Verizon launches the Gear S3 classic with LTE for $349

Watch

When Samsung launched the Gear S3 smartwatch, it only offered one model with LTE support, the Gear S3 frontier. The company later decided to bring LTE support to the Gear S3 classic as well. It released the Gear S3 classic with LTE in South Korea first and later confirmed that it would be headed to the United States as well.

Two of the four major carriers in the country are already selling this smartwatch. AT&T and T-Mobile both started selling the Gear S3 classic with LTE several weeks ago. Now, it's Verizon's turn.

The country's biggest carrier, Verizon, has confirmed the launch of the Gear S3 classic with LTE on its network. The carrier is asking $349 for the smartwatch on a two-year contract. Customers can also purchase the smartwatch at full price for $399.

Verizon's NumberShare feature will be supported on the Gear S3 classic with LTE. It's similar to AT&T's NumberSync. The service enables users to send and receive texts/calls via their main phone number through the smartwatch even if they don't have their smartphone with them.

Other than that, it's the same Gear S3 classic smartwatch that we all know and love. Nothing else is different about it except the support for LTE.
