    Does Gear S3 frontier work without phone?
    talia_corwin
    over 1 year ago
    The Gear S3 Classic is only available with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Adding LTE connectivity to the S3 Frontier will allow you to do things like make phone calls, download apps, receive notifications from third-party apps, stream music and send text messages without needing to have your phone with you at all times.

    Why is my samsung gear s3 frontier battery draining so fast?
    lyman.batz
    almost 2 years ago
    Turn off location services. The GPS in your watch can drain the battery quickly, depending on how often the watch requests your location. Go to Settings > Connections > Location. Tap the toggle switch to turn off location services or choose to use GPS, Wi-Fi, or both.

    palmer_fritsch

    And yet, the Gear S3 Frontier and Gear S3 Classic have MST while the Gear S2 Sport and Classic have NFC only: one series limits Samsung Pay while the other uses Samsung Pay to its fullest potential. That alone makes the Gear S3 Frontier and Classic smartwatches that, despite the price tag, are the better buy.

    And while you may not get as wide a app availability as the Apple Watch Series 4, for something that is compatible with both android and iOS and is also a fairly good fitness tracker, the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier is well worth the price for many of you out there, that is if you need the app functionality.

    The Gear has a GPS sensor so that you can check your real-time location information without connecting to a mobile device. You can also use apps which require your location information, such as Alti-Barometer and Speedometer, and allow others to track your location by sending an SOS message in an emergency.

    Samsung Gear S3 Frontier vs Gear S3 Classic: Wrap-up In summary, then, the Frontier and Classic aren't hugely different. Their feature set only differs by the Frontier's addition of 5g weight, its different strap and the more rugged looking, sportier design.

The Samsung Gear S3 Frontier is better than the Apple Watch in most areas and will soon even work with an iPhone to compete against the Apple Watch. However, you can't ask it for your favorite team score or easily control it with your voice while some advertised apps are still missing a month after release. It is a complete package in an extremely high quality piece of hardware and it may be the best smartwatch ever over time.
