Samsung has unveiled a new lightweight fitness tracker, the Samsung Galaxy Fit2, with a super long battery life that directly challenges the newly launched Fitbit Inspire 2.
The Inspire 2, which launched last week, can last up to 10 days between charges (making it the longest-lasting Fitbit ever), but now Samsung has gotten better with a device that can keep going for just over two. weeks.
Samsung revealed the Galaxy Fit 2 during its IFA 2020 virtual event. As the name implies, it is a successor to last year’s Galaxy Fit, with a recently trimmed look that should result in a lighter weight. While the original Galaxy Fit had an aluminum casing, making it a particularly sharp-looking activity band, the Fit 2’s body and strap are all one piece of molded silicone.
Like the original Fit, the new watch has a color touchscreen, although this time there is no button on the side of the case; instead, there is a virtual button just below the screen that serves the same purpose.
Fitness features
Details are scant so far, but we don’t expect the Fit 2’s feature set to differ much from its predecessor, with all-day heart rate tracking, activity tracking, sleep tracking, and stress tracking.
We wouldn’t expect to see GPS on board in a device this size (you’ll want something like the slightly larger Fitbit Charge 4 for that), but the original Fit couldn’t even piggyback on your phone’s GPS to accurately track your runs. and walks. We hope the Fit 2 rectifies this, making it a more practical option for anyone who wants to measure outdoor activities to any degree of precision.
Samsung has yet to announce pricing or a release date for the Galaxy Fit 2, but the original Fit launched at $ 99.99 (around £ 75 / AU $ 135). The all-silicone design means the Fit 2 looks like a less premium device, but considering the vast improvement in battery life, we wouldn’t be surprised if it was priced the same at launch.
IFA 2020 is Europe’s largest tech show (albeit much smaller this year due to global restrictions), and TechRadar will bring you all the breaking news and first impressions of new custom televisions, handhelds and other gadgets. that are advertised.
