This is what the Samsung Gear S2 looks like on someone's wrist

Samsung will finally announce its first round smartwatch on September 3 at IFA in Berlin. In the meantime, the Korean company has been teasing its next wearable, outing various renders showing it, and even a promo video of sorts.
What we haven't yet seen however is what the Samsung Gear S2 actually looks like on someone's wrist. Well, here it is now.


This image was posted on Instagram by Dennis Miloseski, a Samsung VP who is Head of Studio, Samsung Design America as well as Head of Samsung Mobile UXCA. So it's obviously legit. Furthermore, it aligns perfectly with the teaser images that the company has released so far.
According to previously leaked and rumored specs, the Gear S2 should come with a rotating bezel, a 360x360 touchscreen, an Exynos 3472 chipset with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and a 450MHz Mali-400 MP4 GPU, 768MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, an accelerometer, a gyro, a barometer, a heart rate monitor, and a 250 mAh battery. It will run a special version of Tizen.

Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch rumored to include nano SIM card

We've already seen Samsung tease the upcoming Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch, which is expected to be unveiled September 3rd in Berlin, the day before the IFA show is set to kick off. We already know that the timepiece will feature a round display, and comes with a metal build. Rotating the bezel will allow users to navigate the UI.

According to a report out of Italy that was published today, the Gear S2 will come with a nano SIM slot allowing the device to connect to a cellular network. This means that users of the watch will be able to make/take calls from their wrist, open apps and browse the web without having to pair with a smartphone. The intelligent time piece will also feature Wi-Fi connectivity. 

The Samsung Gear S offers the same functionality, and also has a SIM card slot and Wi-Fi connectivity. While both run on Tizen, and are expected to be priced in a similar range (one rumor has the Gear S2 wearing a price tag equivalent to $462 USD), you would not say that the two look anything alike. The Gear S has a curved rectangular screen in contrast to the rounded design of the sequel.

Before you know it, September 3rd will be here and Samsung will clue us in to all of the specs, pricing and availability of its second stand-alone smartwatch. Stay tuned!
