Fitbit is one of the most valued wearable brands on the market. The company, owned by Google, has a wide range of products, including the Fitbit Luxe, Fitbit Inspire and the Fitbit Charge . The latter, according to a recent leak, would be close to receiving its next generation, the Fitbit Charge 5 .
According to the renders published by the renowned leaker Evan Blass, the next Fitbit Charge 5 would inherit some design features from the Fitbit Luxe , the brand's latest bracelet launched in April. That is, the new model would come with a new design inspired by a premium product, but without raising its price considerably.
The images show a somewhat more rounded chassis with two panels on each side, which could offer touch controls to navigate the settings of the activity tracker. This would not be a novelty, since Fitbit has equipped models like the Charge 3 and Sense with capacitive controls.

It may be somewhat strange that at this point a device like this does not have these characteristics. However, this year could be ideal for the bracelet to take a technological leap and be at the height of other proposals.
But that's not all, the Fitbit Charge 5 would also arrive in different colors. In Evan Blass's images you can see the classic black, teal and beige . If this is fulfilled, the garnet color offered with the current model could disappear from the catalog, although of course, new options would arrive.
As for the specifications, there are no details. However, the Fitbit Charge 5 is expected to have a blood oxygen meter, GPS, sleep tracking and sports activity log, among other features that seek to support the “holistic approach to health and wellness” that promotes the company.
The source does not speak of the price, although the current model was launched at 149.95 euros . Neither about the possible release date, but there are rumors that it could be presented in October of this year. Now we just have to wait to see if the Fitbit Charge 5 will be able to compete against its main rivals in the market.
