Samsung is preparing its first application for iOS, which will allow you to use the “smart” watch Gear S2 with iPhone
Samsung's Smart S2 Gear S2 is now available for purchase in Russia. Unlike previous models, the new product can work in tandem not only with South Korean smartphones, but also with any devices running Android 4.4 and higher. As it became known, in the future, owners of the iPhone will be able to use the device.
According to the SamMobile resource, Samsung specialists are working on a companion app for the Gear S2 smartwatch, which is designed specifically for the iPhone. It is noted that Gear Manager will be the first software product of the South Korean brand for the iOS platform.
Gear S2 is Samsung’s seventh wearable device since the launch of the first model and the first since the Apple Watch in April this year. It can be seen that Samsung paid special attention to design. And the point is not in the round display, but in the fact that the device as a whole is not like the previous smart watches of the company. Gear S2 is made of metal. The gadget has a round screen and a rotating bezel: it has the functions of scrolling, scaling, adjusting, switching between applications and others.
Gear S2 received a Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 3 protective glass. The screen diameter is 1.2 inches and its resolution is 360 x 360 pixels. Available Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 modules, GPS receiver, heart rate monitor, support for wireless charging and Samsung Pay payment system.
The watch is presented in two versions - Sport and Classic. Both models have a stainless steel case and are able to track the user's physical activity, his sleep, pulse, oxygen content in the blood and interact with the elements of a smart home.
The release date of the Gear Manager app for iOS was not disclosed. However, we can safely assume that this will happen much earlier than the second-generation Apple Watch. After all, Samsung needs time to lure users of Apple smart watches to their side.
Note that Samsung Gear S2 is sold in Russia at a price of 20 990 rubles - for the main version and 24 990 rubles - for the classic version. Prices for Apple Watch in Russia start at 27,990 rubles.
