The LTE version liberates your smartwatch from your phone. An embedded SIM card of type eSIM by Gemalto handles the communication, so you can leave your phone behind. Easily take and make phone calls when you're on the run. 


Samsung Gear S3 Frontier LTE shares the same specs as the non-LTE version.

Samsung poor customer service and warranty!

I was initially completely satisfied with this watch. Absolutely loved the watch and functionality. After completing a recent update pushed by Samsung the touchscreen stopped working. After contacting customer support I was instructed to restart several times and then to factory reset.

Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Black

Pros:
  • Excellent design with the outer ring of the watch face allowing you to navigate through the various watch options and widgets
  • Clear bright display with a decent battery life although I would still recommend charging as often as possible as using all wireless functions (GPS, Bluetooth etc) would...
Cons:
  • A little easy to scratch so care is needed when wearing

The most perfect watch ... so far.

I'm sure there are many features that still need to happen. I'm sure there are developments yet to be made. But aside from obvious pie in the sky pure sci-fi lunacy like motion capture for VR or augmented reality applications, I can't think of anything that's even remotely attainable.
Pros:
  • Bright display
  • Durable
  • simple usability
  • "interface feel" extremely satisfying
  • the freaking watch dial rotates how cool is that
Cons:
  • not enough apps
  • so much utility potential as yet untapped..

With the Gear S3 Frontier, Samsung did a commendable job building a wearable with a little something for everyone. The device still falls short in a lot of ways, including its overzealous automatic fitness tracking and a limited app selection, even after a year.
Pros:
  • Still has the best smartwatch interface
  • Excellent performance
  • Respectable battery life
  • OLED display is bright and crisp
Cons:
  • Not many good Tizen apps
  • Automatic exercise tracking can be weird
  • Will be too big for some

Samsung Gear S3 review: Samsung tries to throw it all on a watch, but it doesn't all stick

Samsung's watch survives, for now, as one of the better options for Android phone users. Smartwatches are experiments. For a taste of the future, you've got to live with compromise on your wrist. But for a lot of people, connected watches are best kept simple. Battery life wins out over tons of features, and ease of use over feature bloat. After all, that's what phones are for. Watches are where we check things quickly.
Pros:
  • Well-constructed
  • attractive design
  • clever spinning bezel interface. GPS, speakerphone, optional stand-alone LTE phone service and work-anywhere Samsung Pay. Spotify app streams music on the go. Works with most Android phones, and even iPhones to a degree.
Cons:
  • It's big
  • Tizen-based software has less app support than Apple Watch or Android Wear
  • iOS connection works, but it's very buggy
  • Few killer apps take advantage of stand-alone LTE services.

Samsung Gear S3 Frontier review

The Gear S2 arrived on a deserved wave of hype, but for some reason we aren't overly excited about this new Gear S3 Frontier. The only thing it actually adds is GPS, and at a £100 cost it'll definitely put some people off.
