Pictures of Samsung's rumored fitness tracker surface (updated)
Samsung already manufactures smartwatches, including the Samsung Gear S2. Now, photographs of a fitness tracker known internally as Triathlon have surfaced. The device has a model number of SM-R150, and looks like the Sport variant of the Tizen powered Gear 2 smartwatch (right down to the rotating bezel). Like the Gear S2, the wearable is powered by Tizen.
UPDATE: It appears the new "photographs" are actually screenshots of a promo video of Samsung's Body Compass 2.0 system. The device that's seen there might still be a glimpse of the upcoming fitness tracker, or it may just be a demo device, or some sort of Gear S2 variation. We've embedded the video below.
The Samsung SM-R150 is reportedly going to be an affordable product. While pricing and availability are unknown, we would expect the usual features for a fitness tracker including the monitoring of the user's heart rate, sleeping patterns, exercise goals, pulse and calories burned. It also appears to keep track of a user's water intake and body fat measurement.
