Showing posts with label smartwatch. Show all posts
$300 is a lot to spend on a clunky watch that shows your incoming messages and counts your steps, but if the Galaxy Gear‘s price tag has kept you from picking up the wearable device you’re in luck. The smartwatch is now available on eBay for just $249.99 with free shipping. The discounted Gear may be refurbished, but the seller, All4Cellular, promises it’s “like new” and “in perfect cosmetic condition.” The seller also has a 99 percent positive feedback rating.
The Galaxy Gear comes equipped with a 1.6-inch 320 x 320 display, a 800MHz processor, 4GB of storage, 512MB of RAM, a 315mAh battery, and features a built-in speaker, microphones and a 1.9-megapixel camera. Samsung’s first major smartwatch runs a heavily modified version of Android, and is only available in white or black if you want to take advantage of this eBay discount.
We aren’t huge fans of the Galaxy Gear, and it seems likely Samsung will release an updated version in early 2014. However, if you just can’t wait then this is the perfect opportunity to get your hands on the wearable device. Just make sure you have a phone that works with the smartwatch, which at this point includes the Galaxy S III, S4, Note II and Note 3.

Smartwatches are becoming the next big thing in the mobile market, and we have seen the likes of Samsung and Sony taking the lead in the production of this wearables, and different concept of what the much anticipated Apple smartwatch might look like,
Samsung galaxy note3 and gear
Sony smartwatch
But apparently, these company aren't the only ones with such plans as mobile phone giant Nokia has released its own smartwatch, the Lumia watch.
The Nokia Lumia smartwatch
The Nokia Lumia smartwatch comes abit different from other available smartwatches because they are very colourful much like the Lumia phones. From what we gathered, the Lumia watch will have an AMOLED display and runs a tweaked version of the Windows Phone platform as they're obviously designed to work with your Nokia Lumia handset or tablet. Users can view calls, messages, emails, facebook and twitter notifications, battery life and of course date and time. also there will be camera connection via Bluetooth and a great feature is it's ability to be used under water like the Lumia phones.
As we know Microsoft has recently purchased Nokia and this maybe the reason why the idea of smartwatch has arosed. What do you think about this beauty?
