Samsung Gear S2 Release Date & Specs: New Teaser Video Arrives, More Pricing Details Revealed [Watch]
There's no doubt about it, the new Samsung Gear S2 is one of the company's most anticipated devices of the season. To get the market even more pumped up about the smartwatch, Samsung has unveiled a video teaser highlighting the many different ways people can make use of the small timepiece.
The new video is dubbed "Dial In." It clocks in at less than a minute but is able to show many features of the handy device such as using the S-Health, listening to different playlists, creating quick messages on the go and checking real-time update on sports, among others. The sleek features of the gadget are evident in the short trailer and the effortless, rotating design makes it an easy wearable to use.
According to a report from Phone Arena, the upcoming Samsung Gear S2 may be used with a specific list of Android models, all of which powered by Android 4.4 or higher and with at least 1.5GB of RAM available.
As early as now, pre-orders are already available at Verizon, either on its own or bundled with a contract with the carrier company. The Samsung Gear S2 will cost $299.99 when tied to a two-year contract, and $349.99 for the device on its own at full retail price. The phone will arrive at the carrier, in stores and online on Nov. 6.
T-Mobile will also be selling the Samsung watch online and in stores for $359.99 on its full retail price. Those who qualify can stagger the amount over 24 months for $15 per month plus $14.99 on the final payment, according to an official release from T-Mobile. The Samsung Gear S2 will be available on T-Mobile at Nov. 15.
According to a report from The Verge, the device will also be made available on AT&T, but there have been no confirmations or details from the network as of now.
The Samsung Gear S2 will be available in two colors for both Verizon and T-Mobile, dark grey and silver.
The new wearable is highly anticipated and critics who have tried it out have liked it, so far. A review from The Verge's Dan Seifert calls it "a clinic on what a smart watch should be."
After listing the good and bad points of the Samsung Gear S2, Seifert has this to say about wearables: "It will be a long time before they are as sorted out as smartphones are in terms of design and usability. But if there's a direction I'd like to see the industry go, it's the path Samsung has set forth with the Gear S2: easy-to-use smartwatches that both look good and function well."
