Today at IFA - Berlin, Samsung pulled the curtains off the smart watch. Many people around the world had been expecting this - a smart watch that would let you do cools things. So has the Galaxy Gear smart watch has exceeded our expectations or has fallen short on it?
Let’s take a look at the Samsung Galaxy Gear Smart watch.
Galaxy Gear Smart Watch Design
Let’s first of all talk about the design. As you can see from the pictures above and below, it is not the one we had been expecting. I’m talking about the previous leak we got regarding the Samsung smart watch.
That leaked showed a clunky and a huge smart watch. But today’s official announcement showed that it indeed is something which we might buy. Although it’s not perfect or a design that Apple would have for its products but nonetheless, it is something which you might wear in public without being pointed out as a geek.
Samsung Galaxy Gear Specifications
Let’s dig into the specs regarding the Samsung watch now.
Samsung Galaxy Gear features a 1.63 inch, 320×320 pixel Super AMOLED screen. Which is something many Samsung fans would be happy to know about. It also features a 1.9 megapixel camera which is placed on the wristband. This camera can record both photos and videos, you can share these videos directly to Facebook, Twitter or other social networking sites.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear packs a moderate 800MHz processor, 512MB RAM, and 4GB storage - which might be considered good, as it’s only a small watch.
The battery in the Samsung watch is 315 mAH, which Samsung says will help you last the entire day. Now this all depends on what “entire day” Samsung has in mind. But we are guessing it will be able to record some videos and take pictures and do other stuff, but not for the entire day.
When it comes to battery, companies usually exaggerate their battery timings. So don’t expect much in this category.
