Samsung Gear 2 Vs Gear 2 Neo Specs UPDATED

Samsung Gear 2 Vs Gear 2 Neo Specs

Later launching its first smartwatch back in September, Samsung's line of wearables is about to get a lot bigger. Starting next month, two new smartwatches and 1 new fitness tracker are near to bring together the Samsung Gear family. Let'south attempt to cut through the confusion and compare the features and specs of Samsung'southward original Galaxy Gear to the new Gear 2, Gear two Neo, and Gear Fit (whew!).

Update: We accept at present published our updated version of this comparison, featuring two newer watches.

Notifications

Pedometers all around

Pedometers all around

It'southward no surprise that the three total-fledged smartwatches evangelize notifications, only y'all tin also get them on the Gear Fit. That looks similar the biggest feature that separates it from rival trackers from Fitbit and Jawbone.

Non-Samsung phone compatibility

If you don't own a Samsung phone, there's no point in buying any of these

If you don't ain a Samsung phone, there's no point in buying any of these

Don't own a Samsung Galaxy phone? Well, then you're probably out of luck, equally you'll need one to enjoy the full features of any of these wrist-based devices. The Gear Fit will still track your activity without a compatible phone, but to become those notifications nosotros mentioned, you'll need a Galaxy.

Phone calls

The three smartwatches all let you make phone calls from your wrist

All three of the full-fledged smartwatches allow you lot accept and brand calls on the watch (it's technically happening on your phone, but information technology should feel similar you're doing it all on the watch). Samsung says yous'll get notifications for calls on the Gear Fit, but without a microphone, you'll accept to grab your phone to answer it.

Display

The Gear Fit, with its narrow screen, is less smartwatch and more fitness band

The Gear Fit, with its narrow screen, is less smartwatch and more fitness band

The Gear 2 and Gear ii Neo both rock the same AMOLED display found in the OG Galaxy Gear. The Gear Fit's screen is much narrower – and curved.

Heart charge per unit sensor

Though the Gear Fit is the only one marketed as a fitness tracker, all three of the new wrist-gizmos have heart rate sensors on board

The Gear Fit may be the just defended fettle tracker in this bunch, but it doesn't appear to track anything that the two new smartwatches won't. That includes the center rate sensor born to all 3 of the new gizmos.

Sleep-tracking

The three new models feature some sleep-tracking software

Ditto for sleep tracking, though Samsung lists this feature as "downloadable" for the Gear 2 watches.

Pedometer

All of the devices will send smartphone notifications to your wrist

Oh expect, even the original Gear had a pedometer built-in.

H2o and grit resistance

The water resistance is much better in the new models

The h2o resistance is much amend in the new models

All three of the new models got some extra h2o and dust protection.

Size

One of these things is not like the others

One of these things is not similar the others

If yous've ever used a Galaxy Gear, so you already have a pretty skilful idea of how big the Gear 2 series will be. The Gear Fit, meanwhile, is a much narrower device: more than band than watch.

Weight

The Gear Fit should feel very light on your wrist

The Gear Fit should feel very light on your wrist

The Gear Fit is much lighter than the other three, but fifty-fifty the two new watches shed a few grams from the Galaxy Gear.

Colors

Color options for the four devices

Several colors to choose from no thing which wrist-computer tickles your fancy.

Camera

The Gear 2's camera is now located in its main body

Ii of the watches accept cameras (this is the biggest difference betwixt the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo), only Samsung switched things around for the Gear 2. The Milky way Gear's camera was integrated into its band, but at present it lives on the Gear 2's main body. This opens the door to our next category ...

Swappable band

The three new models all let you swap their bands

The three new models all let you bandy their bands

All three of the new Gears let you bandy bands. For the Gear 2 and Neo, whatever standard 22 mm strap will do the trick. Information technology looks like the Fit will require a custom band.

Voice control

Samsung's S Voice lets you dictate text messages from your wrist

Samsung's S Voice lets you lot dictate text messages from your wrist

A vox banana can exist a very absurd feature to have on your wrist. Unfortunately, Samsung is using a pared-downwards version of its ain S Voice app for the three smartwatches. They let you lot do things like dictate text messages (very handy) or check the weather (kinda handy). For just about annihilation else, though, Southward Vocalisation won't be able to help you.

Infrared

The two new watches have infrared built-in

The ii new watches have infrared born

One cool addition to the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo is an IR equalizer. If that sounds like a gun Han Solo would use, you're (unfortunately) incorrect. It hooks up to Samsung's WatchOn app to let you alter channels on your Goggle box. This is a pretty smashing feature to take on a phone, but I can see myself using it a lot more on a watch.

Abode push button

The two new watches have infrared built-in

The two new watches have infrared born

Both the Gear ii and Neo have home buttons sitting below their screens. The Galaxy Gear only lets you navigate backwards by swiping down on the screen. The Gear Fit, with its simpler fitness focus, doesn't accept a habitation push button either.

Battery

Battery life should be improved in all of the new Gears

Battery life should exist improved in all of the new Gears

Samsung is talking a better game with its bombardment life estimates in the new models. Nosotros tin can probably chalk most of that up to this next category ...

Software

Call the tabloids: Samsung is ditching Android for Tizen

Call the tabloids: Samsung is ditching Android for Tizen

Yep, Samsung is ditching Android for its ain bombardment-friendly Tizen Os on the two new Gear watches. This probably explains why the app development for the Galaxy Gear has been and so abysmal. Samsung was probable plotting this shift for some time, and didn't want to bother stocking upwardly on Android-friendly apps for the OG Gear.

The original Gear, withal, is supposedly going to somewhen receive an update to Tizen as well. I can't remember of any time when a device has received an update that changed its entire operating system. With similar UIs, though, yous probably won't notice a huge difference on the surface.

The Gear Fit doesn't run much of anything, with nearly of what you lot come across on your screen coming from your paired phone.

Processor

At this point, smartwatches don't need a lot on the processor front, but the new models should get a little faster

At this bespeak, smartwatches don't demand a lot on the processor front end, but the new models should get a petty faster

It looks like the two new smartwatches might get a piffling speed boost, as their processors leap into the state of dual-core.

RAM

RAM in each device

RAM, however, hasn't changed from the tardily 2013 model.

Storage

Internal storage for each watch

Looks like storage is the same also, though the scant amount of available Gear apps don't appear to be putting that four GB cap in danger of filling up anytime soon.

Release appointment

Release dates ...

Release dates ...

The Gear is dead ... long live the Gear. Only over half-dozen months after the Galaxy Gear striking store shelves, its 3 successors volition be elbowing their way past it.

Pricing

The Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit both retail for $200

The Gear two Neo and Gear Fit both retail for $200

Nosotros expected the Gear 2 to run for the same US$300 that the Galaxy Gear launched for, and now that office is official. What'south a lilliputian more than surprising is that the Neo and Fit both take the same $200 toll tag. It looks similar the Neo has all of the Fit'southward fitness capabilities on board, so the Neo ends up giving you more features for the same toll. Then the Fit'south slimmer, ring-like form factor is what you're paying for.

While the original Milky way Gear still technically goes for $300, we'd expect it to come across some salubrious price cuts as retailers offload their stock.

You can now read our full reviews of the Gear 2 and Gear Fit. And if you're looking for a new Gear-friendly phone, our Galaxy S5 review is too alive.
