As the age of smartwatches continued to gain ground, a notable piece is the Samsung Gear S2. It is one of the best looking wearables to consider in the market to date since debuting in September of 2015.
Though the Samsung Gear S2 is aesthetically pleasing, its features leave a lot to be desired. When compared to other smartwatches like the Apple Watch, the Korean company will need to tweak that department a bit to reel in more interested buyers.
Massive update coming for Samsung Gear S2
Samsung has taken note of that pitch and is reportedly planning a massive update for the Samsung Gear S2, Sam Mobile reported. Among the features mentioned include better workout integration that can be shared on Facebook, broader choices on personal wallpaper preference and more.
The two alleged features are only some of the changes to expect from Samsung on the Gear S2. Phandroid notes that these improvements could be in focus for the wearable at IFA where the successor to the Samsung Gear S2 is expected to be announced.
Speculated improvements to come
Aside from the exercise and photo wallpaper improvements, the rumor mill has hinted at the other potential improvements.
That includes the inclusion of a sleep monitor, the ability to use the timer with the aid of S Voice plus new menus and notifications. There are likely more features worth noting but those are the ones currently at the top of the grapevine list.
With regards to the Samsung Gear S2 release date, the massive patch is expected to be out in the coming weeks. Seeing how the update is being termed as “massive”, Samsung is likely making sure that all bugs are covered to avoid drawing the ire of Samsung Gear S2 owners.
With a Samsung Gear S2 successor looming, the said update is a fitting gift for the ones who own the smart wearable before the Samsung Gear S3 takes the limelight at IFA 2016 which will be held in Berlin this September.
