Samsung Gear S3 detailed evaluation: design dazzling hardware powerful

OFweek wearable device network news want to come "smart watch" this product type has gone out of the bubble stage of the Great Leap Forward, to a steady development. It is also true that Samsung did not launch multiple types or forms of smart watch products as before. Instead, it only introduced a Samsung Gear S3 product to meet different needs and usage scenarios. Even so, the exquisite design and inherited "simulated dial" design of Samsung Gear S3 is still enough dazzling. And that powerful hardware and a full range of sensors, it is to send it to the strongest throne.

Existence of a delicate sense of shape

Same as the previous generation, the Samsung Gear S3 offers both classic and avant-garde versions. Among them, the classic body is silver-white, the physical buttons are more consistent with the traditional watch design, and the leather material strap is standard; the avant-garde version is black, the dial has a corresponding scale, the physical keys are large and have a line design to enhance the sense of control, standard Rubber strap.

The difference in design of the two versions in terms of details makes them have different temperament, which naturally suits the needs of different people and scenes. Relatively speaking, the classic version is more low-key, suitable for suits and shoes, and the avant-garde version is naturally more youthful.

After experiencing the great leap forward of smart watches, various manufacturers have come to realize that the smart watch first has to be a watch, which makes the round screen become politically correct. The 1.36-inch circular Super AMOLED screen used by the Samsung Gear S3 has a high resolution of 360*360, and is matched with scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass SR+ glass, which is quite good in both display and protection. .

The case body is made of 316L stainless steel, and all its durable, corrosion-resistant, non-irritating properties make it a standard choice for wearable devices. The physical keys located on the lugs correspond to the "return" and "Home" functions respectively, and can realize different functions through different operations such as double-clicking and long-pressing. In addition, Samsung Gear S3 also inherited the iconic design - the turntable, which can be turned to achieve the option / card / function switch, with the slight buzz and paragraph feeling, fresh and feel very good.

The strap of Samsung Gear S3 adopts a quick-release design, which can be quickly and easily replaced. The official is naturally providing a large number of different color and material straps to choose from. In addition, the standard 22mm strap design adopted by the company is able to use the universal strap in the market quite conveniently, which naturally has good playability and personalization. The green Perlon Strap, which I replaced on my own, is lighter and more coquettish than the standard rubber material.

In terms of its design, it is absolutely possible to use positive words such as exquisite, excellent and beautiful to praise. But to have a nuisance, Samsung Gear S3 is too big, too thick, too heavy, use the number to describe is 46mm dial, 12.9mm thickness and 63g weight. From the side, the obvious double-layer structure of Samsung Gear S3 will even have the illusion that the two modules are superimposed. No concept?

To put it this way, the apparent dial size directly declines the female user's choice, but there is a sense of thickness and weight, and even normal male users will feel top-heavy. Even exaggerating, is the Samsung Gear S3's designer a trainer out of the gym?

Luxurious hardware, the ultimate sense of operation

It must be emphasized that the screen of Samsung Gear S3 has high resolution, good display effect, and large viewing angle, which is the most “good-looking” of smart watches. Although the 360*360 resolution is a fraction of that in a smart phone, it can be placed on a smart watch in a small world with high precision. Even if it is close to the surface, it does not come with any graininess. Can pick out the fault, that is, the distance between the screen glass and the display panel can be further compressed.

In addition, Samsung has to work hard on the screen brightness. This is not to say that its brightness is insufficient, but even if it is in the summer sun, the screen is clear enough. In the system, only the “auto-low brightness” function is provided, and the actual adjustment range is almost negligible, making it often necessary to manually adjust the intervention. Samsung has to work hard on the algorithm.

Particularly commendable is the Samsung Gear S3's handling experience. Touch screen and physical buttons, this has long been the standard setting of smart watches, nothing to say. The "Simulation Bezel" design that the Samsung Gear S3 added to this foundation is a major highlight. As the name implies, the design is to emulate the rotatable dial on traditional watches. In particular, there is a corresponding time scale on the avant-garde version. Visually it is a bonus item.

