Not just a foldable phone: Samsung has updated its entire line of wearable devices



    In the past few days, news about new smartphones presented by Samsung has not left the media. We are talking about several S10 models and, of course, the Galaxy Fold, a smart device for almost $ 2000 (in Europe it’s 2000 euros).

    The corporation has updated not only the range of smartphones, but also wearable gadgets in the Galaxy family. Information about this appeared a few days before the presentation, and the news is very interesting. So, the company released a new Galaxy Watch Active watch, Galaxy Fit tracker and Galaxy Buds headphones.

    As for the headphones , these are wireless devices that can work for about 6 hours on a single charge. Like IconX, the headphones are charged in their own cradle, which gives another 7 hours of work. By the way, the difference between Buds and IconX is the ability to wirelessly charge the cradle itself. The battery charge can be replenished from any of the Galaxy S10 models.



    The company decided to reduce the size of the headphones, making them about a third smaller than Gear IconX. A digital assistant (whose capabilities are modified) is built into the functionality of the headphones. So the users of the latter can send messages, answer calls, change tracks and perform many other functions using Bixby (or without it). If desired, you can switch to the Google Assistant.



    The wireless connection works via Bluetooth 5 protocol, the company decided to introduce a new wireless standard in all its devices where there is a wireless communication module.

    And something else


    Of course, Samsung would not have been Samsung if it had not updated the model range of its smart watches and trackers. So, the corporation introduced the Galaxy Watch Active, a smart watch that runs on the basis of Tizen OS. Their geometry has not changed much, remaining the same as that of the Galaxy watch. But now there is no rotating metal rim.

    Previously, it was used as an additional (and rather convenient) tool for interacting with a watch, along with a touchscreen. Now this idea has been abandoned, focusing on a minimalist design. True, there were two more physical buttons. As before, the watch is waterproof and dustproof, plus relatively shockproof.

    Galaxy Watch Active is a great tracker, they track user activity throughout the day, just like Gear Sport did. The watch has a built-in heart rate monitor and GPS.

    Inside is an Exynos 9110 processor, 4 GB of memory, 768 RAM, NFC and a 230 mAh battery. The watch supports wireless charging, not only from the charger, but also from smartphones in the S10 line. The developers said that the watch is able to track blood pressure, but so far it is unclear how this is implemented.

    If the user does not need a smart watch, then Samsung offers a fitness tracker (which, of course, has a watch function). The tracker is called Galaxy Fit, this is a continuation of the entire Fit line, and it’s quite good. The gadget has a 0.95-inch touchscreen, heart rate monitor and NFC. According to the developers, the battery capacity is enough for a whole week of work.

    The smartwatch and tracker have a tool for tracking stressful situations - gadgets track them according to a number of parameters, including rapid breathing.

    Headphones from Samsung will go on sale March 8 at a price of $ 129 (in Europe, probably more expensive). The watch will go on sale on the same day at a price of $ 199, and pre-orders can be made already on February 21. Galaxy Fit will go on sale May 31 at a price of $ 99.
