Samsung have launched the Gear S2 smartwatch, classic and sport versions, in quite a few countries globally this year. There is however another variant that has not reached many foreign shores as of yet! Today, Samsung and the TIM mobile network have launched the first smartwatch in Italy that features an embedded SIM (eSIM). This work has been done in collaboration with international digital security firm Gemalto, who through its platform, will ensure the proper management and customization of the mobile radio service directly within the eSIM.
The eSIM enables devices like the Gear S2 Classic 3G to effortlessly connect to TIM’s network in Italy using a QR code. Users are able to make calls, send text messages, and receive certain notifications all without the need to be connected to a Smartphone for cellular data connectivity.
