The South Korean tech giant, Samsung, is planning to launch a new fitness band. The upcoming device has been certified by the FCC certification authority, suggesting that the device will debut soon.
Here’s more about it.
Samsung’s Upcoming Fitness Band
Most brands have started to focus more on releasing smartwatch devices and we have already witnessed the launch of many smartwatches this year. The case of Xiaomi, one of the leading Chinese consumer electronics manufacturers, is however an exception. Xiaomi has been regularly launching smart band devices every year and very recently the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 was unveiled in the global market.
Samsung had launched its Galaxy Watch 6 series devices, which comprised of the Galaxy Watch 6 and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, this year. Now, it has been revealed that the brand is preparing to compete with Xiaomi this year with a new smart band device. This upcoming wearable with the model number – SM-R390, has made it to the FCC certification platform, and its schematic image has been revealed.
What we have is the back side view of the device and we are able to spot a heart rate sensor and two pogo pins that are to be used for charging the wearable. In addition, its model number(SM-R390) and the FCC ID(ZCASMR390) are also written on its back.
Regarding its other specifications, nothing has been revealed yet, but the device is supposedly going to have a larger display with a few feature upgrades. Possibly this smart band will likely be the successor to the already available Galaxy Fit 2 and may be called the Galaxy Fit 3.
Galaxy Fit 2 – Specifications
The Galaxy Fit 2 smart band has an AMOLED display panel with a screen size of 1.1″ and runs on the FreeRTOS operating system. The device features a 5ATM water-resistant body and has a slim form factor design.
Some of the sensors equipped with the device are the heart rate monitor, gyroscope, accelerometer, automatic workout detector, and sleep tracker. The device is also capable of displaying notifications and calls and comes with a music controller for the connected smartphone.
