Apple isn’t the only company said to be looking into the technology, and now it looks like Samsung may beat Apple to the punch. Originally rumored for last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra, the company has dropped its biggest hint that the long-awaited health-tracking breakthrough is just around the corner.

Samsung Electronics on Wednesday unveiled its newest flagship smartphone, powered by Qualcomm's chips and Google's artificial-intelligence model, hoping its upgraded AI features can reinvigorate sales and fend off Apple and Chinese rivals.
