News & Reviews:   Neptune Duo announce

The Neptune Pine smartwatch was a successfully funded kick starter project and featured a large 2.4-inch display and decent internal tech specs. Unlike other smart watches it was practically a smartphone on your wrist. Now, the same company is all set to launch another smartwatch in the market, this time with an external display. The new watch called the Neptune Duo will feature two different components, a smartwatch and a companion pocket screen that acts as an external display to the watch. The Neptune Hub, which is the smartwatch will feature a 2.4-inch display with a band like design which makes it look less bulky. Inside, there is a quad-core processor with features such as 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and even NFC. The Pocket Screen will sport a 5-inch 720p display with an 8MP rear camera with LED flash and a 2MP front facing shooter. There will be a 2800 mAh battery onboard, which means the user will have 3800 mAh capacity battery in total including the one in the smartwatch. This additional battery can be used to charge the Hub several times, giving it a few days worth battery life if you don't mind carrying a monitor for your smart watch. The Neptune Duo will start shipping sometime later this year for a price tag of $768 (RM2786) which is quite high in comparison to the earlier Neptune Pine.
