Have you been wondering whether the Gear S3 is worth picking up or not? Our very own Justin Herrick unboxed the latest smartwatch from Samsung. See what he thinks after the break.
There's a raft of new features that come with the Gear S3 that make it all that more better than its predecessor, the Gear S2. As a brief overview, the smartwatch comes with a 1.3-inch (360×360) Super AMOLED display with Corning’s new Gorilla Glass SR+. The Gear S3 is also equipeed with Samsung’s always-on display technology so that you can take a gander at your smartwatch at any time without it being a huge drain on the battery.
You can watch the unboxing video below.

There's a lot of other neat things that come with it, including a dual-core processor, 768MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, a 380mAh battery providing 4-day battery life, GPS, NFC, and MST. And the neat thing about NFC and MST is that this allows the watch to use Samsung Pay. And here's the cool thing about it: you don't have to be tied to a Samsung phone to use Samsung Pay with the Gear S3.
Suffice to say, Samsung really outdid themselves with the Gear S3 this time around. We're looking forward to seeing what next year brings to the Gear S line up.
