Abstract: It's been just over a week since we unboxed the new Samsung Gear 2 Neo smartwatch and in that time, we've put the original Galaxy Gear back in its box and switched to checking out every hidden facet of Samsung's latest wearable. From the journey of a Gala...

Cheaper and slightly better value than the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo is a better proposition than the more expensive Samsung smartwatch. But that's faint praise, so we're still waiting for the smartwatch that convinces us it's worth owning....

Open Gallery Having said all that about the looks, we'd still take the Neo over the Gear 2 . Losing the camera really isn't a loss at all, and while the Neo is less premium, the Gear 2 isn't that gorgeous to begin with. £180 is still a load to ...

Abstract: Alongside the Galaxy S5 last Friday, Samsung also launched its range of new smartwatches. Announced at Mobile World Congress 2014 in February this year, the Gear 2 , Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit are now available to buy in the UK . The Gear Fit features the wo...
The Gear 2 Neo is the second in Samsung's range newest generation of wrist-based devices and arguably the better of the two. It's annoying that the issue of price still hasn't been addressed, but given that it's running a lower spec than the main Gear 2 w...
The Gear 2 Neo fails in a lot of areas. It doesn't offer touchless voice-control; it forces users to install a small army of apps in order to access deeper health metrics; the Tizen app store is bare; the Neo requires manual activation for its sensor suit...
