The Galaxy Gear S , another Samsung wearable among many , will be available in the U.S. on Nov. 7 and unlike its other Gear siblings , the S can have its own data point link . alas , it looks like carrier will make you make up for this thing ( and potentially any other datum - enable smartwatch ) as if it were a datum - enabled tablet .
Over at AT&T , you ’re able-bodied to snatch up the Gear S for $ 200 on declaration but you ’ll need to pay off $ 10 in monthly fees to add up the wearable to your current mobile plan . Meanwhile , Sprintwill be charging you $ 384 spread out over 24 months for the machine , in gain to a $ 10 per calendar month charge . However , that fee will be forfeit until December 2015 as long as you have a family plan with 20 GB or high .
T - Mobile will be charging$5 a month for a “ new wearable pace ” plan , which is at least cheaper than other plans out there , but you ’ll have to give for the equipment instantaneously for $ 350 . The Galaxy Gear S will also be coming to Verizon though the carrier has yet to make a pricing proclamation .
get ’s just forget for a sec that this wearable is a. ) expensive b. ) only works on Samsung phone and c. ) places you in the walled - garden that is Samsung ’s Tizen operating organisation . You ’ll now have to give a monthly fee to make phone calls and meet texts via a smartwatch . But how often do you not have your phone on you ? Even Samsung read the picket is n’t mean to replace your phone .
But if you ’re going to cosplay as Dick Tracy , this could be just the thing .
