Following the launch of their Galaxy Gear in late 2013, Samsung have unveiled two new smart-watches at Mobile World Congress.

The Galaxy Gear 2 and Galaxy Gear Neo will both have 1.6-ich screens and will run applications once connected to a smartphone.

Building upon the features from the Galaxy Gear, the Gear 2 will have a 2 megapixel camera whilst the Gear Neo will not have a camera, but will be considerably thinner.

One feature of both watches set to make Samsung users happy is their compatibility with several smart-phones, unlike the Galaxy Gear which only paired with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

The devices are set to be available from April, with pricing information to follow shortly.

Samsung are leading the way in the wearable technology sector. Sony’s SmartWatch 2 was released earlier last year, but the operating system felt too clunky to rival the slick Galaxy Gear.

Apple are expected to reveal their first attempt at a smart-watch later this year.
