TL;DR
- Samsung is reportedly developing another affordable wearable alongside the rumored Galaxy Fit 4.
- The device, codenamed Galaxy Aero, appears to run RTOS instead of Wear OS.
- It could slot between the Galaxy Fit 4 and Galaxy Watch FE if it launches.
While recent chatter suggests a Galaxy Fit 4 is already in development, Samsung might have another trick up its sleeve. A new leak hints at a second affordable Galaxy wearable on the horizon, and it could bridge the gap between basic fitness bands and full-blown smartwatches.
According to SamMobile, references hidden inside Samsung’s Galaxy Wearable app point to an unreleased device codenamed “Galaxy Aero.” The codebase tags the device as “galaxy_rtos_watch.” This means that instead of Google’s power-hungry Wear OS found on the Galaxy Watch series, the Aero looks set to run the same lightweight Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) powering the Galaxy Fit lineup.
