The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 Aluminum offers a compelling combination of sleek design, robust fitness tracking features, and a user-friendly interface.
Display:
The watch features a circular 1.2-inch (40mm) or 1.4-inch (44mm) Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels. The display is bright, crisp, and offers good visibility outdoors, even under direct sunlight.
Camera:
The Galaxy Watch Active 2 Aluminum doesn’t have a dedicated camera. However, you can use the watch to remotely control your smartphone’s camera, allowing you to capture photos from your wrist.
Performance:
The watch is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 9110 dual-core processor paired with 768MB of RAM. This combination delivers smooth performance for navigating menus, tracking workouts, and using various watch apps.
Battery:
The battery life depends on usage, but you can expect to get around two days on a single charge with typical use. Factors like GPS usage and constant heart rate monitoring can drain the battery faster. The watch supports wireless charging for added convenience.
Storage:
The storage capacity is limited at 4GB, which primarily stores the watch’s operating system and apps. It’s enough for basic functionalities but may not be suitable for storing large amounts of music for offline playback.
Software:
The watch runs on Samsung’s Tizen OS 5.5, which offers a user-friendly interface with customizable watch faces and a rotating bezel for easy navigation. It provides access to a variety of fitness and lifestyle apps, along with notifications from your connected smartphone.
Connectivity:
The Aluminum version connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth. It allows you to receive notifications, make calls (with a connected LTE model), and control music playback on your phone. There’s also built-in Wi-Fi for downloading apps and software updates.
Sound:
The watch has a small speaker that can be used for alarms, notifications, and playing media sounds. While not ideal for music listening, it’s sufficient for basic audio needs.
