In recent years, Samsung has given pride of place to connected watches. After relying on its in-house operating system, Tizen, the Korean firm now favors that of Google. Since the launch of its Galaxy Watch 4 in summer 2021, the brand’s watches have been equipped with Wear OS; the Watch 5, then Watch 6 (summer 2023) have since succeeded them. When it comes to connected bracelets, Samsung is, however, more discreet.
The Galaxy Fit 2, its latest model of its kind, dates back to fall 2020, and is practically no longer available for purchase, outside of second-hand sales channels. The time seems to be for renewal, at least if we are to believe both the registration of a trademark for a wearable product corresponding quite well to this type of product, and especially the image leaks relayed by Windows Report. If they are authentic, which of course remains to be confirmed, they point to a notable design change.
More in the spirit of a Huawei Watch Fit 2 than a Xiaomi Smart Band 8, to which the Galaxy Fit 2 was similar, Samsung’s next bracelet would feature a much larger screen than that of its predecessor (1 .1 inch, Amoled, in color), probably slightly exceeding 1.5 inches. A navigation button located on the side of the case – offered at least in pink – would facilitate navigation within its interface, and we can see a heart rate sensor under the device. It is also difficult to get a precise idea of the functions available, which seem to be part of a proprietary system. Finally, we note that the bracelet accompanying the Galaxy Fit 3 does not appear to have a standard attachment system. Many gray areas therefore remain, particularly concerning the price of the device. The formalization should not take place before 2024.
