While our insider source was able to give us the availability date, there was no mention of the price these devices will carry. It has been rumored that Samsung was looking to price the Gear 2 at a lower price point to the original Galaxy Gear, but there isn’t any official confirmation of the same. According to the timeline provided to us, the three devices will be unveiled a week before the Galaxy S5 becomes available globally.
Hardware wise, there isn’t as much of a difference from the Galaxy Gear to the Gear 2. The screen size, resolution, size of RAM and internal memory are all the same. There is a faster 1 GHz CPU on the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo, but otherwise hardware isn’t a differentiator. The Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo differ in the fact that the Gear 2 comes with a 2 MP camera that is embedded onto the watch face. The Gear Fit on the other hand is a fitness tracker that comes with a curved AMOLED screen and a bevy of sensors that include real-time heart monitor that tracks your vital information on the go. All three wearable devices garnered quite a lot of attention, with the Gear Fit winning the “Best Mobile Device” accolade by the GSMA yesterday. What are your thoughts on the new line of wearables? Are you interested in getting any of the devices? Let us know below.
