Larger battery capacity spotted
It’s been a while since Samsung released a dedicated fitness tracker wearable, but based on the leaks we’ve seen so far, the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 is shaping up fairly nicely – and it may even have increased battery life.
According to MySmartPrice, regulatory files for a device that is very likely to be the Galaxy Fit 3 have surfaced in Germany and India. They reveal some of the wearable’s specifications, such as battery capacity and charging speed.
The battery capacity is indicated as 200mAh, which is 41mAh greater than its predecessor – for more information, visit our Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 review. In our prior model testing, we were able to go around seven days between charges.
That greater capacity means that better battery life is possible, however it’s also worth noting that the Fit 3 is reported to have a larger screen, which will effect time between charges as well.
What we might witness
Meanwhile, the charging speed of the Galaxy Fit 3 is advertised as 5W. We couldn’t discover the same spec for the Fit 2, but it’s likely to be similar. According to Samsung, the Galaxy Fit 2 charges from zero to full in just under two hours.
The Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 had previously been speculated to have a better suite of sensors, and there’s a strong probability that some type of generative AI will be involved (see also the Samsung Galaxy S24 and just about every other forthcoming smartphone at the moment).
We’ve stated that we want built-in GPS and an always-on display from the Galaxy Fit 3, and there’s clearly opportunity for improvement over the Galaxy Fit 2 – which was released in 2020.
The presence of the Galaxy Fit 3 at various regulators is a strong indication that a launch is imminent: it’s unclear when that will be, but the improved fitness tracker will almost certainly debut alongside the Samsung Galaxy S24, most likely in January.
