Galaxy Note 4: Blood Oxygen Saturation measurement

Last Update date : Oct 14. 2020

•  The blood oxygen saturation or SpO2 level shows the amount of oxygen in the blood. SpO₂ is an estimate of arterial oxygen saturation, which refers to the amount of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood.

•  Reading your SpO₂ level works the same as reading your heart rate. 

•  There is a sensor to measure blood oxygen on Galaxy Note 4 at home or any where else, and you can see your blood oxygen level by doing just these simple settings on your Galaxy Note 4.
