Samsung finally made the Galaxy Fit3 official today after numerous leaks, many from the Korean company. Among the new features are a larger screen, a longer battery life, and a longer battery life on the latest wearable. Samsung has yet to reveal the price of the long-awaited successor to the Fit2. It will be available worldwide starting tomorrow, February 23, but no details have been released.
The Fit3 comes with a 1.6-inch AMOLED display, 45% larger than its predecessor. There is a single button on the right side and a one-click quick-release mechanism for the band. There is no wireless charging on the band, instead, it uses two Pogo pins at its base as its proprietary charger.
First in the Fit series, the Fit3 features Fall Detection and Emergency SOS, which is activated after five rapid presses on the button. When you do that, your location will be shared with your emergency contacts.
With its 208 mAh battery, the Galaxy Fit3 can last 13 days on a single charge. The wearable has no Wear OS or any other heavy interface, just some simple mini apps, calendar, weather, world clock, and sports tracking.
Over 100 workout types can be performed on the Fit3, but without GPS, any activity that involves movement outside would require a smartphone paired with the Fit3. Samsung Health app allows users to track sleep patterns, steps, and stress levels as well.
There will be three colors available for the Galaxy Fit3. These are Gray, Pink Gold, and Silver. It will be released first in Asia, Europe, Central America, and South America, and then in the United States and Korea.
