The Samsung Gear Fit 2 is coming soon, if images that appeared on the web this week are legitimate. The original Gear Fit was a super-slim fitness wearable that still incorporated a thin screen; a promising idea but one that didn’t find favour from critics. Now Samsung is back to try again.
As the images show, the Gear Fit 2 will be smaller and thinner than its predecessor, hopefully making it more comfortable to wear all day. According to earlier rumours, the smartwatch-like will sport a 1.84-inch AMOLED screen, with GPS and 4GB of internal storage to allow for some standalone functionality (e.g. recording a running route or playing stored music to Bluetooth headphones).
The Gear Fit 2 should arrive in June, making it only a month away.
Alongside the new Fit, we should see a pair of wireless earbuds called the Samsung Gear IconX. These tiny creations mimic the popular Bragi Dash, with optical heart rate sensors, touch controls and a charging case. 4GB of internal storage, water and dust resistance and automatic activity tracking are also said to be included on the Gear IconX.
