Samsung Galaxy SmartTag3 unveiled: smaller size and up to 790 days of battery life

Samsung has unveiled the new Galaxy SmartTag3 tracker, designed to track the location of belongings and pets. Although the third-generation model is more compact and lighter than the previous version, its battery life has been significantly increased. In addition, SmartTag3 is compatible with iOS devices for the first time in the series.

Compared with the previous model, the new tracker’s body volume has been reduced by approximately 35%, while its weight has been reduced by 33%. Despite this, the device can operate for up to 550 days under normal use and up to 790 days in power-saving mode. The body is also protected against water and dust in accordance with the IP67 standard.

The Compass View feature and Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding technology are used to locate an item at close range. This system can accurately determine the distance and direction to the tracker at a range of up to 60 meters. This figure is approximately three times higher than that of the previous generation. When the user gets closer to the tracker, UWB technology activates to provide more precise guidance.

SmartTag3 continues to work even when it loses its direct connection to a smartphone. In that case, its location can be updated through the Galaxy Find Network, which connects more than 900 million Galaxy devices worldwide. Samsung has also made the tracker available to iOS users for the first time. SmartTag3 will also be usable with Apple devices through the SmartThings Find service.

Galaxy SmartTag3 will be available in black and white. The device is scheduled to go on sale in South Korea on October 7 and in the US in early November. Sales in other countries are expected to begin in 2027.

One Galaxy SmartTag3 costs 29.99 dollars, while a set of four trackers costs 99.99 dollars.
