A Galaxy Store listing for the Galaxy Fit4 Manager app indicates the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Fit 4 may support contactless payments via Samsung Wallet. If confirmed, NFC payment functionality could give Samsung an advantage over rival trackers from Google and Garmin that lack payment support.
Wearables have seen an active market in 2026, marked by a resurgence in fitness trackers as brands like Google and Garmin introduce products to revitalize the segment. Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Fit 4 could stand out if it introduces one key feature. According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Fit 4 may support payments using Samsung Wallet via NFC. This capability has not been confirmed on the physical device, but early software listings suggest mobile payments could arrive on the tracker.
The Galaxy Fit4 Manager app can now be seen in the Galaxy Store, giving a preview of what to expect. Screenshots from the listing show an option for Wallet at the bottom of the interface. Based on this visual evidence, SamMobile suggests the device could make payments at supported terminals using NFC. If included, this would address a feature currently missing from many fitness wearables.
Recent releases from competitors do not offer tap-to-pay functionality. Google introduced the Fitbit Air for $100 and the Fitbit Edge for $180, yet neither model can make payments at supported retail terminals. In 2026, that capability is expected, especially from a company with a dedicated card management platform like Google Wallet. Garmin’s $200 CIRQA tracker similarly lacks NFC and Garmin Pay support, approaching smartwatch pricing without payment capabilities in an increasingly cashless market.
Adding NFC capability increases production costs, which brands generally try to keep low. If Samsung offers Samsung Wallet support on the Galaxy Fit 4 at an affordable price, the tracker could be a strong competitor. Information circulating online indicates the design looks identical to the previous model, which is expected given that the screen accounts for most of the hardware.
It remains to be seen whether Samsung introduces other notable hardware changes to the device. Pricing will also factor into its reception, though previous MSRPs indicate the tracker should remain affordable.
