Discover their latest products and whether it is worth or not mounted in the fashion of the 'technology to dress'.
The craze for gadgets 'to wear' is getting stronger. We are not far that all we face the question of whether or not to buy a device like this, to wear on the wrist or on clothing.
This time we tried the Galaxy Gear 2, which, next to Galaxy Neo Gear 2 and Galaxy Fit, a special handle for athletes, full of Korean family in their interest to enter hard in the category of 'wearables', of technology 'to wear'.
It is inevitable to compare Gear 2 with its predecessor. And there we noticed the first improvements: it has a better design, more modern, with a separate clock pulse (you can change it handles colors), which is now thinner and lighter. Your screen, touch, is equal to that of Gear 1: Super AMOLED 1.63 inch, very bright and useful in any lighting condition.
Inside, we will have a more powerful 'brain' (1GHz dual core, compared to 80 MHz Gear 1) and its operation is the same as the Gear 1 (lateral movement of fingers to move between applications), but not Android is. This Gear 2 is provided with Tizen, their own mobile operating system Samsung.
As the first device with Tizen still not many 'apps', although rapid and massive wave of compatible applications is expected. Where I do win for being Tizen is the battery now lasts about three days in intensive use.
The chamber (2 Mp) in the housing is now not on clock pulse. You can record video in HD and automatically transmits the content to the phone. Gear Manager is the 'app' out from Mobile controls the overall configuration of the clock: can set alerts and notifications you want to see on your Gear 2 (Whatsapp messages, Twitter, Facebook, email, etc..), But only supports Samsung mobile phones.
Like the Gear 1, you can answer and reject calls with a touch screen. It has microphone and speaker for hands-free talking with clock style.
Other important improvements have to do with health. The Gear 2 owns pedometer system and monitoring exercises like jogging or biking, which measures the distance traveled and calories burned. In the back of the clock there is a heart rate sensor, which through a light beam pulses per second reports the user. In our tests we compare this measurement with standard methods and find that it is quite consistent and accurate.
Another improvement is that it is waterproof. It can be submerged for half an hour to one meter deep. It also included an infrared sensor, so that with the app 'Watch On Remote' can control from your TV and watch TV service. We tested with different brands of TVs and it worked without problem.
The function to find the cell from the cell, or watch from Mobile, operates smoothly and is quite useful. Actually, this Gear 2 is very close to what a good 'partner' can be mobile. It is a useful and efficient cell extension, which now earns in design and appearance.

The verdict of Technosphere
Best: Watch a convenient carry. It is a good mobile extension: You can control the music, answer or reject calls and see notifications from your social networks. The camera is pretty good and efficient. Surprise your new function infrared remote control. His health applications are also very useful with a precise heart rate sensor. Now resistant to water provides a greater potential for use in different situations.
Improve: a battery still needs a better performance. I wish it was compatible with other brands of phones. Health information the user should be more transparent with the S-Health preinstalled on Samsung phones.
