It seems that Samsung is nearing the launch of its anticipated Galaxy Fit 3 wearable device. This new device will succeed the Galaxy Fit 2, which is almost three years old.

The Galaxy Fit 3 was accidentally revealed on a Samsung website just days ago, and now some retail boxes have been spotted in the wild, according to Gizmochina. Although the retail boxes don’t reveal any new information that we didn’t already know, they do suggest that Samsung is getting ready to launch the Galaxy Fit 3 very soon.

As you can see in the image above, the Galaxy Fit 3 looks to arrive in at least two colors: white and black. However, there’s no way of knowing what material will be used for the watch body. As previously noted, the Samsung UAE website was the first to leak information about the Galaxy Fit 3. Although the content was removed quickly, it was still available in the website’s cache. According to the leak, the upcoming Galaxy Fit 3 will significantly upgrade the previous model.

The Galaxy Fit 3 is expected to feature a 1.6-inch AMOLED display, measuring 40mm diagonally. The watch will have up to 13 days of battery life between charges. The wearable will also have advanced health tracking features, safety features like fall detection, and over 100 customizable watch faces.

The upcoming wearable device could also have a sleep coach function that offers personalized recommendations to users on improving their sleep habits based on their sleep patterns and routines. This feature was also present on the Galaxy Watch 6 released last year.

The leaked information about the Galaxy Fit 3 suggests that it will have a similar shape to the Apple Watch. However, it is not expected to be a direct competitor to the Apple Watch. The starting price of the Apple Watch SE 2 is $249, while the Galaxy Fit 3 may be priced as low as $99. This puts it in the same price range as the Fitbit Charge 6 and Fitbit Inspire 3.

If the leaks are accurate, Samsung will likely reveal the Galaxy Fit 3 soon. However, it is unclear why the company didn’t announce it earlier this year when it launched the Galaxy S24 series.

This news follows Samsung’s tease that it’s working on the Galaxy Ring. If both devices are released this year, 2024 could be a significant year for Samsung’s health initiatives.

Have one of these Samsung devices? You won’t get software updates anymore
Four galaxy z flip3 5g phones.

When you buy a phone, you expect it to work for at least a couple of years, if not longer. For many people, the time to upgrade to a new device is when it no longer receives security updates. Samsung has announced the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, Galaxy Tab S7, and Galaxy Tab S7 Plus will receive no more software updates. All three devices are now four years old, having launched in August 2020. That's about the average timespan for supporting mobile devices, but it still feels a little too short.

If you own one of these three gadgets, you might want to think about getting a newer version. While the Z Flip 5G, Tab S7, and Tab S7 Plus will all continue to work (at least for a while), they will be less secure. Software updates aren't just for improving performance and adding new features but also for patching vulnerabilities that could put your data at risk. If nothing else, make sure to use a VPN when handling any personal or banking information.

Samsung quietly launched a new phone, and it’s ridiculously cheap
A render of the Samsung Galaxy A06 smartphone.

Companies routinely launch products in other countries that never see a release here in the U.S., but that doesn't mean we don't wish they did. Samsung launched the Galaxy A06 in India after it was first revealed last month in Vietnam, and it's the kind of budget-friendly phone we just don't see that often.

Priced at just $120 or $135, this phone is hugely affordable. Seriously, my current phone bill is more expensive than the Galaxy A06. It runs Android 14, has a 6.7-inch LCD display, and comes in two configurations: 4GB RAM/64GB storage and 4GB RAM/128GB storage. You can opt for light blue, black, and gold color choices.

Samsung’s next tablet may have a big edge over the iPad Pro
Recent apps view on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve come across a few purported product renders of the next flagship Samsung tablet, along with some details of its key specs. Now, leaker Evan Blass has shared an alleged render of the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra that reveals one stunning detail.

Alongside the bottom edge of the tablet, we get not one, but two USB Type-C ports. This isn't the first time we have seen this feature, but it is a fresh approach for Samsung tablets. The rest of the design — including its slim metallic shell, dual cameras, thin bezels, and notch — is carried over from its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.
