Samsung Gear S3 Smartwatch to Launch in India on January 10

Unveiled at IFA 2016 in September, Samsung Gear S3 Frontier and Gear S3 Classic went on sale in South Korea back in October. The smartwatches have since been launched in markets like US, Canada, UK and Europe, but there have been no reports of them coming to India until now. According to a SamMobile report, Samsung will be launching the Gear S3 series in India sometime in January 2017.


The Gear S3 series comes with LTE connectivity (for the Gear S3 Frontier), mobile payments, GPS, built-in speakers and come with IP68 water resistance. The smartwatch series also comes with a Speedometer app, altimeter/barometer apps and the S Health app. Gear S3 series features two watches, the Classic and the Frontier. The Gear S3 Classic with a minimalist design, while the Gear S3 Frontier with a rugged outdoor look, a bigger watch face and brighter bands.


The Gear S3 focuses on improvements in almost all quarters -- display size, protection, more RAM, more and improved options for fitness tracking and more importantly better battery life -- over its predecessor, according to Samsung. On the face of it however, the Gear S3 sticks close to the Gear S2, in that it still features a round dial with a rotating bezel, deeply integrated with the smartwatch's Tizen OS.

It comes with a 1.3-inch Super AMOLED display with a 360x360 pixels resolution which is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass SR+ panel, specifically designed for wearables. The USP of the smartwatch is said to be its Full Colour Always-On Display mode -- taken from Samsung's Galaxy range phones -- which, according to Samsung, allows the screen to display 16 million colours even during sleep mode.


The Gear S3 is IP68 certified for water and dust resistance, with the rugged Frontier variant also featuring military grade protection and shock resistance capabilities. The dial is carved out of jewellery-grade 360L stainless steel. On the inside, the smartwatch is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor clubbed with 768MB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and MST (for mobile payments using Samsung Pay) and GPS. The Frontier additionally supports LTE for independent voice-calling via dedicated microphone and speaker on-board the smartwatch.

Cheers!!!
