Samsung confirms Tizen-based Gear 2, leaving behid a trail for Android to follow. It is unlikely that a smartwatch major will join hands with Android to provide the platform for the Samsung Gear 2.
Samsung was working with Intel Cop. to create its mobille platform to curb the growth of Google's free Android software, which has more smartphones running on the OS than any other platform including iOS from Apple.
However, Samsung has used Android as a mainstay platform and it continues to enjoy immense popularity, mostly because applications arefgrow and is now used in almost 80 percent of the global smartphone market, according to ndtv.com.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 smartwatch launches just few months after the release of the first version, the Samsung Galaxy Gear. This shows that Samsung is not just 'following the leader' Apple, but is innovative enough to get a head start on its watch. Sony too had unveiled a wearable watch last year.
Samsung product watchers say the light weight feature of the Samsung Gear might enable the company to make two variants.
The Galaxy Gear wristwatch was unpopuar at first because it was not as sauve as consumers would have like it to be. Ease of use was an important criteria for using the Gear, one of the first smartwatches to be unveiled.
According to NDTV, "The launch also underscores Samsung's desire to come up with new products to revive slowing momentum in its mobile business, the tech giant's biggest earnings driver, as sales of high-end smartphones have eased in many advanced markets."
