A new revelation has spilled the beans on the hardware powering the Samsung Gear 2 and the Gear 2 Neo smartwatches. It has been confirmed that the two new wearable devices come with a dual core Exynos 3250 chipset under the hood clocked at 1 GHz. This is in comparison to the 800 MHz chip found in the Galaxy Gear from last September.

Samsung has just issued a new update to the Gear Fit smartwatch which fixes the display orientation issue. This update will now allow users to check details on the smartwatch vertically rather than just horizontally from an awkward angle.

When Samsung launched the Gear 2 and the Gear Fit smartwatches last month, it was widely believed that these devices are running the Tizen OS. However, it has now come to light that only the Gear 2 is running Tizen while the Gear Fit runs on real-time operating system or RTOS.

Samsung has just announced that it will give users around the world an early preview of its newly launched devices such as the Galaxy S5, Gear 2 and the Gear Fit. The Korean manufacturer will show off these new offerings in over 61 countries, with the U.S. and Switzerland slated to get it right away from March 21.

Samsung has seemingly confirmed the pricing of the Gear 2 and the Gear Fit smartwatches in Taiwan, much to the joy of local customers. And evidently, the Korean manufacturer has learnt from its past mistakes and is going with a slightly cheaper price tag.
