Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 might feature BIA sensor to measure body fat composition
Two new Samsung smartwatches called Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch Active 4 coming this August. Recently, we have seen the leaked CAD renders of the upcoming Watch Active model, and now, a new leak hints at an amazing health feature of the Galaxy Watch.
According to MaxWeinbach, the Galaxy Watch 4 will feature a BIA (Bio-Electrical Impedance Analysis) sensor that can measure body fat composition. For those unaware, the BIA sensor shows the user’s body fat percentage in relation to lean body mass.
As the measurement of body fat is an essential part of a person’s health and nutrition assessment, the Galaxy Watch 4 can help users to understand how much they have achieved their fat-burning goal and how much it’s remaining.
Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis or Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) is a method of assessing your body composition: the measurement of body fat in relation to lean body mass. It is an integral part of a health and nutrition assessment.

Thanks to Samsung’s research partnership, the Galaxy Watch 6 revolutionizes running with the University of Michigan Exercise & Sport Science Initiative. This collaboration is launched to help runners manage their health and physical activity by providing more reliable and accurate data.
The Michigan Performance Research Laboratory (MiPR) — ESSI’s core research lab — will oversee an eight-month study that uses the Galaxy Watch series to estimate the VO2 max and sweat loss of participants as they run.

The study will compare reference data against smartwatch data from both indoor (treadmill) and outdoor running trials of different distances, from 2.5km to 20km.
Runners at all levels grapple with sweat loss, dehydration and heat management, particularly during the summer months. Samsung and University of Michigan teams hope the study’s findings will further enhance smartwatch technology, giving runners more accurate measurements of their health metrics.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic feature personalized fitness coaching, advanced sleep management, and health monitoring. For runners, the new Personalized Heart Rate Zone feature provides five optimal running intensity levels based on individual physical capabilities.
Additionally, Track Run helps runners record their runs while on a running track. During a run, Galaxy Watch provides in-depth analysis including asymmetry, regularity, and ground contact time to help improve performance and reduce injury.
Samsung has a range of Fan Edition devices in the pipeline, which could be released soon. The company will launch a new FE smartphone, tablets, and earbuds in the near future. A new leak talks about color variants, pricing, and speaker specifications of the Galaxy Buds FE.
