The Pico 4 from TikTok star ByteDance will probably receive at least three exciting new features before 2023 is over. NextPit was able to test out two of them at MWC 2023: new leg trackers and an improved RGB passthrough mode. Here are our first impressions.
With the Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro, the Chinese manufacturer ventures into the realm of high-quality Android smartwatches and follows in Huawei’s footsteps. NextPit took a first look at what the Watch S1 Pro has to offer apart from incorporating high-quality materials like sapphire glass and leather.
Most of the Apple smartwatches could face an import ban in the US. This is after the Biden administration has sided with last year’s ITC ruling where it found Apple infringing on several ECG-related patents of medical company AliveCor.
As smartwatches evolve, some are also turning out to be reliable replacements for health-tracking tools. There is one area that hasn’t been tapped by major manufacturers like Apple, which is blood glucose monitoring. A recent development did suggest that this feature could become a reality in future Apple watches which do not involve pricking.
Among the notable features that Samsung shipped to the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 4 series through an update last month was the remote camera zoom. Basically, it allows zooming in or out using the watch’s remote camera controller app. NextPit shows you the step-by-step guide on how to use zooming on a Samsung smartwatch.
It is inevitable that Google will eventually integrate much of its smartwatch and fitness tracker features from Fitbit devices into the Pixel line after it completed the company’s acquisition. Unfortunately, this includes phasing out services in the latter to streamline the experience between the two ecosystems as they continue to exist.
The Peloton Bike+ offers a few interesting advantages over the basic model, including an automatically adjustable resistance, a rotating display, and an exciting feature for Apple users. NextPit has reviewed the Peloton Bike+ for you and reveals how much more you get for an additional $1,000.
One of the major upgrades that arrived with the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro was skin temperature measurement based on the new infrared sensor. Since the smartwatches were introduced, Samsung has not been able to utilize the sensor. The South Koreans are now putting it through its paces via the advanced temperature-based menstrual cycle tracking.
Samsung is giving more reasons to buy the Galaxy Watch 5. On Amazon, the best Android smartwatch is back to one of its lowest prices ever recorded. Up to a 21 percent discount is offered depending on the model you will be getting.
The acquisition of Fitbit by Google has already made a few health service integrations among recent devices from two different platforms. For instance, we saw the Google Wallet app shipped to Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4 (review). And now some Pixel Watch users are reporting of Fitbit Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications feature is appearing.
