Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced the launch of Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch. A result of assiduous progressive innovation in the wearables category, the Samsung Gear S2 is purposefully designed with a versatile circular display and unique rotating bezel that provides an optimized user experience for precise and comfortable control. 

 

Featuring its unique rotating bezel, along with the Home and Back buttons, ensures that users will have a faster and more precise way of comfortably accessing their notifications and applications. In addition, its advanced features enable its users to enhance, personalize and become more engaged with their mobile experience.

 

Attuned to its customers’ fashion requirements, Samsung’s latest wearable is available in two stylish, yet different options – the Gear S2 and the Gear S2 classic. Catering to two distinct consumer preferences, the Gear S2 classic is made for users who prefer a more timeless watch design, offering an elegant Black finish with a matching genuine leather band. The Gear S2 is ideal for those who are on-the-go and have an admiration for minimal and modern design, available in a choice of black or white. 

 

“Samsung has vested itself into developing and advancing the wearables category, bringing brave new concepts to the smart wearables market over the past number of years,” said Mr. Chungsup Lee, President of Samsung Electronics Levant. “As a brand that is familiar with the Middle East and North Africa region and its requirements, the Gear S2 supports the Arabic language, ensuring that it is the perfect companion for any occasion and for everyone. Our latest wearable ensures that you get more out of every moment in your day, by making it smarter and ultimately more personal and fun.”

 

A mere 11.4-millimeter thin, the Samsung Gear S2 brings a light and compact design to your wrist. It offers an incredibly vibrant viewing experience for a smartwatch, thanks to its 1.2-inch circular screen and its 360 x 360 resolution (302 ppi). The applications on the Gear S2 can be viewed with amazing clarity so that users don’t miss notification pop-ups. Also, with the latest Tizen OS and an optimized 1-GHz dual core processor, the Samsung Gear S2 can perform tasks easily and efficiently.

 

Users can stay connected with at-a-glance notifications to check calendars, e-mails, news and can even send important texts directly from their wrist. Compatible with a range of Android powered smartphones, this Bluetooth enabled device will offer the user added convenience.  

 

New fitness functions on the Samsung Gear S2 will encourage consumers to stay healthy and active. The 24-hour activity log lets users view daily activity progress and patterns at a glance. It will also send reminder updates to motivate users to stay on track with their fitness goals.

 

All of these connected features will be supported by a battery that can last up to 2-3 days, allowing consumers to stay connected without the hassle of constantly having to recharge. To charge, simply place the Samsung Gear S2 on the wireless charging dock right out of the box.

 

The Samsung Gear S2 reflects Samsung’s commitment to openly collaborate with developers and partners to bring increased customization and applications to its devices. Samsung is working closely with partners to offer a range of watch faces and watch bands so that users can have a variety of ways to express their personal style and mood. Users can easily change the band with one click, and change the watch face for a more personalized and sophisticated Gear experience depending on the time, place or occasion.

 

The Samsung Gear S2 comes in variation of a Dark Gray case with a dark gray band and Silver case with a white band; and the Samsung Gear S2 classic comes in a Black case with a leather band. For more product information, please visit www.samsungmobilepress.com.
