Samsung recently showcased its Gear S3, but the pricing and availability of the device weren’t revealed earlier. Now some new online reports suggest that the smartwatch will arrive on November 4.
According to SamMobile, Samsung will launch Gear S3 smartwatch on November 4. Samsung Netherland’s Twitter handle doesn’t mention if the release date is for all regions or just Europe.
Major US carriers have already confirmed that they will carry the Gear S3 and that the smartwatch will be released later this year.
Talking of specifications, the Gear S3 comes with a 46mm casing and a 1.3-inch display with 360 x 360 pixel resolution. The display will be protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass SR+, specially designed for smartwatches.
It is powered by a dual-core 1.0GHz Exynos 7270 processor, 4GB of internal memory, and 768MB of RAM. IP68 certification is also available, which means that the smartwatch is protected from damage that could occur due to water and dust.
The latest Samsung smartwatches offer always-on color displays, dust and water resistance features, a built-in speaker and GPS location-finding technology. They also enable users to make mobile payments in countries where Samsung Pay is available.
The new Gear S3 Frontier model has a rugged outdoor look, while the Gear S3 Classic has a more refined appearance, but both watches feature large faces that are likely to appeal mainly to male consumers.
