The smartwatch "Samsung Gear S3" has released in U.S. on Nov. 19 with some exclusive apps and services including Samsung Pay. Interestingly, it will work flawlessly whatever the Android smartphones customer is using. Considering the debacle of Note 7, Samsung wants to prove that the new wearable gadget is making real sense. The previous versions of Samsung Gear S3 smartwatches were flops but the firm decided to renovate it, per the review.

Though Samsung Gear S3 is claimed that it works with all the Android smartphones, the devices must be Android 4.4 KitKat or above to use Samsung Pay. The instruction from Samsung is clear that it doesn't want to create a wide platform to be concluded within Android Pay. It would look to facilitate Samsung Pay through Gear app.

It is expected to bring more sales considering non-Samsung mobile users will be able to buy and use Samsung Gear S3. The smartwatch was introduced in South Korea almost a week back and it comes in two variants, Frontier and Classic. Both are working under Samsung's own OS, Tizen, and the starting price of the devices are at $350.

The specs of Samsung Gear S3 include a 4GB Internal memory and 768MB RAM. It comes with wireless charging and has a built-in 380 mAh Li-Ion battery. The Gear S3 Frontier has LTE, Bluetooth and WiFi for connectivity while the Gear S3 Classic has only Bluetooth and WiFi. The review of the device showed that the smartwatch is a great improvement from Gear S2 with its always-on display mark feature, making it a proper watch.

The other features of Samsung Gear S3 include integrated GPS and fitness tracking, and that are making the device very useful for workouts, journeys etc. The specs and features hint that the device will be a success and can be sold in large numbers.
