- Samsung has previously confirmed an Antioxidant Index feature for the Samsung Health app that would measure beta carotene levels through your skin.
- We’ve now discovered that the measurement will be done through a Galaxy Watch, potentially the upcoming Galaxy Watch 8.
- Users will have to press the pad of their thumbs on the back of a compatible watch to trigger the non-intrusive measurements.
At the launch of the Galaxy S25 series earlier this year, Samsung briefly mentioned an upcoming “Antioxidant Index” feature for the phones’ Samsung Health app. This feature will measure beta carotene in your system, which is then used to deliver personalized nutrition advice to ensure you’re eating right. Samsung didn’t share more details about how this feature would work, but the fine print noted that Antioxidant Index will be available in 2H 2025. Thanks to One UI 8 Watch leaked APKs, we now have a better idea of how this Antioxidant Index will work.
