As you noticed the “Galaxy” name has been dropped from the title. The second generation of Samsung smartwatches are running Tizen. The camera has moved to right on the top of the watch’s face. You can also see the addition of a home button. There is also a music player that can connect to headphones via Bluetooth.
According to Samsung, the Gear 2 will be compatible with dozens of Samsung devices at launch. No prices yet, but the smartwatches should be available in April 2014.
The stylish Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo offer consumers increased connectivity, customization, and control.
Differences Between Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo aren’t huge. The Gear 2 Neo doesn’t have the camera which makes it a bit lighter.
