Samsung has been working on a fitness tracker designed for fans who don’t need the full user experience smartwatch offers but at the same time want a fitness tracker for basic parameters like heart rate, pulse etc. The device dubbed Galaxy Fit-e was spotted last week on Samsung Albania’s site. The device has again reappeared on the company’s Portugal website where the Galaxy Fit-e and Galaxy Fit are open for pre-booking.
The website also gives us an insight into some of the key specs of the Galaxy Fit models. According to the details available, the Fit-e will feature a 0.74-inch monochrome PMOLED display. It will run on the Cortex M0 processor with only 128KB of RAM and 4MB of internal storage. The fitness tracker only supports incoming notifications without the option to respond. In addition, the Galaxy Fit-e features automatic motion detection, sleep analysis and heart rate tracking.
The battery cell is 70 mAh and Samsung claims that it is sufficient for 10 days of utilization on a solitary charge. The band weighs only 15 grams and features MIL-STD-810G durability and Bluetooth 5.0 support.
The more costly Galaxy Fit will pack a 0.95-inch full-screen AMOLED display. It will be powered by a Cortex M33F SoC with 2MB RAM and 32MB of storage. Among the features onboard include notification interactions, automatic motion detection as well as sleep, stress, and heart-rate tracking thanks to its accelerometer, gyroscope and heart rate sensors. The device will pack a 120 mAh battery which will last as long as 7 days of autonomous use. The tracker weighs 23 grams and features the same MIL-STD-810G ruggedness and Bluetooth 5.0 support as the cheaper Fit-e.

The Gear Fit-e will come in White, Black, and Yellow while the Gear Fit will be available in Black and Silver only. The two fitness trackers are expected to arrive in more markets soon.
