Samsung Galaxy Fit3 form-factor update revealed ahead of launch

It has now been nearly 3 years since Samsung released a new fitness tracker, thereby giving the impression that it had abandoned the category in favor of the more elaborate, full-featured Galaxy Watch series instead. However, there is now evidence that the Galaxy Fit3 is on the way after all.

The allegedly upcoming device may be the one registered by Samsung as the SM-R390 with the FCC. The regulator has kindly disclosed a product schematic that clearly shows the device has taken on a new form factor that could almost make the Fit3 look like a square-faced smartwatch compared to its long thin forebear.

Nevertheless, the new chassis seems to have been certified to use Bluetooth and nothing else thus far, despite the South Korean giant's self-hyped role as a smart connected ecosystem OEM. Therefore, it is possible that the next Galaxy Fit might look more than a little underwhelming next to other products, even the SmartTag2 and its potential for advanced UWB trickery.
