Samsung had announced the Tizen OS-based Gear S smartwatch, announced earlier this yearm, is available for pre-order in India. The watch is priced at Rs. 28,900 and is available for pre-order for Rs. 1,000.
The Samsung Gear S has a 2-inch curved AMOLED display with a resolution of 360 x 480 pixels. The watch is powered by a dual-core 1GHz processor and a 512MB RAM. It is packing a 4GB storage and a 300mAh battery which Samsung says can last 2 days.
The feature we are looking forward to is SIM card slot, which allows you to make calls via a 2G or 3G SIM. The watch also has Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi connectivity options.
However, even with its SIM handling capabilities the watch is not a standalone device and would require one of the listed Samsung smartphones to initialize the device and to download apps for the watch.
