While the Galaxy Watch series gets most of the glory, Samsung also makes smart bands. Well, occasionally. The Galaxy Fit2 was announced in September 2020 alongside the Galaxy Tab A7 and there hasn’t been a new one since. This will change soon.
This information comes from the Korean branch of the Samsung Community forum. A user asked about the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 and when it might come out. The answer is in the second half of this year or (if there is a delay in the schedule) in the first half of next year.
Apparently the band will cost around KRW 49,000-50,000. Unsurprisingly, it’s the same price as the Fit2 (KRW 49,500), so the new one should launch at the same price as the old one in your region, e.g. $ 60 in the US, € 50 in Europe.
The Samsung Galaxy Fit2, launched in September 2020
It is unknown what new features the Galaxy Fit3 may have. The Fit2 brought a larger display (0.9 “to 1.1”), a slightly larger battery and much improved efficiency that nearly doubled battery life compared to the original Fit (up to 14-15 days of average use). Seeing as it is now nearly 2 years old, Fit2 lags behind competing bands, which offer SpO2 sensors, integrated GPS receivers, and so on.
Keep in mind that this information comes from a community manager, so it may not be 100% reliable – product line decisions are made by people at the top of the company. Either way, it looks like the band isn’t coming with the launch of the Galaxy Watch5 (which will coincide with the launch of the fourth generation foldable), so all we can do is settle and wait.
