Back in February, Samsung announced several devices
at its unpacked event including the Galaxy S10 trio, Galaxy Watch Active, as
well as an entry-level fitness band among them: the Galaxy Fit-e. It’s a basic
fitness tracker with no smartwatch features for a low cost to customers.
According to a report from Android Pit, the fitness
tracker will be coming to the United States on May 21 for a retail price of US$ 35. The band isn’t available anywhere yet, but Samsung’s Albania website has the
wearable listed.
As per the listing, the Galaxy Fit-e will come in
black, white, and yellow. The Fit-e can track your workouts, heart rate, step
count, and can perform sleep tracking as well. It has a 70mAh battery on-board
and is estimated to last about 6 to 7 days with regular use. It has a 0.74-inch
monochrome POLED display and can display notifications and show incoming calls.
Samsung has had much success with fully-featured
smartwatches since the Gear S and the lower-tier Gear Fit. With the Galaxy Fit-e,
Samsung is now competing against a slew of Chinese-made low-cost fitness bands
like Huawei and Xiaomi. We wonder how Samsung will set the Fit-e apart from its
Chinese competitors.
