Samsung’s Invite confirms New Gear S3 launching on 31st August

Samsung is all set to launch a new smartwatch this month which is going to be an upgrade to the existing Gear S2. The company teased a launch event at the IFA electronics show in Germany. The event is scheduled for August 31st. Even though Samsung didn’t openly mention about the watch, but it is quite evident from the invite sent out to everyone.

As noted earlier, if this happens, then this is going to be an upgrade to the existing watch i.e. the Gear S2. The Gear S2 was launched back in September 2015 at the same show. The Gear S2 was highly appreciated by many, and it was well received in the market unlike the previous offerings from the company. The watch had an entirely new design, which was surprisingly good and a had an all new interface in the form of a spinning bezel.

So now it will be interesting to see what the company has decided to do here with the upcoming new watch. It is expected that the company will retain the rotating bezels. Also, there are rumors about a new Gear S3 classic variant as well this year. This will be on the same lines as that of last year, where we saw two variants. Also, a new explorer edition is also expected, and it is said to feature a crown and might have changeable watch bands. This is something new to the table, which was not seen previously from the manufacturer.

However, all these rumors will be put to end on August 31st, which is not far. Unfortunately, we don’t have any new smartphone launches from the company as they recently launched the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7. So stay tuned for info on this as well as other announcements from IFA 2016.
