  "summary": "Samsung has announced its latest location tracker, the SmartTag 3. The device features Bluetooth Channel Sounding and Place Notification, which alerts users if the tag moves out of a geo-fenced location, according to Android Police.\n\nThe SmartTag 3 has a new design, resembling a small puck, and is about 35% smaller by volume and 33% lighter than its predecessor, as reported by Tom's Guide. It will be available in White and Black and can be purchased in a one-pack for $29 or a four-pack for $99 in the US in early November.\n\nThe SmartTag 3 also has cross-OS support, allowing users to share tracking information with friends and family, and an IP67 rating for protection from the elements, as reported by The Verge. Official accessories, including a Silicone Case with a keyring and a Loop Case, will also be available, although pricing has not been announced.",
