Samsung Galaxy Fit 4 Leak Shows a New Curved Band

Samsung’s Galaxy Fit 4 has appeared in leaked images and a video, pointing to a refresh of the company’s affordable fitness-tracker line. According to 9to5Google, the new band looks close to the 2024 Galaxy Fit 3 in hardware, but Samsung has changed the strap curve and shown the device in three colours. It is a leak, not a launch, so we still do not have confirmed specifications, price or release timing.

The bigger picture is straightforward. Samsung appears to be keeping a small, simpler wearable alongside its Galaxy Watch range, rather than turning the Fit into a full smartwatch. 9to5Google describes the Fit line as a more affordable, less advanced alternative that retains core fitness tracking and a clock face. For runners and gym-goers who want basic tracking without a huge case or app-heavy watch, that approach still makes sense.

A more watch-like Fit

The leaked design edges a little closer to Apple Watch styling, especially in the alternate colourways and the reshaped band. That does not mean it becomes an Apple Watch rival in capability. It means Samsung is trying to make an entry-level tracker look less like an afterthought. The Cipher Project images, shared through Telegram, provide the visual evidence, while Android Authority uncovered video showing the band mechanism and the sensors on the rear.

That rear view matters mostly because it confirms this is wearable hardware rather than a rendered placeholder. It does not tell us what the sensors can measure or how accurately they will perform. Until Samsung publishes the details, we should resist filling in gaps with Galaxy Watch assumptions. A fitness band can be the right tool for daily activity and simple workout records without promising the training depth endurance athletes expect from a dedicated sports watch.

Samsung’s value question

Pricing could be the Fit 4’s strongest lever. The Galaxy Fit 3 launched in the US at $60, according to 9to5Google, and still sells for less even after Samsung ended first-party sales. Samsung has not announced Fit 4 pricing, but that history sets a clear expectation: this line needs to remain substantially more approachable than the Galaxy Watch family.

It will also face Google’s Fitbit Edge, which 9to5Google identifies as a rival at launch. Fitbit’s newer tracker is positioned around a slimmer everyday form factor, while its published feature list includes GPS, an altimeter and a replaceable battery, as covered in our [Fitbit Edge overview](/en/articles/fitbit-edge-adds-gps-altimeter-and-replaceable-battery-2026-10-17). Samsung’s leak gives us no equivalent Fit 4 feature list yet. That is the frustrating part. We cannot judge its workout usefulness, battery stamina, GPS provision or sensor package from a curved strap and a glimpse of the back.

Our early verdict: Galaxy Fit 4 looks like a sensible refresh for Samsung phone users who want a compact, low-cost daily tracker, not proof that Samsung has built a serious endurance watch. Athletes needing a full smartwatch can look to the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, while iPhone users are limited to Apple’s ecosystem. Tom’s Guide found both Ultra watches closely matched on a half marathon, but also called out sports-watch-like capability without sports-watch battery life. Fit 4’s job should be simpler: stay affordable, stay comfortable, and make the essentials reliable.
