If you’ve got a thing for super-sized smartphones and you live in the U.K., you’ll be pleased to know you can now get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The device is now available from a number of carriers and smartphone retailers, as is Galaxy Gear, the companion smartwatch that brings apps and notifications to your wrist.
Yesterday, Sprint officially announced that it will be offering Samsung’s much-anticipated flagship smartphone of 2013, the Galaxy Note III, together with its companion device, the Galaxy Gear smartwatch from Friday, October 4.
Samsung has now priced its new Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear for the United Kingdom, and you might be surprised to see how much they’ll sell for without a contract. The Galaxy Note 3 will cost you £649 ($1,018), which isn’t exactly overly excessive for a high-end smartphone these days — but the Galaxy Gear will cost a whopping £299 ($469).
£299 for a clever wristwatch.
To celebrate the unveiling of Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note III, T-Mobile is giving away one of the high-end phablets, together with the South Korean company’s newly announced Galaxy Gear smartwatch to a very lucky mail list subscriber.
If you somehow missed Samsung’s IFA announcements this week, then this 18-minute video that the South Korean company uploaded to its YouTube channel will teach you everything you need to know about the new Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
