5/22/2023 0 Comments Galaxy s3 smart scrollWe'd recommend looking at both the Gear Sport and Galaxy Watch before deciding to buy the Gear S3 as the price is similar but this is an older device. The Gear S3 started life at $349/£349/AU$399, which is expensive for a smart timepiece. We've now seen the price drop to around $280 / £250, which isn't a huge discount considering it has since been replaced by the Gear Sport and Galaxy Watch. Now a bit cheaper, but worth considering the Gear Sport or Galaxy Watch. Out now in both Classic and Frontier flavors.So the Gear S3 has the right credentials, but is that enough? Or, with a number of functionally similar rivals on the market, is it too little too late for one of the biggest brands in phones, trying to convince us that we all need another smart device? Samsung Gear S3 price and release date Come on, do we really need the Samsung timer app just to count how many minutes until food is cooked?) When it comes to using the Gear S3 with non-Galaxy phones, for the purpose of this review we tested it with the Sony Xperia XZ and it performed just fine (apart from needing to install a million Samsung-specific apps to make it work. On top of that, the company has even replaced the Gear S3 with the Samsung Galaxy Watch. There's also now the more recent Samsung Gear Sport watch that has a smaller design, but is otherwise very similar to the Gear S3. The chances are that your current phone will work with the Samsung Gear S3, and, crucially, that you won't be locked in to a particular smartphone operating system or brand down the line. One of the key selling points is the fact the Gear S3 is compatible with the latest Samsung phones, but also with most other Android phones running version 4.4 of the OS or later, as long as they have at least 1.5GB of RAM.Īfter launch, the company also announced support for iOS devices, from the iPhone 5 onwards, as long as they're running at least iOS 9 software. So what's Samsung doing here? Is there really space for a third smartwatch operating system? Especially when it's on a device that charges a premium?
