Samsung Galaxy Note 3 red & gold: made 1

Here’s what could the Galaxy Note 3 red and gold look.

Images that do not necessarily reflect reality, of course.

Anyway, new colors or not, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will not change one bit and so we will still be entitled to this funny plastic shell so leatherette a shell with real fake stitching on the edges. The technical specifications remain unchanged , with a Super AMOLED screen Full HD 5.7 inch display capable of a definition 1080p type a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 2.3 GHz 800, Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB RAM, 32 GB of storage space, a micro SD card port, a sensor 13 million pixels, a front camera 2 million pixels and a battery of 3200 mAh.

Testing the Samsung Galaxy Gear, quickly shipped! - Frandroid

The purpose of the Samsung Galaxy Gear starts with the assumption that everyone can check with his smartphone. Would not it be easier to just give a look at our wrists?

Galaxy-Gear-watch-Samsung-FrAndroid SAM_0200

The concept of connected objects is fashionable, it has created several niche markets related to sports or health, however, no manufacturer has managed to democratize these devices to the general public. Samsung will it be the first? Response in the test of the Galaxy Gear.


A technological feat

Galaxy Gear connects to a Samsung Galaxy Android device 4.3 or higher (currently, only the Galaxy Note 3, the latest Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) and soon the Galaxy S4 are compatible, but more and more devices are designed to be compatible when they upgrade to Android 4.3) via Bluetooth 4.0, and it is a kind of second screen for your smartphone / tablet.

Updated: Samsung Galaxy S4 is compatible recently (with the update to Android 4.3 update) and the Galaxy Note 2. It is also possible to install custom ROM, but these methods are dedicated to insiders.

other connected watches the tiny 1.63-inch touchscreen displays your incoming e-mails, text messages, and other notifications.

Galaxy-Gear-watch-Samsung-FrAndroid SAM_0163

Galaxy Gear is primarily a technological feat. This little box contains many components:

  • Exynos processor clocked at 800 MHz
  • Android 4.2.2
  • 1.63 inch Super AMOLED 320 x 320 pixels resolution
  • 1.9 megapixel camera sensor with BSI sensor (capable of shooting 720p)
  • 2 microphones, 1 speaker
  • Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy)
  • Accelerometer, gyroscope
  • 4GB storage
  • 512 MB RAM
  • 315 mAh battery

It looks like a watch …

Because you have purchased a Galaxy Note and Galaxy 3 Gear, you probably expect quality products. Galaxy Gear does not exudes superior quality, such as jewelry or high-end watches. It inspires the same feeling you get with a “sporty” product like Nike, Puma or Adidas. A good finish, among the best in the watch sector connected.

Galaxy-Gear-watch-Samsung-FrAndroid SAM_0116

Galaxy Gear has a hard plastic shell with a brushed metal facade, accented by four industrial screws in the corners, plus a glass touch screen. Bracelet welcomes photo sensor located so you can take photos directly from your wrist.

Galaxy-Gear-watch-Samsung-FrAndroid SAM_0201

The design is minimalist and rather neat, nevertheless several issues come to the downside. For example, holes visible microphone, power buttons that appear weak and camera sensor embossed on the wrist. Also note that regardless of your choice of color, this watch will never be discreet. It is disabling because it easily attracts the eye and this can be problematic.

Galaxy-Gear-watch-Samsung-FrAndroid SAM_0127

Another thing we do not know if it is a minimum resistance to water or (at least) splashing. I have not tried it, but it seems normal that a watch can withstand a few splashes, if you have more answers to give me about this ability, do not hesitate.

Galaxy-Gear-watch-Samsung-FrAndroid SAM_0195

microphone was placed on the upper left side of the dial screen, where the speaker is on the metal buckle. Therefore, if I raise my hand to the ear, the watch is able to automatically answer a call and vice versa because of the gyroscope and accelerometer integrated.


What she can do

Once synchronized, it will then be possible to interact with its functionality swipant (receive and make calls while viewing the contacts list), check SMS, view your mails, check the weather and notifications, capture photos and make short videos, direct audio player, access voice memos text and even use ChatOn (instant messaging).

Samsung Galaxy Gear is also intended for athletes with applications such as MyFitnessPal, RunKeeper, TripIt, but also other applications such as Banjo to view news social networks, Evernote to capture important moments and view its list of things to do, Find My Phone for her smartphone, Auto Lock to lock and unlock your smartphone remotely and even S Voice … this works thanks to the integrated pedometer.

