Previous Galaxy Fit models lacked built-in NFC, potentially making the Galaxy Fit 4 the first in the lineup to include this connectivity. It will likely sync with the Samsung Wallet app on Galaxy smartphones, letting users access their credit and debit cards directly from their wrist.

The tracker can also integrate with the Modes & Routines app on Galaxy phones. Users will get a wide selection of customizable first-party watch faces, alongside built-in apps and widgets (Tiles). In addition, you can set custom watch faces using photos from the Gallery app.

Beyond mirroring phone notifications, the device appears to feature an onboard speaker. This opens up the possibility of taking voice calls directly on the fitness tracker when paired with a compatible phone.
