Samsung Galaxy Fit 2: What’s new?
The most obvious upgrade for the Galaxy Fit 2 as compared to the original is the larger display. The Galaxy Fit 2 has a 1.1-inch display with a 126 x 294 resolution. This trumps the Galaxy Fit’s 0.95-inch display by a significant margin.
Despite the display getting bigger, the wearable’s case is close to the same size as the older model and slightly lighter at just 21g.
Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 The latest fitness tracker from Samsung
Boasting a larger display and a bigger battery than its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 is a smartly-priced wearable from a trusted brand.
Underneath the hood, there’s a larger battery, too. The 159mAh cell has a higher capacity than the 120mAh cell of the original, which should give longer overall battery life. Samsung claims you can get up to three weeks of battery life from the Galaxy Fit 2, depending on the settings. We’d need to test that out ourselves before we’d believe it, though.
If you’re interested in the Galaxy Fit 2, you can grab it right now from Samsung.com for $60. It will likely land at third-party retailers soon.
