According to experts, the Gear S3 from Samsung could make its first market appearance late this year. There are rumors that the highly awaited launch could take place much early this year than previously expected. Before, there were speculations that the Gear S3 could be launched early September during the 2016 IFA. All these speculations were based on the fact that the Gear S2 first appeared on the market last year during the IFA event as pointed out by Pocket-lint.
However, there is a great possibility for this to change. In addition, Samsung’s speculated plans about the release of another eagerly awaited gadget can directly impact on the outcome of the new Samsung Gear S3 in the coming months.
According to an article done by the Digital Spy, the up-coming wearable from Samsung is greatly anticipated to be launched alongside another new device from the same company. Technology experts are convinced that the device to be launched by Samsung during this year’s IFA alongside the Gear S3 could be the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Previously, this gadget was known as the Samsung Galaxy Note 6.
If all these rumors are true and Samsung launches the Gear S3 alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, then the up-coming September IFA may turn out to be a launching platform for the new phablet rather than the new wearable. To avoid this confusion and ensure that the Gear S3 receives the attention it deserves, the new phablet should be launched a month earlier.
A previous report by ET News had revealed Samsung’s plans to introduce the Galaxy Note 7 on the market during a New York event to be held early August. As it now appears, the said New York event could be much bigger than previously speculated since more new products may be officially released in to the market.
Even if the launch of the new Samsung Gear S3 occurs this August, the following month will remain to be an important time for the wearable because it is speculated that the new wearable device will have its first purchase appearance during that time.
Its predecessor, the Gear S2 is among the best wearable devices currently available in the market. However, if you have plans to purchase a wearable device, it is wise you wait for a little while for the launch of the Samsung Gear S3. This is because the up-coming wearable is expected to be much better giving you the best user experience. De Grisogno is the jeweler behind the Gear S2 and rumor has it that the company is still the designer behind the up-coming Gear S3.
According to an official who works with De Grisogno, the company is working in collaboration with Samsung to come up with a new smartwatch. In addition, the official confirmed earlier rumors that the new Gear S3 could be available in the 2016 IFA launch.
Samsung had directly approached the Swiss jeweler seeking assistance in the creation of ultra-luxury accessories that can meet market demands with a Gear S2 limited edition of $15,000. Currently, the limited edition Samsung Gear S2 is successfully selling out internationally. The De Grisogno official confirmed that the two companies are working together to come up with a better version of the Gear S2.
In the past, Samsung launched several smartwatches based on the Tizen OS. Early this year, the company launched the Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S7 smartphones that featured the most advanced features and specifications. When coming to smartwatches, the company is known to make some great wearable. Therefore, you should expect much from the company’s Gear S3.
Some reports have revealed that Samsung is working to develop an updated SoC for its wearables because the chipset Exynos 3250 is very powerful for small watches. Therefore, there is a great possibility for the new Gear S3 to have the upgraded Exynos processor. It will be equipped with 1GB RAM, 4GB internal capacity and approximately 1GHZ. Together with the new hardware integration, the company is working to optimize its software so that it can provide more features in the Gear S3.
