SEOUL -- If the Samsung Gear 2 doesn't have enough features to suit your fancy, then Samsung has the answer for you with its latest smartwatch, the Gear S. The Gear S is Samsung's latest foray into the smartwatch market. The difference between the Gear, Gear 2, Gear Live and the new Gear S is that this one has the much rumored sim slot. Yes, it actually has cellular connectivity. Unfortunately, it's only up to 3G speeds, and not LTE, but remember it has limited space because its a watch. The Gear S is powered by a dual-core 1.0 Ghz processor and like the Gear 2 is running Tizen OS. It features a 2-inch curved SuperAMOLED display. Like the Galaxy S5, the Gear S also features Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi connectivity, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, heart rate, ambient light, and barometer sensors. However, it also features a UV sensor that's not on the Galaxy S5, but doesn't feature a camera like the Gear and Gear 2. The Gear 2 is also rated IP67 for dust and water resistance. Samsung says the Gear S will be released to the global market in phases beginning in October. Samsung did not mention the price for the new smartwatch.
