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.

Depending on who you speak to, wearables and in particular smartwatches are a failed category. The pace of fresh launches has slowed down to a trickle and smartwatches just haven't quite caught the market by storm the way they were expected to.
Pros:
  • Design
  • Performance
  • Battery Life
Cons:
  • Limited Apps
  • Price

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.

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

Outstanding

Not sure why there are no reviews here yet, there are plenty around. I have had this watch for a month and it is phenomenal (coming from Android Wear 1.5). The watch itself is stunning (physical design, materials, workmanship, OEM and 3rd party bands).

The Samsung Gear S3 is the closest you can get right now to an Apple Watch killer. It works well on iOS, comes with a premium feeling, and has all the features you could expect to find on a smartwatch. The Gear S3 Frontier is not super expensive either, and offers undeniable value for the money.