Samsung Galaxy Gear is packed with pre-installed features. Among the most important include:

  • Give the time, date, weather, and his next appointment
  • Alarm: Able to be used as an alarm, it vibrates and can radiate sound
  • Camera: able to film and take photos
  • Telephone: receive incoming calls but make calls, with access to the directory
  • Sport: a single function pedometer (steps, distance, energy consumption)
  • Notifications: Displays SMS notifications, emails, etc.
  • .

  • SMS: SMS display, with an opportunity to respond with answers pre-configured
  • Voice Memos: Take voice notes with S Note
  • Voice Assistant: S Voice can give orders by
  • Voice

  • Loss: Find My Device function allows the phone to ring
  • Multimedia: Media Controller allows you to manage music on your Android device with simple controls (pause, stop, next, previous, etc..)

Regarding the third software package … it is limited in quantity and quality. You will find, for example, eBay, Path, Evernote and RunKeeper, however these are very limited applications that provide access to certain features.

Update: The software package evolves slowly … but it is still far from sufficient

available applications are not many, it is not found substantially as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Deezer, Spotify or Gmail. In addition, Samsung does not publicly provide the tools to develop its application on Galaxy Gear must – a priori -. Skip an agreement with the Korean giant

applications are available through the Galaxy Gear Manager. Samsung channel and a single owner to distribute these apps. Probably preferred a more “open” approach. For example, a Sony competitor has chosen to fully open ecosystem by allowing any developer to start developing mini apps, and choosing the Google Play to distribute these mini apps.

Another thing, if you want to buy a Galaxy Gear, you will automatically have a smartphone the Samsung Galaxy range Android 4.3 with TouchWiz. It seems that Samsung does not have great ambitions for its shows connected …

feature that I was most blown away rest S-Voice. This voice assistant, although far from the most reliable, can send SMS, take pictures, launch applications … with the voice. Almost like we would have Google Glass, almost.

ATN Manager allows you to configure its notification, it is possible you will be alerted to receive e-mail on Gmail or tweet. However, you can not then access the content via the watch, you will get your Android smartphone. Fault, again, a lack of third-party applications.

Update: Since the last update of the Gear (I did not test for lack of product), it would be able to configure third-party notifications such as Gmail or Twitter.


and her camera sensor?

At first glance, everything suggests that the Galaxy Gear is a watch made for spies with this mini hidden camera above the screen and the plastic melted and the color of the bracelet.

Clearly, this mini camera 1.9 Megapixel go completely unnoticed on a black bracelet, knowing that all components are of the same color. To continue on the technical aspect of this software and BSI Sensor camera, a very simple application lets you capture crisp, clear photos with autofocus, but also videos in high-definition (720p) about 10 seconds .

Galaxy-Gear-watch-Samsung-FrAndroid SAM_0153

Take pictures with the Gear … it’s a frustrating experience. Because the camera angle is almost parallel to the screen, you end up lowering your wrist and twisting your neck to see the viewfinder correctly and activate the trigger (anywhere on the screen). If you are not super picky about the composition that you can take, the pictures are quite acceptable.

photos produced are 4:3 (1280 x 960) or 1:1 (1392 x 1392) and videos in 720p format (limited to 10 seconds maximum). The format of the product pictures is rather … unusual. Note that you can configure the watch to automatically transfer photos to your Galaxy smartphone.

Hack!

Galaxy Gear is a technological feat … Moreover, hackers are fun. It is possible to “rooter” and modify the software part to install full Android.

scre1en (1)

touch screen Gear is surprisingly sensitive. While Candy Crush certainly pushes the touch screen to its limits, with a little practice, it is very controllable.

course, the screen size limits the use, however it works. Live the adventure, if you are a talented and siphoned minimum, at least.

Our verdict

Galaxy Gear is like a mirror reflecting the strengths and weaknesses of Samsung. It is a watch connected chock full of features, and its timing could not be better – the tech world waited impatiently era of the Internet of Things. But like many products in this market, it does not happen on our shelves in a convincing manner.

When it comes to online shows, we need a pioneer who shows us why we need tiny computers on our wrists when we already have in our pockets. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Gear proves that Samsung is not this company.

Its low autonomy, its limited functionality and application ecosystem make it a draft … rather successful. Some features are questionable, such as photo sensor, which remains a social strangeness. Limited with Android (only Galaxy Android 4.3) devices and the price (300 euros) integration should limit its success … few buyers Galaxy Note 3.

  • feat technology
  • Poverty supply software
  • Too many limitations …
