Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag 3 features a rounded body with an aluminium-decorated button, and it is approximately 35% smaller by volume and 33% lighter than the previous model. Optional Silicone Case and Loop Case accessories are also available for the device.
The latest tracker supports compatible Galaxy and iOS devices through SmartThings Find, and users can check and share its location, as well as access supported nearby-search features. However, features like Compass View, Ring Phone, and Left Behind Alert are not available on iOS.
For finding tagged items, Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding provides distance and directional guidance from up to 60 metres under line-of-sight conditions, while UWB offers more precise directional guidance at closer distances. The device also makes use of the Galaxy Find Network to provide location updates outside the connected phone’s direct range, and Samsung says this network includes over 900 million participating Galaxy devices.
With respect to its battery life, the Galaxy SmartTag 3 offers up to 550 days under standard usage, and this can be extended to up to 790 days in Power Saving Mode. A replaceable CR2032 battery is used in the device.
Features like Place Notification, Location History, Movement Detection Alert, and Left Behind Alert are also offered. Place Notification can alert users when a tagged item enters or leaves a defined area, while Location History stores location records for up to seven days. Movement Detection Alert provides notifications when movement is detected after disconnection, and Left Behind Alert warns users when the phone loses connection with the tagged item.
The NFC-powered Lost Mode can display registered contact details or a message when the tracker is scanned using a compatible device. Also, its button can be used to activate preset SmartThings routines on supported connected devices. Location information is encrypted, and the tracker carries an IP67 dust- and water-resistance rating too.
Coming to its colour choices and availability, the Galaxy SmartTag 3 will be available in White and Black, and sales will begin in South Korea on the 7th of October 2026. The US market will follow, while additional markets will receive the device in 2027.
