Hands-on Samsung Gear S3 Specs and Features [IFA 2016]

One of the main novelties of IFA 2016 Samsung Gear S3 specs steel watch. The latest generation of Gear S at the same time the company managed to make a model and smarter, and closer to the classic clock. Let’s see how she did it.

DESIGN

Samsung Gear S3 specs develop the ideas of the previous device generations – we have two identical models in terms of functionality in a different design. Quite expectedly, the company chose a variation of the classic (classic) and “sports” (frontier).

The first thing that catches your eye – watches have become much more. Increased screen diagonal of 0.1 inches and a body width of 4-5 mm noticeable to the eye and felt on his hand, which immediately makes the it more masculine accessory.

As before, there is three control – rotating bezel and the two right keys. In the first sensations, the rotation of the bezel has been felt even better and more expensive, is more like a watch in the classic sense.

It is right that both Samsung Gear S3 features variations using standard strap width 22 mm – in the demo zone could see a lot of variations, designed the Samsung, but the suit and others.

Visually, the screen became much larger, and the company has worked on the design of custom dials – they became even more, and they perfectly alter the appearance of hours. In fact, the dials allow the same model look and classic and sports.

This is particularly evident in the frontier model. Depending on the screen and they can look strap and a G-Shock, and a chronometer in a slightly more aggressive design.

Try on both models with different straps, I did not notice any critical differences in convenience. What Gear S3 frontier, that the classic sit comfortably in the hand and looks a little more than felt.

PLATFORM SOFTWARE

Key functional changes – in Gear S3 appeared in GPS module, which is not many competitors can boast. Built-in Bluetooth, memory and the ability to connect wireless headphones were before, so now the smartphone while jogging can be left at home. This innovation can be a bit “hit” on the companies that produce specialized devices.

The same GPS consumes a lot of energy, so the battery is increased from 250 to 380 mAh. Opening hours of specific conditions the company did not specify but promises an average of four days of work on a single charge and the clock will be charged on the wireless charging stand, as the past generation.

Minor hardware changes: a new processor, 768 MB of RAM instead of 512, a pair of additional sensors. Round Super AMOLED display resolution of 360 retained 360 points, but now it is protected by a specially designed for wearable devices glass Corning Gorilla Glass SR +. Like the previous generation, Samsung Gear S3 specs protected under the standard IP68, so to them, it will be possible to swim. This Samsung Gear S3 specs frontier will be “tight” because they also meet the standard MIL-STD-810G.

The company has announced a change in Tizen, is running on the device. You should receive more applications from third-party developers and increase the functionality of the bezel.

IMPRESSION

Pro Samsung Gear S3 specs can say one thing – watch and like it seems to me that the company develops this line in the right direction, pays much attention to the design, but do not forget about software. Especially liked the frontier – probably, they will be more popular due to the greater variability in appearance, having a couple of straps and changing the dials can be created by any suitable image of the clock. Unfortunately, there is no information on the cost of Samsung Gear S3 price, but I hope that they will be too expensive the last generation that has retained its relevance after the announcement.
