Introducing The Step Into The Future...
So Samsung has gone into a full swing by releasing a ton of new products the Note III (Exclusive Review Coming Up Right After This) and The Gear being the main highlights.
This device was leaked well before it was released on several websites, that when it did finally released people were not that awed when they saw it, but lets review it anyway.
The Gear was released at IFA this year in Berlin in Samsung's aptly named "Unpacked" event.
Internal Specs:
The watch comes packed with Samsung's traditional Exynos 800 MHz Single Chip cause come on, at the end how much computing are we going to do on this after all. And the RAM on board this watch amounts upto 512 MB
Display:
The screen is a 1.62 inch 320x320 Super AMOLED screen. The fact That it has an AMOLED display is a critical point that has to be taken into consideration because this is a watch at the end of the day and AMOLED displays are the best at conserving battery especially due o the fact that they never lit up pixels if the color black is being displayed. This is a crucial thing done right by Samsung.The pixel density is not all that bad at 277 ppi.
Camera And Connectivity:
It also features a camera on its strap away from the body which sports a 1.9 mega-pixel sensor which surprisingly has really good auto-focus and also has 720p video shooting capability.Battery:
The battery is a standard Li-ion battery with a capacity of 315 mAh. Like I said earlier it doesn't need a really high capacity battery because it is ultimately needs to power-up a Super AMOLED screen after all.Durability And Weight:
The Gear weighs in at just about 73.8g which is okay for a decent sized watch.An interesting point to be noted is the fact that it is IP-55 certified which tells us that they have paid a good deal of attention to the durability side of the watch.
It can also partly "survive" underwater submerging but only up to 1 atm pressure which means tha it can tolerate sprinkling of water on it, splashes, sweat, rainwater etc. However it cannot be worn during swimming or other such aquatic activities.
Colors And Price:
It is available in several interesting colors such as Jet Black, Oatmeal Beige, Lime Green, Mocha gray, Wild Orange and Rose Gold.
It is retailing for about $299 in Amazon and you can even buy it from here.
Conclusion:
We think that the Samsung Galaxy is a great add on to your smartphone and also a great gadget by itself.
Samsung has taken a huge leap of faith on this one and this gadget can bring immense success if it is marketed at the right price to the right customers.
