Samsung Gear S will launch worldwide like the Gear and Gear 2

The Gear S is the fourth smartwatch in Samsung's lineup, but it's rather different than its predecessors with its curved display and inbuilt cellular connectivity. It also has a high price tag of Euro 299, which has made quite a few folks wonder if Samsung will launch it worldwide or keep it limited to a few regions. Well, it turns out Samsung will be taking the former route and launching in almost every region, according to a list of firmware codes we've received. The high price might deter most folks from going for the Gear S over the Gear 2 (or the Android Wear-powered Gear Live), but it's good to see that won't be keeping Samsung from making it available worldwide.

Here's the full list of countries where the Gear S will go on sale later this year. Let us know if you intend to pick one up.
