Besides the Galaxy Ring , Samsung may have even more ambitious plans for the wearable industry in 2024 . According to rumors circulating in Korea, the business is reportedly plotting the manufacturing of the Bot Fit wearable robot, and it is said to be intending to debut its rival to Apple Vision Pro by the end of 2024. Presented at multiple 2019 trade fairs, Samsung’s assistive wearable robot—previously called GEMS Hip —was the talk of the town. Rather of being a fun Samsung Health accessory for fitness enthusiasts, GEMS Hip was or is intended to be more of a medical device—an exoskeleton-type wearable for individuals who may need to enhance their ability to move.

Rumors regarding the debut of the GEMS Hip tend to fade and reappear year after year, but the device has not yet become a commercial reality. According to previous reports, Samsung rebranded the GEMS Hip wearable robot as Bot Fit. All things considered, it’s probably best to treat all of this new information regarding the so-called Bot Fit with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, according to recent Korean reports (as reported by ETNews ), Samsung is planning to produce a first run of less than 100,000 Bot Fit units , with manufacturing set to begin in the middle of 2024.
According to this latest claim, Samsung finished developing the Bot Fit in 2023 . Rumor has it that the business plans to reveal or market the assistive robot in the fourth quarter of 2024 after pushing Bot Fit into mass production in the second or third quarter of 2023. The initial batch of 100,000 Bot Fits isn’t a lot, but it’s double what the Korean media said in 2022—that is, 50,000 GEMS Hips —in the initial batch. Needless to say, Samsung’s claimed intentions for GEMS Hip in 2022 did not come into effect.

The wearable robot’s future is obviously out in the air, but with Samsung preparing to expand into new product categories with the Galaxy Ring and an unreleased XR headset , the GEMS Hip / Bot Fit rumors appear to be gaining momentum again. Time will tell if this so-called wearable robot will enter mass production over the next six months, but nothing appears to be set in stone yet, as usual.

Supposedly compatible with both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 titles, an AMD -powered new portable PlayStation is now in the early stages of development.
A recent YouTube video from Moore’s Law is Dead claims that the Japanese firm is preparing to launch fresh portable products. With a proprietary AMD APU at its core, this console is now in the High Level Design Phase , which means it hasn’t been given the go-ahead for production and will be at least two years away.
There has been no official word on the specifications of this new PlayStation handheld, but according to Moore’s Law is Dead, it will most likely use 18 CUs to ensure compatibility with all PlayStation 4 games on the PlayStation Store
Moreover, PlayStation 5 games will also work on the system, however, creators would need to apply patches to ensure appropriate performance. Given that the PlayStation 5’s clock speeds are changeable, it’s possible that the new system’s GPU could operate at 1.8 GHz or even slower.
Moore’s Law has dropped hints that a new portable console could hit Japanese shelves as a handheld alternative. While that release might happen as soon as two years from now, there’s always a chance it could take longer if given the green light.
A new PlayStation portable may seem unlikely, but a lot has occurred in the gaming industry since the PlayStation Vita’s release. Given the success of competing systems like the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, it would not be unexpected for Sony to return to the market with a system that may outperform the Vita thanks to its compatibility with traditional console titles. Take everything with a grain of salt for the time being; we won’t know if Vita will reintroduce meaning until we have formal confirmation.
