Intuitive Bedienung, schickes Design, vielseitige Möglichkeiten, die das Leben mit dem Smartphone leichter machen – was will man mehr?

    Kleine Wermutstropfen der Gear S3 sind der höhere Preis und die Kopplung mit dem Smartphone: Bei Android-Geräten müssen gleich mehrere Samsung-Apps installiert werden, um alle Funktionen nutzen zu können. Eine Pairing-App für iPhones gibt es derzeit nicht ? einzig eine Beta-Version kursiert bislang im Netz...
