Are the LTE models are thicker (Due to SIM and Speaker) than the Bluetooth models like they were for the Gear S2 last year? I know the Gear S3 has a speaker regardless this time, But not sure if the built in LTE capabilities added any bulk.
I have my AT&T S3 coming tomorrow by FedEx, sight unseen this time, because I wasn't able to locate a demo anywhere.
Thanks!
It's the same size.

Hahaha, tbh I just think that smart watches aint very practical at the minute. Having to contsantly charge is probanly the biggest factor for me. But saying that with Quick Charging and Wireless chargeing maybe wont be long where it wont be too much of a hassle but still a pain if you ask me.

Gear S was brilliant design. Lets see, how this one goes, I might be buying one.
Definitely looking forward to it. I love my Gear S.

It's here now, screen seems smaller, lets see. I might be interested.
Yes. I am excited
Looking to replace my Gear 2 neo with the Gear S2(non 3G version), but only if it's not above $300 in price.
Just watched (pun?) the announcement. Looks pretty cool. I have never had a smart watch. I would like to get the 3g version but I don't like the fact I will have 2 phone numbers. Is there any fix to this? Can we just keep the same number as our phone?
I am also a little disappointed that there is no MST on the watch. Just NFC. Although being on Verizon, it may not matter.

Also very excited after watching. However i still have some questions. Does it have gps or not. They mentioned apps like nike+ and it can locate your car, but it needs gps for that right? But i dont see gps mentioned in the spec lists.... And second, will the s2 3g version come to europe as well? I live in the benelux and i currently have the gear s and i hope to buy the 3g version.

Looks real good. I wonder if the Gear S will get an update? If they don't I will probably upgrade.

With the gear S do you have to have a different phone number? If so, any way around that? I don't want to have 2 phone numbers. Thanks.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
The Gear S can be used by itself with its own number. When used with a Samsung phone everything is pushed from the phone to the watch. Calls are forwarded to the watch when the Bluetooth connection is lost. It depends how you want to set up the dwvice. Some use it without the Sim and just a Bluetooth connection.

Thanks for the info. Just to clarify, calls and messages will automatically be pushed to the phone with no BT? If you respond off BT will it show a different number?
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
If you set the phone up to forward calls in the gear app and the watch has its own sim. That way if you forgot your phone at home and you have your watch on ,the phone will forward all notifications and calls to the watch. You can answer all calls on the watch with its own speakerphone (not optimal ) or connect a Bluetooth headset to the watch or even to your car radio. It's pretty slick even on the old gears s. Looking forward to the s2. It really is a better setup than wear to me.

Again, thanks for the info. Sorry for all the ?'s. Just trying to understand how it works. If someone sends you a text when not connected to your phone and you reply, will it show up with a different number?
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
It will show up with the phone number. Only if you decide to use the watch with its own sim alone would it send with the watch number.

I can't get a straight answer on this. Is there a speaker phone on the 4G Gear S2? I want to get one for $99 but only if it has a speaker phone.
Yes it has a speaker. You can see this on YouTube reviews if you want.

I have not found anything on youtube that shows speaker phone capability. I thought I had read some where that it has a speaker for music but no speaker phone. Had to be paired with a blue-tooth headset to respond to calls. So, it does have speaker phone capabilities? Or it just has a speaker? BTW thanks for the response.

Yes. Speaker phone capabilities.

Just for clarrification, it's 3G, unless there is a version I haven't heard of. Is the one for att or sprint 4G?

I've seen mixed results with the Samsung Gear S smartwatch 1st gen working on T-Moible with the Note 5. Does anyone have this combo? If so was it hard to get the Gear S unlocked and activate with T-Mobile? Does the AT&T smartwatch work just as good as the T-Mobile one? thanks
Yes it does. I have the gear s and is the att version but it works with my T-Mobile note 5

Anybody see that verizon is offering your choice of gear vr or the gear s2 with a pre-order of the s7 or s7 edge?
Interesting.. gear s2 is worth a lot more.

Weird. I already have mine ordered and the s2 set up for its own line. The rep was a manager that I talked to and he'd been setting them up all day.
I'm really digging the look of the Gear S2 Classic... probably gonna sell the standard model it upgrade to that.

Only if you do it through the website. Of you call in they will not only honor the promotion but will also send you the watch with your phone so you can get them at the same time.

You must have gotten lucky. The terms say a 299 watch which is how much the wifi watch costs.

So you got the S2 3G version? Does that require a separate data plan, if so, how much is that? Will it only work on Verizon network?
Thinking about pre-ordering by calling Verizon, but want to gift the S2 to someone on another carrier.

Not Sprint's fault this time. Europe only received the update from Samsung this week. Clearly the fault lies with Samsung dragging its feet and trying to force us to upgrade to the S7 (which for me is not going to happen as this will be my last Samsung)

I too want the G5. I like the whole module concept, especially the camera one that extends battery. I'm on the fence though because I'm intrigued by the S7 Edge but at the same time wondering about the next Note lineup up and hoping there's a new version of my Note Edge as this thing is still my favorite phone to date. It really sucks Samsung dragging their feet on marshmallow and is the big reason why I feel like switching to another manufacturer.

At this rate, I'm gonna have marshmallow first through my S7E. I wanted to try it out before switching phones.

Never had an LG but aren't they slow to update? I don't think I've ever preferred an LG over an HTC or Samsung device either. That camera addon better shoot mind-blowing pics and vid if you have to carry it around or have it connected resembling an 80s brick phone lol.

No not really. G4 has been on marshmallow for well over a month now while Samsung is just now starting to push it overseas. I mean there was a time they were awful but so was Samsung at a time and still is.
