Samsung Galaxy Note 3 bundled with free Galaxy Gear smartwatch
Flavor Flav-style massive timepiece up for grabs gratis.
One of the UK’s largest retailers is offering Samsung’s debut
smartwatch for free when customers shell out for the Galaxy Note 3, amid
reports that consumers’ response to the smartphone peripheral is more
than a little disappointing.
Under the terms of Phones 4U’s offer, gadget-fanciers who buy the Note 3 on a two-year monthly contract at £42.99 per month before Thursday (that’s November 14th, date fans) qualify for a free Samsung Galaxy Gear.
Depending on where you do your gadget-shopping, the smartwatch is normally priced between £240 and £299 or so.
Alternatively, you can pick up Note 3 for £39.99 per month and shell out £99.99 upfront for the Gear. [Affects voiceover voice] ‘It really is up to you’.
Phones 4U’s promotion comes after evidence that the Gear was being returned by a frightening one out of three customers at Best Buy stores in the US, for reasons that have yet to be fully determined.
However, it’s thought that many returns were down to lack of support for the device across Samsung’s smartphone range and its failure to properly communicate
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 was the sole handset that was compatible with the Gear from the get-go. However, since then Samsung has brought support to the Galaxy S4 and its predecessor, the Galaxy S3 with updates to Android 4.3.
