Samsung Gear S3 Frontier release date, price, specs: Preorders open; AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon releasing gadget soon
It was just this month when Samsung announced that the Gear S3 smartwatch will hit the shelves on Nov. 18. The Frontier model is about to be made available in many options, including T-Mobile who will make the device available by tomorrow.
T-Mobile is on the verge of releasing the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier so that their customers can already start communicating with their respective social circle using the wearable device. In the official Twitter page of the network company, the smartwatch will have a tag price of $399 and will be available on Friday.
AT&T also joined the bandwagon and their Samsung Gear S3 Frontier is set at a more affordable price of $249. Another carrier, Venizon, will offer the wearable device as well, but has not revealed any release date yet.
Samsung Gear S3 is anticipated due to the premium design and excellent features that it boasts. Both the Classic and the Frontier models have 1.3-inch circular active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display that has 360 x 360 screen resolution. It also has a 768 MB of random-access memory (RAM) and 4 GB of built-in storage.
Gear S3's Gorilla Glass Sr+ ensures that the device will be more durable than ever. Other specs include a dual-core 1GHz Samsung Exynos chip, IP68 water-resistant feature and a 380-milliampere-hour (mAh) battery. It can be connected via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
The Classic and the Frontier models have similar specs, except for their weight and design. Frontier weighs 62 grams while Classic is lighter at 57 grams. The latter model is positioned for a more casual look while the latter has a stainless steel design.
Samsung Gear S3 has already been rolled out in South Korea, as expected. It is already available for preorder in the United States at a $349.99 price tag. The wearable device will also be available in several countries including France, Singapore, Germany, Australia and U.A.E. on Nov. 18.
