On October 21, Samsung officially launched its latest smart watch, Gear S2, at the Himalayan Center of Shanghai Zendai University. It has a simple design. The new disc operation mode and Samsung's own Tizen system are more eye-catching. Now let's briefly review the press conference and experience the new product.

The layout of the conference hall in the conference hall was quite careful, and many different dials were used for decoration.

Models also showed off outside the venue, attracting people to stop and shoot.

Deng Xiaohua, the chief marketing officer of Samsung Greater China, was the first to appear.

Ms. Deng first explained the design concept and original intention of Gear S2, hoping to create a fashionable but practical wearable product.

After that, there were model shows.

Next, Jiang Yayun explains the functionality and design elements of Gear S2.

Add a rotatable outer ring accessory from the round dial, and rotate the outer ring instead of sliding up and down.

International model Ju Xiaowen was also invited to serve as a model and special guest.

Then the staff of Samsung Electronics showed us the various functions and features of the Gear S2.

What is more attractive is the close cooperation with major applications. For example, Alipay can support the pop-up payment code on Gear S2, and you can pay directly by using a watch.

In addition, the super power-saving mode is also added. Thanks to the features of SuperAMOLED, more power can be saved in the power-saving mode to maintain the endurance of the watch.

Wireless charging is also necessary for beauty.

It supports IP68 dust-proof and waterproof, and there is no need to worry about daily water splashing.

When you enter the experience area, you will see a variety of Gear S2 in the center, including sports version and classic version, as well as a variety of watchbands. It seems that the degree of personalized customization is very high.

By the way, let's talk about the hardware configuration of Gear S2. Gear S2 and the classic version of Gear S2 both use a 1.2 inch display screen with a resolution of 360 * 360, and are equipped with the latest Tizen system. The body thickness is only 11.4mm. It is really thin in smart watches. It is equipped with a 1GHz dual core processor, 512MB running memory and 4GB body storage, and supports NFC, Bluetooth WLAN， The battery capacity is 250mAh, and the official theory is that the battery life can reach 2-3 days. If the super power saving mode is used, the battery life will be greatly extended.

Next, let's take a look at the appearance of the sports version. The overall style is simple. The round dial. The outer ring on the top can rotate. The outer ring rotation can replace the finger sliding operation. The dial is made of stainless steel and feels good with the anodizing process. At present, the dial is available in gray and silver.

On the top right side of the watch is the Home button, the middle is the microphone, and the bottom is the return button.

There is no button arranged on the other side. From the perspective of wearing experience, it is most convenient to wear it on the left hand. Wearing it on the right hand is a little awkward when you need to press the button.

Silicone strap, of course, can be replaced at will.

Step counting function.

There are Chinese lunar festivals on the calendar, which is more suitable for the national conditions.

Since Samsung Gear S2 does not use Android system, but its own Tizen system, the UI design and operation mode are quite different from Android watches.

The application drawer of Gear S2 uses the edge arc arrangement method to place application icons, and page turning can be achieved by touching and rotating the dial. Click the icon to enter the application.

Drop down to display the power. There are also some shortcut switches here. Due to the limited experience time, it is unclear whether these shortcut switches can be customized.

Brightness adjustment.

There is a heart rate sensor on the back, which can detect the user's heart rate.

The left and right sliding of the dashboard desktop is to switch common applications. In addition, we can also customize common desktop applications. For example, adding a schedule to the desktop, you can call up the application interface by sliding left and right, instead of entering the application drawer to select applications.

This is a little like the application widget on the Android phone desktop, which is quite practical and intuitive.

When charging horizontally, the watch display can also display horizontally according to the direction of the visit, but there is no indication of charging power after the black screen, which is relatively monotonous.

We can look at the comparison between Gear S2 and LG G Watch. The dial of Gear S2 feels a little small and more suitable for women to wear, but it seems a little inappropriate for men to wear it. As far as personal preferences are concerned, they prefer watches with large dials, while Gear S2 has only one size, which is really a pity.

Next, let's take a look at the classic version of Gear S2. The design of the classic version is closer to that of the traditional watch. The dial is black and the leather strap is added. The overall style of the classic version is much higher than that of the sports version. However, the outer ring of the dial is designed as a gear.

The design of keys is the same. The only difference between the sports version and the classic version is the appearance. The operation mode and hardware configuration of the other two versions are the same.

The visual angle of the watch is also excellent.

The back is also a heart rate sensor.

Try testing your heart rate.

In terms of price, the price of Gear S2 sports version is 2198 yuan, while that of classic version is 2398 yuan, which means the difference between the price of 200 yuan is the difference between the dial design and the leather strap. In the process of experience, The touch of Gear S2 and the response of the turntable rotation are very sensitive. In general, it is an Android smart watch with excellent experience, and the pricing is reasonable. If a large screen size is added in the future, it will be more attractive.
