Unlike its predecessor, the Gear S2 not only works with Samsung devices, but also is compatible with most Android 4.4+ devices with at least 1.5GB of RAM. As yet, it will only be in sync with Tizen apps available on the smartwatch. Samsung says that there will be over 1,000 Tizen applications available at launch.
