    Samsung Hints Galaxy Fit 3 Launch Date

    In the second half of this year, Samsung will launch its flagship devices and wearables. In the list of all those products, one product is missing, and that is Galaxy Fit 3. In the past, the company has launched the Galaxy Fit series along with its flagship models, but that didn’t happen since 2021. It’s been two years since Samsung launched the second-generation Galaxy Fit 2 fitness tracker. Since then, many users are waiting for the next Galaxy Fit 3.

    Finally, looks like we have got the answer about when Samsung will launch Galaxy Fit 3. Yes, the official community manager for galaxy Fit has answered it. On the question post, when a user asked a question, then the other user answered it. Later, the manager quoted the answer and accepted it as an accurate answer.

    As we know, community managers only accept answers if they are satisfied or accurate. It means we could see Galaxy Fit 3 in the second half of this year or early next year. We guess Samsung might launch it with the Galaxy S23 series phones.

    When another user asked for the price of the next smart band, then another user answered with 49,000 to 50,000 won in South Korea, or nearly $39. It is not the final price, and Samsung may label it by looking at its added features.

    The current Mi Smart Band 7, Fitbit Charge 5, and Garmin Vivosmart 5 offer many functions to their users. By looking at the competition, Samsung may introduce SpO2, always-on display, and GPS functions along with a larger display and bigger battery.
