  "summary": "Samsung's Galaxy SmartTag 3 has broader compatibility than initially stated. According to Android Police, the company's older smart trackers were previously limited to Galaxy smartphones and tablets, but the Galaxy SmartTag 3 extends compatibility to iOS devices and, as it turns out, non-Galaxy Android phones as well.\n\nThe update to the Galaxy SmartTag 3 is a departure from Samsung's previous policy. Android Police reports that the company changed its approach with the Galaxy SmartTag 3, making it work with more Android phones.\n\nDetails about the Galaxy SmartTag 3's compatibility with non-Galaxy Android phones were not specified by Samsung, but Android Police suggests that this is now clear. There is no further information on the exact number of compatible devices or specifics about the update.",
