Samsung Develops Galaxy Aero Wearable Without Wear OS, Hinting at 2nd Galaxy Fit Model

3 articles · Updated · SammyGuru · Aug 5

Summary

  • Samsung is developing a wearable codenamed Galaxy Aero, with app references suggesting it will run RTOS rather than Google’s Wear OS.
  • The RTOS label points to a device closer to the Galaxy Fit line, raising the possibility of a premium Fit or Fit Pro that sits between fitness bands and Galaxy Watches.
  • Samsung is already expected to launch the Galaxy Fit 4 in coming months, so Galaxy Aero could either be that product or a separate second model in the lineup.
  • The leak fits Samsung’s broader device push after recent launches including the Galaxy Watch 9, Watch Ultra 2 and new foldables, with smart glasses, a rollable phone and new earbuds also in development.

Insights
