Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 Won’t Launch in the US
Samsung has recently introduced a new generation watch in the Galaxy F lineup as the Galaxy Fit 3. The company has officially announced it, which has grabbed the attention of many tech enthusiasts, but the company has also brought sad news by saying that it will launch the watch in limited regions, including Europe, Asia, and South America. This clearly means that users from the United States will not get access to the Galaxy Fit 3.
The main reason behind this is that the market trend in North America is not suitable for the Galaxy Fit 3. According to the information, “Samsung looks holistically across our product portfolio and bundles optimal devices together that align with the market trends and needs for each region.
In simple words, the company has analyzed that there is not enough fitness tracker market to balance out the marketing, distribution, and software support costs necessary to launch the Galaxy Fit 3 in the United States.
Going into the details, according to the report by Canalys global wearable band market analysis. The sales of Fitness Band were booked at about 80 million in 2020, then declined in 2021 to only 60 million, and then next year in 2022, it also received 40 million and 35.8 million in 2023. And this year, Fitness Bad could receive sales of 33 million.
On the other hand, smartwatch sales will jump by 17% to 82 million, and non-smart watches will reach the 90 million mark. The other reason for Samsung to step back from the US market is that some high-level competition is already available, like Xiomi, which offers a $40 smart band and also provides a quality tracker.
The Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 was launched back in February. This watch is built differently from the other Galaxy watchesto delicately fit a fitness band that is lightweight and suitable for tracking sleep, stress, heart rate, and activities like walking, running, and cycling. It doesn’t support other entertainment features like Galaxy watches. To ensure seamless functioning, the company has started rolling out new updates.
Galaxy Fit 3 updates: What’s new?
The Samsung Galaxy Fit3 is getting a new update with the firmware version number R390XXU0AXE1. The update is currently spotted in South Korea and is expected to expand to more regions in the next few days. With the latest update, the company hasn’t introduced any significant features, but the changelog says that it will apply some new security codes, which indicates that the update will improve the overall security of the devices.

Samsung introduced its latest AI TV, Neo QLED 8K QN900D, coupled with advanced technologies for enhancing the viewing experience.
Samsung has powered the latest AI TV with its most efficient and powerful processor, the 8K NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor, as well as a neural processing unit (NPU) that runs twice as fast as its predecessor. This new AI TV features eight times as many neural networks—512 instead of 64. It analyzes and optimizes content in real-time, capable of delivering superior picture and sound quality and elevating the TV experience to one that places viewers at the center.
8K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer Pro deliver high-end clarity by sharpening low-resolution content and minimizing ball distortion and blurring. Samsung adds Active Voice Amplifier Pro to distinguish between voice and background noise.
While watching any show on TV, the Object Tracking Sout (OTS) Pro, viewers are no longer spectators. The AI Optimization automatically fine-tunes the settings for the best viewing experience, and the AI Auto Game Mode helps to recognize game titles and genres and automatically optimizes settings for an upgraded experience.
AI Energy Mode conserves energy by using sensors to analyze ambient lighting before automatically adjusting the AI TV screen’s brightness. The Samsung Tizen OS changed the AI TV into more than an entertainment center.
Samsung’s AI TV continues to grow to do just that by pushing the frontier of audio as well as visual experience and upgrading sustainability while putting AI to work under the hood.
