All that is known about the Samsung Gear, specifications and more

The Samsung Gear is a device designed to operate independently but with a smartphone. We could say that is the SmartWatch (Sony) and Samsung would be wrong too. With 2.5 inch screen serve to be the perfect accessory for any smartphone you "connect".

The Samsung Gear will be presented on September 4 in the same event which will be released also anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note III.
Although initially it was thought that the Samsung Gear would be an accessory for the Samsung Galaxy Note II, it is not. This is a separate device of this smartphone and compatible with almost any other on the market today.

The Samsung Software Gear

The prototypes have been delivered to developers incorporate version 4.1 of Android by general rule, although in some cases, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is the version that these gadgets incorporate. As is evident, the device is expected to reach the market with its own interface Samsung. Probably the Samsung version is 4.2.2 incorporates Gear Jelly Bean or, which would be more logical, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Bluetooth LE.

Run out of Google Play Store

Something that many displeased and, above all, to many developers may remove the device, is the fact that it will launch without access to Google Play Store. Applications for the Samsung Gear will be downloaded (at least officially) through its own application store Samsung. Do not think it will appeal to any developer that the distribution of their applications is limited to a single application store.

The Samsung Hardware Gear

The Gear Samsung processor would be a Samsung Exynos 4212 1.5GHz dualcore that would accompany a GPU Mali-400 MP4. As in the case of the Sony counterpart, incorporate Bluetooth 4.0 for the optimization of the link with smartphones and also NFC will also have to carry out the connection between devices.
The battery of the device is a complete unknown at this time. Given that this is a 2.5-inch OLED screen with 320 x 320 pixel resolution, battery consumption will be important and, therefore, will be an issue that Samsung had better care. We will have to see whether this kind of gadgets enough to endure the really work as a watch or have a range similar to that of smartphones, that keep us enslaved to the power grid in order to continue "working" with them.

If this type of device strikes you as sports partner, you're in luck. I will detail more about it, but the Samsung Gear incorporate interesting applications for measuring data during exercise and other activities. Regarding water resistance for the moment nothing is known and its competitor, the Sony SmartWatch 2 is splash resistant.
