Samsung Galaxy Fit 3: The next-gen fitness tracker that’s more like a smartwatch
Soon, there might be a new Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 fitness tracker. As per the leaked photos of the purported smart gadget by WindowsReport today, it has a new appearance for the series and appears to have a significantly improved screen. So far, it is able to analyze only a few pieces of information about the gadget. Three years is a long time in the consumer technology world; this was the actual time that the Galaxy Fit 2 was launched. Though it is unconfirmed of the Galaxy Fit 3’s operating system, the pictures reveal a new watchface.
Although Samsung is more likely to remain with more basic fitness tracker software, such as its earlier RTOS, it is feasible that the firm may integrate Wear OS. Its predecessor, the Galaxy Fit 2, was launched as a low-cost tracker with a 1.1-inch AMOLED-colored screen, which offered the advantages of 50 meters of water resistance and 15 days of battery life.
What’s new with the Galaxy Fit 3?
- This time, the Fit 3 model is getting a bigger screen with the same AMOLED display.
- A heart rate monitor sensor and docking connectors are also visible on the rear part of the Galaxy Fit 3.
- Fit 3 may have a GPS sensor, which the Fit 2 lacked; however, it has a thinner appearance than the later.
- A built-in memory for storing and stand-alone music playback while the device is not linked to the phone is possible.
- With the Galaxy Fit 3 tracker, you cannot change the color of your wristband, as with the Fit 2 tracker. So the users need to stick with the color that they purchase.
There are a few tiny openings on the inside of the watch band that go parallel to the top of the Samsung Fit 3. Those could be buttons to more easily release the springs, like the ones Samsung added to the Watch 6. On the other hand, they could provide respite from perspiration and let air flow through while exercising. The upcoming tracker may have an extended battery life—longer than 15 days of battery life.

Samsung has bigger plans to expand its smart wearable family beyond expectations, as Galaxy Glasses are next in line.
Samsung, apart from the forthcoming sixth-generation foldable Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 Galaxy Ringdevices, which are supposed to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked Event 2024 in July, is also busy expanding the wearable area by debuting a brand new smart glasses.
Back in 2023, Samsung had already trademarked the name for its smart glasses, Galaxy Glasses, from which reports regarding this are blowing. And now the recent reports are unveiling that Samsung has now filed a patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization for its smart glasses.
It is being speculated by Patently Apple that the patent displays the potential design of smart glasses by Samsung along with its charging case. Although the design of the glasses does not appear to be too different from the usual spectacles, For more details, the patent reveals some technical details about it.
The patent is revealing that the lenses are housed in their default place, but the left rim of them has magnetic connection points that will permit the glasses to charge while placed on their cover. The batteries are placed at each temple tip. Curiously, the patent makes no mention of cameras or sensors—components generally expected in XR devices.

For now, nothing more has been revealed; the patent only reveals some insights, and it’s too early to say if Samsung will launch this product.
However, Samsung has not unveiled anything regarding the smartphone officially yet, but it is expected that some news from Tipster and the brand will get revealed soon.
