What Users wants from upcoming Galaxy Gear S3:

Based on Users demand we have concluded few must have features for upcoming Galaxy Gear S3 and we think you will also love to see these features in next Galaxy Gear:

1) 1.2 and 1.5 inches Screen Size: The Galaxy Gear S2 comes with 1.2 inch dial size which looks perfect for most of people, but this year Samsung should come with 1.5 inch variant for people having larger wrist size.

2) Better Voice Integration over Watch: Samsung has implanted its SVoice application but sometimes the voice integration will not work accurately. This time Samsung should upgrade its SVoice to next level as Google Voice Search.

3) Sleep Monitoring and Alarm: The Galaxy Gear S3 should have an improved Sleep monitoring system that automatically calculate and recommend sleep hours according to number of calories burn and present health data. Also include a powerful alarm system with Gear S3.

    I’d definitely think twice about this watch. The Gear S2 was an amazing watch, until it got a little we on a boat ride. Then it never work right after that. Sending it to Samsung, they refused to fix it due to water damage. I attempted to escalate over a dozen time and was hung up on each time. Really disappointed with the whole situation.
