Samsung Galaxy Fit 4 could have NFC

In a rapidly evolving market for wearables, fitness trackers like the Google Fitbit Air and Edge, Garmin CIRQA, and now Samsung's Galaxy Fit 4 are gaining attention. Samsung's Galaxy Fit 4, if confirmed, could potentially offer a unique feature - payment functionality via NFC in its Samsung Wallet. This capability has been spotted in the Galaxy Fit 4 Manager app in the Galaxy Store, suggesting it could be a part of the device.

Google's recent Fitbit Air and Edge models, as well as Garmin's CIRQA, lack this feature, which could be a significant drawback as society continues to move towards cashless transactions. While the addition of NFC would increase the device's cost, Samsung manages to keep prices affordable. The Galaxy Fit 4 retains the design of its predecessor, with no significant hardware changes.

If Samsung manages to execute this feature within a reasonable price range, it could set the Galaxy Fit 4 apart from its competitors.
