Samsung Electronics Singapore today unveiled the Samsung Gear S, the next generation smart wearable device that expands the smartphone experience to the wrist.
The new Samsung Gear S delivers an up-to-date smart wearable experience with 3G connectivity and wearable optimised features to meet the evolving needs of consumers.
“Samsung is the pioneer of wearable technology having introduced the first GALAXY Gear in 2013, which created this exciting and rapidly developing wearable category today,” said Eugene Goh, Vice President, IT & Mobile, Samsung Electronics Singapore. “The Samsung Gear S is truly a revolution that redefines the idea of the smart wearable and the culture of mobile communication away from the smartphone.”
The Samsung Gear S with its display and flexible band, fits comfortably on the user’s wrist. Through 3G connectivity, the Samsung Gear S offers a new, powerful wearable experience and gives consumers the freedom to live their life on the go.
Industry-Leading Curved Super AMOLED Display

The Samsung Gear S’s chic, curved design fits comfortably around the contours of the wrist, while its customisable screen options and changeable straps empower users to express their own taste and style.
Truly Connected Experience
The Samsung Gear S extends its communication capabilities to include 3G as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to stay informed with seamless notifications from social networks, calendars and applications even when away from their phone.
It lets users instantly reply to incoming messages using the onscreen keyboard, or utilise enhanced S Voice1 functionality to ensure tasks can be completed immediately. Finally, with Samsung Gear S, people can seamlessly make and receive calls directly from their wrist, or get calls forwarded from their smartphones2 .
The Samsung Gear S allows consumers to control how they want to connect, switching easily between 3G and Bluetooth connections, and automatically synchronising information when paired to a smartphone.
