Yesterday Samsung announced the new Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch, and now we have some details on the Samsung Galaxy Gear price. According to Bloomberg, the Galaxy Gear will retail for $299.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear features a 1.63 inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels. The device comes with an 800MHz single-core processor and features a 1.9-megapixel camera.
The camera on the Samsung Galaxy Gear is built into the device’s watch strap, and it also comes with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of built-in storage. The device also features Bluetooth 4.0 LE, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope, plus a 315mAh battery.
Innovative Features of the Samsung Galaxy Gear
One of the standout features of the Samsung Galaxy Gear is its integration with other Samsung devices. The smartwatch is designed to work seamlessly with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, allowing users to receive notifications, make calls, and even control media playback directly from their wrist. This level of integration makes the Galaxy Gear not just a standalone device but an extension of the user’s smartphone.
The 1.9-megapixel camera, although modest in comparison to modern smartphone cameras, is quite innovative for a smartwatch. It allows users to quickly capture photos and videos on the go without needing to pull out their phone. The camera is strategically placed on the watch strap, making it easy to point and shoot.
Design and Usability
The Samsung Galaxy Gear is designed with both functionality and style in mind. It will be available in six different colors, catering to a wide range of personal tastes. The colors include Jet Black, Mocha Gray, Wild Orange, Oatmeal Beige, Rose Gold, and Lime Green. This variety ensures that there is a Galaxy Gear to match any outfit or occasion.
The watch’s 1.63-inch Super AMOLED display is vibrant and clear, making it easy to read notifications and interact with apps. The touch interface is intuitive, allowing users to swipe through menus and options with ease. The inclusion of an accelerometer and gyroscope enhances the device’s usability, enabling features like gesture control and fitness tracking.
The 315mAh battery, while not the largest, is sufficient for a full day of typical use. Samsung has optimized the device’s power consumption to ensure that users can get through their day without needing to recharge. However, heavy users may find themselves needing to top up the battery in the evening.
Have a look at the full details and specifications on the new Samsung Galaxy Gear. The device will go on sale on the 25th of September along with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and will be available in six colors.
