Last week I was at the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the new line of the Gear smart watches. Personally I had many questions I wanted to query, and I was hoping to get answers at this event. Let me relay the answers so tech persons out there like me can keep their heart rate down.
Jamaica
will be getting the Octa-Core version of the Galaxy S5 and not the Snapdragon
801 version. I’m 90% sure of this since the Octa-Core version was the model
being display.
The
devices will be available for sale by the 11/4/2014.
The Galaxy S5 is IP67 certified which means its dust and
water resistant to a certain degree, but that doesn’t mean you can take a dip
in a pool with it. The two memorable features we want to mention are the finger
print scanner, and the new Ultra Power Saving Mode that will let your phone
last for 24 hrs on 10% of battery life. The Finger print scanner that unlocks
your phone by using your biometrics was demonstrated and wowed onlookers. The
Samsung Gear 2 and Gear Fit were also present at the event for interaction.
The Gear 2 is one of Samsung many new wearable tech devices that comes with a 2 Megapixel camera, touch screen, heart rate monitor, Bluetooth and a 1.0 GHz dual core processor all package into a sleek looking wristwatch. The Gear Fit on the other hand is slightly slimmed down to look like an arm band and is missing the camera feature of the Gear 2. Both devices are IP67 certified as well to help protect them from Mother Nature’s fury. As to how well all these features will work in our country, we’ll have to just wait and see. I’m still a bit unclear on some things because they weren’t mentioned or talked about at the event like…

I’m still a bit unclear on some things because they weren’t mentioned or talked about at the event like…
- If Jamaica is getting the Octa – Core version of the Glaxay S5 will it have UHD (Ultra High Definition) video recording like the snapdragon version?
- Will the Gear 2, Gear Neo, Gear Fit have all the functionality when paired with and older Samsung device like the Galaxy S3 or S4?
- Can the Gear Line of devices work on any android device or just Samsung branded devices?
- How long can these smart watches last on a full charge?
- Can all the gear devices work as a standalone device or the must be paired with a Smartphone to get the most of it?
Hopefully
these questions will be answered in the coming weeks… Thanks for reading.
