News & Reviews:   Samsung Gear S3

Today, it was announced by Design Awards that Samsung Electronics has won 49 iF Design Awards, including one Gold Award, at the world-renowned International Forum Design Awards 2017. Thirty-five of the awards were given for superior product design, four for professional concept design, seven for communication design, and three for packaging design.

Today, Samsung Electronics has announced the expansion of iOS compatibility across the latest Gear family of devices including the Gear S3, Gear S2 and Gear Fit2.

Today at CES 2017, Samsung Electronics has announced their new collaboration with Under Armour. The purpose of this new partnership is to offer fitness experience, by combining Samsung wearable devices with Under Armour’s connected fitness expertise.

Looks like the biggest news of the week came in at the last moment as Samsung officially recalled the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 over a faulty sometimes exploding battery. It wasn't the only one suspended as Google also stopped work on their Project Ara modular smartphone.

It is not surprise that Samsung is still coming out with new smartwatchs in their Gear series. What is surprising however is that the new Gear S3 is not a replacement, but a parallel model to the older Gear S2. Featuring the same great rotating bezel, an all-new design and many more enhancements – the Gear S3 is set to add more value to the Tizen smartwatch market.

Samsung has released a new teaser in their Twitter account today, hinting all the previous rumours about the Samsung Gear S3 is set to appear on 31 August 2016. Where? Most probably in South Korea first, but will there be more than one wearable?

Aside from Apple's upcoming announcement about the Apple iPhone 7 series which is yet to be dated, there's also the IFA event in Germany and Samsung could be showcasing something new, a new Gear S3 perhaps?

Next week we will see the new phablet flagship Samsung Galaxy Note 7, but at the same time Samsung may be keeping something for the upcoming IFA2016 tradeshow in Berlin. We have reports saying that the next generation of Samsung’s wearable will be announced then.

The Samsung Gear S2 was well received in markets that it was marketed, and due to that, Samsung has green lit an update to the Tizen wearable, the Samsung Gear S3, and we have now a picture of what the wearable should look like.
