Gear S3 release expected by mid-November

It has been a couple of months since Samsung announced the Gear S3 smartwatch. The company said that the new wearable device would be released later this year but it hasn't confirmed an official release date yet. There now appears to be some clarity on the matter. An unnamed Samsung executive has told a Korean news outlet that the Gear S3 is going to be released by mid-November, at least in some markets, which include the United States, South Korea and some European countries. China isn't on the list of launch markets but the wearable device will make its way to the People's Republic in due time.

We only have an idea of what the Gear S3 is going to cost when it does arrive, Samsung will disclose the precise pricing and availability details for each launch market once it confirms when the smartwatch is going to be released. The company unveiled both Bluetooth-only as well as cellular models of the Gear S3 at the IFA 2016 trade show in Germany. The Gear S3 frontier and classic both feature 1.3-inch Super AMOLED displays, 4GB storage, an integrated GPS, Samsung Pay and more.
