Samsung has just started its IFA 2020 conference and has done it in style. The firm has presented a good batch of products, such as refrigerators, washing machines, a new 5G mid-range, a multi- device wireless charging base, a tablet and, of course, the wearable that concerns us in this text: the Samsung Galaxy Fit2.
It is a quantifying bracelet that comes to replace the Galaxy Fit that we already know. It is a bracelet that stands out for its lightness and, according to Samsung, for its battery, since it is capable of offering up to 15 days of autonomy “extendable to 21 days” depending on the configuration and conditions. At the moment, the company has not disclosed its price or availability.

AMOLED panel and water resistance
The new Galaxy Fit2 has a similar design to the original Galaxy Fit, preserving the aesthetics of Korean wearables. It can be obtained in two colors: pastel red and black. The device weighs about 21 grams which, to put it in context, is nine grams more than the Mi Band 5, which weighs 11.9 grams. It is IP68 certified, so it can be wet and worn during swimming exercises.
Regarding the screen, it mounts a 1.1-inch curved AMOLED touch panel, of course, which can be customized with up to 70 different covers. At the bottom, for its part, we have the heart rate sensor that the bracelet will use to monitor our exercise sessions.
Speaking of exercise, it is capable of detecting and recording up to five different types of activities and displaying information on calories burned, heart rate, distance traveled, etc. It also analyzes sleep and, as other bracelets and watches do, gives a score and displays a breakdown of metrics.
In terms of connectivity, the device will communicate with our smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth 5.0, although it is also compatible with WiFi ac . It is compatible with iOS and Android, as long as they are Android phones with Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher and 1.5 GB of RAM or more, or an iPhone 7 onwards with iOS 10.0 or higher. A priori, there should be no compatibility problems with the vast majority of current mobiles.
Versions and price of the Samsung Galaxy Fit2
As we indicated previously, the bracelet can be purchased in red or black. Its price has not yet been revealed, nor its availability . Be that as it may, and in case it helps to get an idea of the price ranges, it should be remembered that the Samsung Galaxy Fit costs 99 euros and that the Samsung Galaxy Fit e, which is smaller, 39 euros.
