What changes we are willing to see in the Galaxy Gear 2


Samsung released the Galaxy gear, a wearable smart watch which acts as a companion for your Samsung (High End) device. You could receive calls, record video read messages and so on....in short, you could leave your phone in your car while you enjoy the party and never miss a call again... Though i loved the watch but i would really really like samsung to do some changes which would make users as well as samsung happy (profit!!)

1. COMPATIBILITY

The Galaxy Gear as of now, supports only a couple of devices namely Galaxy Note 3, Note 2, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Mega. But Samsung , you got it all wrong! Had the Gear been supported on all Android devices , the sales would've tripled and every one could've owned it instead of just some particular users. I'd really like to see Samsung make this change happen in the next version.

2. COST

The Galaxy Gear costs a ridiculous Rs. 15,290. This price tag got many people to think ten times before buying it. Rs 15,290? Seriously Samsung!? Hell, if i had 15,290 to spend on something, i'd rather buy a brand new Android smartphone with a quad core processor or a tab... There's plenty of 'em in this price range (See also: Which tablet to buy under Rs. 20,000). Though i would've preferred buying gear if it sold for around Rs. 8000..

3. DESIGN

Everyone knows about the Apple iPod touch nano (6th generation), right? That square shaped iPod with capacitive touch which could be worn on the wrist and become an uber cool watch. One of my cousins had it and i wore it once and everyone around me was like "Dude, where'd you get that thing, it looks so high tech". Well, the galaxy gear looks good but isn't all that elegant and stylish as i'd like it to be. Samsung should make the band detachable so that people could buy different colored bands (or even bands made of different material) and make it a little more stylish.

4. BATTERY

The Galaxy Gears currently runs on a 350 mAh battery and lasts about 2 days. Although this is not bad, but being a wearable smart watch, the Gear should last at least 8-10 days as people would like to wear it and forget when it is about to run out. 


According to the New York Times, the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Galaxy Gear 2 might launch in just about 2 weeks, that's right! Samsung might unveil these 2 devices at MWC instead of it's own special event.
  
That's it, if Samsung does these Necessary changes, it might be a marvelous product which everyone would want to buy. Got your own suggestions? Tell me in the comments!
