Samsung has announced it will soon launch a 3G / cellular version of its Gear smartwatch S2 classic , which will be ‘the first wearable device in the world to be equipped with support for the new ESim certified GSMA, which means that the user will be free when he wants to change operator without restrictions. It will be a different version of the type of SIM that you can ‘get in the model Gear S2 3G came out last year.
In 2014, the Apple iPad Air 2 has been the first mobile device to offer support for a standard SIM card that can be used to work with different carriers, eliminating the difficulties for users of having to physically change the SIM in case a change of operator. On this concept, the Gear of Samsung S2 classic will be the first wearable device in the world to offer the same technology.
The new type of ESim how it works . The ESim on Gear S2 classic will be compatible with the specifications for ESim smartwatch recently introduced by the GSM Association. For now, the GSMA provides for the use of this new ESim only on secondary devices like smartwatch, tablet, smartband and various devices of the Internet of Things (IoT). This new SIM does not require an additional subscription, but instead simply ask activating your service provider that will associate to your main number. The ESim well as from Samsung will also be used by other large handset manufacturers including LG, Huawei and Microsoft. Apple is missing from this list because it is known that the Cupertino company likes to do things on their own.
The ESim free in a SmartWatch simplifies many things . First of all do not undertake to physically change the SIM in the clock if you decide to change operator or phone number, and no need to open any SIM slot if you decide to change smartwatch. The operator will be able to remotely associate your main phone number with ESim of its SmartDevice upon customer request. Another advantage of having a smartwatch with ESim support consists in the fact of not having more ‘connect the device to the smartphone via Bluetooth or WiFi to stay connected to the network, because the clock can’ connect to the selected operator’s mobile network in a totally independent.
the operators will have to meet . Unfortunately in this day and ogg few operators worldwide support ESim, why the Gear S2 classic with ESim will be launched by Samsung only in countries where there is at least one operator that supports the standard. In Italy there are no operators that support ESim – support you can now find in the US and in some European markets, as in the UK.
What’s different from Gear S2 3G? When Samsung announced six months ago his new Gear S2 has also announced the launch of a 3G version with ESim, but this is the operator is linked with which you buy the smartwatch and is associated with a number owner, not the user’s main contract. The ESim of Gear S2 3G Classic, however, will be free, so the user can switch providers without restrictions.
sale of Samsung Gear S2 classic with ESim is scheduled from March , then probably this launch the producer will be discussed during the press conference held on February 21 in Barcelona for MWC. precise details on prices and markets in which the clock will be available are not available at the time.
