Samsung to unveil multiple Galaxy Gear 2 models, might run Tizen OS

The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 24th will unveil the new Galaxy S5 smartphone, which includes a fingerprint sensor and improved LED flash. What else?

Samsung will unveil multiple Gear models

USA Today reported that Samsung will also reveal multiple Galaxy Gear 2 smartwatches. Incredibly, it is reported that the new Gear will run Tizen operating system, not Google's Android. This will prevent Google from tightening its grip on wearable technology, or giving them "too much power".

The Tizen OS is built off a new HTML5, thus prolonging battery life, according to people familiar with the situation. Since its first version failed miserably, expect a massive overhaul of the Galaxy Gear in this 2nd iteration.
