Samsung Charm 'Lifestyle Band' Activity Tracker Launched at MWC 2016

The new Charm band will be available in both bar and square styles, with three colour options - Black, Gold, and Rose Quartz.

The wearable packs a 17mAh lithium-ion battery which the company claims can last up to 18 days, if the LED notifications are not in use. The band can be controlled via the Charm app and can be paired with a Samsung smartphone via Bluetooth. Unfortunately, the company has not detailed the number of Samsung devices that will be supported by the Charm band.

Once the wearable is connected to the phone, Charm can notify the user by LED for incoming or missed calls and messages. Much like any activity tracker, it can also track daily activity like steps, distance, and calories, and can sync with Samsung's S Health app. We can expect Samsung to announce the pricing for the Charm wearable at the time of local launch.

The South Korean company also showcased several accessories including the Keyboard Cover and Backpack. The Keyboard Cover, which offers BlackBerry-like physical Qwerty keyboard, attaches to the handsets at the lower half and offers physical keyboards just below the screen. Once attached, the smartphone detects the Keyboard Cover automatically and adapts to the accessory. The Backpack, on the other hand, extends battery life of the devices. The company says that the Backpack has designed "precisely" for the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. A power status indicator will let users know how much charge is still left.

Samsung has not revealed pricing or availability details for any of the accessories for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge so far.
