Samsung Galaxy Gear – Gear 5

Samsung has been quietly burnishing its reputation as a manufacturer of high tech wonders, and the Gear 5 is no exception. It’s probably the closest thing to a true competitor that the Apple Smart Watch has, and everything you’ll love about it, you’ll also enjoy about the Gear 5. Plenty of native apps and features, and you can always install more to suit your individual tastes, the features that really distinguish the Gear from other smart watches is its fantastic curved AMOLED display, giving it a sleek and futuristic appearance.

Using it, you can answer calls via its connection with your smart phone, check your emails, and control it (including composing messages) either via the full QWERTY keyboard or voice command, as you prefer. Note, however, that owing to the small size of the screen, the full keyboard is nice, but requires a deft touch or really small fingers to actually use! It’s cheaper than the offering by Apple, coming in at just $199.
