Samsung launches the Gear Fit2 Pro fitness band once again

-

It has been consistently rumored over the past couple of months that Samsung will launch a new fitness tracking band soon. The company actually published the official product page of the Gear Fit2 Pro ahead of schedule last week. The product page revealed all of the details about this device before it was eventually taken down.

Samsung officially launched the Gear Fit2 Pro fitness band at its IFA 2017 press conference today. It’s an upgraded version of the Gear Fit 2 from last year with new smart features.

The Gear Fit2 Pro measures 51mm x 25mm and weighs just 34 grams. It has a 1.5-inch AMOLED 216×432 pixel resolution touchscreen display. There’s a dual-core 1.0GHz processor under the hood with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. It’s built to the MID-STD-810G durability standard and has a 200mAh battery.

Swim tracking is the Gear Fit2 Pro’s biggest new feature. It’s water resistant up to 50 meters and provides swim tracking features courtesy of Speedo’s new app.

The Gear Fit2 Pro is also capable of automatically detecting activities like cycling, running, walking as well as dynamic activities like basketball and dancing.

The new wearable device supports local music playback. Users can access Spotify on the wearable device and even use its Offline mode to listen to their favorite tracks offline even when it’s not paired to their smartphone.

Connectivity options include Bluetooth v4.2, Wi-Fi b/g/n and GPS/GLONASS. It’s compatible with Android devices running Android 4.3 and up as well as select iPhones running iOS 9.0 and up.

It comes with a new secure and ergonomic band which is light weight and more comfortable to use. The Gear Fit2 Pro will be available in Black and Red colors.

The Gear Fit2 Pro is going to cost 229.99 euro. It will be released in Europe on September 9.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow.

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
