with the original Android-based Galaxy Gear which probably does not help with developer confidence. Either way this is just a rumor for now, but check back with us during MWC 2014 for the details. In the meantime what do you guys think? Would Tizen be a better fit for the Galaxy Gear 2?