This design is not to use the scale or countdown, but by rotating the dial to switch between different options, functions and cards, with the original touch screen and physical buttons, the overall sense of control is excellent, the efficiency is also very high . Especially the slight buzzing and paragraph feeling when rotating the dial, the performance of the displayed feeling is very addictive. If Samsung adds new "OK" keys, then the sense of control can continue to add points. After all, the traces of fingerprints left behind after touching the screen are too obvious and inconvenient.

Like all consumer electronics, the biggest limitation of smart watches is still battery life. The Samsung Gear S3 has a built-in 380mAh battery, which is a good one in terms of capacity. As far as practical use is concerned, it can work for 3 days continuously with the automatic heart rate turned off, Wi-Fi/GPS turned on, Bluetooth connected all day, and notification of opening. In terms of this achievement, it is not effective, but it is better than the standard line.

If it is rushed to forget the remaining power, the Samsung Gear S3 will also prompt to turn on the low power mode at the remaining 5% and use the power as much as possible for display time. Of course, you can also choose to open this mode all the time, and you can limit most functions to ensure that the display time is about one week. It's just like this. Buy a smart watch?

Compared to the endurance ability of the Samsung Samsung Gear S3 charging can be an embarrassing thing. It does not have a built-in charging interface, but uses a wireless charging design. The advantage of this is that it can guarantee the visual integrity and it is also convenient for the waterproof protection design. The disadvantage is that the corresponding charging base needs to be charged. In addition, although it adopts Qi wireless charging standard, it can actually test that it is not compatible with the corresponding standard wireless charger.

This means that the standard charger can't be lost. If you don't find out when you go out, you can't find where Buddha is. The point that can be recovered is that the charging speed is not bad. It takes 10 minutes before you leave and you can use it for 12 hours. And Samsung's design of the packaging for its details makes it very convenient for charging.

Complete system, castrated core

Since its birth, Tizen OS has always existed as a "non-mainstream". It is true that Samsung is gradually using the system in its own rich product line. In the early days, it mainly attacked low-end smart phones, and then gradually went to smart TVs, monitors, and even refrigerators, which are somewhat insulated from smart products. Is it meaningful?

From a large perspective, the Tizen OS system is Samsung's preparation to avoid over-reliance on the Android system. Samsung's integration and control of hardware and software should be stronger. From a small perspective, the Tizen OS system features are more friendly to developers and facilitate smooth running of low-performance hardware.
Why say this? Because the Samsung Gear S3 is equipped with its own Tizen OS system.


So what's the difference? Responsible to say that there is no big imagination.

In terms of visual effects, the Tizen OS system and the Android Wear system have similar design styles, and all of them can be connected to iOS or Android devices. They can also use different dials and have a lot of resources to download. They can install applications. And provide a corresponding application store, killer applications are very few; are able to achieve similar features such as notifications, saying that, to say that the Android Wear system to change the depth of the skin, no big problems.

Of course, in terms of details, thanks to Samsung's strong control over hardware and software, the Samsung Gear S3 and Tizen OS systems must be more closely integrated, or the hardware and software should be coordinated with each other. For example, the rotatable dial design on the hardware makes the application list of Tizen OS system a turntable for easy use and operation; for the design of circular screens, various pages, details and design elements of Tizen OS system can feel It is based on the premise of a round, rather than the menu design of the Android Wear system.

It can be said that the system also brings disadvantages, that is, compared to the non-mainstream Android Wear system, making the Tizen OS system has relatively weak service provider support. The simplest example is WeChat. In the Android Wear system version, it can directly find contacts, view information, and send voice. However, the Tizen OS system only has a notice to show that the functionality is quite different.

