Samsung looks all set to release its multifunctional smartwatch, the Samsung Gear S3, in mid-November this year. It comes in two models for the users. For a timeless and formal look, users can choose the Samsung Gear S3 Classic whereas those aiming for a rugged look can lay their lands on Samsung Gear S3 Frontier.
Reports cite that the smartwatch offers some extraordinary features for the users to look out for. It comes with a built-in GPS, a speedometer, altimeter, heart rate sensor and a barometer. Other notable features of the Samsung Gear S3 are 4G LTE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Both the models boast of a 1.3 inch 360 x 360 Super AMOLED round display that comes with a Gorilla glass SR+ and an all new improved Rotating Bezel. This rotating bezel has been upgraded on the Samsung Gear S3. It can perform multiple functions such as read messages, snooze alarms, set timers, adjust volumes, cancel or answer calls and zoom or scroll to any app.
In addition, the Samsung S3 comes with a dual-core 1.0 GHz processor and has a 768 GB RAM. The internal storage is set to 4GB. The Samsung Gear S3 is powered by a 380 mAh battery, which interestingly serves up to four days even under non-stop usage.
The device runs on the 9 Tizen operating system. This operating system allows the user to access over 10,000 applications in the Tizen store. The Samsung Gear S3 also comes with a Gear VR. However, the specifications of the VR has been kept under wraps by Samsung.
Reports by GSM Arena indicate that the Samsung Gear S3 will be launched in mid-November, presumably on Nov. 18 in Korea. Along with Korea, the device is also scheduled for launch in the United States, Canada and major European nations. China, however, has been excluded from the first wave of release.
The Samsung Gear S3 will be priced at KRW 400,000 ($357 or €325). In Canada, the device will be available for CA$469.99.
