Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 copies the worst part of Apple’s AirTag in leak

The Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 3 is rumored to be launching soon, with details coming from two leaks involving SammyGuru and Dealabs. SammyGuru provided official-looking images of the upcoming device, revealing that Samsung's new design lacks any built-in mounting mechanism. Instead, the squircle-shaped SmartTag 3 requires an add-on to be connected to a keychain, bag loop, or similar accessory.

This departure from previous generations of Galaxy SmartTag, which featured built-in loops for mounting, is a notable design choice. Other popular smarttrackers like Apple's AirTag, Motorola's Moto Tag, and Google's upcoming Pixel Tag also do not have built-in mounting options. Functionally, the leak indicates that the SmartTag 3 will support Ultra Wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth connectivity, boast an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, and have a battery life of approximately 500 days.

The report does not mention the network the device will use, but it is likely to be exclusive to Samsung's network rather than utilizing Google's Find Hub network. Pricing remains unchanged at €39.99 ($29.99 US), although a 4-pack will be priced at €129.99 ($139.99). The release date for the Galaxy SmartTag 3 remains unclear, but Samsung is already preparing other announcements.
