The official inauguration is scheduled for September 3 in Berlin, in the frame of the 2015′s Ifa. The new version of the intelligent Korean giant is, however, already been revealed (by the same manufacturer, in a press release issued today) and as a result – except for the date of launch and price – of this wearable gadgets you already know everything . We do not know, to be honest, with what other mobile devices will be compatible but it is likely to be the last entered in the catalog of Samsung (Galaxy Edge S6 + and Note 5 in the head).

Taking a look at specifications, we can leave the option of 3G connectivity (via ESIM) of new smartwatch, dowry which makes it a real object connected across all applications of the Internet of things. At the hardware level the main features seen in a display list technology to 1.2-inch AMOLED 360 by 360 pixels (302 ppi), four GB of internal space for storage and 512 Mbytes of RAM, a processor Exynos 3250 to owner Dual core processor (1 GHz) in the version without a Sim and 400 Msm8226 Qualcomm Snapdragon chip for models with connectivity and operating system Tizen OS.

On a practical level, Samsung has taken care of the very aspect of the interaction. To use the Gear S2 fact simply turn the outer ring and then navigate through the menus and options through commands Home and Back. If for mobile payment services the gadget can leverage the standard NFC (near field communication) and very likely the platform Samsung Pay when this will actually be available, it is clear that the decision to “abandon” Android can limit under ‘ aspect of the number of apps available (but for those there is always the smartphone).

Having said that module WiFi (802.11 b / g / n) and Bluetooth 4.1 are integrated as standard and IP68 certification guarantees resistance to dust and water, plus the last functional which boasts Gear S2 is battery life lithium-ion battery from 250 mAh to 300 mAh for the 3G version. The Korean company promises a use without recharging for two or three days, depending on the intensity of use. Not having to hand an electrical outlet here is also the opportunity to get your fill of energy to smartwatch wirelessly.

Dimensions and aesthetics finally. The thickness of the basic model is of 11.4 mm for a weight of 47 grams, which become 42 for the Classic version. Those who opt for the 3G module must accept a body a bit ‘more robust (13.4 mm thick, to make room for the ESIM) and a little’ less lightness (in fact you get to 51 grams). The Gear S2 will come with case and strap dark gray, or with silver body and white strap. The Classic version will be available with black case and leather strap. The wait at this point, it’s all to know how much it will cost on the price lists. Assuming that, sooner or later, arrives in Italy.
