The Design

Samsung Gear S2 flaunts a light and compact design with a circular face. It is offered in two versions – Standard and Classic – to cater to different types of users.

The standard variant is perfect for those who love minimalist design with its silver or dark-gray finish and white or gray wristband. The fashion-conscious may find the classic version of the Samsung Gear S2 more appealing given its black chassis and a matching leather strap.

The models have a thickness of 11.4 millimetres, but the standard weighs 47 grams while the classic is 42 grams. The wearable is fitted with a 1.2-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels and a pixel density of 302 pixels per inch.

The display of the Gear S2 boasts a rotatable bezel, which very likely will be used for controls together with the Home and Back buttons.
