Samsung Galaxy Fit 4 leak

Samsung’s next fitness band has moved from rumor to regulatory paper trail. U.S. FCC materials reviewed by multiple outlets this week point to an unannounced Samsung wearable carrying model number SM-R391 and “FIT4” branding, suggesting the company is preparing a successor to the Galaxy Fit 3. Tech Advisor reported on August 5 that the Galaxy Fit 4 is expected later this year, citing Android Authority’s review of the filings and label documents. Gadgets 360 and other outlets published similar accounts on August 4 after the FCC listing appeared. The filings do not amount to a product launch. Samsung has not published an announcement, price, release date or full specification sheet for the device. (fccid.io) What the records do provide is a model number, a label reference and a limited hardware outline. ### What exactly showed up in the FCC trail? FCC-linked label material available through third-party databases identifies a Samsung wearable as SM-R391 and includes “FIT4” in the document name. (techadvisor.com) Android Authority said the filing was the first clear sign that Samsung’s next fitness band was in active certification. The U.S. filing also points to Bluetooth Low Energy support, according to Gadgets 360 and Tech Advisor. (fccid.io) That is a standard feature for this category, but it is one of the few concrete functions described in reporting tied to the certification documents. ### Does the leak say Samsung is copying the screenless Fitbit Air idea? Tech Advisor reported that the Galaxy Fit 4 appears likely to keep a screen rather than move to a screenless design. (fccid.io) That conclusion was based on a device diagram found in the filing materials and on the reported similarity to the Galaxy Fit 3. Android Authority and follow-on coverage said the hardware sketch shows a back design that looks close to the current model. (techadvisor.com) TechRadar’s account, echoed in syndicated coverage, said that would set Samsung apart from Google’s Fitbit Air, which has been framed in reports as a lower-cost rival without a display. ### How much of the hardware is actually known? Reports tied to the FCC entry mention a Goodix GH3036 sensor module and a PPG chip, both associated with heart-rate and related health tracking. (techadvisor.com) Gadgets 360 said the filing suggests heart-rate monitoring and sleep tracking support, while Tech Advisor described the components as part of Samsung’s next low-power wearable setup. (androidauthority.com) Many headline features remain unconfirmed. Tech Advisor said there are still no firm signs of upgrades such as built-in GPS or NFC, and Android Authority made the same point in its report on the filing. ### Why are comparisons to the Galaxy Fit 3 important? Samsung’s current Galaxy Fit 3 is the clearest baseline for judging what Fit 4 may keep or change. Samsung says the Fit 3 has a 208mAh battery, up to 13 days of battery life, IP68 protection and an optical heart-rate sensor, and it supports notifications and preset text replies when paired with an Android phone. (techadvisor.com) Tech Advisor said the new device appears visually close to the Fit 3 and may again use a tall AMOLED display. (techadvisor.com) The publication also noted the Fit 3 launched in February 2024 and sold at $59 in the United States, giving a rough reference point for where Samsung’s next band could sit in the market if it stays in the budget tier. ### So what can be said with confidence right now? (samsung.com) Samsung is in the certification stage with a wearable identified as SM-R391 and labeled “FIT4” in filing material. Outside reporting tied to those records says the device is likely a Galaxy Fit 3 successor, likely keeps a display, and supports Bluetooth Low Energy. A launch date is still missing. The next public step will likely be a Samsung product announcement, retailer listing, or additional regulatory filing that fills in price, availability and final features. (techadvisor.com) (fccid.io)
