Microsoft Band 2 pitted against Apple Watch and Samsung Gear S2: What's the verdict? Microsoft last month unveiled its latest wearable device, an updated version of the Microsoft Band named Band 2.
The Band 2 has got a much better design than the original Microsoft Band, featuring improved fitness tracking capabilities and a number of new smart wearable features.
Samsung Gear 2 and Apple Watch are two devices which will pose a tough challenge for Band 2. Here we are comparison these three devices to find out which is better:
The Band 2 has a curved display with a simple, sporty design, including a flat black strap that hooks together with a subtle clip.
The Samsung Gear S2 looks like a real watch with a round face and a sporty design with the band itself made of plastic. The Gear S2 is fairly thin at 11.4mm (0.45 inches).
The Apple Watch offers a square display and is a little thinner than the Gear S2: it measure 10.5mm (0.41 inches) thick.
The display of Band 2 is 32mm x 12.8mm (1.26 x 0.5 inches) and the resolution is 320 x 128 pixels.
The Gear S2 offers a display that's 1.2-inches across, has a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels and a pixel density of 302 pixels-per-inch.
On the other hand, the Apple Watch is available with two display options. The first is 38mm (1.5 inches) diagonal, with a resolution of 340 x 272 pixels. The second display is 42mm (1.65inches), and has a resolution of 390 x 312 pixels.
Microsoft is yet to reveal the processor, storage capacity or RAM on the Microsoft Band, making it impossible to judge this device on those front. Apple also doesn't generally offer much information about its processors. As far as storage is concerned, the Samsung Gear S2 has 4GB, while the Apple Watch packs 8GB. Both devices offer 512MB of RAM.
The Gear S2 offers a 1GHz Exynos processor, and the Apple Watch features an Apple S1 chip.
