The watch runs on Samsung’s own OS( Tizen), which Samsung has been pushing since last year.
Samsung’s Gear S2 has a unique round design with a rotating bezel for selecting different screens. We spent a few good days with it. The Samsung Gear S2 has two variants available in India, the regular one and the classic. Both are round and come with removable bands. We got the regular version to play around with that has the rubber straps and a metallic dials. This gives the smartwatch a very sporty look. The classic version has a shiny finish and comes with leather or metal bands, giving it a more refined look.
The Samsung Gear S2 has a free bezel that can be rotated to access different screens. This makes it intuitive and a fancy feature at the same time. All the variants come with two physical buttons, which act as the back and home buttons. Apart from these the user can swipe and tap the touchscreen. Special mention, this smartwatch comes with a T9 keypad for replying to text and is very helpful if you do not feel like taking out the phone.
Samsung’s Gear S2 comes with Gorilla Glass 3 surface over the 1.2-inch sAMOLED display. This has a resolution of 360 x 360( 302ppi) pixels. The screen has excellent viewing angles and the display worked effectively even under direct sunlight.
