Samsung Touts Metabolic Health Tracking That Apple Can’t Yet Do
- World’s biggest phone maker expected to add Ultra watch model
- Samsung making health and wearables focus of Unpacked event
Samsung Electronics Co. will unveil a new health-tracking feature that Apple Inc.’s watches don’t yet have in the latest effort to steal a lead on the US electronics leader.
Set for a grand unveiling in Paris on Wednesday, its new Galaxy Watch models will track the wearer’s Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) index, which may provide an indicator of metabolic health and biological age. An Ultra edition, designed to go up against the $799 Apple Watch Ultra 2, is also expected to debut alongside new foldable handsets and a Galaxy Ring health tracker.
