New Samsung smartwatches to be launched

Technology giant Samsung has released two new versions of its Gear smartwatch.

The new devices – a Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo – feature a camera on the screen rather than the strap, with a slew of fresh customisation settings.

The companion technology is intended to work with the user’s existing smartphone.

Samsung spokesman Simon Stanford said: “Offering extended connectivity features, stylish customisation options and a robust application network, we have enhanced everything that people love about the original Samsung Gear to create a second generation of wearable devices that offer unparalleled smart freedom.”

The new devices also offer personal fitness coaching in real time, so users can develop a customised fitness routine and monitor their heart rate.

Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo will both be available from April, Samsung said.
