Samsung to develop Noninvasive Blood Sugar Monitor For Galaxy Wearable
Samsung has a vast range of healthcare features within its Galaxy gadgets, such as wearable Galaxy smartwatches. Now, for upgrading and enhancing the users health monitoring experience, the brand is gearing up to introduce ‘noninvasive blood sugar’ monitors and continuous blood pressure checking.
“Noninvasive blood sugar monitoring technology” is a near-infrared spectroscopy technology that determines the content of glucose in the tissue by examining the spectral signal of a beam of infrared light passing through human tissue.
Now it appears that Samsung Electronics aims to introduce these painless sugar-testing health features within a vast range of its Galaxy products, for instance, smartwatches, and recently, at an unpacked event, the Galaxy Ring.
It has come to be known by Samsung executive Hon Pak that Samsung Electronics is setting up an all-out effort to bring essential healthcare metrics through sensors to its users without even going to any laboratory or pathology. With this noninvasive blood sugar monitor or continuous blood pressure monitor, the brand will shake up the wearable industry since these sensor features are not available in many wearable gadgets yet. This will also help millions of people across the globe by detecting any health-related problems just within a few seconds.
Undoubtedly, customers are falling for new and convenient technologies such as health tracking, which helps them monitor their heart rate, sleep, SpO2, stress, and more. And now Samsung Electronics is setting up for the new bang: noninvasive blood sugar monitors and continuous blood pressure monitoring.

The listing reveals the existence of an octa-core processor with the codename pineapple, a 1+3+2+2 core configuration, and an Adreno 750 GPU. Apart from these, one chief core is clocked at 3.40 GHz, and the remaining three performance cores are at 3.15 GHz.

The first quarter of 2024 is already over; during this interval, Samsung has introduced several Galaxy smartphones of particular belonging, such as the flagship Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35, the mid-range ones, the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy F15, the budgetable ones, and many more. But the fact is, after being the latest smartphones, they have a lack of ‘charging speed.’
Undoubtedly, Samsung is leading the tech industry with its top-notch features, design, and larger batteries, as compared to other Android manufacturers, but despite all this, it has a massive lack of charging speed. Samsung usually attaches larger batteries to its Galaxy smartphones to enhance the users’ non-stop-using experience. But a larger battery isn’t worth it unless it has a good charging speed.
On the other hand, Chinese manufacturers are equipping their smartphones with charging speeds north of 100W, whereas 45W is the maximum speed you can get on Galaxy smartphones. However, even 45W charging is quite rare among Galaxy phones. Samsung has launched most of the Galaxy devices in the last couple of years, including the flagship with support for 25W.
Here we are making things easy for you if you are looking to buy a Galaxy smartphone that debuted in 2024 with the support of 45W charging speed by mentioning a list of devices:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Galaxy S24+
- Galaxy F55
- Galaxy M55
- Galaxy C55
The list is quite short, even considering that the Galaxy F55, M55, and C55 are just rebranded variants of the same smartphone for different regions. Now Samsung is setting up to launch its next-generation foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, in July, but it is yet to be confirmed whether these devices will get a boost in charging speeds from 25W or not.
