Samsung executive shows off the Gear S2 ahead of launch

Ahead of its September 3 launch at the IFA trade show in Berlin, Samsung has fully revealed the design of its much anticipated smartwatch, the Gear S2. As part of the company’s latest teaser, a Samsung executive has posted an image of the wearable on his Instagram account showing off the Gear S2 in its full glory.

In this image, Samsung Design America’s Head Dennis Miloseski appears to be wearing the Gear S2, which we have already seen in a number of promos earlier teased by the Taiwanese company.

Miloseski, who is also heading Samsung Mobile UXCA, wrote in his Instagram post, “Giving the new Samsung Gear S2 a test drive. #samsung #watch #wearable #nextlevel.”

If you are curious about the wearable’s internal specifications, you may have to wait for its official release next month, but rumors have been suggesting that the smartwatch will feature a 360×360 display, a dual-core Exynos 3472 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 768MB of RAM, 4GB of storage and 250 mAh battery. Rumors are also rife that the Gear S2 could come with a nano SIM card slot in addition to a host of sensors including accelerometer, barometer and a heart rate monitor. On the software front, it is likely to run a special version of Tizen.
