Samsung Gear S3 review update: roundup of reviews from experts; is the device better than Apple Watch?

The clash between Samsung and Apple is not limited to Galaxy and iPhone alone — the two companies have been having head-to-head battles with their other devices, including their wearable device. Samsung Gear S3, according to reviewers, has a lot more to offer than the Apple Watch.

Smartwatch lovers may want to check out what Samsung Gear S3 update has to offer, especially those who are inclined to music. According to the latest reviews, the new update brings the famous Spotify right on the wearable device, giving the Gear S3 an edge over Apple Watch.

The Spotify app allows the users to choose music of their own liking and stream it from the Gear S3. This means, there is no need for a handset to keep their tunes playing. This is due to the Spotify app that is installed on the current, handset-stored music.

Not only is Samsung Gear S3 focused on the music-lovers, they also give apps to attract the interest of the fitness buffs. The Spotify apps also give the active users more ways to make their workout more convenient as they do not have to reach into their pockets to control their music.

As per Expert Reviews UK, the Gear S3 has commendable health apps, aside from longer battery life and high-end design. The publication noticed that the device is thicker than its predecessor, but this is just reasonable as the watch can now be attached with any band since its size has followed the standard.

Furthermore, its battery is improved to 380-milliampere hour (mAh), from the 300mAh battery of Gear S2. Another feature is the bigger 768 MB of random-access memory (RAM), which is enough for navigating purposes but may not accommodate as many demanding games as the users want.

In general, Samsung Gear S3 may be giving Apple a run for its own money due to its impressive specs. Of course, iOS lovers have their own two cents about the amazing features of their Apple Watch. As of the moment, the clash is still on.
