We tested the most promising smart scales that work with Samsung Health—here are our top picks
Scales have come a long way from simply showing your weight. With smart features, they can break down body fat, muscle mass, hydration, and more, and for Samsung Health users, the best ones feed that data directly into an ecosystem you’re already using.
While body composition data from smart scales is based on bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), meaning the results are estimates rather than clinical measurements, they can still help users track changes over time. In other words, consistency matters more than absolute accuracy here,
We tested a range of devices to find the ones that live up to the hype, so if you’re looking for the best smart scale for Samsung Health, look no further.
Quick picks: Best smart scales for Samsung Health
- Hume Health Hume Pod –- overall best smart scale
- Oxiline Scale MD Pro – buy-it-for-life option
- Withings Body Scan – for stress and recovery awareness, in-depth metrics
- Renpho MorphoScan Smart Body Scale – budget-friendly option
How we tested smart scales for Samsung Health
At Wareable, we conduct in-depth product research and test devices hands-on ourselves.
During the initial research phase, we compared device specifications, such as the number of electrodes and measurement frequency (single or dual). We also looked at the range of tracked metrics and picked products that offer a comprehensive set of features, including body weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, and water percentage.
For this specific article, we also looked at Samsung Health syncing reliability—whether it sends the data directly, or you need a separate app to achieve that.
During the testing phase, we wanted to see how these smart scales perform in real life. We asked whether the data is represented clearly, whether the app offers any helpful insights, and, in general, whether we think using the scale improves fitness.
We also considered consistency: do we see gradual changes in body composition, or just random, unexpected ones? This helped us determine whether the smart scale is a reliable tool for tracking health metrics over time.
App experience was a big factor in our evaluation as well. This goes beyond bugs and crashes: we looked at the interface, how clearly metrics are explained, and any additional features.
Our experts used Samsung Galaxy smartphones to evaluate these scales.
Hume Health: The Hume Pod
Best for: health aging insights and progress tracking
- Connectivity: Bluetooth
- Samsung Health support: Yes
- Metrics tracked: 45
- User profiles: Multiple (does not specify the limit)
- Weight capacity: 400 lbs
- Price: $229
Hume Health Body Pod is the most well-rounded option on this list. At $229, this scale is the middle: while it isn’t the most budget-friendly entry, it also isn’t the most expensive.
The specs are impressive. The Body Pod uses eight-frequency BIA sensors with a dual-contact system, both a base platform and a handheld sensor, meaning it scans your entire body rather than just inferring upper-body composition from your feet alone. The result is a segmental analysis across arms, torso, and legs individually.
What our researchers liked most about the Hume Body Pod was the insights it provided. Rather than presenting raw numbers and leaving you to interpret them, the app can translate your data into practical guidance.
It syncs with Samsung Health through the Health Connect app. The base app is free. However, for $9.99 per month, the optional Hume+ subscription adds personalized coaching and detailed health reports—though we didn’t feel like something was missing without it during testing.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Full-body segmental analysis | Optional subscription is needed for coaching features |
| Brand claims 98% DEXA-accuracy | |
| Insight-driven companion app | |
| 45-day return window |
Oxiline Scale MD Pro
Best for: instant readings without reaching for the phone, long-term value
- Connectivity: Bluetooth
- Samsung Health support: Yes, via Health Connect
- Metrics tracked: 31
- User profiles: Multiple (does not specify the limit)
- Weight capacity: 396 lbs
- Price: $179.00
We picked Oxiline’s Scale MD Pro as one of the best long-term investment scales out there. With no recurring fees and a lifetime warranty, this is a buy-it-for-life product.
While it tracks slightly fewer metrics compared to Hume Pod, 31 instead of 45, it also offers a retractable handheld sensor, which completes a full-body scan for more precise readings than foot-only scales can deliver.
Our experts highlighted OLED handle display as one of the perks as well—if you are in a hurry, you do not need to take out your phone, as most information appears straight on the display.
Now, one caveat: while Oxiline has an app for Samsung, the data from your weight-ins will not be sent to Samsung Health directly. The reason why we still included this scale is simple: at this price, this is one of the best smart scales out there, and with an additional app (our team used Health Connect), you can sync your data.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Full-body segmental analysis | No direct sync with Samsung Health |
| Lifetime warranty | |
| No subscription required |
Withings Body Scan
Best for: monitoring stress and users who want a wide range of data to track
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
- Samsung Health support: Yes
- Metrics tracked: 40+
- User profiles: Up to 8
- Weight capacity: 440 lbs
- Price: $499.95
With the premium price tag of $499.95, Withings goes beyond body composition tracking and includes unique sensors that are not available on other listed scales: an ECG for heart rhythm assessment and an electrodermal sensor for the stress and recovery score (known as Nerve Response Score, or NRS, in the app).
Whether it’s worth the investment will depend on you. Some of our experts found NRS to be confusing.
“I would check my body composition in the morning and see so many different metrics that I didn’t know what to do with them. NRS was the most baffling to me, as I failed to improve it by following the tips suggested by Withings. For me, this scale was just too much,” said one of our long-term testers. Others were pleased with everything Withings offered—and found the additional data useful for preparing for the morning.
For Samsung users, Withings syncs directly—so no workaround app is required, although some data might be lost, and Health Connect may still be needed.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Full-body segmental analysis | The most expensive product on the list |
| Additional sensors not available in the other listed scales | Some features require an additional subscription |
| Direct sync with Samsung Health |
Renpho MorphoScan Smart Body Scale
Best for: budget-conscious buyers
- Connectivity: Bluetooth
- Samsung Health support: Yes, via Health Connect—although it may not work
- Metrics tracked: 50+
- User profiles: Up to 8
- Weight capacity: 400 lbs
- Price: $149.99
Although the cheapest on this list, the MorphoScan Smart Body Scale also features an 8-electrode scanning for a full-body segmentation. With over 50 metrics tracked, it is as feature-rich as the more expensive products on the market.
To sync with Samsung Health, the Health Connect app is needed. This is where the main drawback lies—one of our testers couldn’t sync with Samsung Health because the scale app wouldn’t connect to Health Connect. As a workaround, they synced their data with Fitbit.
But this hiccup aside, our team liked the scale for its consistency in the body composition data and a clear display.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Full-body segmental analysis | May not sync with Health Connect |
| Unlimited users | Negative app reviews |

How smart scales sync with Samsung Health
Unlike Apple Health, Samsung Health support is less standardized across manufacturers, so how smart scales sync with Samsung Health depends on the product.
With some devices, you can send data to Samsung Health directly—all you need to do is allow it in the app. Examples of this include Withings, as this scale has a formal partnership with Samsung. However, some users may experience lost data or discrepancies, so Health Connect may still be needed.
For most smart scales, including the Hume Pod and Oxiline, you will need Google Health Connect. Built into most Android devices, Health Connect acts as a central hub—it collects data from your scale’s app and passes it through to Samsung Health. It takes a few minutes to configure, but runs quietly in the background once set up.
