The announcement of the Samsung Gear Sport a few months ago came as a bit of a surprise, because it wasn’t exactly the idea of an upgrade for the Gear S3 smartwatch that most people had in their minds. Instead of a full next step à la a Gear S4 – which is now expected alongside the Galaxy S9 launch – Samsung gave us a half step, in the form of the Gear Sport.
This new wearable has a smaller footprint than the Gear S3, whose bulkiness was a major complaint. It’s 4.5mm shorter, 3mm narrower, 1.3mm thinner and 12g lighter (without the strap). Millimeters and grams might not seem like much when talking about most products, but every little bit makes a difference for a thing that you put on your wrist.
Samsung is a well-known company to provides the latest software updates to its Wearable, smartphone, and other devices regularly. The company’s old Gear Sport and Gear S3 smartwatches started getting a new firmware update, which brings the latest Tizen OS to build. The official changelog for the Gear Sport isn’t mentioned.
The version of Tizen OS remains unchanged at 4.0.0.7, however, the changelog mentions improved Wi-Fi stability, which is a welcomed change given the nature of these non-LTE smartwatches and their reliance on Wi-Fi for connectivity.
