Gear S3 is announced.

That is a good news, which means eSIM is going to be adopted by local telcos.

According to an internal source, the LTE version will be announced at a later date. thus only the bluetooth version will be available in the coming weeks..

LTE version allows you to make and receive phone call, receive internet notification for your social media apps etc.

no difference between the gear s3 models, thus the pricing for now both are the same.

But I thought the watch once connect through Bluetooth it will be able to receive the call and email. Please correct me if I am wrong. I quite newbie in smart watch.

the LTE here means standalone device, can make and receive call by it's own. in other words should have its own phone number.

Anyone can explain more on the 'Always On Display' in Gear S3?

I heard it is able to produce 16 million colors compared to 8 colors in S2 but I could not find any videos on this on Youtube.

Also will this feature caused 'burnt-in' in the long run?

In a closed door event with samsung which i had attended a few weeks back, the AOD is something like the phone's AOD. The difference is that the watch faces will have more details and colours to show comparing to gear s2's basic info on the screen. To me, it doesn't serve any purpose but depletes your battery life for the day. Other than this, some users might prefer to have something always on their screen.

When you raise your wrist like how you normally do, the watch activate the full watch face and thus i don't see a reason why i would use AOD.

Burn-in is a common phenomenon, but what i saw from the prototype was that the details of the AOD will keep changing every few minutes to avoid burn-in. I heard there are strict algorithms in place to safely switch the details around to avoid the same LED from being used..

Appreciate your detailed explanation!

AOD is very important to me because there are situations when u want to see the time but not flick your wrist.

Example:
While in front of PC tying on the keyboard

While holding the handrail on a bus or mrt

While driving and hand is on the steering wheel

Why the LTE version may i ask? perhaps you can share your opinion?

In my opinion, i feel that the LTE version comes with a monthly subscription for the mobile line, and that the function of LTE is quite limited comparing to a phone. With that in mind, tethering via bluetooth might be a better/cost effective option..

mainly because when I go jogging, when I go buy stuff from neighborhood shop downstairs... i don't carry my phone if it's really not necessary. plus, I have a 1gb data sim from my telco... it would be useful when in those situations and still be connected.

but if it comes down to it... i could still live without the lte version I guess.

the watch works on e-SIM module. no way you can add your own data sim into the watch, and it has no sim slot as well.

thats why i said to buy LTE version, you need to have an active monthly subscription with a telco..
