Galaxy Fit 4 App Hints at Contactless Payments
Samsung is developing the Galaxy Fit 4, a follow-up to its Fit 3 tracker.
Screenshots of its companion app show a Wallet option, which suggests the band may support contactless payments using NFC.
The feature has not been confirmed on the physical device, and the Wallet option could also be for storing passes or tickets.
Google’s Fitbit Edge and Fitbit Air, as well as Garmin’s CIRQA, do not offer contactless payments, according to the information available.
That could make the Fit 4 a more convenient choice for people who want payments without a smartwatch.
Its price and whether the feature affects battery life remain unknown, so Samsung’s final features and pricing will matter.
Screenshots of Samsung’s Galaxy Fit 4 Manager app show a Wallet option, suggesting the upcoming fitness tracker may support NFC contactless payments.
Samsung has not confirmed that the physical device will include NFC or payment features.
The app screenshots also show settings for sounds and vibrations, which may indicate the tracker will have a speaker and haptic motor.
The feature could distinguish the Galaxy Fit 4 from fitness trackers such as Google’s Fitbit Edge, which does not support payments.
