Samsung’s next budget fitness tracker is almost here, and we now have a good idea of what it can do. A new teardown of the Galaxy Fit 4’s companion app reveals nearly all of its features. If you were hoping for a big upgrade for your Android phone, though, you might be a little disappointed.
SammyGuru dug through the Galaxy Fit 4 Manager app, as Android Authority reports, and the features look very similar to the Galaxy Fit 3 from 2024.
The Galaxy Fit 4 covers the basics. It tracks steps, active time, and calories burned. It also supports sleep tracking with sleep stages, a sleep score, and personalized sleep coaching after seven nights of data. It also offers heart rate monitoring with high- and low-heart-rate alerts, plus manual and continuous stress tracking, with alerts if you’ve been stressed for too long. SammyFans also spotted references to blood oxygen monitoring and snoring detection.
For workouts, there’s automatic activity recognition, multiple workout tiles, and heart rate zone info. Daily goals and extra features like cycle tracking, water and food logging, and breathing exercises live in the Samsung Health app.
Small upgrades, but no GPS
There are a few new touches. The Galaxy Fit 4 can help you find your phone by making it ring. It also gets new notification options, including “Smart device selection” and “Always show on both,” so you can choose whether alerts show up on your phone, your tracker, or both. You can add up to 12 tiles for quick access to information.
The watch faces measure 258 x 428 pixels, which suggests a slightly taller display than the Galaxy Fit 3. That fits with earlier leaks. The Galaxy Fit 4 has already passed FCC certification with Bluetooth 5.4, and leaked renders show a nearly identical design in black, white, and a new mint color.
The biggest disappointment is what’s still missing. The app suggests the Galaxy Fit 4 won’t have built-in GPS, so you’ll need your phone with you for outdoor runs. There’s also no sign of NFC for contactless payments.
That’s a missed opportunity. Google’s new Fitbit Air has been a big hit in the budget fitness tracker space this year, and Samsung could’ve used GPS or NFC to stand out.
Still, the Galaxy Fit 4 doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel. The Galaxy Fit 3 launched at just $59, and if Samsung keeps the price low, the Fit 4 could be a great pick for Galaxy owners who want simple fitness and sleep tracking without paying for a full smartwatch. It should also pair nicely with the Galaxy S27 when it arrives.
