Samsung Galaxy Gear S3 Specs, Release Date, Price: Newest Samsung Smartwatch To Be Launched At The IFA 2016?

The IFA 2016 conference is all set and ready to sail in Berlin on 1^st September. Tech savvies and fans from everywhere in the globe are excited to see new innovations tech companies have to offer. One of the most highly anticipated tech companies is Korea-based tech company Samsung who will be launching the Galaxy Gear S3 smartwatch.

According to reports, the Gear S3 will be codenamed 'Solaris', which in Spanish literally translates to Sun, indicating that the upcoming device will sport the same circular display, as well as rotating bezel, as the one before it, the Galaxy Gear S2.

Folks at SamMobile, a website covering everything Samsung, reports that the Korean tech giant previously worked with de Grisogono on a special diamond-encrusted version of the Gear S2, and news of the two companies's continuing the collaboration was reported by the Korea Herald. Quoting an unnamed official from de Grisogono, the firm is "collaborating with Samsung to develop its next-generation smartwatch" following the success of the stylized Gear S2.

The new smartwatch will reportedly feature either a 1.2 or 1.5-inch Super AMOLED screen with Always-On display feature. The bezels would be rotatable, retaining the design and control features of the Gear S2. Christian Post stated that the device will run on Samsung's proprietary Tizen operating system, which will allow the software to make use of the Gear's rotating bezel for input.

It will also feature an altimeter, a barometer, and a speedometer, as well as an integrated GPS which will come in handy when needed. The Gear is also equipped with sensors that will allow the constant monitoring of both the weather and your health statistics. The screen will most likely be protected by Gorilla Glass 4, and has an IP68 certification for dust proofing and water resistance.

It will also be powered by a 1GHz Exynos sensor natively manufactured by Samsung and the device will come with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. The Gear S3 will also pack a 400 mAh battery, which is 100 mAh higher than the one before it, Digital Trends reported.

Igalaxys7.com reported that the Samsung Gear S3 will retail for $499 in the United States and £380 in the United Kingdom. However, prices may still differ depending on the carrier you use.
