New Samsung Wearable on FCC

The listing unveils the rear design schematics of the wearable which seems to carry some heart rate sensor along with the certification details. We could even spot the pogo pin charger which has remained part of the Galaxy Fit series for the past several years. It seems to bundle with a 5W adapter if we consider the rating information on the rear side of the schematic. Further, it is tested with a B319 battery.

It will be a successor to the Galaxy Fit 2 which was launched a few years ago featuring a 1.1-inch AMOLED display, 5ATM water resistance, and a few other features. Following the predecessor, we expect the new Galaxy Fit 3 to feature a heart rate sensor, accelerometer, automatic workout detection, sleep tracking, and a few new features. Further, it will surely bring utility features such as notifications sync, music controls, etc. We expect Samsung to bring a Calling feature considering the current competition in the same segment.

It will run rtOS which aids all the above features. However, nothing is confirmed yet from Samsung’s side, but the certification listing confirms a new Samsung Wearable is in the works.

Samsung announced the Galaxy Fit 2 in September 2020. It is an affordable fitness tracker from the company. Almost one and a half years after its debut, the wearable is receiving a new firmware update that brings some useful features.

According to TizenHelp (via SamMobile), Samsung has started seeding a new software update for the Galaxy Fit 2 in India weighing at just 2.16MB. It arrives with firmware version R220XXU1AVB8. The update should be available in other regions in the coming days.

The latest update for wearable comes with three new features. Users can now finally control their smartphone’s camera shutter on their fitness tracker. Further, they can now send a message while declining an incoming call. Finally, the update also adds ‘Rope Jumpig’ counting feature.

The changelog says that the camera shutter control feature only works on devices running Android 7.0 Nougat or higher. This is fine as there aren’t many active users on Android 6.0 Marshmallow or blow.

The last firmware update for the Galaxy Fit 2 was released back in late March 2021. In other words, the new update arrives almost a year after the last one.

As of now, there doesn’t seem to be any rumor regarding the successor for this fitness tracker. Also, it is not known how long Samsung will be providing software support for this product as it is almost sold out in most markets.

Samsung has announced the Galaxy Fit 2, a successor to the Galaxy Fit that was announced last year. The new tracker comes in two colors and boasts a 2-week battery life.

The Galaxy Fit 2 has a 1.1-inch AMOLED touch display with up to 70 different watch faces, some of which are customizable. Samsung claims the fitness tracker can automatically detect and track five different activities. However, the total number of activities it can track and monitor is more than 90.

There is also sleep tracking, a calorie counter, a heart rate monitor, distance, and more. The Galaxy Fit 2 has an IP68 rating, so you can wear it in the shower or even when it is raining.

The 195mAh battery is expected to provide up to 15 days of battery life on a single charge and there is compatibility with Android and iOS devices. Connection is via Bluetooth 5.0. Samsung is pitting this as an alternative to the Galaxy Watch for those who want a smaller and less expensive device for health tracking.

The Galaxy Fit 2 will be available in Germany on October 2 for €46.76 and buyers will be able to choose from orange and black colorways. There is no news of the price and availability in other countries.
