Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. this week announced the Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch, the company’s latest offering as a result of many years of progressive innovation in the wearables category.

The Samsung Gear S2 comes in a versatile, circular design with an intuitive, custom UX and advanced features that enable users to enhance, personalize and bring more fun to their mobile experience.
The Gear S2’s unique rotating bezel, along with the Home and Back buttons, ensures users will have a quicker, more precise method to comfortably access notifications and applications.

Introduced in two different options – the Gear S2 and the Gear S2 classic – Samsung designed the Gear S2 to appeal to two distinct consumer preferences. The Gear S2 classic is made for users who prefer a more timeless watch design, offering an elegant Black finish with a matching genuine leather band. The Gear S2 is ideal for those who are on-the-go and have an admiration for minimal and modern design.

The device is a mere 11.4-millimeter thin, and brings a light and compact design to your wrist. It offers an incredibly vibrant viewing experience for a smartwatch, thanks to its 1.2-inch circular screen and its 360 x 360 resolution (302 ppi).

Also, with the latest Tizen OS and an optimized 1-GHz dual core processor, the Samsung Gear S2 can perform tasks easily and efficiently.

Samsung is working with a wide selection of partners across different industries to expand the usability of wearables and streamline consumers’ mobile lives in a variety of ways, including smart car keys, residential room keys, and remote controls to manage a connected home.

All of these connected features will be supported by a battery that can last up to 2-3 days, allowing consumers to stay connected without the hassle of constantly having to recharge. To charge, simply place the Samsung Gear S2 on the wireless charging dock right out of the box.

A variety of apps optimized for the Gear S2’s circular user interface will be available at launch. Through open collaboration with developers and partners, Samsung is continuing to enrich its wearable ecosystem and provide users with a more optimized and unique smart wearable experience.

The Samsung Gear S2 will be available in a Dark Gray case with a Dark Gray band and Silver case with a White band. The Samsung Gear S2 classic will be available in a Black case with a Leather band.



Misfit and Speedo are announcing a long-term partnership and the launch of a Speedo-branded activity, swim, and sleep tracker—Speedo Shine.   Speedo Shine will initially be available in retail exclusively at Apple stores worldwide on September 1st, as well as on misfit.com. 

Speedo Shine is the first device of its kind that was designed with swimmers in mind.  Proprietary lap counting algorithms embedded in the device’s firmware track a swimmer’s lap count with industry-leading accuracy, as validated by Speedo in-pool testing at their advanced development facility, the Aqua lab, and it will work for all stroke types. Speedo Shine syncs with the Misfit app for iOS and Android and displays laps and swim distance, along with calories burned and points earned.  The device will soon also work with Speedo’s personalized swim tracking app, Speedo Fit.

 
Speedo Shine is endorsed by elite Speedo athlete, fitness ambassador, and Olympic Gold Medalist Missy Franklin. "One of the most difficult parts of swimming for fitness is keeping track of laps and the Speedo Shine eliminates that challenge,” said Franklin. “With the Speedo Shine, you can focus on getting the most out of your water workout and it’s also a great looking accessory to wear.” 
Speedo Shine is made out of durable and beautiful aircraft-grade aluminum and is offered in new light silver color, Pure. Like the original Misfit Shine, Speedo Shine is waterproof to 50 meters. Extremely thin and comfortable, the device is meant to be worn both in and out of the water, and also tracks walking, running, cycling, and light and deep sleep. Since it never requires charging, Speedo Shine makes activity, sleep, and swim tracking a seamless experience. 

The Budget Friendly Huawei Y360

Posted by Payton Wilmott On Wednesday, August 19, 2015 0 comments



It seems like LIME has a couple of tricks up their sleeves this summer. The Huawei Y360 is a hidden gem for persons looking a decent Smartphone that won’t kill your bank account. Last year LIME had the Huawei Ascend Y330 on special and it was a good phone for the price at the time, but now there is a new king in town and we’ll see why that is so. This week we will take a look at the next upcoming rage in the family of budget phones that goes by the name of Huawei Y360. Let’s see what this phone has in store for us.
Huawei Y360 Specification

  • OS Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat
  • FM Radio
  • 5MP Rear Camera and 2MP Front Facing Camera
  • Dual LED Flash
  • Bluetooth V4.0
  • Micro SD Card Support
  • 4’’ Touch screen display
The box for Huawei Y360 seems to neglect essential information that most users and potential buyers want to see… deja vu?  Fortunately, I still know my way around the Android OS well enough to find it out for myself. So the rest of the specification is as follows. 

  • Quad Core 1.2GHz Processor
  • 512MB Of RAM
  • 4GB of internal Storage
  • Mali – 400MP2 GPU

Build Quality and Design

The Huawei Y360 is built and looks a bit similar to the DL 750 from Digicel, but the similarities stop there. The phone has a removable battery and a memory card slot, but don’t go expecting a 4GB memory card included because this bad boy doesn’t come with a free memory card.  The construction is all plastic; like you expected better at that price point… really?? The Huawei Y360 isn’t an eye sore like most low-priced phones on the market, and it is small enough for person who despises huge phones.  Also, it might not seem like much but the navigation buttons are not backlit for ease of use in the dark. So, you will be fumbling in the dark to find the back and home buttons.

Camera Quality

The Huawei Y360 has a 5MP camera, but it seems to out shoot most 8MP in its budget phone category. Just goes to show that numbers doesn’t mean a thing when it comes to camera quality. That being said, the camera isn’t bad at all. It takes pretty decent day light photos and an average night shot. But I’ll let you be the judge of that with the sample photo I have provided.

Performance

This phone feels like it has a bullet for a processor! It considerable faster than the Huawei Ascend Y330 and you’ll certainly notice it the first time you get it in your hands. The only thing holding this phone back is the limited amount of RAM, which is sad. If this device had at least 1GB of RAM it would have been the king of budget phones for years to come. This phone has the processing power to handle any game you can fit on the internal storage without struggling.
Display
  
A decent display these days is a must for Smartphone that you’ll be using for all your media intake. Your Smartphone is always going to be the one stop place for movies, games and pictures. The Huawei Y360 does an OK job in the display department, but there is certainly room for improvement when it comes to screen brightness.
Outstanding Features

We all know by now that the DL750 from Digicel had a TV function that makes you watch local TV stations. Well the Huawei Y360 has the best specification you can buy for a budget Smartphone excluding the TV functionality. It still has radio, which is still a big plus in my books, but no TV. I know a couple persons might take a step back because of the lack TV functionality, but I’ll urge you to take a look at all the other positive this small dynamite of a phone has before you make any rash choices. Make sure to take into account that the Huawei Y360 is the only quad-core processor phone you will find for less than $10,000 dollars right now.
Finally Thoughts
The Huawei line of phones has grown considerable since their conception in our market, and our market strongly needs more budget Smartphones. The Huawei Y360 is the new value Smartphone from LIME that truly has value. The product mentioned in this article was provided courtesy of LIME.
