Samsung is gearing up to revive its Fit series with the upcoming Fit 3, as leaked images have surfaced online (thanks to Windows Report), providing a glimpse into the device's enhanced features and design modifications. The Fit 2, released in 2020, marked the last installment in Samsung's Fit lineup, making the Fit 3 a highly anticipated addition to the fitness tracker market.

The most noticeable upgrade is the Fit 3's larger, more informative display, a departure from the 1.1-inch AMOLED screen of its predecessor. The leaked images suggest a substantial increase in panel size, likely featuring AMOLED technology for vibrant visuals and improved readability.

While the operating system of the Fit 3 remains uncertain, speculations range from the potential adoption of Wear OS to Samsung sticking with a streamlined fitness tracker software, akin to its previous rtOS. The display chassis extends beyond the watch band, hinting at a significant size for the Fit 3, positioning it as a substantial fitness tracker without reaching the dimensions of a Galaxy Watch or Fitbit Sense.

Underneath the device, a sensor array is visible, likely accommodating a heart rate sensor and possibly a temperature sensor, showcasing Samsung's commitment to integrating advanced health monitoring technologies. The leaked images provide limited insight into the device's internal workings, leaving room for anticipation and speculation.

Examining the inner part of the watch band, small slits running parallel to the top of the Fit 3 suggest the potential inclusion of buttons, reminiscent of the Watch 6's design. Alternatively, these slits may serve as ventilation for sweat and air circulation during physical activities, emphasizing the device's practicality and user comfort.

As details about the Fit 3 continue to emerge, the leaked images did not offer information about the official announcement date. However, there's speculation that Samsung might unveil the Fit 3 during the Galaxy S24 launch event in January, adding an element of excitement for fitness enthusiasts and tech aficionados alike.
