| Sep 25, 2015 01:28 PM EDT

Samsung's new Gear S2 smartwatch is pictured at a event beside the consumer electronics trade fair IFA in Berlin, Germany.

Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. launched its first ever circular smartwatch device called the Huawei Watch last week. The smartwatch was first unveiled earlier this year at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 event in Barcelona, Spain.

Also, South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics is preparing to launch its latest circular smartwatch as well, called the Gear S2, as a successor to last year's Gear S. Like its predecessor, the new Gear S2 runs on the Tizen operating system (OS), but sports a circular design.

In terms of the specifications and features, here is the difference between the two new smartwatches:

Huawei Watch

The Huawei Watch sports a 1.4-inch AMOLED display screen with a 400 x 400 pixel resolution, and comes with dust and water resistance capability. This watch is also covered by sapphire crystal and stainless steel.

Under the hood, the Huawei Watch packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory space and a 300 mAh battery. Unlike Samsung's Gear S2, Huawei's device runs on the latest Android Wear OS.

Samsung Gear S2

Samsung Gear S2 sports a smaller 1.2-inch Super AMOLED display screen with a 360 x 360 pixel resolution. Inside, it will come with a dual-core as well, a 512MB RAM, accompanied by a 4GB internal memory.

Like its predecessor, the Gear S2 device will also support HERE Maps, Android Headlines reported. On top of this, what makes Samsung's latest smartwatch stand out from the rest is its ability to allow users to scroll through apps by turning the bezel around.

The South Korean company had confirmed its Gear S2 will be released next month in the North American market, including the U.K., South Korea and Australia, and that another version which supports 3G connectivity will be available at a later time, according to CNET.
