| The Gear Sport |
The Samsung Gear Sport which is an athletic focused successor of the Gear S2 that we reviewed years ago. The design is similar but more polished and streamlined. We loved the rotating knob that we used to navigate the Gear S2 and it returns but with better through and an updated Tizen OS which makes it easier to navigate through the smart device. It has storage so you can save some of your downloaded Spotify playlist into the phone.
It has a 1.2 Inch Full Circle Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 3 that is powered by 1.0 GHz dual core processor, 768 MB of RAM, 4GB ROM, 300mAh, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, GPS, GLONASS, gyro, accelerometer and a myriad of other sensors. It is aimed for sports enthusiasts who want more smart functionality and a physical appearance of a watch. It is only water resistant though so it is only good at withstanding sweat but not water sports. It is priced at PHP 14,990.