The lack of application functionality is naturally a demerit to the experience of the Samsung Gear S3, not to mention the QQ of the Tizen OS system. In addition, it also faces different application stores at home and abroad, but there is no way to detour application installation. Of course, if it were, in fact, it is not so bad, because killer applications or high-frequency applications, the two can add up to find a calculation.

After the freshness is over, the demerit points are actually less noticeable.


The Tizen OS system is naturally overwhelming compared to the surrounding resources supported by the advantages of the Android Wear system. In terms of individual combat capabilities, the Samsung Gear S3 is tough enough to play ten games. Rely on that hardware advantage.

In terms of hardware configuration, the Exynos 7270 processor it is equipped with is designed with a 14nm process and dual-core design. Compared with similar products, the Snapdragon 2100 processor has higher performance, lower power consumption, and smaller size. Advantages are naturally guaranteed to be fluent and more likely to follow. In addition, its built-in 4G storage space, can store the corresponding music or pictures, with its built-in speakers and Bluetooth capabilities, even if only with the watch out of motion or during the flight to listen to songs, are not a problem at all.

This is not finished. The Samsung Gear S3 has built-in Wi-Fi, NFC, and GPS, as well as accelerometers, barometers, gyro sensors, and heart rate sensors to implement altimeters, barometers, odometers, and more. And pre-installed customized version of S Health, can pass sensors or corresponding data and remind. The powerful hardware and the complete sensor naturally make the Samsung Gear S3 meet most of the needs and have more room for imagination.

It can be said with certainty that the biggest advantage of the Samsung Gear S3 is its hardware's toughness and perfection. It can be said that its biggest regret is also on the hardware.

But this is not to reverse the above, but because of the special national conditions and castration caused. The Exynos 7270 processor on the Samsung Gear S3 is an LTE Cat that has built-in LTE Modem and supports 2CA. 4 standard. This means that the Samsung Gear S3 does not need to be used with mobile phones, but can completely work independently. It should be noted that the eSIM card design adopted by it is currently not supported by any operator in the country. It is also unpredictable in the short-term future. Castration has become an inevitable matter.

Castration eSIM is excusable, after all, the domestic is really not used, Samsung is also no way. MST-supported Samsung Pay can be razed, which belongs to Samsung China's operations and strategy issues. Understandably, the reason why Samsung was so castrated is that under the current environment, it has already met the needs of most consumers and usage scenarios by supporting the two-dimensional code display function implemented by Alipay.

It may also be known that Samsung Pay has gained sufficient popularity and certain applicable people after a period of operation, and the possibility is far greater than the QR code, not to mention that this feature has become a symbol unique to Samsung. And quite obvious extra points. Castration this function can only be said to be lazy. This is like an additional question on the exam. If you don't write it, it won't affect the perfect score of 100. You can write it right out of 120.

One of the strongest, but still tasteless

Samsung Gear S3 is one of the strongest smart watches currently available, and even removing one of them is not a problem.

The body of the metal material has great exquisite sense. Under the blessing of "standard strap" and "simulated dial" design, it has a traditional watch design and personalized experience, but also has a very good sense of control. Even from the point of view of hardware enthusiasts, the Samsung Exynos 7270 processor, high-resolution prototype screen, and a full range of sensors and wireless charging features are all enough to stand out from the crowd.

Indeed, it also has the effect of wearing comfort due to the bulk size of the body, as well as the application richness and support problems caused by the non-mainstream Tizen OS system. It can be said that these two minor issues are not large enough to affect their excellent evaluation. It can be said that even if the Samsung Gear S3 is the strongest smart watch, for most people, it is still a tasteless product.

Samsung's Gear S3, a powerful product, is not able to solve the current embarrassing situation of smart watches. That is to say, it can be used without problems. Because of the limited battery life, battery life, and killer applications and scenarios, smart watches are not as important and central as smart phones. The lack of two functional features of eSIM and Samsung Pay, which have to be castrated and that are actually castrated, has made this chicken a little less seasoning.
