The Korean giant has uncovered its Samsung Gear S last year and finally, it’s rumored to be made available in the market this month. This will be the company’s 6th smart watch but just recently, the giant manufacturer Apple has unveiled the much awaited by many people which is called the Apple Watch. Right now, so many people are wondering how this Apple device compares with Samsung’s latest offering. Let’s try to answer this with a few details about the two.
Design
There are many differences between Samsung and Apple’s offerings and design is just one of them. When it comes to this section, it can be noted that the Gear S is more bulky with a curved display and just one button under it. The device’s wristband is the same with a regular watch and looks like an extension of the gear itself. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch display is very concentrated with a rectangular look which the manufacturer refers to as the Digital Crown that is situated on the its side for zooming in and out of maps and pictures and scrolling through one screen and another.
Display
There are two versions of the Apple Watch that the potential users can choose from—one is a 1.5-inch unit and another is a 1.65-inch screen with both options benefiting from the sapphire glass technology. With this Apple device, the user can go from one screen to another and be able to access applications. In case the screen is turned off, it’s very easy to put it back to life again and that is by just moving your wrist a little bit.
As for the display of the Samsung Gear S, the manufacturer decided to come up with a 2-inch device with uses a Super AMOLED technology which is almost always present in the smartphones newly released by Samsung. Its screen dimension of 360×480 displays the content of the user and in case he wants to access some features of the device, he only needs to press the physical button which can be found under it.
Customizability
It is very important for the two devices to be customizable because of the fact that a watch is intended to be worn on the wrists. As far as Apple is concerned, it went above and beyond other smartwatches available in the market today with a design which is extremely customizable. Those who would like to buy the Apple Watch can choose between two different sizes, three types of materials used and a number of wristband choices. The Samsung Gear S has options too but only in the colors of its smartwatches.
If you are not able to decide yet which device to buy, that’s fine. You can take your time studying your options because the Samsung Gear S is still yet to be released in the market this month while the Apple Watch is expected to be launched next year.
