    Does the Gear 2 Neo have a camera?
    alonso

    The only other difference is that the Gear 2 Neo lacks a camera. That's no big deal. While the Gear 2 features a 2-megapixel sensor at the top, photos taken with the watch can't compare to even basic smartphone cameras.

    jennie

    About Samsung Gear 2 Neo This smartwatch is lightweight and has a robust body that is made of Stainless Steel. Moreover, the watch is extremely comfortable to wear and is waterproof since the weigh of the watch is around 55 grams.

    Can Samsung Gear 2 work without phone?
    versie.kutch
    over 1 year ago
    Almost all smartwatches will work without a phone. Apps that don't require an Internet connection will work fine without your phone. That includes the time, alarm clock, timer, stopwatch, and watch sensors for health tracking.

    As with the Gear 2 the Gear 2 Neo is lighter, thinner and decidedly better built. It's also waterproof, which means that should you get caught in the rain you won't be legging it for the nearest bus shelter.

    Does samsung gear 2 neo have a camera?
    zachariah
    about 2 years ago
    It doesn't have a camera. Take a look at the new design for yourself. The Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo, both announced at Mobile World Congress, are Samsung's two newest smartwatches, successors to last fall's Galaxy Gear. The Gear 2 Neo is very similar to the Gear 2, but it is slightly lighter and missing a camera.

    Is the Gear S2 still worth buying?
    trent
    over 1 year ago
    Update: The Samsung Gear S2 is still a fine choice if you're an Android user, but there are a few reasons that you may want to consider the Samsung Gear S3. The Gear S3 features a larger battery, has GPS built-in and offers a bit more RAM than the Gear S2.

Review: Samsung Gear 2 Neo smartwatch

We reviewed Samsung's Gear 2 smartwatch when it launched in April, but we skipped its sibling, the Gear 2 Neo. With only minor differences between the two, we figured the one review could speak for both watches. Well, Samsung's smartwatch platform has grown in the last four months, so let's see how…
