On the sidelines of the official presentation of its Galaxy Note 3, the Korean manufacturer Samsung also unveiled its first watch connected: Galaxy Gear. We had the opportunity to handle some length. Here are our first impressions.
Samsung has decided to hit hard in this school year. In addition to the Galaxy Note 3 we offer a grip otherwise, the Korean automaker also unveiled the Galaxy Gear, his first shows connected. In these days, rumors often reveal the characteristics of a device long before its release. In the case that concerns us here, the name of the product and its design are certainly found on the Internet, but not the exact data sheet. Indeed, while the pseudo-leaks suggested a 3-inch touch screen for this accessory, it is finally 1.7 inches. This allows all to keep a classic format shows.
We took advantage of our presence in the IFA to take over the Galaxy Gear together with the Note 3. As mentioned just now, the first thing that strikes connected with this watch is that it really looks like ... a watch. The manufacturer is the decline in six different colors: white, yellow, orange, black, gray and pink gold metal. In any case, part of the front face and the clasp is made of metal are. The bracelet is for its part plastic and enjoys a mild coating on the inner portion in contact with the skin of the user.
Samsung has its Galaxy Gear as an accessory rather than a full-fiedged smartphone.What is a compelling logic to the extent that the unit must be connected via Bluetooth to a mobile to give the full extent of its capabilities. and not just because any mobile work exclusively with certain samsung smartphones and tablet, starting with Galaxy Note 3..When our grip, for example, we asked the show to give us the weather. It is executed in a few seconds,Displaying information on its small screen.
The notification system also seemed smart enough insofar as it does not venture to suggest you to read the entire contents of the notification on the screen of the watch. However, when you click on a notification to an email for example, which is displayed on the screen of the watch, it opens the subject of the notification or email, directly on the smartphone. Like so that you can just take the smartphone in hand to read without having to open the message again. The interface of the Galaxy Gear, based on large clean but clearly identifiable icons, appears simple and effective. All is running with a 800 MHz processor. Finally, note that the unit is IP57 certified. It is therefore resistant Ala dust and water splashes. It should be quite enviseagble take a shower or bath by keeping the wrist.
For the rest, it will spend a little more time to give us a real idea of the potential of the Galaxy Gear and its real usefulness in everyday life. But first contact us in any case looked promising. However, it will have to wait to get your hands on a commercial version to get a final opinion.
