Asus has used the Computex which has just started in Taiwan to formalize its second shows Android Wear. She was baptized logically ZenWatch 2 and comes in two sizes. Other innovations have been made to the exterior, but obviously little inside.

 Computex is not as important as are living the CES or MWC but its location makes it an ideal setting for Asus. It is held annually in Taiwan, maker of the cradle. It therefore does not lack to participate and often even presents them with some important innovations. The 2015 edition has just opened its doors. Asus had the honor to open the ball with press conferences, including the presentation of a new ZenWatch.

 Recall that the ZenWatch was presented as part of the IFA 2014 in Germany, as the first watch of the Taiwanese Android Wear of the. Since then he has completed its offer watches connected with VivoWatch, a model designed to last without the Google OS. An absence obviously noticed. A question arose: Asus had he given up on Android Wear? An answer was given on the occasion of ZenFone 2 in India. It was negative but no new ZenWatch seemed then planned for 2015. What secretive.

 The ZenWatch 2 is there, of course with some improvements, as reported by our colleagues Android Authority. The first is the size. If the first model was retained, dial 41 mm and strap 22 mm, a new has been added to further please the small wrists. The measuring dials in this case 37 mm, while the bracelet loses 4 mm in width to 18 mm. The screen size is however not specified.

 All we know about him is that he is protected by a glass 2.5D (understand it is slightly domed) in Gorilla Glass 3. Also on the novelties of the radius are a crown-shaped button on the side whose functions have not been clarified and a IP67 certification that better protection against water (immersion up to 1m of water for 30 minutes) and dust (totally enclosed). The first was ZenWatch, to reiterate, IP55 certified.

 Asus seems to have mainly worked on the design for his second shows Android Wear. It has also brought no technical detail; if not the Qualcomm chipset was signed. As for the software side, only the remote control of the camera, improved, and a new fitness application have been discussed. Hard to blame him since it was the main asset of the first model. Hopefully at least he thought to integrate a Wi-Fi antenna to enjoy Android Wear 5.1 this time.

 No price or release date ZenWatch 2, we still unknown.
