Over time, smartwatches will only get better; new smartwatches can also measure pressure, skin temperature and heart health. A new clue suggests that Samsung may add a new sensor to the Galaxy Watch 4, which is expected to be launched in August later this year.
According to Max Weinbach, Samsung may add a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) sensor to the Galaxy Watch 4. This sensor can also be found on some smart body fat scales. BIA is a method of measuring body composition or the percentage of fat to muscle and other tissues. The sensor reads the impedance or interruption of the low-voltage current passing through the human body.
The BIA then uses this data to estimate whether the wearer is too thin or obese, because bone, muscle, fat, and other tissues have different electrical resistance qualities. Modern BIA sensors usually have two electrodes, which are placed on two designated parts of the body.

Samsung can replace this by requiring the wearer to touch a certain part of the watch with the other hand, which will complete a circuit loop. Having BIA readings on wearable devices may be a good supplement for everyone who wants to lose weight, gauge their overall health and see muscle growth.
Although the previous Galaxy watches were not satisfactory in terms of performance or fitness tracking, with the introduction of the Galaxy Watch 4, Samsung seems to be hoping for a big change. We have not yet seen whether this feature becomes a reality, and will continue to inform you if there is new news.
It is said that Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch Active 4 will be officially launched in August.
