Samsung Gear Fit Smartband Updated to Support Portrait Mode

Samsung Gear Fit supports portrait mode

Just weeks ago Samsung took the wraps off from its first model smart band, the advanced fitness tracker Samsung Gear Fit. The gadget boasts a lot of capabilities and it is packed with health-related features. It comes with AMOLED screen and it is compatible with a wide range Android-running handsets and tablets. The only critic towards the smartband is the absence of portrait mode in the user interface. 

The horizontal-only option in the Gear Fit seemed very uncomfortable for users. Fortunately this issue with the device will be forgotten before it even hits the markets. The launch date of the wrist band is scheduled for 11th of April. Samsung has rolled-out an update of the UI that has fixed the problem. As we can see from the photos presented by the manufacturer, the Gear Fit supports vertical mode as well.

The smartband will be officially launched along with the other new additions of the company, the smartwatch Samsung Gear 2 and the flagship Samsung Galaxy S5.
