Samsung Gear S: A Smartwatch with No Strings Attached to Your Smartphone !

Previously when you used to operate the smartwatch, you had to be in the bluetooth vicinity of your smartphone and carry both along. The smartwatch automatically got disconnected when both were not together and it was not possible to use it for navigation, app controls, messaging etc.

But guess what? Samsung has now released 'Gear S' at 'Unpacked Episode 2' making it possible to use smartwatch without a smartphone. After unveiling Samsung Note Edge, this was another big thing for all the smartwatch lovers.



Samsung Gear S has the potential to manage all the functions and notifications at a glance. Check out the extraordinary features:

Seamless 3G connectivity:
Making a call or messaging through smartphone might not be a new thing for you. But did you ever try to connect your loved one with the help of the smartwatch? And that too without connecting to smartphone?



Now, Samsung Gear S will have a separate SIM slot to make it easy for you make a call or message wherever you go. Going for a walk and want to make a call to your mom? Want to make sure your beloved is fine? Manage all your tasks with the help of 3G connectivity on your local network. Now the wearable applications can be downloaded on the go!

Keeps the watch face on:
A power packed 2-inch screen, 360 x 480 pixel resolution and super AMOLED touchscreen give the smartwatch a dynamic look. Does you smartwatch gets face off in the dark when not in use? The curved screen shows its watch face even when not in use. This feature was not seen in Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit but you can adjust the brightness of the watch face when you sleep so that the pixels used will be less and resulting in low power consumption.

Track your health:
Do you know the steps you walk per day? Did you notice the amount of calories that you burn per day? All this is now possible to track with the help of S Health feature in Samsung Gear S and the wearable apps development team efforts. Also keep a track of your heart beats and detect the UV rays with the help of UV light sensor. Accelerometer sensor from Nike in the smartwatch counts the kilometers you travel. Isn't that very smart?



Find your car:
At the places where car parking areas are spread for miles together, you end up looking for car but in vain. Not to forget the heavy fines that you might have to pay if you exceed the time limit! Gear S is the perfect answer to such confusions as you will be able to trace your car no matter where it is parked! This is possible through the GPS system in the smartwatch that runs with 3G connectivity. You can quite obviously, also navigate to many other places with the help of the maps.

Other features:
Samsung Gear S comes with Tizen OS which will give you an opportunity to view the photos and play the videos with more clarity. Remove the clock from the screen by adjusting the clock settings so that you can have a perfect view of the smartwatch. It's water resistant and is capable to withstand water till 30 min in 1 meter depth. Internal memory is 4GB and RAM is 512MB.


With this release, Samsung has given a tough competition to its challengers in the present market. Motorla 360° was unveiled yesterday and it will be interesting to see whether the features are going to beat this Gear S model or not!
