Samsung Gear S2 Hands-on Video - Tizen Experts - Samsung Gear S2

Hi,
Here is a Hands-On video going through the User Interface (UI) of the upcoming Gear S2, which should be released next month. The smooth UI is a definite killer:

Who is Interested in getting one?

I already got a Classic ordered. Hopefully it gets delivered Friday or I will expect it Monday at the latest. I may end up doing an unboxing video if it really doesn't get released this week in the West.

Great news. Where did you order it from ?

It was a preorder promotion in Korea through a mobile network provider named KT. A couple weeks ago Samsung in Korea sold 1000 preorders through their website and they also gave 500 units each to a couple network providers. It was a good deal I got, they threw in some Sennheiser earbuds and an additional charger for the S2 for free.

Is the Gear S2 on sale anywhere?

Hello all! Has anyone seen a recent sale for the Gear S2? I'm picking one up probably today and wanted to help save every penny I have if possible. Thanks and have a nice day!
Most people may overlook this one as a likely source to buy the watch, but I bought my gear s2 classic from Dell...... $50.00 off.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Note 5
Just keep searching and move in quickly when there is a deal. I had great offer from Macy's two days before Black Friday: had the gear s2 classic for $254.99. That was $95 below normal price!
Thanks for sharing!
I picked mine up from T-mobile in Holland for €250 ($275). That's 150Eur off the price here ? For the classic of course. Normally €400.
The shop manager had to confirm with HQ that it was allowed ?
Amazon and Best Buy have the Gear S2 on sale today for $250!
Yeah I got the s2 on Friday from Best Buy, taking the receipt back and getting that 50$ back! Woot!!
Online...AT&T have them for $199
AT&T now has the S2 3G on sale for $99 with 2-year contract...price good through January 31, 2016
I purchased an Amazon Warehouse deal one for $218. It was/is in perfect condition and works....then I got greedy when I saw another Warehouse Deal for only $189....ordered that one and it arrived with the reactivation lock enabled Had to send it back...it was in good shape too.

Gear S3 availability and shipping

To discuss everything related to availability news, shipping and delivery information.

awww. I saw this stub and thought there might already be discussion of pricing/availability. Ill keep holding my breath
also Amazon.de has it listed https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-front...e=UTF8&qid=1474298426&sr=1-1&keywords=gear+s3 for the currently price 399,99€ but this is the first price so I think it will be at ca 350€ or lower (aaaand I hope it )
Samsung's website now allows preorders for the classic and frontier versions. For those in the US, like myself, it only shows AT&T's frontier LTE version, no other carriers are listed at this time but the Bluetooth models are still listed.
$349 for Bluetooth and $399 for LTE
Preorder on samsung.de incl. second strap for 399 €, delivery at 18. November.

Samsung Black Friday uk deal

Hi did anyone else get the buy one get one half price today from Samsung uk store? . Although I had previously cancelled my pre release order of the Frontier I couldn't resist getting the classic and Frontier at £525 . Being delivered Monday from uk mail.
Yeah, ended up going for the same bundle and think I will keep the frontier and sell the classic. Have got an LG G Watch at the minute which I may hold on to as not sure how I'm going to get on with Tizen.
My thoughts exactly shame I missed the buy one Frontier get another Frontier half price , might sell the classic or give it t my son for Christmas. Just got an email from uk mail saying delivery today.
Can you confirm your are getting a frontier before those of us who have preordered?
Yes both frontier and classic delivered Saturday morning ordered black Friday.
Got my order confirmation and tracking details for delivery tomorrow. I was surprised to see these on the black friday deal as know stock has been low but didn't realise pre-orders have not yet been fulfilled.

I had mine delivered within 24 hours wonder why yours took two days ? also complete
shambles with people who pre ordered not getting first delivery I would be really pissed off if it happened to me.

Anyone having luck finiding this watch?

I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.
thank you!

I was able to find it at Best Buy.
I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.
Best buy
None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

I usually check nowinstock.net for email notifications when they come in stock at Best Buy, amazon or B&H.
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
It actually looks like its in stock at best buy currently with free 2 day shipping: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-smartwatch-46mm-dark-grey/5647800.p
Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!
I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..
I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.
Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:
I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.
AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.
Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap
Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.
whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.
They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.

Ordered mine today (pre order actually)

and am looking forwards to receiving it. I know the processor is only the 845 but I am getting it primarily for the camera setup as I take lots of photos with my phones. Anyone else pre order theirs yet? I live north of Boston, Ma.

You can also just walked into a BestBuy and get it for $599 this week. I think I need to do that to get a hands-on and check out the camera app speed. A few seconds delay between the shots sounds a little too much.
I currently have the device and downloaded a pixel camera apk that seems compatible with it. Though question I must ask, does all five cameras work on third party camera apps as well… (night scape on this device would be fantastic). Nokia 9 five cameras’ design using a compatible pixel 3 camera apk would make me not purchase the google pixel 3 xl.
I picked mine up at Best Buy last Friday (March 1). Some locations had them available.

What are your thoughts? I picked one up as well, but haven't opened the box yet.
I ordered one from B&H, not sure when they ship but I'm happy just knowing I have one reserved for now.
I ordered one from B&H too! Hopefully they get some stock this week. Might arrive faster than the S10!
Very Excited.
I'm in the UK and I pre-ordered on the 28th Feb.
I have been on the fence about buying a new phone for around a year and I hadn't seen anything about this phone before the 27th. It hauled me down off the fence quicker than I expected, especially when I saw the UK price with the earbuds thrown in.
Really excited about the potential of the camera and the early review shots have looked great.
Although Best Buy has it on hand(at some stores at least) I preferred to order from BH Photo . Best Buy charges $25 for returns while BH does not charge for returns and it is free shipping to/from them. I have bought a lot of gadgets from Best Buy and BH and , BH photo usually has the best customer service. Of course BH does not charge taxes either (they are located in NYC) and I live in Massachusettes. Shipping from BH photo , when supply is in, is 1-3 days.
Looks like B&H may ship tomorrow according to an email I just got:
"Released in limited qty 03/05/19"
Quoted from my order,under the phone description

Also in the UK, ordered March 3rd and it is saying expected shipping date is April 1st, which is later than some other regions. I need to replace my S7 Edge and I'm seeing this device as a bit of an upgrade over the OnePlus 6T. I suppose I could wait for the OnePlus 7 but I expect that device to be more expensive and have no wireless charging. Also the camera is a bonus, and HDR10 support on the screen will be interesting to try.
Nokia are also claiming HDR video recording, though I am not sure what that really means yet.
Mine should be here tomorrow! Super excited
Interesting to hear that the phone is available in some markets. Ordered mine, but no indication on when the delivery starts in the Netherlands. Some rumors say 15 March, others early April.

Where did you buy yours from? I ordered from B&H, but they said they don't know when their inventory will arrive.

Best Buy, but it looks like they're sold out of them now. I originally did B&H, but on Tuesday I saw BB was promising delivery date of the 7th so I canceled my order with B&H and went with BB.

I just got the charge from B&H, and invoice says it has been sent to the warehouse. I'm guessing they have stock and will ship soon.

I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy on the 3rd of March, at around 3am. I received it yesterday (7th) from UPS at around 3pm. I am near Cleveland Ohio. I chose the free shipping, surprisingly I was expecting UPS to hand it off to USPS because it was sure-post method, but UPS ended up delivering it. I have to go to the AT&T store today to get a nano SIM, my current/old phone was a micro SIM, so I have yet to power it up and trying it out. I will later today *crosses fingers*.
