![Samsung annuncia ufficialmente i nuovi Galaxy Gear 2 e Gear 2 Neo [MWC 2014]](https://static.androidiani.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Samsung-Galaxy-Gear-2-Neo-Tizen.jpg)
La prima grande novità di questi due nuovi smartwatch è la presenza di Tizen, il quale avrebbe permesso al produttore coreano di estendere la durata della batteria fino a 2-3 giorni.
Gli smartwatch sono leggermente più sottili e leggeri rispetto al predecessore, pur mantenendo lo stesso design, anche perchè adesso la fotocamera è stata integrata nella scocca dello smartwatch permettendo di avere un cinturino più leggero e sottile.
Ecco le specifiche tecniche del Galaxy Gear 2:
- Display da 1,63 pollici (320×320)
- Processore da 1 GHz
- Sistema operativo Tizen
- RAM 512MB
- Memoria interna 4GB
- Certificazione IP67 (resistenza alla polvere e all’acqua)
- Sensore di frequenza cardiaca
- Porta ad infrarossi
- Batteria da 300 mAh
L’unica differenza tra le due versioni del nuovo Gear 2 consente nell’assenza della fotocamera nella versione Neo, la quale consente anche di avere circa 13 grammi di peso in meno. Inoltre, anche se la batteria risulta essere meno capiente rispetto a quella della generazione precedente, grazie all’ottimizzazione di Tizen è stato possibile estendere l’autonomia del device.
La disponibilità sul mercato è attesa per il secondo trimestre dell’anno a prezzi ancora sconosciuti. Vi lasciamo alle prime immagini ed al comunicato ufficiale:
